The Kingdom of the Emerald Hills

A young but battered male walks from the forest, entering where he first came to pick up a sword (The Barony of Midnight Sun). Worn from a restless journey of many encounters, this young male seeks rest at the nearest inn.

After walking in the inn i go to the bartender saying.
"traffic has been busy since ive been away, do you have a room i may stay in for the night. I am tired from a long journey."

Walking toward my room,I turn to this man at the bar serving drinks.
"do you know of somewhere where i might find some work?"

Awaking from the deep slumber I was in, I slowly walked over to Gavalan

“Gavalan wake up I think its time we headed back to the Barony.”

'Who wants to know?' asked the uninterested barkeep.

With a tired wit, the young man replied. 'Thordor.'

The bartender stopped wiping the bar and looked the young man over. Reaching into his pocket, the gruff man produced a wrinkled piece of folded parchment.

'Well boy, it seems work has found you...', he said as he offered the document to the confused youth.

Cautiously, Thordor opens the letter as the first few lines read...

'Thordor, I pray this message finds you well. I have been expecting your return. I hope you have not forgotten your old friend Sutra...'

*Thordor, remembering his past fierce battles allied together with his old friend...many memories come to this warrior*

Thordor says to himself...
"how could i have forgotten"
"how much could have changed ?"

“Gavalan wake up I think its time we headed back to the Barony.”

I roll upright as Thangorn's words invade my rest.
"Im always awake just not always paying attention." A sigh excapes my lips as I whisper my next words " The Barony, Home. Yes let's go. Wake... him."

*The three men sit and talk for awhile, theen reach the decision to go to the Barony.*

I can feel that something is wrong. The woods have even seemed to quiet in anticipation... I wonder whats going on? I'll find out, at the Barony.

Excerpt from the jounal of footsoldier Padraig Niamh:

We've been marching for 4 days now. I don't know when we'll finally stop. No one has told us where we're going. A dark man rides at the front of us, although, i wouldn't really call him a man. We rest ever now and then to listen to his speeches. He promises riches and fulfilled desires to all men and women who fight for his cause. I'm not so sure I trust him, but how can i refuse his offer? Like the rest of my company, I am poor and cannot afford to not take this chance to make a better life for my family. I hear whispers from the priest encampments abot some dark god. They talk with enthusiam about this "new arrival". They are a non-social bunch, sticking only to themselves, save that for the man in black. They seem to fear him. For this, i do not know why. Tanglewood is the place that we are going to, but i wonder, why so far? Is there something important there? Will we have the advantage?And finally, will i survive? These are the questions that i ask. Only time will tell me the answers. Today, we learned our war cry. We have been chanting it almost all day.
All Hale Malla!
