A Warm Welcome

Objective
As the dragon breathed its last, the sky dimmed and the earth shook. Monsters grew in might. Are the duke and his capital safe?

Details
A foul wind blows across the land.... Make for the capital to see how it fares. The once-proud city is in a pitiable state. Travel to the castle and to Duke Edmun's side. Something is amiss with Duke Edmun. He insists on fighting you, so fight you must. You are branded a traitor, to be taken dead or alive. Evade your pursuers and flee Gran Soren.
