SURROUNDING THE SUNRISE (1403)

One of the great tests of a warrior's fortitude is the ability to bring 
battle to more than one opponent.  The elite reconnaissance soldiers of 
Darsylon's Second Dynasty developed a series of maneuvers known as 
Surrounding the Sunrise, to complement their dangerous missions into 
both the surrounding forests, and the tightly enclosed spaces of the 
Underdark.  Masters of employing obstacles and cover to their advantage, 
the legends claimed that to pin them in a place they could not defend 
was as difficult as Surrounding the Sunrise.  In one of the great lessons 
taught to the proud Darsylon lords, their guard considered their technique
too important and valuable to share with commoner warriors, and when the 
famed patrol was caught in a prepared ambush upon the Northern Plains, it 
was said their secret perished in the screams of the slaughtered elves, 
their greatest achievement useless in the battle.
