Battle of the Moonlit Banners

 

"High on the Gavlords they rode, into the friscalating dawn, into destruction and out of redemption, for a future uncertain and glory untold, through obstacles many and supporters massed, under tumultuous skies and above windswept plains, towards the fall and the rise and all that would follow. Their assistants struggled to keep up and were six minutes late."

 

- The Elemenstor Cycle, Book 12 : End of the Hierarch Wars

 

Thus begins the first of seventeen final battles that complete Book 12.

 

Leading the charge was none other than Baltor the Upright, also known as Killer Black. He and a band of Wasted Elemenstors charged the High Elemenstors and swiftly fought back the Chair Brigade. Though long and slightly dull at times, especially when the book begins to describe the number and varieties of plants that were trampled (and those that were not), the battle was not without its heroes. Young Talvin Atwhistle and Cherum Ullali, both High Elemenstors, survived a vicious onslaught and slew Baltor the Upright, thereby forcing the remaining Wasted Elemenstors into a retreat.

 

The following evening, there came the usual suprise attack and Cherum was killed. Talvin escaped. Both sides were left demoralized and nearly exhausted. It was during this surprise attack that Sierra Vanity was also killed, having been betrayed by several of her most trusted Elemenstors in a plot devised by the Dark Elemenstrix Kapybara. Ironically, Sierra Vanity's death occured mere hours after she had learned of her true lineage.

 

The fighting soon came to a swift stop after the intervention of Malthor Kratosia, who was believed dead.

it seems here that the chair brigade is on the side of the high elemenstors and the wasted elemenstors are evil.. if this is indeed the case, perhaps a little more explaination could be provided?
