Challenge #04632-L248: Better Than Perfection

Madness! Two counties in Beruvan have risen against the most gracious and able king Nydon, declaring for an imposter prince who dares to claim a name similar to his Goose Cursed daughter. Worse still, a conniving elf and traitorous twin mages are with him. Nydon dispatches his most loyal troops, certain their leader (who always showed affection to the princess) will do what needs to be done. -- Deathshead419

The peasants were revolting in the district of Halhollow. How dare they! After everything Nydon did for them. He had kept their entire district under his exacting principals, and enforced them at sword point. All for the low, low price of their taxes.

Their neighbour, the district of Sunhill, was also revolting. They'd ridden the tax collectors out of the district on a rail, and were rallying with Halhollow under the banner of someone calling himself Prince Reginald.

There were reports of his twin mages and the traitor Elf in their number.
