The Scalebound Covenants Operation In Ulaanbaatar Mongolia 240521

In the shadowy embrace of the Mongolian mountains, a tale of courage and confrontation unfolds as the Scalebound Covenant embarks on a secretive mission to fortify their mystical presence. Amidst this backdrop, a determined group, including the resilient Selina, the strategic Meridith, and the steadfast Autumn, finds itself embroiled in a conflict against Carmine, a formidable opponent with a knack for sniping and unconventional warfare. As the battle rages near the Noyon Mountain, the clash of metal and the swish of arrows set the scene for a confrontation that transcends mere combat – it's a struggle to either secure or disrupt a ritual pivotal for the Covenant's control.

As the night progresses, the area resonates with the sounds of battle and the roaring determination of those fighting. Selina, transforming into her protective furry form, and her allies showcase their valor and tactical ingenuity in facing not only Carmine but also the agents of Gonthorian, thwarting their attacks while attempting to secure the sanctity of the ritual. Amidst tear gas grenades, tranq darts, and the cold embrace of steel against kevlar, the group fights tooth and nail, with Meridith revealing her prowess even amidst setbacks and Autumn dedicating herself to the completion of the ritual. As allies cover and protect each other, an intricate dance of offense and defense unfolds, leading to a crescendo where determination meets destiny. Finally, with their foes repelled and the ritual successfully completed, the Balanced Alliance emerges victorious, a testament to their unwavering spirit and the unbreakable bonds that tie them together in their quest against the encroaching darkness.
At Mon May 20 2024, in mountains near Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

Mission: Get to the designated site and continue to complete or disrupt the ritual to conceal Covenant soldiers and dragons until the process is complete.

With dragon roars in the mountains of China, it stands to reason that the Scalebound Covenant would wish to find a secure point from which they could watch the activities. While physical proximity is not necessary, they seek to setup a base of operations in the Noyon Moountain in the north central area of Mongolia. This is also the location of over 200 burial dig sites from the Xiongnu era, meaning there are many artifacts and relics to be had in that mountain. Near in proximity to that mountain is also the famous Tomb of the Silver Dragons, naturally earning some interest from Shemra. In order to secure the mountain as part of their new base, the Covenant cultists have dispatched agents to setup a ritual that will conceal Covenant soldiers and dragons on the mountain and create another safe space in the world for dragons to lair in the near future. Naturally, there are those that will want to see this ritual fail.
