A Seventh Circle shaman entered the battle at the fifteenth hour, and the streets burned.
The shaman was not Vor'gath. Vor'gath remained unconscious in the palace's eastern wing, the toxin's degradation of the eldest shaman's power continuing at the rate that the toxin's engineered persistence sustained. The shaman who entered the battle was the second Seventh Circle practitioner, the younger of the two shamans whose combined power had produced the atmospheric manipulation that had pressed the Threian army into the earth at Harken Field and whose Departure dome had covered the barbarian army's withdrawal when the withdrawals occurred.
