She does. “Warlord ir’Grainger sire, You summoned me and I have come.” The big man stands with his back to her. Even here, he wears his military armor. He turns and the glint of red is clear in his dark eyes. “Yes. You have. We have a problem. What can you tell me of Eldeen Reaches?” ZARANTYR 26, 1001 FAIRHAVEN, AUNDAIR Agent Dawn Star of the Royal Eyes checks that no one is following her.
