So Greggor, reknown woodsman of the north western forests in the service of Lord Cizi, a wealthy lord backed by several mining syndicates, goes on a quest at the behest of his liege. Under the auspice of the Emperor as a liason to Cizi the Lord justicar Tristram and his retinue are led by greggor into the local Duke's lands to another small mining town, Szen.
It was hard and much to the Justicar's dismay no zombies could be found but we did indeed return the lord's son - albeit on his back. See, there was an assassination attempt on the life of young Nollis. It turned out to be his younger brother, Frodor, whom Greggor handedly beat to unconsciousness along with Frodor's man-at-arms. You would think folk would heed "stand down in the name of the Lord justicar!" Alas Tristram would no doubt claim this proves their guilt.
So many questions come to Greggor once his head clears and he no longer needs to nurse his cleft foot.
Nollis was preparing to unseat his father, taking sanctuary in the manor of the syndicate family Bronte. However the good Justicar met, in the field, a retinue of mercenaries bought by Nollis to be set against the elder Cizi. Frodor was handed over to his father instead of the Justicar dispensing imperial justice.
But wait, Greggor wonders. So Cizi spares the life of his treacherous son since the treachery benefitted him (Nollis was unconscious and at deaths door by the time the mercenaries arrived at the Bronte estate). But why would Frodor risk so much when he heard the request of the Justicar to retrieve Nollis? Nollis whispered to the justicar that his father was a criminal. What did he mean? What was Liya, Cizi's daughter's motives? And how did Cizi know of the attack on his mines that brought the Justicar here in the first place? Is there someone working both Nollis and Cizi?
Greggor shakes his head, now that it aches far worse than his lame foot. This is why he consorts with the four legged folk and avoids the "nobler" man.
