>>5999541Rassenkens was the last settlement of the eastern wheatlands that fell before Hangar's riders, so it seems fitting to choose the ransacked town as a springboard for launching his season's ride; the Kurgan Warrior pausing a moment in the burned-out street to dip his hand into the ashes, then pull the shards of ruined dwelling through the ever-growing weight of his moustache in memorium of the change of flame and the decay of time. It is Ghughlukh Khan and his band that Hangar means to slay; and whilst burning out every Goblin Khan to the west would eventually bring him Ghughlukh, it strikes the Hastling Zar that riding south would bring him sooner to the presence of any Khan who might specifically be mustering their warband away from the other Khans and close to the plains of Zharr.
