"I've always had it on myself as far as I remember. And as far as I remember, it was just looking nice on my neck. Even my old captain let me keep it."

"Kept me from bad luck, I guess? Until recently..." Ethan grumbled, and then hid the amulet back under his tunic.

"Could always be the real-real Narius, for what I know."

"All this, and your main concern is source of magical fire?" Ethan mumbled out as he was led off who knows where.

"Have you considered that you might be somewhat of a pyromaniac?"

You decide that it is a good plan, and pass the command of Kastorian troops to the Xane-Peonian Marshal. The regents thank you for your generosity, and the Marshal is off to do some fighting the very next morning.


You spend your time at the court of boy-King Kemen and the Regents.

The Marshal of Xane-Peon is currently chasing Elea's troops into western side of the kingdom.

Meanwhile, the life at the court is getting a bit uncomfortable. The food is bland, the drinks are rationed, and the fireplaces rarely lit - and the swift winds and cold rains of winter are already giving you chills.

A) I need better treatment than that! I'm the King of Kastoria!
B) No, no, it's fine. Can't complain if they don't have much themselves.

You decide to lead the troops of Kastoria into Xane-Peon personally, to help the rightful King Kemen deal with usurpers and rebels alike!

---

Congratulations! King Matin embarks on his first military campaign!

During his absence, the court will be ruled by Queen Aguria and the nobles.

Your arrival at the Xanean Palace is welcomed with a great pomp. The regents and advisors of King Kemen bow their heads in-between words of praise. They've had you escorted from the border all the way here, and your army of six thousand has been provided with free food for the past two weeks.

You meet with little Kemen and make faces at him. Immediately he starts crying out loud. You can't be that ugly, can you?

After the welcome party, the war council quickly gathers.

"We have five thousand troops at the ready, King Matin of Kastoria." Says the Chancellor, the keeper of Scrolls of Kingdom Status of Xane-Peon and the main official at Kemen's court. "Elea's troops outnumber ours by at least two thousand, but more detailed information is not available. She has plenty of supplies and lots of money, considering she has taken control of the silver mines that were started at the western coast in the last decade. Each day we grow weaker and she grows stronger simply by waiting us out. Your arrival here will surely force her to make a move." The Marshal of Xane-Peon speaks up.

"The Peonian rebellion is contained and there's no need to concern ourselves with it. Ten thousand peasants is nothing compared to five thousand finest warriors equipped with steel and munitions bronze and arrows!" The war council continues, and it is evident that the local Xane-Peonian officers and courtiers wish to take the combined forces of the two kingdoms and assault Elea's territories boldly and quickly, hopefully ending the campaign in less than a year.

A) That is a mighty plan. I will lead the forces myself!
B) My soldiers are theirs, then! Hopefully they won't get them all killed.
C) I have a better proposal... (describe proposal here).
D) Did you try to negotiate with Elea? Surely we can have a peaceful resolution to this conflict!

There was yoinks and donces!...

"Cedric! We must go, and warn the camp! It is-"

"Everyone's dead there! Godfried, and others..." The green-haired spearman froze briefly.

"W-What kind of sick joke is that!?"

...and joyful reunions as well!
