It was a three-day journey to the village that requested aid to defeat the bandits attacking them. During those three days, with a banner that had the Thorneharts' coat of arms, the journey had few to no problems. Of course, they also had a banner symbolizing Thornefang.
They finally reached the village near the southern border of Stellhart. The territory beyond this point was of Viscount Reval Drenwick.
There were three nobles who were direct neighbors of the Duke Vardon's Stellhart, two of whom were at the rank of Viscount and one who was a Marquess. Among them, Drenwick was widely regarded as the worst, not for any open treason, but because he simply didn't care. His people suffered while he entertained himself with wine, women, and the illusion of control. If there was a noble least likely to answer a call for help, it was he.
