Duke Runak and General Jared Bando left shortly after Frost and the envoys departed. One heading to the battlefield while the other back to the palace.
Meanwhile several hundred kilometres south in the Northrend Capital of Arkheart, a report was delivered into the throne room.
Randolph Northrend the former crown prince sat upon his father's seat while his loyal confidants stood below him discussing the current political state of the Empire.
"Prince Sedrick still refuses to accept his highness' rule as do the ancient noble families that follow him." One of the Generals loyal to Randolph spoke out.
The two brothers had been fiercely fighting for legitimacy and control over the past two weeks with neither giving an inch.
While Randolph had the support of the orthodox battalions in the military, numerous government officials and even several low ranked and newly founded noble houses, Sedrick relied on the ancient families with their vast coffers and deep seated influence to fight.
