>>5187874>>5187867>>5187792>>5187706>>5187703>>5187686You began your long service in the northern territories, home of long and grueling campaigns against the savage Clansmen of Ard Negh. The northern duchies of Althimura were said by the soft southern Lords to much resemble their hated enemies from the clan lands. Its an accusation you resemble, with your preference for a Ard Neghian hand and a half blade and avoidance of cosmopolitan Imperial fashion in favor of the Tartan shared by both the Northern nobility and the savage Clans themselves. Your young life saw much combat, but little in the way of what the peacocks of the capitol Althimur would name refinement. That is not to say you lacked cunning, and this was what drew the attention of the then Heir: Alkaign.
Travelling incognito with his closest knight and friends, the Heir was waylaid by Neghian raiders who had crossed border earlier that week. At the critical moment your band rode in, slaughtering the savages before they could overrun their prey.
His men thanked you profusely, but Alkaign had your measure. "Well met, sir, but you were following us for so long, why wait to help?" Momentarily flustered, you maintain your composure and explain the stratagem. "It's risky, but this way we got them all, because they were committed."
To your shock, he wasn't angry, and instead offered a feast of thanks to your band and yourself. Ever one to seek out new talent, he revealed himself to you that night, and you entered his service soon after. As his retainer he valued both your battle skill and sound strategic mind. The final forms were filed later upon return to Althimur. You stared at the page for some time. You were actually a good hand at your letters, but you felt the weight of the document you were to sign.
