It was busy in on the grand shore of Éthur's shores that was once filled with dragons and traders, this port was what the Dargarthians used this port for trading in times of peace, now this will be a port for a journey to find allies and lands.

Dargar was walking to his flagship that he would be on along with the Dwarven king and Vampire count, they had different designs of their ships.

Dargar's ship had a dragon on the front of it the paint was blue and black.

Dorin's had a bright gold and ruby of a boar head.

And the vampire count had a bat wings with a red and black colour.

They each got on their flagships and started to set sail with the fleet, the crew of ships rowed hard as their strengths were able to, although for vampires the skeletons and summoned zombies were rowing for them.

On Dargar's ship the men started to take shifts on rowing, about 20 would row and 20 would rest while the rest checked the supplies and weapons, on the dwarves ship they would be careering the same equipment except they carried the supplies for a siege weapons catapult, ballista and scorpions.

The vampires carried equipment for studying what they may come across, animals, plants and environments they might want to study and learn.

On Dargar's ship the king was sleeping until he was shaken awake, he opened his eyes and saw the commander of the royal guard, "greetings commander what brings you here?" he yawns and gets up and walks to get his armour on "we have landed on the designated location and we begin getting supplies off of the boats, the creatures we have brought are being used to carry our supplies and materials for building the fort and defenses for the fort!" the commander responded

Dargar nodded and grabbed the sheath and attached it to his belt, he got up and walked out and jumped on the beach and saw his and Dorin's warriors along with skeletons and zombies packing up and grabbing supplies they brought with them and loaded them on the beasts who were quadrupedal and scaly they were the mules of the dargarthians gifts from the king of dragons, Dargar saw the skeletons and zombies moving large crates of what seems to be supplies of blood, chemicals and dark matter for magic, "that's a bad idea on their part it will be a beacon for chaos to go to" he walks to the leader of the vampiric navy Saline bloodtooth he approaches her "you know chaos will be attracted to that dark magic you will try to make, further more why blood?" she jumped a bit and sighed and said to him "orders from the count that we need to see what creatures we can bring back from the dead. Sorry." He sighed and said to her "tell the count that I am leading this expedition force and no blood or dark magic we play this by the books, summons and other spells only no resection, understood?" he asked with authority

Saline nodded and ran to a vampiric warlock and told him to write to the count about the message Dargar said, he sighed and looked and saw the dwarves with wagons and carts full of supplies and armour and weapons Dorin was ordering his troops to wait for the others to be ready and to move out.

Dargar looked at the leaders and called them over "Dorin! Saline come here!" they did, they stood in front of him, Dorin resting his hands on the handle of his war hammer and Saline with hands behind her back "are we ready?" they nodded "give the order we're marching!"

"DWARVES MOVE OUT!!"

"VAMPIRES, SKELETONS AND ZOMBIES MARCH!!" saline and Dorin yelled

The force moved out with banners raised low to avoid detection and talking silenced so they don't lose the element of surprise, they marched the feet echoing through the beach and plains, Dargar in the front with his bodyguard, Dorin in the middle, and Saline in the back each force about 20,000 each in total about 60,000 however they are trying to keep it low and quiet, unfortunately they are being watched.
