Drawken Kingdom

At the large steel gate adorned with intricate engravings, Dwarven guards clad in heavy armor stood at attention. Their eyes narrowed as they fixed on Johan's vehicle, clearly unfamiliar with such a machine.

"Halt right there!" one of the Dwarves commanded, raising his hand sternly. "What kind of vehicle is this? And what kingdom do you come from?"

Johan rolled down the window and introduced himself calmly. "We come from the Kingdom of Althuria. I'm Johan, and this is my companion, Aoi. We seek an audience with the leader of Drawken. We hope to collaborate and learn from the Dwarven expertise."

The guards exchanged glances, then one gestured for Johan and Aoi to step out of the vehicle. "Follow us. Your machine will need to be inspected first. The Grand Master will decide if you're fit to enter."
