He was a man of action, and the administrative duties of running a castle had already started to bore him. He had expected to be better rewarded after his Victory at the Hill Giant Steading, but the loss of lives had sullied it in the eyes of the King, and Lord Faldur's ward, Donnell, had reaped the reward.In Caine's mind, the one consolation was that the old knight was no longer his immediate superior. Lord Faldur had retired, returning to his estate on the Keoland Coast, hoping that the sea air would settle his humors. Caine had little respect for Faldur, who was far too cautious and sentimental for the younger man's bold tactical ideals. But this left him with the task of managing their new appointment - Greyfalls Castle, from which the King expected his new favorites to achieve Great Things.Caine was skeptical. These "new favorites" were the newly knighted Sir Donnell, and a handful of strange (if powerful) Adventurers. The trouble they faced was a growing threat from the Crystalmist Mountains. Giants were on the move, raiding across the hills and vales and sacking towns and villages. Caine picked up the most recent report and saw that Stone Giants were among the invaders.This puzzled him. For the Adventurers had, ostensibly, made peace with those giants at the Steading. In the six weeks since, something had gone horribly wrong. It was time for the Adventurers to take up the Stone Giant Emissary's invitation to speak to his Thane. Time for them to re-earn the King's favor. Caine would not have admitted it aloud, but inwardly, he hoped that they would fail, and he would have a chance to face the stone giants himself.He called to the guard at the door, Caddick! Ask Sir Donnell if he will gather his company and meet me in the great hall at his earliest convenience."</blockquote>
