==In Blood and Bone==
Prince Jatal and the Hafinaj had become part of a coalition of multiple Adwami tribes who - along with the Warleader and his mercenary army - undertook a major campaign against the Kingdom of the Thaumaturgs in northwestern Jacuruku. The first target of the combined forces was the Thaumaturg southern capital city, Isana Pura.Blood and Bone, Chapter 1, US HC p.61-64Blood and Bone, Chapter 2, US HC p.86-87
Prince Jatal was particularly fond of the poetic works of the poet Shivanara. The Prince even carried a small travel copy of Shivanara's verse along with him during the Thaumaturg campaign that he could read along the way while riding.Blood and Bone, Chapter 4, US HC p.146-147
On the morning of a planned attack by the combined forces upon the main, northern Thaumaturg capital city, Anditi Pura, the Prince - by now one of the two joint leaders of the Adwami - felt extremely pessimistic about, but fully resigned to, his own fate in the upcoming day's hostilities. However, Jatal feared greatly for the fate of his own people and so had made special provisions with Horsemaster Pinal for the Horsemaster to make as his most important responsibility for the day the care, protection and ultimate survival of the Hafinaj regulars.Blood and Bone, Chapter 11, US HC p.412-416/432
