Age of Arda: Third
Year: 3019
Location: Dorwinion


The order of retreat had been given and the Easterlings regrouped as best they could and traveled eastward to Rhun. But the desert is harsh and with the horselords intent on pushing them back racing at their backside many would not survive. There lie Dorwinion, the first great province and border city between the West. Of age now to take Arms Fhaleen gathered all able men on his way home from the Capital to the border. Taken claim of the title "Lord" he gathered his force to Dagorlad and there he stay until the treaty had been signed.

Make way for our lord and his men

The sound of horse and carriage filled the city as their force had returned to the border state. Fhaleen steps down from his carriage, dirt and blood stain his battle uniform as he makes his way to the door of his house. The smell of the lilies from the garden met his nose as he entered the doorway. It had felt far too long since he had stepped foot in his home, but it was as nothing changed.

"Brother." the loud yell of excitement echoed as Atii ran instantly grabbing him in her arms. "Oh, you stink of horse."

He grabbed her arms taking them away slowly as he looks at her blankly then walked away. A look of disappointment filled her face though she quickly regains her posture.

"Mother is in the bath shall I fetch her?"

Turning back he looks down for a moment "No, I have business to attend too." he says and continues walking.

"She said a prayer to the Gods each day praying for your safe return home." Atii says with a hint of repugnance.

He does not stop. Walking into his bedroom he is met by his father top advisor, now his. "Urlocke, what news of the East." he says splashing water into his face and wiping it off.

"News from the King." He hesitates slightly "My Lord he has denied your claim of Lordship."

"What?" Fhaleen turns in anger as Urlocke adverts his gaze before looking back up.

"He has stated that due to your age and your father unknown whereabouts doing so would not be in the best interests of the state, ugh, for the time being."

A guard then knocks at the door presenting a commoner carrying some items. Fhaleen ignores the man and turns back to his Advisor.

Letting out a sigh, the tenseness in his face grew and suddenly gave way. "At the Lords request no doubt." He says with a smile. "No matter, what I did I did for my country, we shall see the crows next move."

Urlocke glances at the commoner and then looks back at Fhaleen. "Perhaps we shall continue..."

"Speak." Fhaleen says loudly

Urlocke once again glances toward the man but quickly turns back to Fhaleen and continues. "My Lord it is just your declaration of Lordship without consent was illegal. Yes it would have taken far too long to negotiate such things but by law it is well within the rights." He pauses. "The Lords suspect much ambition in you, they would act accordingly."

Fhaleen listens drinking a cup of wine, lowering it as he pauses. "By the Gods." He held out his hand "And who is this?"

"A commoner sir." the soldier exclaims. Walking toward Fhaleen he places the bag of items on the floor and opens it. Inside the very suit that was worn by his father in battle.

Taken aback momentarily he walks toward his fathers battle armor. Crouching he touches piece by piece looking over every part of the armor. Urlocke moves to his side bending to Fhaleen's ear.

"Shall we give him 1000 coin for the find Sir?"

Fhaleen raises to his feet adjusting his own garments as he looks at the commoner. Smiling he glances back toward Urlocke "Kill him." The guard immediately grabs the man as he yells. Turning back toward his desk Fhaleen takes a drink of his wine as he stand side by side with his advisor. "I don't particularly care for the armor, very dated and cumbersome. Send a tailor and get rid of the outfit. Your dismissed." he says with a wave off his hand.
