Book content

...For defenders of the Northern Borderlands, the biggest threat isn't the dwarves, but rather moisture and cold. Rusty armor offers little protection against enemy blades, and blunt swords can get stuck even in roughly tanned leathers. That's why the main allies of any commander who plans to live through the winter are the field forge and a sizable stockpile of wax and weapon oils.

( . . . )

Your frequent opponents in these lands will be Ohirian mounted archers in the service of Jacinth. They often act independently from the main army, willing to travel long distances to achieve their goal - which is to harass our soldiers with brazen raids when we least expect it.

The only way to counteract this tactic is through iron discipline and careful logistics. Avoid stretching your caravan formations too thin - stragglers and lagging wagons make for an easy target. To common soldiers, my advice would be to always stay vigilant and never part with their armor, no matter how unbearable the heat may become. Only well-fortified camps and outposts can be considered safe in Ahjat - everywhere else an ambush can happen at any moment...
