Attempted Alborian Colonization of The Grassy Sea
ExpeditionThe Alborian Empire's attempt at colonizing The Grassy Sea was the brainchild of Guillemot Gavreau, a minor nobleman. Gavreau, the somewhat sarcastically named 'Marquis de Cheveaux', funded the expedition with the majority of his families wealth and would go on to die ignobly under the hooves of the centaur tribes who call the region home. The remnants of the expedition returned home in defeat, bringing with them a message for the emperor and his court from The Tribes of The Grassy Sea; that their homeland was not a place for foreigners to discover, explore, own, or become masters of, it had a people and they stood ready and able to defend it.
