Ill tidings indeed, and a particularly nasty unconventional weapon for a particularly nasty race. The story was very well written with the characters of Captain Manfredd and the Dark Elf Fleetmaster being nicely developed in the brief time available. I personally would have preferred a more unique take on the lore - this story could have been set in the world that inspired OPR, whereas my preference is something to mark the setting and characters as unique to Tyria - but that's a personal preference. Overall well done and a very well-written entry!
