[IC] The Great Meeting

Afgurla Transportation center

The Captain looked at the ambassador with genuine surprise. But his answer showed no emotion.

"A thousand years ago Selene was expanding their empire and trying to unite the world under their tyranny. We had long been trade partners with the island nations nearby, including what would become your nation.

"Our nation had been content to simply ignore Selene, because we thought that they would never try and invade a continent. We paid dearly for that assumption. In à cowardly sneak attack the Selene navy surrounded Afgurla at night, blockading it from the mainland; and when we refused to surrender they burned the city to the ground killing tend of thousands of people.

"Those barbarians took control of the whole province by the end of summer. We had no choice but to burn the fields and retreat into the mountains. The demons we worship though gave their sadistic justice to those monsters, winter that year came in early. With no food, and the harbors frozen the fleet was left to starve. They exumed our dead, and desecrated our offerings to the demon lords. But they had their justice, that winter Selene lost almost all of her navy to the wrath of the demons who protect us. They froze to death and starved, slow and agonizing deaths that suited those barbaric people. By the time we finally ventured from the mountains, what little remained of the fleet had escaped from our shores. On that day we swore that our nation would never again be invaded, and we sealed our ports and sank our own trade ships."
