~Year 994
High King Turace Valder declares his intention to tarry in Fort Ardenurve indefinitely.
This results in a whirlwind of rumours circulating around the royal city of a discord brewing between the High King and the Lord of Ardenurve.
~The Royal Archives, History of Vallarta.
The High King sat in his study, reviewing the reports sent in by Lord Rina.
As the High King flipped through the records and perused through scroll after scroll, he could not help commending the efficiency with which Lord Rina Arden executed his duties.
"It is no wonder the other nine great Fortresses can never compare to the excellence of Ardenurve, from guard placement to economical stability and trade routes, everything is well monitored and planned out in detail to achieve the best results."
