Lady Rowena D'Honaire called her advisors to her in the morning, asking
them what news they might bring. "We are left with a puzzle, men. What do we know? What are our options?" Her falconer spoke first. "We have an offer of aid from a Hespanish merchant prince. He claims to have information to offer should we deliver him one of the former pirates of Smuggler's Cove." "Tempting, but suspicious. What else?" Her footman stepped up to offer information. "Princess Belinda of Aquilaria has entreated us. Her sister, the Princess Astra, was last seen with Frederigo. She believes we have common cause." "Interesting, and worth pursuing. Is there anything more?" "House D'Honaire's cousins in the Independant Fiefdoms ask us to contribute men to their aid. They are beset by some sort of predator that they call the 'Wolf Queen'" "That is what the refugees from Smuggler's Cove called the beast that attacked them! How odd." "Indeed, what course of action should we take, milady?"
