[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene 31?: To the Castle Coast

[Lev Lafayette]

"Well spoken Anzhur Daymare, of the Loskalm! Yes, even
here among the barbarians I have hear of this Kingdom
of War... Although this is the first I have heard it
suggested that it could cross the Nidan Mountains and
even venture to the Castle Coast."

"What then I wonder eh? What will happen with the
Kingdom of War reaches the Luatha?"

The Court goes suddenly silent. The King lets out a
great laugh and slowly with a few nervous laughs, the
court is once again alive in conversation. It would
seem that the King overstepped a boundary.

"Go see Wilkairtha; but enjoy your meal - it may be
your last one. I must confess, a strong King I am to
have carved out this petty barony on a isolated
wilderness full of strange creatures; but I am no
heroquester. What you propose is beyond me - but go
ahead - if you save the world I will proud to say that
I have known you!"
