“It’s the Khitans!”

Guttural screams from the city walls spurred panic in Sochia.

The Ink Sea Chief Inspector wanted to keep this matter a secret, but confidentiality wasn’t a thing in this era. Gossiping was commonplace, and often, these gossips tended to blow out of proportion after going through a couple of people.
