Starting with killing three Sun Warriors and getting one step closer to finding my mole.I release the arrow, but I don’t watch the elega
OwenAfter Tresalia has enthusiastically agreed to join the war efforts against the Sun Warriors, I head northwest toward the outer border between Tresalia and Quartane. It’s not particularly hard to convince anyone to go to war against the humans, what with the continued werewolf killings.That and
Then again, it would have been disastrous for the kingdom if I ended up with a human, and the daughter of the most fearsome Sun Warrior our people have ever known at that. I would have been blinded by my love for Amelia and never understood how terrible humans could be.I would have been wholly unpr
