Meanwhile, preparations for the upcoming melee were underway. The Knight of the Dragon's Heart wrote down the names of the participants on thin but fairly sturdy cards, made a deck out of them, shuffled it, and began calling out the names from the top — each named participant was to choose a spot on the battlefield where they would start.
- My lord Duncan Drozzdrang, Knight of Long Patience.
- My lord Yin, Knight of Serene Bliss.
Yin seeks advice from his comrades in the temporary alliance.
— Judging by the position chosen by my lord Drozzdrang, the knights of Albus plan to proudly take the center of the lists. Undoubtedly, the desire to showcase the might of their region plays a role here. At the same time, they deprive our riders of a position convenient for them. Given that you, my lord Yin, are yourself skilled in the saddle, I would advise you to stand closer to one of the arena's edges — for instance, near the southern one — so that the center and the corners remain within your reach.
Alaria suggests he stand at the southern edge, roughly parallel to Terpila or one cell to the west. If the knights of Albus form up in a box formation, Yin will most likely end up outside the reach of the enemy knights, while still being able to attack Duncan standing in the center.
