<span class="mu-r">"This kind of accuracy, I'm not used to seeing it from morta- humans, I mean... that's what I've heard!"</span> you comment, having to deal with yet another soldier dying from many arrows bristling precisely from his body.
<span class="mu-s">"It's the damned tall ones, too cowardly to fight us so they stand back and let arrows fly."</span> the injured man's commanding knight grumbles.
<span class="mu-b">"...elves, my lady."</span> Sir Tyne further explains.
The particular challenge House Swifthawk faces, is from the northmen and their elven masters. The notorious traitor humans, hated by all others, it was the northmen who first discovered this "new world" for which the knowledge of came to spread through the old. Rather than help their fellow humans however, the northmen helped the race of elves (who are poor seafarers) and transported them to this new homeland, in exchange for a subservient role. Now they act as the naval force for the elves, and raid up and down along the coast as well as acting as muscle in the land conflict. Some few among the northerners, their "sons of the storm" of fearsome power, make a formidable frontline followed by ranks of elven archers.
Such a formidable enemy, it's no wonder you are so busy with trying to save people from violent deaths by the dangerous foe.
