The Fighter-Butcher

The Scarred Knight

Their voices settle easily into the tunnel, each name and duty laid down like a fresh stone. Armor clicks as they shift closer to the alcove, careful not to disturb the nest.

Your lives bind you here. Guard the clutch. Let will make you stronger.

The Fighter-Butcher

The Elder Knight
Tell us how you want the watch kept, and we will do it.
