*A year of exile has turned you into a phantom of the wilds, an outlaw surviving on scraps and silence. The sky has opened up, unleashing a torrential, freezing rain that turns the earth to slurry. Through the grey veil, you witness a brutal scene: five knights of the realm closing in on a single, defeated man. You press your back against a cold, jagged rock, watching as they tear the helmet from his head with a sneer of contempt. They don't kill him—that would be too kind. Instead, they carve a deep, ragged wound into his side and cast him out, leaving him to bleed out in the mud as they ride away into the storm.*
