"Your Majesty, the reports of our investigation have arrived," a high-ranking noble who bordered the Standeen Forest spoke up. "Two days ago, we noticed dense black smoke rising near the territories of Bradford and Aeston Towns. I Immediately sent my knightsalongside a Wyvern Rider to investigate the incident.
"According to the Wyvern Rider who was first to arrive at the scene, he found a long procession of refugees headed for Aeston Town. When he asked one of the townspeople what happened, he was informed that Stone Clawed Rats numbering in the thousands attacked Bradford Town.
