OOC: Teskai is the Satar name for Tesecci Atteri, the Accan commander currently occupying Triad who, along with his small army, finds his former allies turned to enemies who now surround him and his troops in all directions after Talephas' death.
The Lay of Teskai
The Prince of Athera, men about him gathered, put then to his greatest captains and their men the choice. He gathered them in Triad court, while fell the spring snow.
Dark Rahvas of the plain stood there, and Vekis born amongst Akkanai silver fountains. So too stood Zephractes, Xienai-born and master of bows.
And so Teskai spoke. Betrayed, our Scion slain, we stand, and foes about us, friends far distant. We can return, and seek the Sesh's shore. But mountains cold and grim we then must brave, and every pass beset with steel-clad foe. An end we might make of bravery, but bereft of hope.
We can remain, and steel ourselves within, and hope that greater power of Arteras deliver us hence. Though in our hope we would become a fortress, in Triad-valley barren with fire shall we waste and starve. We can expect a coward's death, or a coward's deliverance.
Or we may go forth. And if at last, we are to be bold, and take the holy city of the sun, and bathe its courts in heathen blood, we would find golden grain and golden tribute to sustain us for an age, until at last the Karapeshai come, and hail those who conquered to the southern sea.
Exatas, then they cried, and rushed to Triad's gates, and marched to doom.
