Military action
The blockade of Dire, including the failed invasion lead by the vampire captain Inecea Sufocan, had great repercussions for the Confederacy and the GMA. Sufocan however, managed to kill Osowiec Holaro, a high ranking Paladin, and fought his apprentice, Micheal Edgar, kidnapping his wife for his own desires to be fulfilled, and nearly making off with his youngest son, but being stopped at the last second by the Alpha of the Dire Wolf Pack.
