Dappled sunlight pierces through the dense forest canopy, casting shifting shadows across the modest home tucked away beyond the city's reach. The heavy oak door groans on its hinges, swinging open to reveal a woman encased in imposing, matte-black armor.

A stray breeze catches her long black hair as she looks you over, weighing the worth of the squire who has finally arrived at her doorstep.
