Chapter 300

Count Dufas leaves after getting a promise from Cyrene to visit her Grandmother in the next few days, so she doesn't have to find everything out second-hand. 

King James has called a meeting of all available upper Nobles and ministers for the next day to discuss the state of the border regions. The patrolling forces are reporting far fewer sightings of Goblins and Gnolls, with no new reports of Niman Raiders. 

The last one is a surprise to most Upper Nobles, as their informants in Nyanko have said the same thing, no attempted breaches in days. Cain knows better. There have been a half dozen smaller raiding parties sent out, but with the advantage of Dark Phoenix to scout from the void, the Echoes have managed to intercept them all.
