His lordship Baron Ludwig Stormwing is Lord Commander of the CrimsonCloud and a close friend of the LordMilitant. Wisely, Baron Stormwing has organised the SkyKnights into four wings, each with a separate patrol route.
His lordship's regrettable incident with DuchessFiredrake has been forgotten by all but gossips and palace servants. The IronSabre was old and dented, and never likely to see battle anyway. An accommodating Lady-in-Waiting assured me in the strictest confidence that the Duke had not liked that white wolfhound.

Commentary, footnotes, disputes, refutations, addenda:
It's a pity that the Lord Militant continues to refer to the Baron's longstanding romantic relationship with the MarquisJackson as "that unspeakable affair." There is a point where one might forgive such mild indelicacies in acknowledgement of the Baron's long service, given his status as strategist nonpareil. Perhaps something to do with the fact that the Marquis is the Lord Militant's youngest son?
Hard to say.

Whenever I visit his homeland, he is never available, always out flying some absurd distance. I shall have to resort to espionage, I believe, if I am ever to get his comments on the finer points of warfare. If I wait for him to settle down from all this heroism and write a book I may die of old age before it's done.

Oh, I see. Let's pay the MarquisJackson a visit, then. Unless he's always traveling, too? I need those war stories, that keeps students in seats, Ele!
