"The south is a fragmented region.
"There are several noble houses, but the most powerful is unquestionably that of Count Ardan, master of the county of Ravemont. His territory is vast and well-defended, stretching from the hills of Endrial to the forest of Myra."
Everyone knew the Endrial hills, for they were reputed to be the first line of defense against the orcs.
For if the orcs wanted to attack the kingdom's territory, they were obliged to pass through these hills.
For its part, the Myra forest was known for the legends linked to it.
It was said that in the past, there was nothing there but dead, uncultivable land. But after the death of a woman, considered by legend to be a goddess, trees grew rapidly, insects appeared and animals began to live there.
This woman's name, according to legend, was Myra.
Maxime resumed his speech.
