11th December, 786 D.R.
Second Captain Geron Talhan of the 8th Legion,

The Saladari have pushed our forces past the 3rd perimeter, our defenses are failing. We are besieged and pinned in Fort Zarion. They assaulted us at a border watchfort 12 days ago, we fought them off temporarily but retreated to the Fort the following day with heavy losses. We cannot hold the gate for long and once it falls, all of us will be slaughtered. The Saladari will stop at nothing and between them and the Altaronian Forces, Fort Zarion will fall for certain. If help is to come it must come now!

Second Captain Geron Talhan of the 8th Legion,

They took the gatehouse on the 3rd day of the siege, fighting has been fierce but the keep will fall whithin the hour. All hope for the Fort is lost and we will abandon it. Once the keep door falls we will sally forth and cut our way through, with luck and the favour of the Gods we shall prevail and reach the Fortress of Kran'De Gor alive.

29th December, 786 D.R.
First Captain Eddard Talhan of the 8th Legion

The remnants of the 26th company of the 8th legion of the Amalosin Royal Army reached the Fortress of Kran'De Gor yesterday. Our pursuers arrived an hour later and were slain beneath its gates. However, the Saladari and Altaronian Armies are on the move and will arrive soon. Time is short and if the 2nd legion does not come then all of Amalos' eastern territories will be lost. In a war such as this, words can win as much as swords can. Diplomacy with Saladar is the only way to salvage this situation. Furthermore, supplies and morale are in short supply and many companies cannot be trusted to remain loyal once the siege begins, even my brother, Geron Talhan is not above suspicion. The 2nd Legion must come! Otherwise, nothing will be left of the 8th Legion.
