Sir Bezumo Kuriga, a young noble of Talerium, was travelling in Anost to meet up with the main army when he was ambushed by a force of 53 infantry and 72 cavalry. Bravely leading a unit of 26 archers against all odds, he managed to inflict equal casualties on the superior force before his unit was killed to a man. Finding himself alone, the young noble caught sight of a nobleman on a horse wielding an emerald studded warhammer. Using skills learned from being in the desert, he jumped onto the horse behind the Darkan noble, holding a knife across his throat while directing him from the battlefield towards Talerium. Thus did Sir Bezumo capture Schaeffer Blackwood, a knight of Darka, despite having lost all his men.
