79 Preparation

~ Human kingdom of Astrata, City of Redfall, The Royal Castle ~

A guard in beautiful decorative golden armour rushed around passages in a sprawling castle, carrying with him a golden scroll holder.

It was inaccurate to call it a castle, as it was much bigger than that. It was more like three castles that had merged into one huge military complex; commonly called “the three sisters” by the peasants who lived around it.

This was the home of the royal family, where most of the higher tier military generals lived, and where the majority of top-secret magic research and manacraft took place.

Underneath one of these three sister castles was where the mage hunters operated, and this was where the golden scroll holder started its journey - from one of their special prisons.

After Alben the prophet made a grand claim of death, a new king, and a necromancer, an official report was made.
