***“**You are a soldier of the Thirteenth: a disposable subhuman to your government. The moment you stop moving is the moment you freeze to death. Those Human fuckers in Freistadt would want nothing less for that to be your fate. You will ruin their days.**”***
— Frigerus Whitefeather

**Frigerus' Blizzard March**, alternative the **Fühlgartian Blizzard March** or simply the **Blizzard March**, was a winter offensive by the Fühlgartian Thirteenth Army in response to the Grossheim Offensive. The Thirteenth Army had orders to not intervene and, in practice, let the Republic of Marenbach fall. Frigerus Whitefeather, the Half-Harpy general of the Thirteenth, disobeyed his orders, launching a rapid counteroffensive amidst some of the most extreme winter weather in Marenbach's history.

Totally unprepared for an offensive, the Grey Temple forces began to falter under Whitefeather's attack. Less than a month later, all major cities except Rosendorf captured by Grossheim had been recaptured, cementing the Thirteenth as one of the most resilient forces of the Republic of Fühlgart. For their direct disobedience, Whitefeather and the Thirteenth were relieved of their post in Marenbach and "banished" to assist the Empire of Daletia in their stagnant civil war.

## Aftermath

After capturing Vomelssen, Frigerus Whitefeather ordered his army to halt, settling into their new position and clearing out any encircled Grey Temple pockets that hadn't frozen to death already. In the wake of their victory, the National Army of the Republic of Marenbach began taking over as garrisons in the liberated territory.

When news reached Freistadt about Frigerus' unsanctioned offensive, the Thirteenth was relieved of their duty immediately. They were sent further south to the Empire of Daletia to assist in the Daletian Civil War. Far away and stagnant for nearly 20 years, Daletia was jokingly referred to as a place of banishment by Fühlgartian generals. Whitefeather and the Thirteenth moved to Daletia without complaint, being deployed to many areas with long-lasting stalemates and often breaking them, much to the annoyance of the Senate.
