Locked Horns:
Minotaurs have taken to crossing the Bull River and stealing crops from the farmers on the Northern shore. The farmers are angry at their lost crops, and it seems only a matter of time before matters come to a head and blood is spilled. The Duke is reluctant to send his forces to expell the minotaurs, not wany to risk the lives of his limited ranks or incur the wrath of his Elder Dragon Lord.Trade Troubles:
A number of trade caravans have been attacked by apparent bandits on the road between Oreston and the Tin Tower. If the route cannot be secured merchants will likely begin to look elsewhere to move their goods, potentially bankrupting the kingdom.Gone Girl:
And most concerting to the Duke, although perhaps less significant to the populace at large, is the fate of his estranged daughter. Some time ago she stormed off across the Mountain Shadow Meadows headed for Castle Ash, claiming she would acquire warriors to defend their holdings herself if her father was too cowardly to do so. No word of her has been heard since, and dispatches to Castle Ash have gone unheeded. As a Duke, Hurd is concerned about the whereabouts of his heir, but more importantly as a father, he is worried for his daughter.
