=============================================
Cycle of the Phoenix 00-09, Year 480.
Official Announcement from the War Forum in the Imperial Palace.
The shattered remains of the strike force limped back to the seat of Imperial power in Hermertia.
They fell sword first into the Abyss, the realm of nightmares.
But they have returned, heavily diminished but victorious.
Catastrophic losses were sustained in the battle, with multiple confirmed deaths of Nobles and their retinues. The few that returned alive bore the bodies of their fellows that were slain in the darkness.
