Could be looking at 3 enemy factions (Druchii, Black Orcs, Beastmen). And a faction, like the Beastmen, splitting up to hit 3 main targets.
"Three Spikes. Three Prongs. Three Fists. Horns and steel and curled."
"Some steel must go. Some steel must stay. Else stone and stone will break."
"Wood may rot, but death may spring anew. The Heart will call. The Bull should answer."
Instead, she faces Kyrian now. Some more of his Wood Elves have run up with him. Her seizure seems to be only getting worse.
"Dark wood drinking deep from fire-blood and-,"
"MORAI!" One of the Eternal Guard shouts, causing her to turn towards him.
"Five by five by five by five by five-,"
Hm. Wondering if this might be building up to 3 spikes, 3 prongs, 3 fists.
3 spikes of horn, 3 prongs of steel, and 3 fists curled?
And some steel must stay, and some steel must go. So... we've wondered whether it meant that Frederick must take some forces to go fight a big fight, and leave some forces -- probably with his son Magnus -- back at home. ((Though who knows, maybe Kislev is also facing a threat from the north, too? After all... the Empire-Kislev treaty was called the
Blue Steel Concordant...))
"Wood may rot, but death may spring anew" -- Frankly, I think this could have been referring to the outcome of Lovely Laurelorn; i.e. the Wood of Athel Loren (the Oak, Drycha and Coeddil, others, etc) had the chance of rotting and dying. But because of a whole lot of death... well, death brought forth new life. And so now, if the Heart calls for us, we should answer.
So... The Heart -- Avelorn and the Everqueen? Natasha, if Kislev has trouble? Nah, probably Avelorn/Everqueen. -- might call; perhaps to defend the Pinnacle, perhaps to defend the Wood Elves, perhaps to assault the Dark Elves somewhere near the Sea of Claws, don't know. The Bull should answer.
Speaking of Bulls, here are the people with Bull as a nickname:
Frederick: The Steel Bull of Ostland
Natasha: The Bull's Leash (don't think this one counts)
Anna: The Gun Bull
Magnus: The Son of the Steel Bull, the Screaming Bull
Arthur: The Black Bull of Ostland
(There's also the Bull Warriors, the Knightly Order. And young Ogres I think are referred to as Bulls? So Ostland's Ogres probably are called that.)
