[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 8] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Da Vinci So that part we were seeing from Oxford must've only been the back of the castle. [k] @Da Vinci I thought it looked more like a wall than a castle, but now it looks more properly royal. [k] @Da Vinci It's got one urban area around the main gate, and another one inside the ramparts. [k] @Da Vinci I'm guessing that's to separate the general populace from the upper crust? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 11] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Senji Muramasa ...Don't let the gate fool you. The side facing the pit is actually the castle's front.

[k] @Senji Muramasa There's a magecraft barrier around the front of the castle[line 2]the side facing the pit. [k] @Senji Muramasa If you ever fall in there yourself, you'll see there's a ton of gunports all along Camelot's walls. [k] @Senji Muramasa And you don't usually put cannons behind a castle, right? So we can be pretty sure the side facing the pit's the front.

[k] @Tam Lin Gawain Can't you see for yourself?[sr]That's Cnoc na Riabh's army up north. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 10] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altria Cnoc na Riabh?

[k] @Da Vinci Try turning the dial on the side. It's set to five kilometers right now... [k] [charaMoveScale O 1.1 1.0] @Da Vinci ...but if you crank it to the fourth notch, you can set it to twenty kilometers. [k] @Da Vinci There, see them?[sr]There's a ton of faeries gathered in those plains. [k] @Da Vinci That must be the northern army of that other queen we've been hearing so much about: Cnoc na Riabh of the King Clan. [k] @Altria THAT'S her army!?[sr]It's not just Fang and Earth clan faeries... [k] @Altria There are also lots of soldiers with masks![sr]Are those giants!? There are giants there! [k] @Tam Lin Gawain That's right. Cnoc na Riabh's rule bestows power and wealth upon any who swear fealty to her. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain It's the opposite of Gloucester and Murian. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain However, that effect only works when Cnoc na Riabh herself is nearby. [k] @Da Vinci I see. So if she wants her troops to be effective, she can't be far from them. [k] @Da Vinci Go on, [%1], try looking a little farther ahead. [k] @Da Vinci See that huge carriage?[sr]The one that kind of looks like a small fortress? [k] @Da Vinci There's a faerie standing on top of it looking down at us from up there. [k] @Da Vinci And even though this is your first time seeing her, I think you'll agree that there's no mistaking who this northern queen is. [k] ?1:Hm? Let me see... ?!

You mean there's a faerie just like her in your world, too? [k] @Tam Lin Gawain ...Wait. Why is she staring at you instead of me? [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Did you do something to upset her, [%1]? [k] [branch _branchEnd2] [label _Female2] @Da Vinci Right? She looks just like Medb, doesn't she? Her taste in clothes is a little[line 2]okay, a lot different, though. [k] @Da Vinci ...Huh, that's weird. She's staring straight at Altria... [k] @Da Vinci No, wait. It's more like she's...looking down at her? Mad at her? She definitely looks ticked off... [k] [branch _branchEnd2] [label _branchEnd2] @Habetrot Twenty kilometers away or not, I can't believe she brought her troops all the way out here. [k] @Habetrot Isn't this obviously a hostile act towards Queen Morgan? [k] @Tam Lin Gawain ...Cnoc na Riabh and her forces are still just within her territory. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain She claims she's only running military exercises in preparation for the great calamity. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Ten days ago, she was conducting those “exercises” forty kilometers away. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Now that Sheffield has fallen, she's closed the distance and come further down south. [k] @Senji Muramasa She must have twenty[line 2]no, thirty thousand troops there. That's not just a threat. It's preparation for all-out war. [k] @Senji Muramasa How the hell does she keep them all fed?[sr]...Oh, right. Faeries don't need to eat. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain No, we don't. Unlike humans. That's one of Cnoc na Riabh's army's defining characteristics. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain She despises humans, and won't even use them in combat against mors. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain She envisions a Britain run by and for faeries alone, with her as its sole monarch.

[charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Tam Lin Gawain That said, she won't be sending her troops any further. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain She has no definitive reason to challenge the high queen, nor much chance of success if she were to try. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain The northern faeries have been incited to rebellion against the high queen several times before... [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Each time, they find themselves retreating north with their tails tucked firmly between their legs. This time will be no different. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain ...All right, that's enough idle chatter. Let's go. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain We're about to pass through the main gate. From now on, I suggest you remain sharper than ever.

[k] @Habetrot I've heard stories about it, but this is way beyond what I was expecting. [k] @Habetrot No wonder they're not worried about Cnoc na Riabh's army out there. It has to be way beneath their notice. [k] @Habetrot Trying to take Morgan on now... Someone would have to be crazy to do it. [k] @Habetrot I guess Boggart must've never set foot here before.[sr]If he had, he'd never have thought to rebel...

You guys will have to stay here and wait for us. [k] @Da Vinci Don't worry. You've seen how well-ordered the queen's army is over these last two days.
