The Imperial naval battalion was coming up on the island of Herne. They were headed for the island's main settlement, the port town of Last Stand. Before being taken by the Yokudans in the First Era, the island was ruled by Nedes. The last need chief of Herne, Haakon, and his men were slaughtered in the place where Last Stand would eventually be built by the Yokudans.

Caius was on the deck of the Katariah, standing next to Florius and the helmsman.

"Our reports claim that the Betony Raiders' last attack was a few kilometers north of Herne. A vessel belonging to the Lord of Betony was attacked on its way here." Florius reported.

"Any survivors?" Caius asked.

"The Orcs were vicious, but there was a survivor. Lord Baelborne's second son, Edgard, managed to escape by hiding in the wreckage of the ship as it sank." Florius replied.

"A Betony nobleman was onboard?" Caius asked. "Hmm...maybe the Orcs targetted the vessel specifically for that reason. They claim descent from the Stonetooth Orcs do they not? They probably hate the guts of the Baelbornes. The attack could've been for personal reasons."

Florius nodded. "Could be, we'll need to question Edgard to learn more of the attack."

"Bring us into Last Stand then, I wish to meet this nobleman." Caius ordered.

The helmsman nodded. "Right away, your majesty."
