Twinrivers Rebellion
The Twinrivers Rebellion, also called the Rebellion of Twinrivers, is a famous uprising. The mercenary Balthasar Jaeger Voll played a significant part in suppressing it, and afterwards unexpectedly went his own way. He still has friends within The Scarlet Spears, above all those who were already members during the rebellion, and they hold him in high regard.1
During the rebellion the renegade wizard Gabriella the Kind actively opposed the Scarlet Spears. Her life was spared by an act of kindness on Balthasar's part, and she is now searching for him, driven by an unrelenting curiosity about why the mercenary showed her mercy. Her sole reason for coming to Vansreik is to meet him and uncover the truth behind that fateful day on the fields of Twinrivers.2
