[Loch-Ruadh] Estrella War in Feb

[Julie Self]

Since Cat and Cathal are from Phoenix, and Cat's brother is a knight, I 
think they know what to expect.  The other thing that is thick out there is 
the air.  If I remember correctly, there is a tremendous amount of dust in 
the air with EVERY battle.  N'est pas?
