It was simply a rumour amongst the commoners of the Grey Plain. But it sounded true. The rumor roamed the land despite the attempt of the noble to hide it.
The rumor said that a Baron had risen up and betrayed Eldoria. It wasn't just a territory war. It was full on treason.
Lord Galland of the Grey Plain then moved all of his forces from every town of the Grey Plain back to the Grey Ward, his most fortified stronghold and also the best fortress in the North.
Then everyone knew the rumor was true.
They came in uncountable numbers. It wasn't just one House that attacked the Grey Plain. No one knew how many there were but most of the towns quickly fell while the coward Baron hid in his stronghold.
The Baron of Snowfell arrived at the Grey Ward. Everyone expected it would be a bloody battle. But he didn't attack. He just let his soldiers dine and wine in front of the gate, just a little bit out of reach of arrow and artillery range.
