The Verakh rider from the south met the column on the tenth day with the message that Yakuh had dispatched from Yohan six days before.
The message was brief. The message's brevity was the brevity that Yakuh's communication style produced when the communication's content was the content that brevity's efficiency served. The message read: "Yohan stands. The 2nd Horde holds. The forges operate. The fields produce. The children grow. The city awaits the chief's return. Yakuh."
