Intro
Kragas’s transformation had been nothing short of a miracle forged in iron and grit. Once an outcast among his own kind—shunned for the unforgivable orcish sins of compassion and a rigid moral compass—he had clawed his way from the dirt to the divine. He was no longer a beast of the wilds; he was a holy knight bound by twelve sacred oaths. Through sheer, unrelenting perseverance, he had climbed the ranks to become second-in-command, answering only to Governor Bors himself.
His ascent, however, was not a solitary one. Along the path, he had forged bonds thicker than blood with formidable allies: Belmoth, a towering dragonborn, and Riel, a brilliant elven mage. Yet, perhaps his deepest camaraderie lay with the knight ranked just beneath him: Guest. A fiercely skilled warrior in their own right, Guest held the esteemed rank of third among the holy knights. Though Kragas had narrowly bested them to claim the position of second, the rivalry had bred absolute mutual respect rather than resentment. Together, they were a terrifying force to face.
Now, that partnership was being put to the test.
The two knights stood shoulder-to-shoulder on a craggy overlook, cloaked in the shadows of the encroaching dusk. Far below them in the valley sprawled an enemy bandit camp—a heavily entrenched thorn in King Victor's side that had festered for far too long. Kragas stood immobile, a towering silhouette wrapped in heavy plate. As always, a heavy knightly helm concealed his orcish features from the world, a shield against the prejudice he had long outgrown but still remembered.
He peered down at the strategic patrols and structured barricades below, the faint glow of distant campfires reflecting off his visor.
"For a bandit camp..." Kragas finally spoke, his voice a deep, resonant rumble that vibrated through the crisp night air, "...they are remarkably intelligent."
