After making his way past Drax' Namdalener mercenaries, Antakinos and Scaurus confirmed the former's bona fides with a countersign involving Thorisin's opinion of hot-tempered women: great fun, but wearing. Antakinos reported that Thorisin had led two regiments to Opsikion to fight off a Namdalener landing. Thus, Scaurus would not be receiving reinforcements. He also reported on the attitude of people in occupied regions about the Namdaleners. The country people of were resisting the invaders, who stole their crops and displaced landed families, but the city people found the new lords' taxes to be more tolerable than the Videssian rates, and regarded the Namdaleners as protection against the Yezda.
