Fumaya has lots of problems

The dragon-blooded lords and ladies have ruled Swynfaredia with cunning and mystical might, but old rivalries between the ruling houses fester. The mighty Swynfaredian dragon threatens to devour its own tail. Seeking to both protect her throne and cement her legacy in history, the queen steers the Great Dragon towards the land of Fumaya to assuage their hunger on foreign lands and riches.

The scrappy boot-shaped nation of Fumaya is not a helpless target. The Fumayan people, aka the Booters are hardy and brave. Unlike the heathen dragon-bloods who bicker with their local priests and priestesses, Fumaya's Nonagon stands firm with king and country. While far from perfectly unified, Fumaya's nobility is not as hamstrung by petty rivalries as their larger neighbors to the south.
  The Swynfaredian military is slow to mobilize, but the Booters have their own problems to deal with before they can hope to properly resist the incipient invasion. King Henryk is young and untested. He is clever and of noble heart, but his gluttonous and lecherous father him with an empty treasury, and his capital city of King's Lake is infested with criminal cartels.   Duke Vern Palbuc is even younger, not even of age and he has the widest border to defend of any of the king's vassals. The north of Fumaya is "defended" by Count Obrect Polnoc, aka "Obrect the Cub". A kind-hearted old man but one lacking in the strength and drive of his famous forebears, and now driven half-mad with grief from losing many loved ones as his people suffer from extortionist orcs raid from the Great Colassian Tundra. Further south, Fumaya's many forests hold monsters and threats beginning to stir with greater frequency.   These are just the obvious and well-known problems afflicting Fumaya.   There is no shortage of problems for heroic individuals to solve here.
