A ploy arises

( In the nothern barren lands , the summit of the eight Warlords )

Eight Warlords sat across a table made of animal and human bones as meat and wine dishes were littered half eaten on them.

Today was a monumental day for the council as a new force had joined amongst their ranks , the remnants of the phoenix clan and the leader of the 7 seas organization were present at the table.

The nothern barren lands followed the law of the jungle , as every major warlock controlled a few villages and attacked other villages to pillage their grain and steal their livestock.

There was nothing permanent in these parts as burning of an entire village was a yearly phenomenon for the people , as men died every other month fighting in petty fights.

There was no moral decency in these parts of the continent , as there did not exist a concept of education for children or family practices like marriage.
