Days drifted by peacefully, without much to note—until that fateful morning when a royal decree arrived.

A messenger, clad in the king's colors, handed the sealed parchment to Jerrick with a grave expression. As Jerrick read the decree, the tension in the air became palpable.

It was a summons to war.

The Altanians, long-time rivals of Ayberia, had reignited an old conflict. They had resumed construction on a dam in the valley of Rudley, blocking the river that provided water to Ayberia. This had been a flashpoint for years, a problem first quelled a decade ago when Jerrick led Ayberia's forces to victory and halted the dam's construction. But now, the enemy was back, bolder and more determined, and the kingdom needed its legendary warrior once again.
