Rrrrrf well, I'm certainly no expert, but I know a thing or two about the Second and Fourth Kingdoms!

[cattleya_lupus]

That is acceptable, I do not require expert information, any is an improvement. The Second and Fourth Kingdoms of where, exactly?

[huff_puff_wolf]

Out of the Nine Kingdoms, naturally! Near as I can tell, it's a different dimension from this one! Rrrrm, although most interestingly, this dimension seems to know a thing or two on the Kingdoms' histories!

[cattleya_lupus]

As I said, I am entirely out of my depths. What are the Nine Kingdoms?

... is there something wrong with your throat, sir?

[huff_puff_wolf]

Hrrrrm, awwwr...they're the world as I've always known it! The Nine Kingdoms make up one very large landmass! The Fourth Kingdom, one of the most powerful ones, borders all of the others! Rrf, although they certainly have their fair share of problems now. The Golden Age was almost two hundred years ago, and unfortunately, things around there have...degraded a bit since then.

Wrong? Cripes no, I'm feeling perfectly fine!

[cattleya_lupus]

Then why all the unwarranted grunting?

Degraded, you say. How so?

[huff_puff_wolf]

Unwarranted? I always talk this way!

Hrrrf, well...happy ever after just didn't last as long as was hoped! Corrupt monarchies, some terrible infighting in the upper classes, and trolls harassing folks outside of their own kingdom! Not at all

[cattleya_lupus]

Always? How unfortunate for you. Now, when you say "troll" you are in fact referring to creatures of the wilderness, probably with oversized noses and ears, who are known for harassing humans?

[huff_puff_wolf]

Unfortunate? Now why's that?

Ohhr hah, got that about right, yes! Certainly have those ugly mugs, although I'm certain they harass a whole lot more than just humans! Rrf, idiot things.

[cattleya_lupus]

Because it makes you sound either diseased or deranged, and I would like to assume that you are neither.

Have these troll made it to New York as you have?

[huff_puff_wolf]

Diseased? Deranged?! I am most certainly not either! Rrrrff, perfectly healthy and sane, thank you!

Not that I have seen, thankfully! Rrm, I believe I'm the only one here from the Nine Kingdoms.

[cattleya_lupus]

I admit I have my doubts, but very well. I will take you on your word on that.

And what were the conditions of your arrival?

[huff_puff_wolf]

Diseased? It's just normal growling!...

Conditions? Ahhhrrr, hrmm...well, I was attempting to...rather, I stumbled across a magic mirror! Traveling mirrors are very rare where I'm from. It looked like it was going to this world...but I must admit, it looked much better on the other side of the mirror.
