And the legend of Saint Wylan is born.

It was a decisive battle in the early campaign, and introduces our antagonist well. Kilij Arslan was a BASTARD, but he was an effective one. Ruthless, brutal, and bled the Crusade. It starts with 150,000 men, by the time Arslan is done with it, it's 12,000 at most. One of the most effective Generals of the Crusades.

Ch13 The road from Nicaea led east, and the east led to hell. Darien had known heat before. He'd sweated through summers in Normandy, roasted on the decks of ships crossing the Mediterranean, baked in the Anatolian foothills outside the city's walls. But this—this was something else. This was heat that didn't just press down but reached *inside*, drying the mouth, cracking the lips, turning the brain to wool inside the skull. It was heat that made men look at their

yes. to both. Pip can change his appearance at will, since Cherub's are typically descirbed as this: I thought it best for him to have this power. As for Mrs. Hartley, well Pip did say one of his powers was Gentle nudges.

I mean if you want to get technical there wasn't a "Northern Kingdom" and the whole Crusade would be talking old French, so I don't mind getting a little "Romantic" with the language.

There's a reason these are called "CHARLIE vs" and not "Taine vs"

Oh Alexios saved that city, the Crusaders would have sacked it and burned it, and given Raymond, Boehemond's disregard for oaths to him, they'd never have given it back to him. He did what he had to do, but to the Crusaders that was a high betrayal.

Pip isn't on the Taine Train. He can see the wrecking ball that the professor is. And Pip's right, if Taine actually loved Charlie, he'd be with Charlie. Stringing both Tyler and Charlie along because he doesn't want to hurt them is possibly worse than actually getting it over with. Taine, gridlocked by his own ethics... Nope, Pip's got no time for that sanctimonious BS

Ahh Pip, you're awesome, dude.

Chapter Six: The Cherub Who Surfed Charlie was still processing the garden when the doorbell rang. He'd barely made it inside, barely had time to register that Matt had hugged him and made him laugh and reminded him that friendship was still a thing that existed in this world. His cheeks were flushed from their wrestling, his sides still ached from laughing, and for a moment—just a moment—the weight of everything had lifted. Then the doorbell rang. Mrs. Hartley's

I finished: The Lord of the Pierced Dawn this morning. I will start working on the Fourth and final book which should see the return from the Crusades. 1100 a new Century, a new era.

Tomorrow: The Battle of Doralyeum Wylan get's his first exposure to real war, and Lord Haskal shows everyone why he's the General of the Silver Boar.

Radoslav distributing wealth to himself.

Wylan's no fool, he gets written off, but he's by far the most intelligent out of the group. Radoslav hides his intelligence and is a savy operator who hides it behind the smell and the playboy persona. He does, however, see Wylan clearly, the way Haskal does. This keeps Radoslav's host alive through some darkness to come.

Morning And Emperor Alexios is one Wiley Wabbit... wonder if this will come back to bite him on the butt... Oh wait, it does, SEVERAL times.

Ch12 The night before the assault, the camp stank of anticipation. It was a smell Darien recognized—sharp and metallic, like blood before it was spilled. It clung to the men who sharpened their swords by firelight, to the horses who stamped and rolled their eyes at something they sensed but couldn't name, to the very air itself. Three weeks of siege, three weeks of dysentery and short rations and that fucking fog every night, and now—finally—they would have their v

Ishan is the face of the Seljuk Empire through the books, He and his two brothers, Crown-Prince Khalid ibn Fadil al'Kalijj and Prince Rashid ibn Fadil al'Kalijj are the grandsons of Sultan Kalijj Arslan the Emperor of the Seljuk Empire, Sultan of Rum, and Lord of Levant coast. Ishan is Lord of the Pierced Dawn, his sigil a red sun pierced by a silver spear, on a field of black. The Sorcerer-Prince of Isfahan.
-
The man who gave it was not a Seljuk, his warning and the gift of the book was to try to protect Wylan from the threat that Ishan poses.. He was a Magi of the Emperor's employ recognizing what Wylan was.

Simon and Taine would sit, awkwardly on the side, offering wet wipes and making comments asking if people need to hydrate. Matt will be enthusiastic till he notices Simon sitting out, and then he'd be spending the rest of his time trying to make sure Simon was ok. Tyler would probably be making everyone tea, and making excuses because he's more into just Taine and will be polite complimenting the performances. The pyromancer would turn pink stammer and hide in the corner. Charlie would feign a cramp, and go run it off. leaving Pip and Lynix the only two left in it... and well...

you never know, they could all end up in a pile if Morgan McNutJob (NHRN) has her way.. once they let her out of Magical Broadmoor.
