Near, lead informant to the Baron, stepped before the sheep throne in Echo and bowed.
"Near, you know that I despise such formalities, especially from my own people."
"Forgive me Lord, it is simply part of my nature. But unfortunately I can not indulge in friendly banter today. I bring the gravest of news." At this, the Baron sat forwards in his throne.
"Please do not stay your tongue then."
"War Lord. War has broken out in Northern Wintergleam between the cities Treya and Prauge. So far no reports on casualties of the first skirmish have returned, but I do not think this will be a quiet fight."
It took a few moments for the news to settle in the Baron's mind. When he next spoke it was with a pained expression.
"How could this have happened? What provoked this madness?"
"My Lord two of the most powerful families in Wintergleam are backing the opposing sides. It is of my opinion that this is a way to settle some family feud between the two. Though why now, only the Great Sheep knows."
"Near. Bring me Troy Avalon. I can't allow there to be fighting in my county. He will lead a preliminary reconnaissance into Prauge. Also I need you to call together the troops. If they wish to have war let them taste True war. Maybe then they wont be so eager to fight."
