The Shadow was once again repelled from the borderlands by those of the Civil Watch when none other than the Lord of the Lancers known as Neveyan set upon the Civil Watch when the dark hordes were not even a mile from the Orchard near Ragan. This comes after Lord Weir of the Lancers warranted a patrol of Civil Watch for aiding the borderlands when they were overrun, taking refuge at the Commander's Watch Tower. The Civil Watch killed many of the Shadow and drove the rest back to the blight, only to be repaid with warrants.
The recent actions taken by the Saldaean Cavarly and Shienaran Lancers have been so baffling that the only explanation for their deeds is that darkfriends had not only joined their ranks but have seized power within the very institutions who were entrusted with protecting the borderlands. Each passing day brings even more clarity to the motivations behind the Cavalry and Lancers, and the truth is disheartening. The Shienaran Lancers let their own soldiers attack those who are actively fighting the Shadow, showing their true colors.
The Civil Watch will continue to fight the Shadow and any Lancer or Cavalry soldier who attacks us to stop us from this end will be considered darkfriends and treated accordingly.
