/// Yes, good thinking.

But, going back to a topic not too long past, they explained to the king that they actually had a really good reason for doing so. /// I love the way the vadeli are handled in this campaing. Always a good justification. I can picture wringing their hands and explaining that...

Apparently, there's a crack in reality on our island and the Black Eater is trying to come in through it.
