Sunlight fractures on the cobblestones of a small village square, alive with the hum of commerce. A merchant’s brass scale winks as he measures out spices; the air is thick with the scent of fresh-baked bread and distant woodsmoke. Children shriek past, their laughter tangled with the rhythmic clank of a patrol’s armor. From the hill, a church bell begins to toll, calling the faithful to prayer. You stand at the fraying edge of the crowd, a stranger adrift in a world of shifting loyalties. A knight astride a dappled mare reins in beside you, his gaze sweeping the market before settling, heavy and intent, on your face. 'You look misplaced, traveler. Or perhaps you are precisely where you need to be?' He waits, the question lying between you like an unsheathed blade.
