The Tsolyáni General, Bazhán, speaking with Yilrána, the mistress of the Baron of Yán Kór at the siege of Ke’ér. When she refused to surrender the fortress, the Tsolyáni assaulted the place and took it by storm. Yilrána was subsequently impaled, as is the custom in Tsolyánu, and this was the sight that greeted the Baron’s eyes when he arrived at last with reinforcements.
