I'll do my best...my name is Bronson by the way...
All the trouble started about a month ago. The Darkspawn were trying to force their way through the mountain passes like they do every summer-they never get far, but this year they were much more aggressive, as if they were more afraid of what was behind them than us. We were taking alot of casualties, but we beat them back and retook our outposts, like we always do...we only learned a little too late, some had gotten through.
All of a sudden, things went from bad to worse. Our Queen-an honorary title, since all three cities rule in conjunction-was struck down while she was giving a speech-by her own brother! Or something pretending to be...it turned into an undead thing right before the crowd and said "We are everywhere. We can be anyone." Then it laughed, and vanished as it never existed. I'll tell you, people started to get scared after that. Night curfews were enforced, and we started carefully inspecting everyone-orders from up top said to be especially careful of Sommerlunders-after all, the Queens brother was one.
The Giak kept pressing. We might still have held them but...Veyar. Our sister city was lost overnight. Those who managed to escape said the city had been overrun with undead-they rose up out of the graves, burst from the crypts, and spread. Anyone who was bitten, became one. No one who's tried to go there has come back...we're sure the source of the undead is there, though. If anyone could find it, we might keep it from consuming the rest of my country.
After this, Githyos and Erthon closed their gates and began burning villages suspected of plague-some were infected, others not... The Army was sent here to keep order, but their has been some disagreement on that matter...some believe we should not have abandoned our posts to the Giak, other that we should destroy the source of the evil, though we have not found its exact position. General Billon believes the greatest threat comes from your Sommerlund-he intends to fight them tooth and nail. He gave us the order to fire on anyone trying to cross the border, even diplomats and Kai. Most of us don't like the orders, but we're too scared of what will happen to our country if we do not follow them. We're being forced to fight an enemy in the dark...tell me, Kai, what hope is there? My land burns from within...
