Cyart, Glenborough Province.
The Hovern family's hundreds of core members hid in a secluded mountain range, and the Hovern people had erected powerful barriers near the cave ahead of time, with all the family members waiting for Earl Hovern's successful ascend to the Monarch Level.
Should he reach the Monarch Level, the teetering Hovern family could continue to hold up.
To avoid being attacked, they had sought two powerful allies of low-level Monarch strength, one was "Axe of the Highland," the next head of the Hovern branch from Vallere, and the other was a tall, masked, and mysterious woman known as "Destruction Lady."
Earl Hovern did not choose to break through to Monarch at the family residence because it was too conspicuous, even though the barriers at the residence were stronger, but it still made for a huge target, sitting there waiting for trouble to come knocking.
