Falkner

epithet: = NoneFalkner was a General of the Karsan Army. He orchestrated the campaign of the Flaming March in the War of the Northern Conquest, earning fame to himself and Karsus due to this foreboding title.

War of the Northern Conquest
General Falkner was present at the meeting between Admiral Marlow and the Cerulean Admiral when the two fleets met out at sea, disputing the other's claim to Axwood Island. When things became heated, the General warned Marlow not to be rash, but the hotheaded Admiral retorted by telling Falkner not to order him around. He witnessed his cohort murdering the opposing Admiral, resulting in the landing of the fleet and Falkner's army on the island that same day.

The Flaming March
As two Cerulean fleets closed in on Marlow's idle ships on the western coast of Axwood, Falkner led the Flaming March: His men would burn the corpses of the enemy as well as their own, spreading fire across the entire island as they tramped across. The army of just 4,000 encountered hordes of undead throughout, initially taking the Karsans by surprise but being easily dealt with due to their powerful fire magic. Falkner was confident in victory for the well-trained army of Karsus, but remained wary. After each victory, he ordered all corpses burned to prevent reanimation, proving his tactical skill as a commander.

Falkner's army reached the east coast of Axwood Island with ease, having disposed of all Cerulean forces and zombies on it. Falkner, however, was unaware that as he emerged victorious, a Cerulean fleet slammed Marlow's in the west, utterly destroying it and rendering the Admiral dead. He was surprised when after ordering the return of the army (when he was certain that the island was clear), he was informed of this development; this, and the two Cerulean convoys encircling the island from this point onward, resulted in his army becoming stranded for the rest of the war, having to resort to living off of the natural elements.

At the end of the war, he and his army were allowed to return home over three months after the initial arrival of Falkner's army and isolation at Axwood Island. Luckily, many of his men survived off of the wildlife and mild conditions on the island, before winter came.
