Title: The Things We do for Love

Description:
Dire news has arrived from a village, far on the outskirts of Azin. Reports speak of rising Reaper activity in the area, but even more distressing is a letter delivered by a rider to the Duchess of Kent. The missive tells of an impending attack by massive numbers of the enemy, only narrowly averted by a strange occurrence.

What power on Alquennas could possibly turn back the wrath of a Reaper army? What weapon might this be that could be wielded in the coming battle? The Duchess' Irregulars are being dispatched, but can they fight their way through enemy territory and bring back the thing that holds back the attack from this small town?

The event will start on the 209th day of TK 1051.
