"The ultimatum
It was a calm day in august, and, as Torag noted, a slight breeze from the west. He again bent to his forge, “why does Dharok have to break so many cursed axe heads!” he muttered while tempering the 5th axehead he had made in the last month, seeing a shadow across his forge he looked up, a cloaked man stood in his doorway. As they locked eyes Torag felt a tingle go down his spine, who or whatever it was, it held great power. Then the stranger spoke, gesturing at the tools hanging on a cooling “You do good work Torag”the stranger said.
While puzzled how the stranger knew his name he decide to play it cool “I get by” he said “that is good, for I have a bit of a proposition for you and your brothers,” the Stranger said, boring into him with his eyes “I am in need of some…help, I need men who can lead an army” Torag was somewhat take back, he had heard about the skirmishes to the north, as had most of the town but he had not thought them significant. *so it will be war?” Torag asked “indeed it shall, the gods are even now gathering their forces, but the question is, will you be a part of it?” the brothers had dreamed since they where small of being soldiers, fighting for glory on the battlefield but now the opportunity presented itself he wasn’t sure he wanted in. “I will consult my brothers, but I warn you, the Kinshra approached us a month ago but we have yet to decide on their offer”
The stranger recoiled as if he had been struck, then cursed, muttering “they know, how could they know…” then he recovered “I expect an answer by the new moon” and with that he strode away, down the west road with his long shadow out behind him"
