Representatives from the merchant guilds begged for Ackal V to order the imperial garrison to quell the riots, but he instead decided to unleash his brutal Wolves on the city. Confident that his Wolves would soon end the riots and restore order to Daltigoth, the emperor held a council of war with his remaining warlords on the bakali threat. Only ninety-eight hordes remained to defend the area around the capital from the enemy, whose strength and purpose was still unknown. Reports revealed how after their crossing of the Dalti, the lizard-men began to travel through the open country northeast of Daltigoth, toward the hill country between the capital and Ropunt Forest. Following their usual pattern, the bakali moved in a tight column, driving out every human they encountered and causing thousands of refugees to flee south to Daltigoth. During the meeting, a messenger arrived from Caergoth to inform Ackal V that the nomad tribes of Tokasin had been defeated near Juramona by an Ergothian force on foot. Although the emperor and his warlords were shocked by the news, Valaran realized that it must have been Tol who had led the Ergothians to victory.
