SHADOWED CORNERS

I am not a queen because I rule, I rule because I am THE QUEEN.

Birthed in my heart. Alive in my veins…

It was during the King of Valcresh’s Natal Feast that the King and Queen of Valcresh had gotten news of Leader Margo’s brutal death.

After Zorgan had killed him in Tavrodel, he ordered some of his men to cross to the Land of the Free and leave his body in a path locals frequented.

And it was after the Feast, that Zorgan had unearthed the significant discoveries he had made from his journey to Tavrodel.

Immediately, the King of Valcresh had sent word to the High Council of the South and the Kings of the Higher Kingdoms. The conclave meeting had led to a decision. The decision was for very skilled soldiers to go into every city and any village of the South, uncovering which sovereigns had offered sanctuary to the Strays- and to measure the breadth of their spread across southern soil.

This was the Veiled Mission.
