The city of Nekaheim was being hit with the full heat of the sun, green skins and humans walked about with their day to day business, slaves walked through the streets trying not to spill a drop of water in the buckets they carried, Hawkers tried to sell their wares, and guards took care of their business, but outside the city walls digging ditches was The God of War himself, his shirt, jewelry, and other belongings just a few feet away from him, a shovel in his hand, and sweat dripping off of him from his hard work digging with him was his adviser and long time friend Gor'lak they had been working for sometime before the old Orc chimed in "Targ, why do you insist on doing this type of work?" Targ paused and looked at him "Because the people need to see I'm no different from them." Gor'lak got a confused look on his face and shrugged letting Targ, return to his work.

When the two had finished they were walking back to the keep, when an squat green skinned goblin fell in next to the two "Cogwell." Targ said acknowledging the goblin she looked up at Targ, and launched off on an explanation of something she was inventing that Targ didn't understand nor did he want to understand. It took a little while for Targ and company to get to the keep but when they got there the other advisers were standing huddled together "M'lord welcome back." Yuriah said the usual amount of cheer to see him in her voice the young god just nodded and kept walking, the others falling in behind the two that were following him their footsteps echoing down the hallway until they made it to the war room.

The war room was a large chamber so the ogre Grotz could fit into it with, a large table in the middle of room and it's chairs being the only thing in it, Yukkah of the sand trolls reached into a satchel at his side pulling out a large scroll of paper with a map of the tribes holdings on it "So we are here to discuss the separatists right?" Grotz asked the group the group looked at the ogre Targ chuckled "Well it is the only problem we have right now." He told Grotz "Now..." He continued "We have pushed them out of Eagle Wing Canyon, but our scouts confirmed another section of them planning to strike here in a couple of days." Targ told the group. A mixture of emotions rolled over the councils face emotions like confusion over why they would strike the capital and relief knowing that they are desperate enough to try, Yukkah spoke up after Targ "I think we should strike them before they get here, if we can kill them off before we don't have to rebuild anything." Gor'lak was after the troll "But we are safe here and we have walls we can save man power by defending." The old orc told everyone sparking off an argument "It's going to be a long night." Targ muttered to himself cleaning sand and dirt out from under his finger nails.
