Sir Matthias Gilbert scans the report, brow furrowing. The Ursine vanguards have been stalled by Combine forces below. The Mariediens are apprehending a rogue Deathwalker on Anund’s shores. Even the MacDirk clan has its hands tied securing Laur for the Alliance.

Jandar’s orders were clear: Prioritize the Citadel expedition. Maintain Nastralund’s borders. Prevent the Combine and Covenant from securing lost relics. The Pact is to be monitored as well. With all of these factors, it is up to Sir Gilbert to dispatch allies at crucial moments, reinforcing key battles or hastening the efforts of laggardly offensives. But the sizable might of Jandar’s armies is spread thin. At the moment, only he and his own trusted knights are available.

“Sir Gordon,” he says, rousing from the report. “Marshal the Westons. We march for the Citadel at dawn. Tell Sir Denrick he is given command of the Ordo and Kallden Fortress in my absence.”

Sir Gordon salutes before departing to relay this latest dispatch, leaving Matthias to return to his thoughts. Even with Jandar summoning additional troops daily once more, the New Alliance cannot withstand a prolonged war with nothing to show. New recruits need time to train, and can only hold Nastralund defensively in the meantime. What the Alliance needs now is a victory. Something to unify both of its Kyrie Houses. They must be swift, and they must fight harder.

Sir Gilbert is available in the Champions of Jandar Remastered army expansion. Pre-order now for an October 2026 release!
