Thoughts

In silence the emperor, his father, sat, in silence he thought. Everything around him was silence. After his business abroad, the only thing he needs was silence. His head slowly falls to his chest; he wakes, looks around and continues to think.

Long ago before the kingdoms were created, he had thought, they, the Alder Rthasns, were the strongest among the living. There was no equal to us. With the bow were stronger than the elves, even the strong mountain orcs fled in front of our swords. Once long we were friends with the elves, now, there are only stories about those times. The only thing that made us different, from the rest, was our will to conquer everything in our path. Old alliances were broken, my ancestors left the homeland in search for better lands, but the stories remained, they will remain forever. At first, they were only stories that were told over camp fires, now they became legends that everybody knows. Finally, it was discovered why they left, in that part of the homeland, there was only night eternal. The only part that had little sunlight was near the elven forests. After their long journey, my ancestors started conquering the highlands. They easily adapted to the shift of the night and day. Some of them even forgot the night eternal of the homeland.

On their travels they found other hordes of men. With them, they were at war; with some they made peace and trading arrangements. It didn't last for long; the massive group was divided into three smaller kingdoms. The borders were precise; they didn't change them for centuries. But, the hearts of men were never still, they wanted more. They returned to the homeland. To conquest the homeland was an amazing feat. The conquest of the other two kingdoms would be easy. I have ordered my closes adviser to gather forty of greatest knights in the kingdom. They succeeded, after a long and bloody battle, the homeland was theirs. Will they succeed in fortifying in? Only time will tell.

He hoped so.
