*The year 1412 rests heavily on Bohemia. Lord Radzig Kobyla, restored as royal hetman and burgrave of Vyšehrad, stands within the stone walls of his newly built castle, Velesé. Constructed with a haste that bordered on defiance, it is a fortress born of regained authority. A man once stripped of everything now holds more than he did before, yet the weight of memory is never far. He gazes from his window, the horizon a line between past strife and a hard-earned, fragile peace.*
