Expedition
The Kingdoms come together to look into a reported sighting of a lost princess. Rience of the Southern Kingdom
The Empire formed an expedition to discover the turht behind a believed sighting of Aurenia's former princess before it collapsed. The expedition was a sizeable two hundred with vanguard and rearguard. The Vanguard were mighty pople composed of strong adventuerers and warriors. The rearguard was a smaller collection of much weaker and newer adventures; the empire didn't believe them necessary but created the rearguard as a way to ease the people's minds.
After a month in the southern territory, the expedition had obviously failed with every single participant eradicated. There were no survivors.
