Adventurers! Heroes! The civilized world requires your aid.

Our holdings in the east have been overrun by a max exodus of orcs, ogres, giants, and goblins from their mountain holdfasts above us. I know not why they have made this journey, but we observed them traveling in large numbers, carrying vast amounts of supplies.

So sudden and so quick have been their preparations, they have already begun the construction of forts in the western lowlands of Atherius. This cannot be tolerated.

The survivors of my people have tasked me with the supplies of vengeance and destruction, but we are unable to provide the soldiers as we are in the process of rebuilding. That is where you come in.

I will be waiting at the western gate of the Ruins of Caanae. Come to me, and allow me to provide you with the tools you will need to defend against this foul incursion. We will not allow the Horde to supplant us!

Penned by my hand on the 4th of Ultio, in the year 648 AD.
