[b][u]House Harvestar[/u][/b]

Lord Torak sat at his desk, reading over the daily reports. It was the part of the day he hated most - reading had not come easily to him, and to this day he still didn't enjoy it. But it was a necessary evil. The reports had been growing more and more troubling recently. Giants, as always, was Torak's chief concern. His lands had been plagued by giants for as long as anyone could remember, but it had been decades since the last time they came in any large numbers. His grandfather, the long deceased Lord Kedinn, had been Lord at the time a giant army had come east. The giants had punched their way through to the heart of his lands before Kedinn and his army stopped them and turned them back - but not before Kedinn and a thousand of his men had perished. The local town had been renamed Giants Bane in honour of the battle fought there. Torak's father never faced any large numbers of giants, but now it seemed Torak would. And there was also the troubling accounts that Princess Helen had been indited for treason, and had since fled. Torak had few dealings with the Overlord, but his lands did border the crownlands, so he always kept an eye on any developing situations. If Helen decided to flee north, she would soon pass into Harvestar lands. It wasn't something Torak could ignore. He called a servant and dictated orders to him while he wrote them down. The orders were to raise a force of 100 horsemen, half each from Kaldur and Icemark, to patrol the eastern border. 10 scouts were also raised, all from Westwatch, and these were to patrol the southern border through Westwatch and Goliath, in order to locate the Princess. They were ordered that if she was found, they were to treat the Princess with the honour and respect that a woman of her status deserves, and to be escorted to Kaldur.
