Beginning log

After defeating Martel and finding their way out of the forest, The Etrurian Army faced the blizzards common of Ilia's winters. Ilia's harsh climate was a natural defense in itself against invaders. Sigune, flightleader of the Pegasus Knights that had turned to Bern, was preparing to attack Roy, coupled with Ilia's greatest natural weapon.
