Raid ยท Book 9 ยท Shadowmage
Sir Tyndal's covert mission into rebel-held Enultramar, posing as a minstrel to map the rebel lords' courts ahead of Anguin's eventual restoration.
With Duke Anguin's court still scrabbling for footing in Vorone, Pentandra dispatched Sir Tyndal south into the rebel-held south of Enultramar as her "shadowmage", a single set of eyes inside the courts of the great rebel houses around Falas.
Travelling under the alias Sir Tymas of Dunselen and posing as a wandering minstrel, Tyndal spent the campaign moving between coastal halls, charm-binding lesser officials, mapping the disposition of the Brotherhood of the Rat and the Castali rebel families, and quietly burning the worst of the slaver and witch-hunting cells he found.
The mission ended in a near-disaster at a riverside inn when his cover frayed and a hired Censor tried to take him with a coin-bound geas. Tyndal bolted north on a stolen pony, surfaced at a border post bloody but alive, and brought home the maps and ledger-leaves on which Pentandra and Mavone built the campaign of restoration two years later.
