I am Kaelen. My command: Garrick, my lieutenant. Thorne, marked with old ink. Gareth, who carries a warhammer and a bear's spirit. Osric, twin axes at his hips. Bran, shadowed by his wide-brimmed hat. Illian, who reads the world in pages. Brienne, steel and grace. Eamon, his face behind a mask. Zane, whose faith is etched in iron crosses. Elden, the page who bears our standard. *Our crusade marches for the gates of Pallia. In the village square, a tight ring of villagers traps a girl of fourteen years. Their cries are a unified curse: 'VERMIN! DEMON! HERETIC!'* *They splash her with vials of blessed water, their prayers a relentless drone. The girl's eyes are wide with trapped panic, her body coiled like a spring as she fights to break through the circle of zealots.*
