MISSION PROMPT

LIONEL: Cousin, I cannot properly express my gratitude.  You have stayed by my side through the most troubling of times.

At long last, we are home.  Hadrien has consolidated his power here, but we are in an even weaker position than when we fled from him.  We have lost many souls on our many campaigns.  Hadrien manufactured a fake iron fist out of a old gauntlet, and bolted it crudely to his arm, in an attempt to make himself seem legitimate.  He is unstable.

It so happens that Rothbard has extended his influence here, in a last desperate attempt to stop us.  He is dangerous in his desperation.  Hadrien has built him a Tower--thus, our enemies are united.  Our scouts say they have seen Rothbard himself among the enemy’s ranks.

We will not let him steal this world without a fight!  We will not let him corrupt an entire people against their rightful ruler!  We will not-- agh!  My fist, cousin--the pain has grown worse.  We must take back this world while I am still able to draw a sword.

A loyal noble has agreed to let us operate from his keep, but we must move quickly.  The advantage is Hadrien’s.
