Inexplicably, Croaker begins receiving mysterious packets that contain the tale of Bomanz, the wizard blamed for unleashing the Lady back into the world more than 50 years ago.

Within them, he hopes to find the Lady's true name, enabling the Company to rob the sorceress of her powers and thereby topple her Empire. His return is utterly shocking and the spiteful revenge they know he will seek brings despair.Ĭroaker continues to scour through 80 pounds of documents originally recovered from Whisper during the Company's first campaign in the Lady's service.

The Limper's hatred for the Black Company was notorious, even when they were in service to the Lady. Croaker was absolutely certain he had killed the Limper in a vicious ambush outside Meadenvil 6 years prior ( Shadows Linger). The worst news by far is the revelation that the Limper is their overall commander. Except for Whisper and Journey, the Takens' names are unfamiliar: Benefice, Blister, Scorn, Learned, and the Creeper. Their only real asset is that the inhabitants of the Plain of Fear itself (massive unseen windwhales and their attendant mantas, talking stones called menhirs, and others) have tacitly agreed to protect the rebels from incursions by the Lady's Empire.Ĭorder, the captain of Darling's Rebel cell in Tanner, arrives and reveals intelligence from Sir Tucker that the Lady has surrounded the Plain at strategic points with new Taken. Ironically, their Rebel predecessors had previously been hunted to near extinction by the Company themselves. For two years after their arrival, they have formed the haggard core of the New White Rose Rebellion.
