Beginning log

To liberate the people of the Western Isles once and for all, Roy headed for Jutes, the Isles’ largest city. The Etrurian capital was located there. Lord Arcardo, the supervisor of the mining operation on the Isles, resided in Jutes. According to Elphin, Arcardo was of high birth, but he held no importance in the Etrurian court. Roy was still worried about Etruria’s response to his attacking the capital, but he had no choice if he was going to rescue the people.
