The death of the King of Tamriel and the Crown Prince's succession to the throne were public knowledge.
In the years since the truce between Oduin and Tricia, trade had resumed between them.
So, the news quickly spread into the Oduin Kingdom, and one of the first to hear it was Garrett at Red Pine Castle.
After all, the Kingdom's spies stationed there always passed firsthand intelligence to him.
'This is my chance!'
Garrett's heart pounded with excitement. He had already spent the last few days making initial preparations, just waiting for a reason to initiate a war.
He never expected the enemy to hand him such a perfect justification on a silver platter.
After all, the death of a king and the accession of a new one often ushered in a period of instability, making the border the most likely place for war to erupt.
