"(
Caladan Brood:) 'Jorrick Sharplance, under him five thousand
Barghast and seven Blades of the
Crimson Guard.'
'Sharplance?'
Crone hissed laughter. 'Full of himself, is he?'
'He is, but the
Barghast so named him. As I was saying, five legions of Gold
Moranth dropped into his lap three days ago. Jorrick retreated under the cover of the night, and bled off two-thirds of his army east and west - his
Barghast have a knack of disappearing where no cover seems possible. Yesterday his panicked mob did an about-face and met the Gold. His
Barghast moved in as pincers. Two
Moranth legions wiped out, the other three retreating to the forest with half their supplies scattered on the plain.'
Crone cocked her head again. 'Jorrick's plan?'
Brood inclined his head. 'He's
Crimson Guard, though the
Barghast call him their own. Young, thus fearless.'"

"A faint smile quirked
Kallor’s thin lips. 'What madness has Jorrick Sharplance perpetrated now?'
'None, so far as I’m aware,'
Brood answered. 'Ease up on the lad,
Kallor. He pulled off the last one. Remember, you were young once, too.'
The old warrior shrugged. 'Jorrick's last success belongs to the Lady of Luck if anything. It surely was not the product of genius.'
'I'll not argue you that one,'
Brood said."
