On this sea chart of the Mensa Strait, Roy drew a red circle around the port in Aden Bay.
Roy looked at the Half-Orc Saeed and asked him:
"Although the orcs have given up naval supremacy, will they really hand the land of the Mensa Plain over to the Gray Dwarves?"
Saeed was powerfully built, with clearly defined muscles across his upper body. He walked from the doorway to the sea chart and explained to Roy:
"They're not handing it over. They're lending it to them.
"Durag's Knee of the Gray Dwarves has descended into a chaotic war. Both the Orc Tribe and the Dwarven Kingdom have sent troops to reinforce Durag.
"They're worried that if the Dark Legion completely occupies Durag, the flames of war will spread to the Mensa Plain and the Dwarven Kingdom..."
Saeed picked up a pen and drew a line from Durag's Knee. The line extended all the way to Aden Bay, then connected to Kui Island before stretching southward to the eastern part of the Lost Sea. He continued:
"However, the situation at Durag isn't looking good.
"A large number of Gray Dwarves have become pessimistic. Their people were massacred by the Dark Legion at the beginning of the war.
"Later on, many Gray Dwarves lost the will to resist. They wanted to move their homes to the warmer south."
Saeed drew all the way to the lower edge of the sea chart and said to Roy:
"For that reason, the Gray Dwarves sent out a large number of Three-Masted Sailboats to search south along the West Coast of Elf Continent. They found Galuo Island in the Seven Realms Sea, and now many Gray Dwarves have migrated there."
"The Gray Dwarves remaining in Durag's Knee are now less than one-tenth of their total population.
