Birek plotted something to delude Lancaster. It, however, did not turn out good, and he got caught by Lancaster. Lancaster demmanded a hostage trade of Birek for Serene.
Back in those days, it was known to everyone that two warriors of Mirith had defected to Lancaster. They found Lancaster's favour. Their Golden Fleece, which was given by the Twins, attracted Lancaster very much.
On this day, the two and Vanderbilt, commander of the Mercenary Army, entrenched themselves in a new small keep near the Andris Bridge. They had an infirm woman in captivity. The keep was isolated, and it meant to be a chance that would not come twice to rescue her, the heir of Elara, Serene.
Vanderbilt was slain by the two warriors, and Serene was taken under the royal's care.
Adventurers encountered mass troops of Lizardmen and Mercenaries at Gohoran. They found a note left at a cottage in the village, and the note said; They keep coming. I'm tired of running. A REAL ERENES. Find me.
Andris had swerved toward the tyranny of Lancaster. Lancaster took his dictatorial power by ousting other senators. Senator Anderson also had been detained in jail. Massive Mercenary forces were being formed under Lancaster. This truth was told to officials of Mirith by Senator Morgans who had survived Lancaster's attempt on her life. She was taken into protective custody in Mirith.
Lancaster sent his troops to Mirith, and took a wizard captive. Mirith dispatched the force to rescue the captives out. After a long and gory battle, they succeeded to retrieve the wizard and Senator Anderson. Thus began the war.
