Discussions were made among Raze and his group of close allies. They would all be travelling together, but it was more so about who would focus on what as they fought against the enemy at hand that was in front of them.
Amir had agreed to lead the majority of the Dark Faction Clans. He had a relationship with them already, so those that were travelling by his side would focus on attacking the generals and those in the empire.
As they were to have somewhat of the largest armies with them, Mantis, Ricktor, and Dame would be by his side. There was much discussion, and it was believed that this might not be enough, so it was decided that the Crimson Crane would be added to boost their power.
After learning of what the Light Faction Clans and new weapons could do, they didn't want them to clash with them directly.
Alba had decided this as she didn't want her people to lose their lives, and a lot had agreed. The Crimson Crane had done a lot in the current fight against the Deleters.
