Dertan  

For the last week or so various members of the newly formed Riverwatch Pioneers have been training in the tournament fields of Pinevale, Kaedon.

The tournament fields have been closed off to anyone who has not got the appropriate authority to view events so there is some question about what exactly is going on behind the fences but one thing is sure - Cannon are involved.

For days now the new limber crews have been working to reposition cannon, wait for it to be fired by its crew, and then reposition it yet again. It's noisy, and expensive, but the end result is that Dertan, and the Riverwatch Pioneers, now have a method to move field cannons between firing positions far quicker than any of their contemporaries.

Efforts are being made to keep it secret as this simple little trick is intended to be introduced to the world in the form of a battlefield surprise.
