Throne Room

---

You arrive in the Throne room, awaiting your orders. There is nobody else here, except the guard who told you that the king wanted to see you. A moment later, King Allenton and one of his advisors walks in through a side door. The advisor stands deferentially to the side of the room, while Allenton sits on his throne. His face has none if its characteristic good humor. Only a worried frown crosses it now. He looks up, as though he hadn't noticed your presense until now.
   'Ah, Sir Nichols. It is a sad occasion that I must ask you here today.' He says. This helps your morale very little. He continues his speech. 'Unfortunately, it is necessary. We have peace, and it has not been easy. Now for the first time in years, we may go to war.'
   You nod your understanding- he probably wants you to lead a batallion.
   'It will be no ordinary war....' He pauses momentarily. 'What do you know of the Onyx war?'

'I know it all too well'
'I regret that I know very little'
