To solidify his power in the North, King Talork brought his army farther North than anyone expected. He plans to visit every city, town, and village to make every Lord, Governor, and Barron, pledge their allegiance and pay taxes. Whole cities are fleeing rather than succumb to his rule. There was one who refused to leave his homeland, and bow before the King, Corvus of the Grey Hills. Corvus was the older of two Brothers, yet his Father named his younger Brother Dorran as his Heir, and Lord of the Grey Hills. Xander Corvus was relegated to commanding a small fort neighboring a remote town, while his Brother, Lord Dorran sat in the Grey Keep and ruled the people. Years ago, Corvus's Father and Grandfather refused to bow before the King, and died fighting for their lands. Since then, there has been animosity between the King and the Grey Hills, and it was feared that once the King arrived, he would have no pity on the population. This prompted Dorran to lead a mass exodus and surrender his land. And so, the defiant Corvus remained in his small fort, while nearly everyone abandoned the land, including nearly all the soldiers. Corvus had a reputation for being irresponsible and impulsive, but now everyone thought he was completely insane.
