Despair spread throughout the Golan Kingdom.
When news that the King was captured spread across the nation, Golan had already fallen into perilous danger.
No one could have predicted that the Dwarves would one day forge an invincible army.
The strength of the Dwarves not only shocked Golan but also stunned neighboring countries.
The Golan Kingdom often formed alliances through marriage with foreign kings and lords to maintain friendships, prosperity, and stability of the nation. But when Golan requested assistance from the neighboring Caslram Republic, they received a flat rejection.
The Caslram Republic was a commercial city-state republic, thriving on sea trade and connecting Dwarven nations with trade routes to the Danschel Empire. Initially, many members of the council advocated for sending aid, but upon hearing of the Golan King's capture, the merchants of the Republic chose to tear up the alliance.
