The island turned out to be bigger than it seems. Royal messengers have arrived in Grey Vale

Those who climbed beyond the Ash Hills bring strange news. Beyond the edge of the familiar map stretch lands that appear on no elder's map — dozens of cities, thousands of villages, highways running off to the horizon. Somewhere out there, they say, stands a capital, and on its throne sits a king known in the Crossroads only by his coins. And the other day, messengers bearing the crown's seal passed along the Royal Highway — and after them there were more spears at the outposts than usual. Why the king needs troops on a peaceful island, the messengers do not say. Nor do they say who will lead the detachments if troops are needed. For now one thing is clear — soon the hero may have not only a sword, but also those who will follow him into battle.
listen to the village elders and burgomasters — they are the first to learn of royal affairs.
