The Saga of the European King

The King has known and loved Axe Axewound for years, ever since they met on an adventure in Spain and deposed his evil brother. But actions have consequences and oaths aren’t just for declaring, and although there is never a good time to initiate a difficult conversation even the best of friends have to have them sometimes. Also the King’s son is stolen by bandits.
