Chapter 1 - Kaerok Castle
Eleven generations of peace had reigned between the kingdom of Kaerok and the realm of Aravia - a peace now shattered by king Tayba's brutal campaign of expansion into the neutral lands between the two kingdoms. Once revered as a pillar of justice, king Tayba had imposed crushing taxes to finance his war with his former ally, bringing desolation and ruin upon his own people. Had the king lost all reason? On the orders of the Arbiter, the company set out to persuade him to renounce his folly and wayward policies. Even if it meant storming the very gates of Kaerok castle...
Having overcome the Castle Guard, the Company leader called to mind how the banner lords had cried out their allegiance to their king... but also to Siroth. Was the king's warring folly prompted by the will of the lord of darkness? Upon interrogation a fallen knight confessed that the king had not been seen at the castle for many a month; his orders were being relayed by messenger from his encampment on the eastern front. This meant only one thing - the company would have to pass through the war-torn city of Arnoc.
