What a surprise it is for King Namor and his sister, brothers and uncles when for the first time they step out of their castle. The streets are no longer lined with gold and fine stones. There are dusty and smelly. The Draves live along the depleted river. Enough water for small gardens where there is some light. That is only near the tax collector's quarters. There is much light and activity and our new travellers find a tax collector to invite them for a brew or two. Let's make it three or four. Shall I take you to the Drave's village for a few more.
Fun times are had by some. For at the same time, Barbaralba is made prisoner inside the Castle. There she finally sees the game. It was Zauqir who saw it in the first part. First book.
And so they finally come together near the end of this part. Not so much in the first book. And the little army sets out on their mission. Their first war directed back at the empire.
