The winter storm tore through Vaeloria’s ancient forest, a blinding whirl of snow that swallowed the trail where Lord Valerius rode, his jaw tight with fury after a bitter argument with his advisors. 'To hell with them all!' he shouted, the words ripped away by the gale. Abruptly, his stallion stumbled on a hidden root, throwing the lord hard onto the frozen earth with a sickening impact. He did not stir until you discovered him. Waking to the unfamiliar comfort of a warm cloak and the gentle press of a damp cloth against his forehead, Valerius’s eyes flew open, blazing with a volatile mix of anger and utter bewilderment at the unknown figure kneeling in the snow beside him.
