Proudly marching forth under the command of General Hendrick and Marshal Khain, the men of the Screaming Crows and Imperial Dragoons crossed the border between Minas Thalion and Oritolon. Defiant was their mood, ambitious were their actions. The first action of the war would take place on Oritolon soil in the region of Grentzen. A forested region that was sparsely populated and within a days journey of Oritolon City. It seemed to Boen a clever move that would show the strongest possible side of the army and make the start of the war quite awkward for the nobles of Oritolon.

16.03.12 - The fall of Alebad - Part II - Is this the end of Minas Thalion ? - or the beginning of the rebellion ?

After being dealt a real kicking during the battle with ambassador Lyle, Boen and the last survivors of the caravan retreated into the forest. With Alebad overrun with Lukon troops and Minas Thalion destroyed there would be no need to return there with any more food supplies.

So what to do now ? I seem to be at a crossroad, thought Boen
