Shortly after lunch, Doran planned to continue training the soldiers and perhaps patrol around Goldenveil, so they could begin to tame the forest that surrounded them.
But just before resuming training, Ethan appeared at the barracks.
"My lord..." Doran knelt immediately, bowing his head.

It was said that he once cut the sun itself in half in the sky, giving his empire that name.
