One day Varnon awoke to news the Urgandtol had given up his hut
and had gone back to farmer forever. Never to be heard from again.
While Varnon could never envision giving up on something as
glorious as war, not everyone was cut out to fight this fight until
the end of their days.

A year or so later, the commander Ahjevil asked Varnon a question.
Who would Varnon recommend for the next drillmaster? Varnon did not
hesitate, as he knew the commander liked confidence and a firm decision,
when he said he was the best choice for drillmaster. No one is awake more
often, fights with more persistence, strives to be the best, and tries hard
to maintain honor said Varnon. Additional, Varnon said he is a student of history.
Adhevil said didnt that history thing get you in trouble. Varnon said what one
person views as trouble, another might view as an opportunity. A couple months
went by and Varnon was greeted with the imposing presence of Lord Verathi. Even
through Varnon was intimidated by the Lord presence, Varnon fumbled his
way through the induct of being drillmaster.

Over the next several months, Varnon noticed the commander dying more, taking
more chances, and being in a sour mood more often. One day Varnon awoke to
the news that the commander Ahjevhil had gone back to farmer forever as well.
Lord Verathi came down again and his time removed the drillmaster position from
Varnon and said he did not think he would have to do this so soon. While dying inside
at the thought he did something wrong, Varnon was soon surprised that Lord Verathi
made him commander. Varnon and the Lord spoke of several issues on that day. One of
them was War. More specifically the Tribunal War.
