General Sunder stood rigid in her spot, her uniform was freshly cleaned and ironed, her armor was polished and buffed. She looked her absolute best, her sword strapped to her belt with oiled and shining leather. She had been told by the queen that her new second in command would be meeting her soon. The queen she remembered had a look of abject discomfort as she said this. Sunder only assumed because the Horde had pulled some other terror strategy, if so though, why wasn't she made aware? Sunder pondered this when the doors swung open and Sunder stood more rigidly, but slackened once she saw her "second." Heavy armored boots thumped on marble, skulls hung from grim rope and various scrolls and relics clinked softly as the giant moved. A massive sword was hung loosely in the giant's hand and a skull helm stared at her with abject disdain. "Greetings General, I look forward to assisting you in your command." Sunder took a few seconds to compose herself, she had been spoken to telepathically before. "I look forward to it too. Where did you say you were from?"
Innoak paused, he had no idea if these people had any concept of worlds beyond theirs. Of course, what could it be they thought the horde was? Innoak decided to not create rifts in their feeble conceptions yet. "I-I am from the north?" Innoak was surprised at the hesitation in his voice, correcting it immediately. "I come from a rather hostile land in the north, one of shadow and dark. Absent of life save for my hardy people, this armor was created by our greatest engineers when I was sent off to explore. I found myself here, and now I fight the Horde. For the salvation of Etheria." Innoak chuckled quietly, he wondered what would happen if the rebels and Etherians found out about the sheer might of the Imperium. Maybe they would fall to their knees and weep, or simply hide away and await their eventual death. Innoak's musings were interrupted as the General nodded and began to stride away. "I'll show you our current holdings, as well as your quarters. I don't know what you northerners would understand about war but I welcome all perspectives."
