At the Battle of High Fort that followed, the Grass Jackets Brigade placed their forward elements along three ramparts running in parallel to the Dry Gully outside the fort. The brigade placed its mage cadre in a stone-walled fort situated on the easternmost rampart. Reserve elements, including their heavy cavalry, were placed along the other ramparts encircling the rear of the fort.Midnight Tides, Chapter 18, US SFBC p.548
