The first part of my plan has been accomplished: I managed to create my own house. I was no longer just a commoner from a distant kingdom, but a full-fledged citizen of the Empire, head of House Greymore. And as the head of a house, I had new responsibilities. I must protect the Empire from threats, both external and internal. I suppose it made sense to start with the Cursed Lands--I would have to stop their spread. The mistake made sixty years ago must be corrected once and for all, despite the fierce opposition of my new enemies.
