Zahir, who received a promotion as a Captain of the Blades, still did not manage to capture the flag atop the northeastern tower of Fastheld Keep, however. The Flying Dagger squad tried but fell prey first to a trench trap and then to archers using bated arrows and tackling maneuvers to bring down the team. The new squad's captain is recovering from a twisted ankle resulting from the trap. Once healed, Nikolaes Zahir is expected to lead the squad to Light's Reach to aid in dealing with bandits and reconstruction efforts.
