Brother Falinir,
Your bravery is commendable, but I must deny your request to fight alongside the vanguard. You have performed admirably these last two years, but for our plan to succeed I need the strongest warriors holding the line. I am sorry.
As I have said countless times in the past, we all contribute to the hunt in different ways. Volas brings a sharp eye, Borsgrag brings a strong sword-arm, and you bring your inelegant swiftness.
Coursing is a vital part of any successful wolf-hunt, Falinir. Without you acting as bait, ambushes would be impossible. Is it a glorious task? No. But this is not a glorious business. I hope you understand.
Please report to Eidre at dusk to be fitted with your meat-garment.
Ebonarm protect you.
Huntmaster Cretia
