Royal Herald

With unwavering determination, the knight approaches the caravan. His nearing presence reveals him as one of the esteemed knights from the Central Material Surveillance. The village, no stranger to occasional visitors and military assignments, has never before received such a visitation of great importance and high rank. Typically, such calls to action were transmitted through swift light cavalries, alerting the village to mobilize.
The mysterious rider guides his horse toward Ben's cart—the sorcerer and also the conductor of the village. As the rhythmic clash of the approaching knight catches the attention of the villagers, they peer out from their humble abodes, their gazes fixed upon the encounter unfolding between the two men. The knight calms his troubled horse, assuring the villagers there is no cause for fear or worry, though the village has been entrusted with a new and weighty assignment. In due time, these knight's messages will prove both a burden and, perhaps, a hidden blessing. The village is ordered to mobilize once again, bring ample opportunities for enriching trade and the exchange of new goods and gifts. This idea lifts the villagers' spirits, yet a somber undertone lingers in the depths of Ben's mind—a reminder of the old tale, when they were forced to leave their beloved home behind, a place they had grown attached to. The cycle of upheaval, forever hoping it would be the last.
