(@The Adamantine Order has around 900-1000 soldiers in their standing garrison. Each Kingdom would have 100-150 guards plus the 100 Adamantine Order garrison in its forts. Those 100-150 include all the guards in all the settlements in a kingdom. The Kingdoms don't have soldiers, they have guards. The soldiers are a part of the Adamantine Order, which is High Rock's standing army. In times of war the kingdoms' guards would be drafted into the AO to fight for High Rock.

@Humble: Yeah, what was that? You made no mention of Matthias being in league with Morgan and his master. Also there are Illusion spells that can do that, turn people against each other, but not turn one kind of vampires into another. And to turn all the prowlers against each other you'd need a master illusion mage.)

After a few minutes, Jovron calmed down.

"Good." Gerrick said. "This news is troubling, but it explains why your father didn't reply to my message." He scratched his chin. "Call my advisors, we need to discuss what our next move will be, since we can no longer count on reinforcements from the Adamantine Order."

Jovron nodded and headed off, while the Knight-Commander headed to the table in hi study which he held meetings at.

After dismissing the courier, Prince Rob ordered his guards to leave him and his mother alone in the throne room to talk. "Mother, what are we to do? Father is in prison! And what about Arielle, she must be a hostage."

"Yes. This is a grave situation indeed, my son. But you are the Prince, and the de facto ruler of Jehanna now. What do you think we must do?" She asked her son, confident that he knew what was right.

"Father was framed, that much is certain. I fear that he will be killed for treason if we do nothing. We must act." He said, getting up from the throne determinently.

"If we rise up against the High Queen and attempt to free your father we will be rebels." Callie pointed out.

"It doesn't matter. This arrest is an insult not only on father's honor but the honor of the Stentor family as a whole. I must call the vassals, father would not stand by while this injustice was going on." Rob told her, with fire and determination in his eyes.

Callie smiled while looking at her son. ''He has grown so much, he is a man now. A Stentor indeed, like his father.'' "Then do it son, raise your banner and march to the capital. Demand that your father and sister be freed, do the right thing."

"I will right to my vassals and our allies. I'm sure the Toreaus will stand by us, they have been close friends on our family for generations." Rob said. With that he left the throne room, heading to his father's study to write the letters calling his vassals and allies to aid in correcting this injustice.

Dowager Queen Ivara remained in Camlorn, she was certain that the Pelgrins were the allies she needed to overthrow her son. ''My husband's death will not go unavenged. His killer will not sit upon his throne for much longer, not while I still draw breath.'' she thought.
