Fire against Mist (Volantis): Tis said Sorrows burn with sorcerous flame as the armies of Volantis advances up the Rhoyne by day, but the stone men are a terror in the night, one the Unsullied are ill-suited to battling for there is need for more than obedience in this battle. Vaenys called the Swift, commander of the Volantine armies, has made a most unexpected decision in the face of this foe, one the likes of which has not been seen since the most desperate days of the Century of Blood. He has offered some of the slaves traveling with the army the Trial of Meraxes, for those who would dare the most perilous tasks, of searching and fighting for the foe, of burning out the nests of Stone Men through the tainted countryside he offers freedom. Many of his own officers called this folly thinking that the slaves would flee with whatever provisions they were given, but the young general scoffed saying that he would have to work long and hard to make the slaves suffer as much as the Heirs of Garin's Curse would. From what your sailors have been able to gather his tactics seem to be bearing fruit, though some say that may because of the tremendous amount of power the Mysterium has staked on the endeavor.
