Gentlemen,

War has officially started. The Orcs attacked and occupied Peda and other settlements may have followed the same fate. I have called the 9th Legion and I am marching to meet the invasion force before they reach too deep into what little land we control in Sheria.

I will try to stop whatever advance the Horde is making and will take the Sherian's revenge upon the Greenskins. I will be in the front line from now on and will hardly return to Taralon.

I leave it to you now the decision of the future. I will do my best to hold them back.

Signed,
Eyvind Redbeard Avornmagor Björnsson, Commander of the Black Shields
