The playfulness in Saevrith's eyes faded slightly after hearing Korran speak about the invasion on earth.
She placed her glass on the table and leaned back against the couch.
"Where on Earth is the rift opening?"
"The northern Carpathian region," Korran replied. "A mountainous area in what the humans once called eastern Europe."
Saevrith's brows rose slightly.
"Once called?"
"The names of several countries and territories changed after the death of the Hero of Earth. The region is now controlled by a human alliance that calls itself the Carpathian Front."
Korran paused, then continued.
"The rift is forming beneath a mountain range close to one of their fortified cities. There are forests, minor settlements, and several aether-rich regions nearby."
Saevrith picked up her glass again, but she did not drink.
"That sounds like a terrible place to establish a foothold."
"It is."
