Jack turned to see a dwarf. The dwarf announces himself as Thorgrim and stick out his hand. Jack returned a firm handshake and smirked. "Bloody Maverous? Is that what you all call me? No matter. I heard Tharpus was going through some 'technological' difficulties. Something about their cannons." Just then, several representatives from the other kingdoms entered. Paladins and elves filled the room along with several humans. Jack looked at the banners they carried. "So all we are doing is waiting on-" his speech was cut off from a scratchy and horrid voice. "Well isn't this a nice reunion." Jack turned to see a strange and cloaked figure the figure was alone and sat down. "I'm from what you call the forbidden kingdom." His voice left a cold chill in the air. A distrusting feeling filled Jack. Jack did not lift his sword but as a veteran, he knew when something was up and he didn't like the feeling. Nonetheless Jack continued. "Welcome to the annual kingdom conference. I'm glad all of you could make it. The forbidden kingdom has joined is today. Although we don't really have familiarity with them, they are still here. We have to listen whether we want to or not."
