Chapter 0: The Sylvan Key
Lord Brightblade, a Knight of the Rose, was in charge of the trade expedition from Solamnia to Khur. It had been a long arduous journey. But you had finally arrived in Pashin.
With Lord Brightblade traveled three other knights, though none of them wore the colors or markings of Knights of Solamnia, as Pashin was located in territory controlled by the Knights of Takhisis, the enemy of the Solamnics. But the people of Khur also had the best horses in Ansalon and the King wanted the best. No matter who was occupying the territory.
Attending the four knights were four squires, one of them the newly appointed Marcus Valarian, who was one of the King’s own.
With them traveled five others, none of them part of the Solamnic Orders, but all yet with the express permission of the King.
Digorye, the half elf actor.
Gabriel, the big warrior.
Grov, the kender. And to many that was all one ever cared to know. Kender, stay away! But the King wasn’t one of them. There were many Kender coming and going through Dragonword Keep, though the King never seemed to lose anything he couldn’t be without.
Julian, a weaver of strange magics.
Gina, one of the King’s granddaughters.
And while the three cousins, Digorye, Gabriel, and Julian all had been asked to come to Dragonword Keep, by message delivered by a kender, all six of them had something in common. They were all the descendants of the Godsbringers, who decades ago had ended centuries of silence by returning the gods of Good and Neutrality back to Krynn. And this was not the first time the six of them had met.
In many eyes they were the greatest heroes ever.
But Destiny would change all that.
Having arrived in Pashin, the knights left the squires to their duties, for they had not come empty handed. Pashin was known for its horse market, but other things changed hands here too. And the knights had brought things to sell.
And while the squires unloaded all their stuff and carried it into the rooms Lord Brightblade had ordered one of the younger knights to arrange for them, the other younger knight offered to bring Gina’s stuff to her room himself. And Gina, pleasantly, but uncommitedly agreed.
Having gotten all that out of the way, the six of them, to the young knights chagrin, left to explore the town together, leaving the knights and the other squires to their own devices.
