The Dance of Blades

The Tumbling Knaves have begun encroaching upon Petrov territory. Small skirmishes and raids between the two circuses have occurred all over the Frontier. Thanks to Ringmaster Petrov’s foresight, a small band of Thorne’s Company soldiers have helped the gypsies of Petrov’s Merriment to emerge victorious from the majority of these engagements.

More terrifying are the reports of a band of Tumbling Knaves carving through Petrov caravans near Moarfyre. These Knaves descend into a berserker madness, fighting through grievous injury and slaughtering all they encounter.

Now, this band of Knaves, lead by a ruthless woman named Bianca, are on the doorstep of Eldenholt, a Frontier town with strong ties to Petrov’s Merriment. Reports state that half of the town has already been burned and sacked, and that the militia is all but destroyed. Ringmaster Petrov has sent couriers to the allies he made during the Drummer’s Revel festival, hoping to recruit aid in defending his territory.

Amidst the escalating violence, there are those that seek their own agenda. A contingent of Thorne’s Company, under orders from Commander Travis Newt, have been scouring the Frontier seeking a band of rogue mercenaries. Rumors abound that the Razorshale orcs nearly fell into civil war, and that they blame Bianca and her troop for their strife. The Lord of Moarfyre has sent scouts to Eldenholt to discern the extent of the threat and determine whether or not he will lend aid to Petrov and his people.

 One circus will not survive the escalating war that the gypsies call The Dance of Blades. The clash of steel on steel, the clamor of bells, and the anguished cries of the dying serve as the tune for one side’s final dance.
