Interlude: The Mayor of Vonesmy

(Two and half days ago)

Guildmaster Andreas entered Mayor Laramie’s. Now the mayor himself, he’s a young dwarf or well young in dwarven years.

Mayor Laramie looked up from his endless mountain of paperwork, and smiled upon spotting the figure of Andreas.

”Ahh, Andreas, my good friend, its nice to see you here.” Laramie said as he greeted, Andreas. He stood up, walking over to him and offered him a handshake.

”Say, you rarely visit during work hours, is there perhaps something important that I should know?” Laramie asked.

Andreas returned the handshake, “Aye, I do, there’s a new dungeon that appeared near here. About a day of travel, two if one is traveling with a large group.”

Mayor Laramie was shocked at this revelation, so much so that he almost collapsed to the floor that was prevented by leaning on his desk, which resulted in his mountain collapsing.

”Truly? This isn’t some cruel joke? Laramie asked, still unsure.

Andreas nodded, “Yes truly.” Andreas responded, as he laid the palm of his hand flat on the desk, before a map of the local territory materialized on top of the desk, showing a pulsating red dot north of Vonesmy.

”This,” Andreas started, pointing to the red dot, “This is the new dungeon.”

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Laramie's eyes widened in astonishment. "This... this is wonderful news, Andreas," the dwarf stammered out.

However his astonishment was quickly replaced with resolve, “Quick Andreas, you must inform the Grand Council, I’ll gather a group of soldiers to secure the entrance and prevent the saboteurs that have been killing the country’s dungeons!”

“Right, I’ll be off to the City of Kurz!” Andreas said before leaving the office.

Once Andreas left, Laramie walked to the window on the left side of the room, which provided a nice view of Vonesmy.

Vonesmy itself is a city that used to be a trade hub, located strategically in the middle of the country, the city itself served as a connection for the eastern, and southern coastal cities, where goods would then travel westward to the capital.

But now, as a result of the Ergon and Laziran embargoes, very few trade occurs and Vonesmy suffered as a consequence. The once bustling streets lay silent, with very few citizens out and about.

However all is not doom and gloom, as despite the hardship, the denizens of the Union are determined to withstand any and all challenges imposed upon them, and to preserve the country’s independence.

Mayor Laramie gazed upon his city once more before returning to his desk, opening a drawer, taking out a blue crystal ball and placing it on his desk.

He tapped the crystal ball twice, and he waited. It didn’t take long for him to wait as the crystal ball began emitting a blue glow and a figure of a female wood elf wearing half-plate armor and a Morion helmet appeared shortly thereafter.

Laramie processed to show the map to the wood elf. ”Guard General Tira, Send a squad to guard the dungeon at this exact location, but make haste! The longer we wait the more time these bastards, whoever they are, have to shatter the Core!.” Laramie ordered.

”Aye, aye, sir! I’ll personally lead a squad to guard the dungeon entrance.” Tira said, before the blue glow died down.

The mayor could only pray that they weren’t too late, and that the dungeon is still there.
