Faolan recognized the eldest surviving Reed boy as the rightful ruler of South Gate, healed his wounds (as well as he could, anyways), and kindly exhorted him to "clean this mess up, and get ready to ride South".
  • The aftermath of the battle did not go as Our Heroes had hoped. Despite the joint victory and the important roles played by Tanner and Faolan in it, division & distrust among the Anglian Nobles and between North Anglia and the Frontier quickly reemerged.

  • Our Heroes awaken to a full-scale invasion of the Boudoan citadels (through large-scale Gates) by the combined forces of Lord Gahanna's Legion and the Gaels.
  • Our stunned Heroes finally decided to Gate into the heart of the main invasion and encountered Gahanna & Ahnah and Jock Ryan & Regan, who were coordinating the invasion.
  • Ahnah revealed that Our Heroes and their 'covert' diplomatic mission had been known about by both sides and the Boudoan were led to believe that no large-scale attack would take place without Faolan and Tanner involved, providing cover for the Gate invasion taking place.

  • Faolan leads a unit through Gates and Elysium to capture three Boudoan forts, including the one they first encountered. The honorable commander there kills himself.

Epilogue

  • Faolan and Ahnah strike up a surprising relationship while governing the liberated capital of the "Coastal Province' of The Frontier Republic.  When they give up governmental authority to an elected government, Faolan returned to the School of the Jade Swallow and began work on the highest levels of training at Warrior and Hand & a Half.  Ahnah returned to Brown's Ferry to take up residence in her/Madame Macon's home.
  • Tanner healed from his wounds and realized that he would only fully recover if he went west to find Bexar and his son.  He sold his interest in East Point to its manager, Seth Adams, who had turned the ranch into an important trading post. Then Tanner and Joseph Blackeyes took a wagonload of gold & East Point Whiskey and headed west.
