Someone claiming to be high up in the Blades contacted us, asking for his release. He offered secret Balaur information in return.

"Someone claiming to be high up in the Blades contacted us, asking for his release. He offered secret Balaur information in return." The Fang Legion are widely known for their ability to gather intelligence. The scattered Asmodians of Altgard, unable to form large groups, manage to stay hidden from the Balaur thanks in part to the Fang Legion operating in the shadows. A Blood Blade they recently captured was being uncooperative and increasingly aggressive. Ordinary soldiers could not handle him, and he only pretended to behave around Menrik, the Legion's commander. Just as Menrik was debating whether to simply dispose of the captive, the Blades made contact, offering information in return for his release. Menrik struck a deal with the Blades, easing off on his doubts and agreeing to their terms. But on the day of the exchange, the Blades were nowhere to be seen, until word arrived that they had raided the Fang Legion's hideout instead. The Fang Legion fended off the assault and rushed to the holding cell. The captive taunted Menrik with a smug grin. "No! Stop! It's a trap!" The plea of one of Menrik's legionnaires was cut off by an explosion. As the tremors subsided, Menrik realized he had been tricked, having allowed himself to focus too much on how he might use the captive. "I will not let him get the better of us!" The Blades captive fled, taking a Fang legionnaire as a hostage. Menrik could not stand by and allow another comrade to suffer for his shortcomings, promising to track the captive down by any means necessary.
