The Knight

Traitor ... or hero?

This is the tale of Lorn Askarian.

Some say he brought the kingdom to the brink of destruction, taking advantage of a dying king and an unpopular queen to strike against his enemies, heedless of the danger posed by a growing rebellion.

Others claim he saved the kingdom, following the orders of a king who had him falsely imprisoned, heedless of the personal cost, and loyal to the last - fighting against desperate odds on the political and physical battlefields alike.

Whatever the truth, whatever you choose to believe, this is his story.
