"All three are old hands at this kind of stuff (the Siege of Pale). Back in the days of the Emperor they each commanded a company of Adepts – when the Empire had enough mages in the ranks to form actual companies. A’Karonys climbed through the ranks in the Falari Campaign, and Bellurdan and Nightchill were from before even then – came down from Fenn on the Quon mainland during the unification wars...'All old hands,' Tattersail mused, 'as you said. None have been active lately though, have they? Their last campaign was Seven Cities...where A'Karonys took a beating in the Pan'potsun Wastes...'He was left hanging - the Emperor had just been assassinated. Everything was chaotic."

"A’Karonys unleashed gouts of flame from the staff in his hands until Moon's Spawn almost disappeared inside a ball of fire. Then ethereal wings of ice closed around the short, fat wizard, freezing him where he stood. An instant later he was crushed to dust."
