Kash had finnaly reached the border principality of Gucroba. This Principality, led by an Orcish prince, was the home to the third most-powerful Orcish tribe in the world. Upon entering the capital city of Gru'ko'shu, Kash was in awe at the Orc's attempt at beautiful architecture.
The buildings, though the majority made out fo straw and wood, were expertly planned and constructed. Families had civilized clothing; a first for orcs. Many of the Imperial buildings were constructed of Granite and Ivory. The palace itself was a spectacular sight with towering collumns and lush gardens.
All this wonderful architecture confused Kash. This was nothing like Orcs! Such beauty, wonder, and sophisticated art!
"Hey! Who goes there?!" A large orc strolled up to Kash, armed with a Pole-axe, and boasting shimmering armor. The seal upon the breast of the torso was that of Axe and Sword clashing, a phoenix holding both. "Answer me, mutt!"
"I am...Actio. From Izzlun. I am but a simple Wolf Demon passing through to the Northern gates."
The Orc laughed and shook his head. "Good sir, you'd have better luck hiking over the Dragon Talon Mountains. The pass is cluttered with feeling mutts like you. Our population of dogs has rose by the hundreds of thousands. Seems an enormous war, plague, and famine has struck the North after the fall of the United Northern Kingdoms."
Kashs eyes widened as the story unfolded. His closest of friends, Kurast, had ruled the Kingdom. Though he knew it collapsed, he had no idea that such disorder had struck there. Could this be the dawning of a new era...?
"Anyways, I'll have to demand your leaving of the Royal Grounds."
"Understood...Which way to the Northern Pass, my good Orc?"
"Head North. Stick to The Highroad constructed by Izzlun. You should reach it in no time. Also, watch out for Draconights. They've been plauging the lands ever since the collapse of the UNK."
With a nod, Kash turned and made his way to the Izzlun Highroad. He knew this route well, for he had commissioned it's construction. And what's this about plague? War? Famine? It sounded just like the situation in Izzlun, and in Aegora, south of Izzlun...Could this be the beginning of The Second Feudal Age..?
