-Avarice: Caledonia Capital City
Early March, 398
Prince Mekre's Coronation Day

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Despite the old stone walls and meager lighting, Avarice Palace was the jewel of Caledonia. While it was not an impregnable fortress, nor a massive citadel, it was as good a seat for any king. Today, the throne room is packed with nobles from across the continent, all bearing a mix of emotions from excitement to apathy as they fulfill a social obligation to witness the crowning of the new regent.

"All rise for the distinguished King Athas!" The palace guard adressed the congregation as the towering form of the old king strode into the room, clad in his gleaming gold parade armor, carrying an ornate lance that doubled in times like these as a sceptre. Athas had long been known as a mighty, peace loving and just ruler, but he would not allow his image to become soft to the public. Several clap for him, and cheers go through the room.

He turns to raise his hand upon taking the throne, "Please! Honored friends, delegates, guests... Today is not a day to celebrate me. For four decades have I served as king, and two before that as commander of my father's military forces. Yet now, I find myself too weary to properly serve our people, our allies, our friends."

Rising from the throne, he steps down level with Prince Mekre, whom stands at the head of the assembled mass, and claps his hands proudly upon the boy's shoulders. "I feel it is time for my son, and your Prince, to take my place. He's become a fine young man, and reminds me well of myself when I were his age." Turning his eyes down to meet his, he lowers his voice privately to the young prince, "You do me proud, son. I will always be here to advise you, should you-"

The moment is broken by a young Caledonian soldier bursting through the mighty double doors at the end of the throne room. "My lord! My lord!" he pants heavily, his armor stained with blood and the signs of battle, "Vendalior vanguard forces have surrounded the palace! We've no idea how, but the palace guard is significantly outnumbered!"

A stunned silence rolls over the room.

"Heinlein!" Athas growls direly.

"My liege?" The greying knight replies, unflagged by the sudden turn of events.

"Take Mekre, my daughter, and our guests, and retreat to Fort Maxis."

"Very good, my Liege."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Princess Anachiel's quarters-

During the turmoil, Queen Aira quickly took her daughter aside, and returned to the young princess' quarters. "Anachiel..." Her mother looked at her sadly, "If Emperor Vigard has indeed changed his mind towards our peace treaty, I do not believe we are currently prepared to repulse them." She sighed, "I knew this day might come."

With a quick movement, she rushes to Anachiel's dresser, deftly pushes it aside, and opens a chest hidden in the floor panel beneath. Within lies one of the finest blades Anachiel had ever seen.

"There may be fighting ahead. This is the Earth sword, passed down to me by my mother, and a potent weapon. Use it to see your brother safely away, so that one day you might avenge us."

[Anachiel recieved the Earth (Sword), which she technically already had.]

"It might also be prudent to loot the palace treasury, lest Vendalior forces seize it in the fighting. Here, take my keys."

[Anachiel recieved Door key (2 uses) and Chest Key (5 uses)]

-Eastern archer nest
-Caledonia Castle

Ernesto Diaz kicks one of the last Palace archers from his blade, leading a small group of mercenaries through one of the gaps in the palace' defenses, thanks to a traitor's help in getting them inside.

Sure, the pay is decent... Yet they're in the first wave. Was Vendalior intending to use them as cannon fodder to test the enemy's defenses, or something?
