"We have two thousand heavy gendarmes and three hundred light cavalry free within the city," Richter says, pointing. "The rest that are immediately available number about a thousand, but have to stay at their posts on the walls or we'll be blind if they move.  About three hundred Harpies have volunteered, but we don't have any strategy for them.  On the way are four divisions of heavy mounted Centaur cavalry, at a thousand to each division.  They're the best bet we have for any sort of interception force."

"They're mustering in the North," Tessaeba says. "Full field plate with their husbands mounted, also in full plate.  It'll take at least six hours for them to double time it to the north cantons of the city, and then they'll be exhausted. They need to stay in the open."

"And away from the capital," Bale says. I can give ya ten thousand, at least, but it'll take days to call everyone from the deep roads. Ya need to buy us time."

"If Iveria is under siege, then Arenesse is the closest to come to her aid," Melandil says. "We need to ascertain if the city still stands. We don't have the luxury of time.  If Aidlis is still fighting, we need to help her."

"She's a bloody Dragon, Melandil.  What makes you think she needs the help?" Bale growls.
