Hob-Goblin Territory

You rode down the long forest path road, glad head to toe in your gleaming steal armor, with a brilliant blue cape hanging from your shoulders. The only part of your armor that you'd left packed was your helmet. As a result, your long and curly hair streamed down to your back like a golden waterfall.

Shining in the sunlight, you're hardly stealthy. Though you don't have much to fear from an attack. None would dare approach a mighty knight of Gonoldia out in the open. The reputation of your order for physical prowess, skill and battle, and merciless efficiency would be well known to any intelligent race on the content.

Today you're on a mission to a nearby Gnomish kingdom to pay a visit to their King. The Gnomes are a proud people, and a messenger below knightly rank would be scoffed away. The only spot of danger is the fact that you have to cross through Hobgoblin territory to get their. Yet, any hob-goblin of intelligence knows not to try to fight a knight. Even if they somehow won, it would put their entire nation in Gondoldia's crosshairs. Better to squabble with neighboring Orc Tribes and kidnap defenseless villagers.

Altogether, it's a mission of little importance or urgency in the grand scheme of things, and without danger if you show even the slightest bit of sense. In short, it's dreadfully dull. Plenty of time for a girl to fantasize.
