Battleground


Parts of Blacka now resemble a field amputation clinic after one of the great Napoleonic battles, with raw stumps and severed limbs where once all was just peaceful countryside.

Will those great Tree Surgeon heroes, modern day equivalents of the Imperial Guard, return to the site of their exploits or is dealing with the dead and wounded not part of their duties? In which case the carcasses will be left as carrion ?
