"Men of Morñornia and the Lion! Today, this land is threatened. Today, the Xain of Kalhtrain seek to bring chaos and destruction upon us! Yet this will not prevail! Today, we ride forth with war! Let horse be bridled!"
Demiu draws his sword in an arc, and those of his host also rise.
"Our swords shall not be sheathed again, until the Xain are crushed beneath our hooves! Forth, to war!"
The Sun shines golden upon the ramparts, and glitters upon the armour of many knights.
One hundred Lion Knights and four hundred Morñornians stand arrayed in the courtyard, ready for battle. Twenty-five Lion Knights and fifty Morñornians remain, to defend the Lion Lands.
"Forth, Riders of the Lion! Forth, Riders of the North! The Xain are near at hand!"
Hooves clatter on the cobbles, as five hundred rides gallop forth.

225 minotaurs pass through the kingdom, heading southeast.
50 Morñornians emerge from the castle and give pursuit.
They follow them into the Dragon Kingdom. Once they get there, the Morñornians are met with by a Shadow Warrior who explains that they are there to help stop the Xains.

The Morñornians are pleased by this news, and accompany the Minotaurs.

A few of them are sent with the rest of the contingent to the castle, while the others stay behind.
A force of horsemen about 100 strong crosses north across the Lion Kingdom. They fly a banner bearing a black Unicorn. They ride towards the Castle with deliberate speed.

They would find the country deserted around them, villages and farms standing empty. Food, clothing and livestock has all been taken wherever the people of the Lion Kingdom have gone, presumably to the fortress.

The horsemen move on, picking through homes for provisions left behind in hurry. Eventually, they are within sight of the castle, and Lord Ulrich orders his men to ride towards the gate in two columns. They display banners and weapons but they do not appear hostile. At the head of the columns are Lady Rietta and Lord Ulrich and behind them ride Lord Eldarion Cyrill and Sir Alister Madel.
If the castle is empty, they ride in and take up in the keep. If not, they wait before the gates.
