The day before.
Principality of Norton, near the Falling Leaf Path.
"Hurry up, the master is watching you!"
"This is the will of the great Red Dragon!"
"For the Ashen Kingdom!"
Dolores led hundreds of Great Goblin and Bugbear troops, advancing rapidly along a special path. Their mission was to attack the capital of the Principality of Norton, Kenya City, as quickly as possible.
Although it was called a principality, the territory of Norton wasn't even as large as some of the more powerful counties. The entire region had only three cities, and three-quarters of its population resided in Kenya City, a city built with the assistance of the Boske Duchy. The name meant "place of rise" in the Scania language, reflecting the hopes of the Principality of Norton.
