Never has pasta been such an ingredient and played such a key role in the efforts of so many.

We do not know the outcome of The Battle of BarterIsland, but we do know what the Count has been told.

We do not know the outcome of The Battle of the West Gate, but we do know where and why the Count is ordering his forces.

Soon the fog will lift over the reclaimed lands of the East Desert and those waiting in the mist will be revealed.

While in the vatholds, a Scot and Sailor exchange plans of battle and banter words of wardrobe.

Is victory on hold or does it wait below for new form to take charge?

On these parts, the blinding light of new day will shine.

At some, for others and on this their fight.

The stage is set, the players ready.

Soon, the curtain rises.
