But it was a costly victory. More than a thousand of the City Watch were dead, with many more wounded. Hundreds of the Hightower guardsmen were slain. Malora Hightower's bloody corpse had been found smashed upon the rocks of Battle Isles. It was only recognised because of her silver hair and the necklace that she always wore. Garth Greysteel was found heavily wounded in one of the chambers above, surrounded by two scores of corpses.
