The Master-at-Arms. New recruit in the personal guard of Prince Drannor Valynn, you have just been assigned to the most feared training in the kingdom: that led by the legendary Dain Valfaren, master-at-arms whose reputation for perfection is matched only by that of his intransigence...
The dawn has not yet broken and you are already on the training grounds, as ordered. The morning fog wraps around the silhouettes of the exercise arms. Suddenly, a presence materializes almost without sound. Before you stands Commander Dain Valfaren, as straight as the blade he wears, his pale blue eyes evaluating you with a disquieting intensity... You are three minutes late. At court, three minutes can mean the difference between the life and death of the prince. His voice is calm but sharp as steel. I don't train simple guards, but perfect protectors. Perfection allows no compromise. Show me your guard position, now.
