The Beastkin Alliance

[A/N: The beastkin are more animal-like than human]

...

Through the connection with Aelyndra, Lance had planned to form some kind of partnership with the other races nearby, with hopes that they wouldn't object. With that in mind, he explained to Aelyndra his wish to build relationships with the other races nearby, and luckily, the dragon, Aelyndra, wasn't against it.

Following that plan, the day had come as Lance and his delegation approached the edge of the beastkin settlement. The goblins accompanying him were Rynne, Zarra, and Lia, alongside two other elders.

Before this trip, Lance asked Zarra to make contact with the beastkin in person, and the interaction went well. Just like he thought, the dragon's presence played a key role in making the process easier than it would have been. This happened after the beastkin merchants passed by and Lance used that opportunity to ask Zarra and some of her scouts to tag along.
