They were planning to invade the lands of Querious yet again. Now, it had previously been known to the men of Delta Sqad that the men of Brave – having already been disgraced and humiliated by their eviction from Querious at the hands of Delta and by their eviction from the East by the men of Init – were keen to take revenge and otherwise make themselves look like a real alliance. There were not very many men at the Keepstar this day, as many of them were in the hills tending to their livestock, but there were a few able-bodied men there. Thingul leapt onto his Rifter and rode off in the direction of the W6V Keepstar. Cynos appeared in the hilltops all around, and men of TEST and Horde and NCdot began to appear upon them in great numbers.

The sun grew dark, as if the depths of winter had returned, and a freezing wind picked up from the west. Suddenly, the air took on a distinct chill. On this day, Thingul was looking after one of his shielings in the hills outside W6V and things looked to be going very well: the sky was blue, the air was pleasantly cool, the sunshine was pleasantly warm and Thingul had many fine young frigates amongst his herd. He was an able farmer and an excellent poster, and was also said to have been one of the best Griffin pilots in all of Delta Sqad. There was a man called Thingul Sindacolla, a man of Delta who was held in the highest regard. This was the time of year when many new Vexors and Hurricanes were born and the shepherds of Good Post Country would accompany them to the highlands where they could graze on the fresh grasses and tend to their young. The air began to warm, the days became longer, and for the first time in the new year the sun began to shine into the deepest fjords of Delta Sqad country.

It was springtime in the lands of Querious.
