2/1 Assault on Helms Valley

Very far to the north, in the capital of Reachlands, King Tinskaeth was standing by his balcony, watching the star-filled sky. He gazed upon the sky and searched for his daughters’ star. Princess Iysedin’s star was shinning brightly as ever. Despite her disappearance ten years ago, she was still alive and well, as her star is still shinning. He had known that the human that took her away was Touren. He did not stop them because he known in his heart that there were no way the people would accept the fact that the beautiful elven princess would fall in love with a human. The human race was at war with the elves since the beginning of time, each seeking to destroy each other and claim the superior race of Bander. However, the war had drag on for centuries. Here was a way to bring peace to the elves by the union of the human prince and an elven princess. The result was a fate that forced the couple to flee.

The same thing was on the mind of King Wincern, the leader of the Banderlands. He too thought that his son, Touren would bring peace to Bander with their marriage. However, this was not the case. The result was a frightful wedding that caused the doomed couple to flee for their lives.

As both leaders looked at the star-litted sky, they saw the stars of Touren and the star of Iysedin fall as shooting stars. Both rulers were worried as this could mean that both their children were dead.
