Frosthold Castle was in turmoil. The tribe was blamed for the calamity that would be unleashed if they didn't leave. Some wanted to help and were willing to fight, having already grown fond of them.George quelled their voices and united the Frostholds by reminding them that the Inquisition could paint anyone as their enemy, like what happened to them forty years ago. Whether they believed him or not, the Inquisition could sway the public trust, and their only hope of surviving the night was to prepare.Ingrid's grandmother joined George and ordered her hunters to listen. "They will kill Ingrid when we step out of the gate." She spoke with pain in her voice and told the tribe she was willing to let Ingrid die if it meant saving the many. An answer no one wanted to hear, but it was the reason she was their leader. She will do everything to keep the majority alive."Frosthold has stood countless invasions for centuries. We have fought many battles since and more after this," George said

William rallied the tribe to fight harder than before. Swords clashed against shields as the Blades battled at the behest of the Inquisitor like rabid dogs. The tribe met the Blades with equal ferocity and painted the battlefield crimson at night.John and Berg rode across the battlefield, tossing every last vial from Berg's bag. Explosions of light and flame tore through the Blades' ranks, clearing a path for the hunters to press their attack. They crushed the Blades' defenses, with John and Berg leading the Frosthold soldiers and hunters. Finally, they defeated the bulk of the Inquisitor's soldiers.With the threat from the battlefield gone, William commanded the hunters to save the castle. Berg and John led their people towards the castle, and hunters and Frostholds worked together to save their families from the cavalry that Abigail brought.As the Blades held their ground, vicious flames raged through the castle's gates. These are the elites, and they will not go down easily. Ber

William returned to Tarwood with an army of hunters. Exhausted from the journey, they pushed through their fatigue, driven by the looming threat of Tarwood's destruction. They arrived as dusk set. Tarwood celebrated their arrival and immediately informed them about the lies the Inquisitor had spread across the Kingdom.The lies had hurt Tarwood's trade and drained the people's morale. Towns and other cities shared their opinions about Tarwood, both good and bad. Still, with William's business and improvements on Tarwood, most of the Kingdom doesn't buy the Inquisition's propaganda. However, the lies took their toll and led to Tarwood's once-busy roads becoming empty and desolate.William stood in the center of Tarwood and recounted the battle at Frosthold. As they listened, the town took pride in William and John's efforts on behalf of the Frosthold and the hunter tribe. A feat Eldric would be proud of.The people of Tarwood understood what was coming and stood with William, determine

A blizzard settled for the night. Unbothered by the cold, the Inquisition pressed on with the attack. Determined to destroy Tarwood's walls, the Inquisitor and Abigail rallied the Inquisition to surround Tarwood and prevent anyone from leaving the town. The Inquisitor commanded the catapults to concentrate their attack on one wall until it cracked. The damage was small, but it was a start. "DEATH!" The Inquisition roared, their bloodlust rising as the wall slowly buckled. They are far from the range of arrows and are relatively safe from harm. There is no need to scale Tarwood's walls; all they have to do is bide their time, and once the walls collapse, they will be eager to swarm their enemies.Tarwood's defenders gathered at the scene where the crack formed. The rocks hurled at Tarwood and the scream for their deaths put a dent in their spirits, and they looked at William for guidance. "Have faith in our friends, as I have in you," William said. His voice carried over the cold wind

-----Two years before Eldric's death-----Rolfe Einherjar is of Zonian descent, like his father, Lenato, and his fathers before him. For the past hundreds of years, the remaining Zonian hid and grew in power. Infecting every small part of the Kingdom's executive branches. Now the last families of Zonian blood have a firm place in the Kingdom. The best time to attack is now! But there is one problem. Each of the high-ranking Pentalium members has their own vision, agenda, and ways to conquer the Kingdom. Different ideologies clashed, resulting in numerous meetings that yielded little to no progress.Lenato, the current Leader of Pentalium at this point, did his best to maintain the coordination among them, but it was all for naught. The Chief is too direct and aggressive in his approach. Margaret and Abigail work well in the shadows and will not risk open battle unless they have the upper hand. The Inquisitor, despite his age, wishes to play the long game and pressure the Kingdom throu
