Age VIII of 10

The Black Banners

“They march under banners now. An army, not a tide.”

The Black Banners is age VIII of 10 in Marrow March: 20 assaults under rain, with the Bone Titan at its end.

The sky

Rain. The ground drags at them; your fire sputters.

The host

The dead this age favours:

• Banner Carrier: Its cursed standard hardens nearby bone.
• Shield Bearer: Its shield turns frontal shots aside.

The lord at its end

Bone Titan: The largest thing the barrows ever gave back.

The March

Before it: Age VII, The Long Winter. After it: Age IX, The Hollow Crown. All ten ages.
