No Friend Discounts This Time

"It might be a power struggle," Norris commented after hearing Adira's report. "But, what I don't understand is why they are doing it right before a war between the Barbarians and the Tigerkins is about to take place. Weakening one of their Champions before the war starts is a very stupid thing to do in my book."
