The End of Hope

The heavy sound of the Horde's drums of war drowns the Kingdom of Valiri. Castle Porphyron is to host a provincial council between imperial representatives and a valiran emissary who's sent to request the empire's aid. The Bloody Hand learns of this initiative and he makes his own plans to ensure than an alliance between the two dorian realms does not come to pass. War arrives at Porphyron's threshold on the wings of monsters and the clash of steel and magic reverberates in the barren hills.
