Description: Cunning Stratagem is Warleader of fifa 15 coins the War Aurochs. He is in command of the war-band when Ahlat has other business, and he runs them through their regular training exercises. He makes up the watch-bill assigning them either to duty in Yu-Shan or to specific districts within the South. Believing that a soldier’s duty is to perform any function, the Warleader shuffles the au- rochs between many duties in the South. He includes himself in the rotation, taking guard duty at Ahlat’s temple as often as he supervises battles. Recognizing that military preparedness requires time for rest and relaxation, he schedules the aurochs for regular leave and retraining back in Yu-Shan. At any given time, a third of the force is on call in Creation, a third is on duty in Yu-Shan and a third is going through retraining or a rest period in the Heavenly City or in Creation.
The Warleader currently suffers from an addiction to a dreamstone of the Games of Divinity. The stone is in the possession of Misarand, a charming dove-spirit of the Goddess of Southern Peace, Jewel of Prosperity. In ex- change for the use of the stone, he is feeding regular reports on matters in Ahlat’s palace and offices to Misarand. He deeply fears discovery of his betrayal, but he fears loss of access to the dreamstone even more. He will do anything Misarand asks of him.
Cunning Stratagem has a white diamond-shaped patch on his black forehead, whether in humanoid or aurochs form.

Description: Alone of the war aurochs, Sharp Edge carries a daiklave, and she wields it as only a puissant master can. She is the Training Master of Ahlat’s school of combat, and in all the South, she is the singular spiritual champion and advocate of those who use such weapons. Nominally, Sharp Edge is the head of the Desk of Essence Users in the South, though, in practice, she ignores all but the bare necessities of her office, giving herself over to the study of her chosen weapon, a daiklave of moonsilver she received from the hand of Luna herself after the Primordials War.
That blade, Horns of the Waning Moon, is a double- edged monstrosity of jutting spikes and edges, each grooved and razor-sharp. It transforms from a shape suitable for Sharp Edge’s hands when she’s in humanoid form to a horrific spiked crown that mounts on her horns and head when in aurochs form.

Sharp Edge has studied the daiklave and its uses in combat for longer than that the weapon has existed among mortals. It is her policy that if she hears of any user of the weapon claiming mastery of it in the South, she will appear to him in physical form and challenge him to a duel, daiklave against daiklave without Charms or sorcery, from dawn until noon, or from noon until dusk. More often than not, such a contest results in the death of an arrogant Exalt. If her opponent should succeed in holding his own for the stipulated length of time, however, without flagging or failing, she will point him toward a new daiklave or a powerful Hearthstone for his current one’s hilt. If her opponent cheats, she will summon the other war aurochs to hunt down and destroy the offender or to chase him out of the South. If her opponent refuses the challenge or retracts his claim of mastery, she will “give him a few pointers” and thereby raise his Melee by one dot, up to the limit allowed by his Essence.
