Winter begins while Valerion's inner circle faces an absence the public timeline will not explain.

Intelligence confirms that a force built around twelve Ridgeback Siege Striders is moving toward Valerion.

Valerion completes a decisive layered-armor test for an anti-strider weapon, turning engineering theory into battlefield possibility.
56999-4-104 — Vyke Solari
Valerion chooses Vyke Solari as the ground on which it will meet the approaching army rather than wait behind Reinthal's walls.
56999-4-114 — Battle joined
The Battle of Vyke Solari begins. The Codex records the date and scale, but not the hidden preparations, awakenings, reversals, or final result.
56999-4-115 — The sealed record
Competing forces converge and the strategic situation changes rapidly. The public chronology closes here so the conclusion remains inside Volume 14.
