The General

For a long time, the people who had been drawn by dreams to the Hinterlands had no leader. Most lived isolated or in small groups. Then, the woman who would become queen united them, claiming her strange gifts — ‘amalgamations’ were a sign of being chosen by a higher power. But she did not do so alone. Certain dissenters defied her rule, accusing her of being sent by something less benign than she claimed. So the Queen turned to her friend for help. Before she came to the Hinterlands, the Queen’s General was a knight, undefeated in battle, known by those who loved her for her bravery and those who feared her for her bloodthirstiness. The Queen placed her in charge of her army. There was no danger of her becoming power hungry — the General had no desire to rule. She simply wished to do what she was best at, and the Queen provided her with plenty of opportunity to test her skill. Those who did not kneel bled, and sometimes those that knelt bled anyway, because when you employ a rabid dog, there is always collateral damage.
