...the person who says honestly that he despairs is closer to being cured than all those who are not regarded as despairing by themselves or others.
This is a military state of play of the four great fae generals answering the call of Balor's star following the Emissary's death, compiled by Silver Pact scouts, the Forbidding Manse of Ivy, and local free raksha scholar Omphaloskepsis of the Drifting Disk.


THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE ROSE
Warmasters of the Second Crusade


HARD-HEARTED BROKKR
The White Titan
Winter Descending
Lord of the Northern Bordermarches


Omph says: "They say the great ice plains were a quarter their size before he walked the earth. He turned his back on Balor for coming to love something more than war."
Army composition: Giant cataphractoi, behemoths, living storms, hobgoblin hordes
Last known status: Locked in a death struggle with the Bull of the North; unlikely to reach Nexus


ELEGBA THE LION
The Saffron Khan
Grandmaster of Flowers
Enigma's Architect
Potentate of the Free South


Omph says: "They say there is no plant he can't bid forth from the unshaped Wyld. He betrayed Balor because the others did, and he followed the majority will."
Army composition: Infernal war machines, firewand-wielding cataphractoi, promotable hobgoblin hordes, legions of mortal volunteer rebels
Last known status: Cutting a swath through Realm satrapies in the Southern Threshold en route to Nexus


ARDUA HUNDRED REEDS
King in Cobalt
Firstborn of the Tide
Arrowhead of the Dreaming Host


Omph says: "Without Balor's Star to guide him, his army grew lost in retreat, and fell to the deserts in the south east. The Dreaming Sea rose where they fell. They say he thought Balor lacked the will for victory."
Army composition: Dream-sirens, sorcerers, flying drakes, bound elementals
Last known status: Flying over Harborhead


CETHLEANN OF THE CROOKED LANCE
Duchess Primrose
Bellringer
Apis Regina
Keeper of the Six-Thorn Throne
Leader of the Second Crusade


Omph says: "And from the East, where Balor ruled, his queen. It was her treason that brought Balor low, because it was the only betrayal he would not admit to himself. She's ishvara now."
Army composition: Legions of raksha, enthralled nations, ensorcelled and enraptured Chosen and their various hosts and minions
Last known status: Advancing slowly south from Sijan to Nexus
