981 Cold War (Part 1)

Valeron, Capital of the Griffon Kingdom, Throne Room.

The Royal Court was in an uproar, torn between the reappearance of an old enemy and the never-ending strife between the ancient and the new magical households. A conflict that was only getting worse as the Ernas's and the Deirus's factions clashed more furiously by the day.

Phloria taking a sabbatical despite the fact that the undead invasion was far from being resolved had added fuel to the fire. She had disobeyed her commanding officer and abandoned her duty, an unprecedented act that made the matter of closing her trial even more urgent.

"Lady Ernas needs to be dishonorably discharged and sentenced for her crimes. Otherwise, all those who disagree with the laws of the Kingdom will follow her lead and ignore their orders out of petty grudges." Archmage Deirus called Phloria only by her family name, disregarding all of her achievements as both army officer and mage.
