Speaking with the twin brothers, you learn that Conner and Caden are the fourth and fifth respective sons of House Cedric, a minor Fallavon house with limited enough land to spare for those further down the line of inheritance. With scant prospects of advancement in their homeland, the two set off on Errantry together and within a year found themselves enlisted in the Royal Army. As conversation turns to more recent events, the recent health of the King being one concern and the new dynamic of a second infant son another, the topic of their sudden pilgrimage comes up. Although the who and why escape you, what is clear to you is that something compelled them to come here rather than them merely acting out a lifelong goal.

[i:lit]“We know of you.”[/i:lit] The other twin nods apologetically. [i:lit]“But we do not -know- you.”[/i:lit]
