How could such a character casually allow other forces near his kingdom, unless they were beneficial to him, able to provide a continuous supply of food to his kingdom? The trolls of the Wailing Dwarf Kingdom were each stout and healthy, thanks in no small part to the gnomes of Querose Village.
The trolls of the Wailing Dwarf Kingdom had become a thing of the past, and since the gnomes of Querose Village did not interfere with the migrating force, Baron Gaven did not pry into their ambiguous relationship and instead accepted the gnomes' friendly overture.
