In the end, the it is decided, mostly on your urging, that the Royal Treasury will pay the drake a nominal sum for the damages. The drake takes the gold but hisses menacingly at you.
"And ass usual, my kind isss treated worsse because of your human ssuperiority beliefsss. I will take thiss to the Flameheartss and Arbitersss of my city. This is not the end of thiss, I sswear." He paces out of the throne room angrily, and Lord Gabrrel smooches your ring.
"I knew that our most benevolent King would not let the savage animal have its way." Smooch smooch, his fat lips go against the gold of your ring.
401 AEC, Late Autumn
Kingdoms of Satorias and Maestrimar have launched an invasion of your Kingdom!!
Citing your refusal to let the Albarran peoples go, King Xon III of Satorias, along with his newest buddy, King Jacobu of Maestrimar, have sent their armies and ships against you.
Attacking from the sea, Maestrimar has landed about a thousand of its own axemen and longbowmen on the westernmost coast, few days of march from the wealthy port of Caborra. Their fleets seems more concentrated on fetching troops rather than harassing your coastal settlements.
Attacking from the land, Satorias has sent approximately eight thousand troops, mostly macemen, javelineers and archers through the Vago forests at the southeastern border, and are approaching the local fortress of Lord Semy.
War council gathers hastily, and the Marshal and the Admiral both ask for instructions. The Admiral reports that he can't win against Maestrimar fleet in direct naval combat, and your Marshal is unsure of you can score victories against Satoriassi forces that double Kastorian numbers currently. In light of this, many of your courtiers are clamoring that you should send peace envoys right away.
