Within hours of the Sicarius announcement a private letter would arrive from Forinthry.

Greetings My Lady and Ruler of Burthope

One million gold in exchange for the head of every Grey left living in your territory. Wipe out the bloodline root and stem.

Sincerely

"It falls to her."

"She's a bastard."

"Her Father legitimized her"

"That doesn't chan..."

"She is her Brother's chosen successor. It falls to her."

The pair finally made it the end of the long hallway. A pair of twin grey cloaked guards snapped to attention before the Lords and opened the doors for them.

The study offered a view over Port Avalon, a small section of the Burthorpe Fleet still resting at anchor as news and chaos made it's way south.

Sitting in a single chair in the center of the room, the Princess Haylen sat alone. Spinning the hilt of her sword inbetween her palms, eyes cast down on the floor below her. The news of her Brother's, their King's death had just arrived a few hours previously.

"Your Highness." The twin Lords bowed their upper bodies in the woman's direction, but Haylen stayed silent. Her eyes still fixed upon the floor.

Glancing in between each other, one finally grew bold enough to speak, "Your Highness, you know what your Brother would've wanted."

"His body isn't even cold yet." Haylen's voice was hoarse and dry from crying.

"The Imperial Guard is in full retreat, Your Majesty. Half of Houses of the Kingdom are disappearing every moment we stay sitting here." The other man spoke, his voice harsher than he intended it to be.

The Princess's green eyes snapped up, narrowing as she stood to her height. Her sword hilt still clasped fully in her hand.

"Your Highness, you are your Brother's successor. The people must see that the Royal Family, that the Crown is still very much alive. And willing to fight."

Silence filled the room as Haylen stared on at the two adviors, both thinking that the bastard daughter was about to attack them.

Before finally it was broken by her turning from them and making her way back to the desk,
"Pull the Imperial Guard back from Burthorpe. The City is lost. We will hold the line from Taverley to northern Albany. Leave a few ships here in the bay to prove support but order the fleet out into open sea."

Turning back to the two men now, the women slipped her sword back to the resting place back to her hip, "They have murdered my Brother, made my Kingdom bleed, we will kill them to the last man, woman and child. Send a raven to the Del'Vairs, Blackmarch will be our only savoir in this."

The raven would be received by Kaeso within the keep overlooking Vairton. He studied the small scroll carefully. After a few moments, he grabbed a quill and wrote his reply.

My greetings and condolences to you, Haylen Grey, I hope you will be glad to know that my House and my bannermen were loyal to your brother and shall be loyal to you. For the throne that now has been polluted by Sicarous villainy is yours by right.

The men of the Blackmarch are at your disposal, my lady. We await your command.

Before we reclaim your throne, however. The White City lies open and my bannermen await to seize it. Allow me to claim it in your name, and you shall have far more at your disposal to face this menace.

Forever loyal,

Kaeso

Battle of the Barracks

Although the Imperial Guard are in retreat, Lucile and her mercenaries intend to slaughter what remains of their quarters in the Burthorpe township.

Side with the Imperial Guard on the defense or Wilderness mercenaries and Lucile on an aggressive offensive warpath.

Assuming the Guard will be uniformed in steel armor.

Wilderness mecenaries could typically be seen in leathers, salvaged armor, or an assortment of gear relevant to the environment of the hard north.

Date: Saturday, September 2
Time: 0900 PST

A short message would be sent to Kaeso.

Make your way to Taverley. We can not delay by taking Falador while our homeland is being burnt.

He sat in an old abandoned hut at the edge of Troll Country. A dangerous place to linger for sure, but everything inside had a thick layer of dust on it. Nothing had been touched in decades. The very wood of the building rotted and threatened to collapse. The cobwebs filled almost every small gap between anything. Atlas sat on the old bed, dragging his wetstone across the length of his longsword as the Sicarius usurper's soldiers ran rampant through the kingdom her served.

"For the second time in recent history, the Sicarius threaten to collapse this land."

"My father faced this menace..in this very hut. This is where the Republic fell. Where I sit."

"And now it threatens collapse again."

He drug the stone down the blade's edge one last time before putting it down and sliding the weapon into it's sheathe. he tied it back onto his belt and grabbed his helmet, sliding it over the top of his head. He gave one final look around the old hut with a slow sigh before making his way to what remained of it's door, slowly pushing it open

"It's time to kill as many of those feral bastards as I can before they win. For the Republic."

As the day drew on, four warships of the Royal Kandar Navy sailed through international waters. If left unchallenged, the vessels would continue their course and pass into the seas south of Taverly. The
HMS Vengeance
and
HMS Albatross
would drop anchor outside of the port while the
HMS Khazard
and
HMS Dragon Metal
roamed nearby.

No hostile intent would be displayed by the Kandars. Any other ships passing through would be ignored for the most part. The crew of the HMS Vengeance hoisted a series of signal flags requesting to communicate and dock at port.

Soldiers marched out of the forests and hills and stood in view of the wall street of Taverley. Amongst the colours of the various minor houses were green banners, bearing the black shaikahan of the Del'Vairs. Though some were sent to maintain order in the Blackmarch, the force which would be received by Haylen would not be the last from lands still loyal to her. Kaeso was en route, with a greater host of bannermen.

With these soldiers were supplies, food and equipment. They were ready for a siege.
