Darkfaller Raid

Battle · Book 15 · Marshal Arcane · Victory

Terleman's assault on Mycin Amana's fortress — culminating in the expulsion of the Nemovort from Isily's stolen body and the recovery of Alurra, Gatina and the other kidnapped magi.

The Darkfaller Raid is the climactic campaign of Marshal Arcane. Following the mass kidnapping of magi from the Sevendor Magic Fair — Alurra, Gatina, and hundreds of others marched to Darkfaller CastleTerleman leads the Magelaw's forces in a coordinated arcane assault on the fortress.

The storming succeeds. Atopol infiltrates first, and the battle ultimately ends with Isily's ghost manifesting to aid Minalan against Mycin Amana, who is wearing her body. Mycin Amana is not yet destroyed, but she is driven back into the body's failing flesh — a victory that sets up her final defeat in Preceptor.
