Darius West Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 After the Telmori War we don't hear anything about the career of this promising Lunar Officer. Did he die in the few intervening years before the Hero Wars? Did he retire from military service? Was he purged as one of Fazzur's Men? I mean, he won a pretty decisive campaign against a non-trivial enemy that was responsible for the massacre of an entire Sartarite clan, then we know nothing more, apparently. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Jomes Wulf was given Wulfsland as his own grant, while keeping his active command within the Provincial Army. After the Dragonrise, he and his soldiers fled to Alda-Chur. Along with Jorad Sideburn, Jomes now serves as one of Pharandros's senior field commanders. 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Eleven Lights, Jomes was commanding Boldhome during the Dragonrise. He then fled the city and retreated to Wulfsland. He didn't take part at Battle of Dangerford. He may still be at Stonegate as the surrounding tribes find having a proven wolf-killer useful against the Telmori (the uprising of Jogar Sog was is still fresh). In my opinion, he's retreated to AldaChur to shore up the Lunar authorities there but hampered because the Far Placers see him as a Lunar oppressor and the Tarshites see him as an Aggarite bumpkin. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) I wonder if Lunars have a problem with soldiers becoming disillusioned by what they see while serving the empire. That would be my default explanation for high profile leaders who suddenly decide to lead a quiet life. See it all the time in business - employees who are not quite p*ssed off enough to leave, but no longer feel a burning urge to perform.

Jomes fights at Dangerford, Battle of Queens, and, if he survives that, at the Battle of Heroes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My default explanation is : now I have done what I had to, I plunder enough to buy everything I want, I get enough glory killing these and I m tired to live among soldiers in barbarian countries. It's time to go back in a civilized area , where I can rest and be part of the "jet set" 😉 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens to Wulfsland when he flees Sartar? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why only Lunars? Is Argrath's side without any blemishes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajagappa Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago 5 hours ago, Phil O'Connor said: What happens to Wulfsland when he flees Sartar? Well, the Telmori are there, and no longer have to fear Jomes, so likely take to raiding the herds and flocks of surrounding clans rather heavily. There will be a few of the old Maboder clan around who now want to reclaim the lands for their own (but with what resources?). The Cinsina, Culbrea, and Torkani may all want to take control of some or all of the land, if they can only find a way to drive out the Telmori. And these squabbles/struggles will likely continue until a strong Prince of Sartar can find a way to resolve it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
