Even after Aeryon subdued the six tribes, the vast expanse between them persisted, requiring a day's ride to traverse.

Upon contemplation, the motives driving Aeryon actions unveiled themselves, casting shadows of apprehension upon Durka thoughts.
A heavy sigh escaped inwardly, a subtle manifestation of his growing unease.
It was Durka scout who first caught sight of the multitude, a horde of a thousand mounted warriors approaching their lands.
