>>5481430As you exit the palace and walk towards the gardens, you are greeted with an awe-inspiring view of the city of Dorn at the foot of the mountains.
You have never left your hometown, and now that almost everything is ready for you to march into the unknown, the metropolis and the world seem to expand under your feet.
"There you are." The embrace of a powerful arm takes you by surprise, making you scream, but not by much.
"Dad!" You shake your legs in irritation. He laughs as he lets go.
He is dressed in his armor, but instead of his sword he carries a chest under his arm. "How do you feel today?" He asks seriously.
"A little nervous, I can't believe this is happening." You explain to him.
He seems touched, and puts his hand on your shoulder. "It's the same for all of us, don't worry. Just remember you'll always have a home here. And don't forget your brothers, I'm sure they won't mind a visit if you stop by their citys."
"Yes, father." You mumble.
"Now lift your spirits. I have a gift for you, pick one." He says as he opens the chest.
Inside you can see a pair of very elaborate ancient-style gauntlets, a beautiful silver pendant, and a ring of a material you cannot identify.
>Gauntlets of Power.Heirloom of House Cross, forged from steel and reinforced with enchanted silver.
Gauntlets increase the strength of their wearer, allowing them to carry and hold twice as long as they could.
Does not increase resistant to physical attacks.
>Pendant of Protection.Heirloom passed down generation after generation from a lesser house, confiscated by your mother along with other items.
The wielder becomes more resistant to physical attacks, such that a direct hit from a sword blade will only cut through the wielder's skin.
It offers no benefits in wound healing.
> Ring of Breathing.A ring of power, its origin is unknown.
It allows the user to breathe in airless environments such as the bottom of a river, in addition to providing protection against cold and pressure.
The ring is useless if you can't breathe or your lungs don't work.
