The new hall greeted Al'tria with a cool breeze. He was glad to be back in the desert away from the cold lands of the humans, he was also happy with the tax system the other lords had befitted (40%) and he knew exaclty what t spend it one.
He smiled deeply, he needed an engineer and he thought about asking the elves but what use do they have with what he needed, a stone wall to surround his city mounted with a weapon yet to be designed that could fire spears....a genius plan he thought but he needed someone to design...

He had spent his time since returning to the palace thinking, he had 14,000 gold recently counted to spend and he knew what he needed to exapnd the influence of the Gur'ai. The ocean, as the elves called it, seemed to expand up the coasts of the plains and all along the Gur'ai deserts. If he could Transport supplies, towns and cities could be erected up the coasts and troops transported north.
He immediatly wrote the instructions for the crafters to build a harbour, large enough for many large ships....and the orders to build three large ships with the capability to combat and tranport troops (Harbour 6000, 2 cruisers 7000...leaves me withh 1000 gold).
His men set about work imediatly, now to meet with the small one his guards had informed him about....

Denise had gotten her armed 'repaired' you could say it had been a nasty infection which had needed quite a while to heal, but it was healed, Altria had been worried about her it had been a while since he had done that, with a small smile on her face she waled inside the Hall of Governance..
"Altria..?"
She sayed she had to speak him, where was he? She had heard about resent invaders from the east.. from accros the sea? she wanted to go there, see who they where.. and also learn there language.. it has to be possible! not? only if Altair did let her

It had been almost a week since the troops had landed in Gur once more, now they were resting but for how much longer who knew after the news he had recieved. Not long after he returned he dispatched Predatiar scouts to observe the cities of Nerai and Quoa for any signs of movement and the news he recieved almost made him kill the messenger with his bear hands!
He knew his sister was to the north, but the messenger said she was being chased leading some 100 men and being chased by horsemen, who almost exactly matched the description of the ones that attacked the Gur'ai up north. He wasted little time, now completly taken by anger he decided the plains would finaly be in his debt after this, he was going to march an unstopable army to the north.....
As he stood before the clan Chiefs he spoke "One of our Royal kin is being hunted, hunted by the enemies of the plains and i plan to march a force to the north...but i need to know which of you follow?" Alern was the only one to rise, he was leader of Kokoa clan, an old enemy of his father but he still rose and said plainly "The Kokoa follow you!"
The next day Al'tria stood in full armour of hardened bone and leather armour, his buckler was on his back along with his three spears, his Hura at his waist as he stood before the force before him, Alern standing beside him. "Today we march simply to reclaim our people, and to destroy those that oppose us! Im sure a few of you remember your time up north and remember well the ruthlessness of these foolish people of the north, from Urgor!" The troops remained still but quite mutters could be heard from their ranks as Al'tria screamed "To battle and for Honour!"
With that the entire garrison of Gur and the surrounding areas, the palace Garrison, the Predatiar riders everything including the Kokoa clan marched north, almost 11,000 men marched north to meet their enemy at battle.....
