Hubris. Temar II Frozenmaw had spent his entire life fighting it: His father, naming his son magnanimously after himself. His once-ally, chieftain Gluk Bordu, who dared to claim that a ritual combat gave him the rights to snatch the Ivory Throne. Interlopers from Cannor, laying claim to colonies the Grombari had staked out an age ago. The Corinites, yet another upstart Dookanson who claimed that the god's silence was proof of their divinity - the freeshooters had seen to them. Yet none was greater than Queen Anna Gerwick of of Gawed, a thorn in Temar's side since he was twenty. Supporting the Derannic expedition into Amadia, rallying a coalition, forcing Temar II to keep men on the continent when they were sorely needed elsewhere.
Yet Anna was reluctant to do more than posture. When Trollking Bogulr Hardrock crossed the Frozen Pass to pluck Serpentgrad from the corpse of Celmaldor, she was quick to posture men on the border - yet when Gnomish spies revealed the plot and Temar II issued a declaration of intent to protect? 'Twas back to a hundred more years of drilling. Always preparing for a war that would surely come... Next year. Maybe the year after that.
