The Legion flees to Gonen

Military action

The Legion flees west over the Cloudspine to repair the world knot. Cruniac is killed by Soulblighter.

"Leave it for the torches, lads, and make haste for Gonen!"   Cruniac's last words were of the bravery of the color guard, who had given their lives trying to save him even as Soulblighter had delivered the killing blow. [ . . . ]   All of us agree we must reach Madrigal and King Alric soon. But it would take months to get to Madrigal on foot. Garrick believes there is a World Knot directly west of us on the other side of the Cloudspine. Although it was destroyed during the Great War, the Dwarves seem confident they will be able to repair it. This I will have to see for myself.   As we were breaking camp, Garrick handed me a journal he had recovered from Cruniac's belongings. The commander must have taken it from one of the Baron's libraries.   What significance it may have had to Cruniac I do not know, other than it appears to have been written by a man who served in the Legion during the Great War.
