While most of Britain slept, Olivia Kanlocke prepared to leave her quarters. The hour was late, but the Commander of the Royal Guard was restless on this night - as she had been most nights in recent memory. With the Queen's husband still missing and rumors that Virtuebane was now traveling with his troops, the atmosphere in the castle and among the Guard was dark. The revelation that Ix Tab and Relvinian had begun their summoning only served to compound the grim mood. Still, she did not rise to her station by shaking in the face of adversity.
We will stand firm, she whispered to a dark, empty room.
With that she left for her office - she had orders to deliver.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The call has come for all regiments of the Guard and unattached guardsmen to mobilize immediately. Reports of unusually aggressive monster and animal attacks have begun to come in from across the realm. Orders will begin being dispensed outside of the castle starting at 5pm EST tomorrow, Friday the 28th. The Guard should maintain a heightened sense of readiness throughout the weekend. Reports will be expected from a ranking officer of each regiment.
[OOC: Consider this a warm-up for Sunday's "main event". There will be multiple situations that need to be handled, each designed for smaller groups.They will be spread out - not all start at 5pm.]
