Before preparing to attack Stonewell City.
Wang Laoju set out to complete the last task at hand.
He had accepted a side quest to deliver a letter from a girl to her father.
The girl, who called herself Irena and was blindfolded, claimed there was a small town to the far south of Sobs Peninsula called Morne City.
Originally, her father Egret was the lord of Morne City.
He had kept a group of subhumans of humble origins as servants.
Like most people in the borderlands.
Egret was loyal to Stonewell City, abiding by the Golden Rule.
All was well.
Until the Elden Ring broke not long ago, challenging the stability of the Golden Rule.
The subhuman servants in the city suddenly started to rebel and massacred the soldiers within.
Irena took advantage of the chaos and was sent out of the city by her father overnight, but her father stayed behind, swearing to uphold the dignity of a lord to the death.
Irena was very worried about her father, she told the player.
