The war rages on. In the Priador and along the Wizard’s Coast, the army of Salamanders grows. Cut off from Thay, the legionnaires and inhabitants of the newly conquered cities and towns of the coast do their best to repel the ever-increasing numbers of Salamanders. How there are now so many of them is not widely known, but it is clear the situation has spiraled out of the control of the Thayan leaders who orchestrated the attack.

And most recently, only days ago, Tharchion Tenslayer of the Lapendrar paid with his life when he made his way north to Nethwatch Keep. In an attempt to repel the Salamander army that threatened the keep, he himself was killed and mutilated by never-before-seen salamanders of great power.

Servants of the Red Wizards claim that there is already talk among the schools to ask for a recall of Szass Tam’s Legion of Myrkul from the northern invasion of Rashemen to assist the over-extended forces of the Lapendrar. And now, with the loss of the military mind behind the force that is fighting against the, it is unclear what -if any- strategy is in place to end the Salamander War.
