"Something must be done," King Daelden said, pounding his fist against the huge wooden table around which the monarchs of the five kingdoms sat, "we can't allow Erion to get away with this."
"I agree with Daelden," Queen Flosenna said, "my scouts report that the Dorithians have noticed the barrier go down and are massing. We need the gems back as soon as possible."
"We're doomed," wailed the young King Auttan, who had only recently taken the throne after his parents untimely death.
"Pull yourself together," Flosenna said. Malernas, her kindom, was the one closest to the western mountains, "we're not yet doomed. Though the Erion scum have stolen our gems, the barrier hasn't gone up over their kingdom just yet."
"We can't attack them Flosenna," Queen Edomari said, "we need all our forces for when the Dorithians attack"
"I don't recall saying anything like that," Flosenna said haughtily. "What I propose is that we send a small group of our best to go and retrieve the gems. It won't really weaken our forces and they'll be small enough to slip into and around Erion much easier."
"What I'd like to know," Queen Shaetis, the strongest mage amongst them, "is how they managed to get through the barrier and all the wards around the tower to get to the gems in the first place. I checked the wards myself after the barrier fell, they were still intact."
-----
100 years ago the Dorithian Empire began trying to invade the kingdoms of the Undukthar valley. Until that point, the Olvadon mountain ranges had provided sufficient protection for the growing kingdoms, though they fought amongst themselves often enough, but the Dorithians began coming through the mountains and raiding.
Even as word of a huge Dorithian army coming to attempt a complete take over of the valley became known the kingdoms could not stop their fighting. One day a powerful mage named Amitrias came forward with three great gems that blazed with power. He spoke to the kings and queens of all 5 kingdoms and told them that as long as there was peace in the valley, the gems would cover all the land between the two mountain ranges in a barrier so that no harm could come to them.
The gems were raised up in a tall tower at the very centre of the valley, on ground that was declared to be neutral, and as soon as the armies of the kingdoms laid down their weapons a magical barrier sprang into place and the Dorithians could not pass it.
For 100 years that has been true and there has been peace and prosperity in the Undukthar valley. Until now.
On the other side of the Olvadon mountain ranges, there was the kingdom of Eulion. With the Undukthar valley between Eulion and the Dorithian Empire, nobody was unduly worried about being attacked by the Dorithians. Once the barrier went up that changed. They could no longer trade with the kingdoms in the valley since nobody could cross the barrier. Combine that with an infrequent and often bad growing season, that put the people of Eulion in a very bad position.
This was only compounded when the Dorithians found that the barrier which stopped them entering the valley of Undukthar did not stop them going around it, where they found the kingdom of Eulion. They have been attacking sporadically for the past 20 years.
The Eulions have had three very successful growing seasons in a row and, while exploring southwards, have discovered a series of mountains rich in various metals and gems. But the Dorithians are massing and planning to take Eulion completely.
Somehow, some way, the Eulions managed to sneak thieves through the barrier and break the power of the gems, stealing them away to Eulion, where they hope that the gems will protect them and leave the kingdoms of the Undukthar open to Dorithian attack.
-----
The kingdoms of the Undukthar want their gems back before the Dorithians invade. Since the barriers have not yet gone up around Eulion and they have prepare all their forces for an attack by the Dorithians, they are sending a small group of their best and brightest from all 5 kingdoms to recover the gems and return them as quickly as possible.

Name: Sir Rickar of Bolorcius
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Country: Malernas
Occupation: Soldier, Knight, Military Advisor
Description: Rickar is 6'4 and solidly built, with well defined muscles created through twelve years of near continuous training and use as a fighting machine. His hair is dark, though whether it's brown or black he doesn't really care, and kept cropped very short simply because it's much easier. He's pretty handsome, or at least his wife thinks so and that's all that matters to him, although he does have a few scars from various incidents. His eyes are dark blue-grey and framed by almost girlish eyelashes, which got him more than a bit of teasing. Mostly though he's rather ordinary, he doesn't typically stand out from the crowd unless he's wearing his armour or people with a military bearing are deliberately being looked for. He also seriously underplays his fighting skills unless he's working or some idiot threatens his wife or children.
