Five mages, an Adjunct, countless Imperial
Demons, and the debacle that was Darujhistan,
all served to publicly justify the outlawry proclaimed by
the Empress on Dujek Onearm and his battered legions.
That this freed Onearm and his Host to launch a new
campaign, this time as an independent military
force, to fashion his own unholy alliances which
were destined to result in a continuation of the
dreadful Sorcery Enfilade on Genabackis, is,
one might argue, incidental. Granted, the countless
victims of that devastating time might, should Hood
grant them the privilege, voice an entirely different
opinion. Perhaps the most poetic detail of what
would come to be called the Pannion Wars was
in fact a precursor to the entire campaign: the casual,
indifferent destruction of a lone, stone bridge,
by the Jaghut Tyrant on his ill-fated march to
Darujhistan . . .
