The historical groundwork has been laid and now we enter a fictionalized account of the first battle of the Amazons. What we do know for an historical fact is that Queen Myrine’s army was the first in Telluria to be run on the principle of the Chain of Command, thus making tactical warfare possible for the first time.
“No more shall they fight as a troop of huntresses, but they shall be arrayed even as my realm is arrayed, with Officers governing each unit. Each Officer in obedience to the Officer above her, and the Generals obedient unto me.
“Thus the Golden Chain of Thamë – the rule of Holy Obedience – shall become the guiding star of our Armies. They will be able to move swiftly according to the plans of their generals. Against the roaring slashing hordes of the Enemy, they will be like a sharp and subtle blade in the hands of a fine craftmaid. Such a thing has not been seen in this world before.
“And I tell you each maid will be armed and equipped alike. Each shall wear like armor and carry a like shield. The Archers shall carry like bows and short spears for close fighting.
“And we shall have horsemaidens fighting from their mounts. No mascûl can match that, for they are too heavy to ride a horse at speed. Each horsemaid shall be like-armed and each horse caparisoned alike and they shall learn to fight as one, to charge as one, to retreat at the sound of a horn.
“My Armies shall be not a crowd at battle, but the very limbs of my Generals; and my Generals shall be my limbs.
“And now the fate of Hakkur is sealed, for the first battle of the Amazons is nigh.”
