Knights of Tezoth

First, new military discoveries, and now reinforcements to the ranks of Silverdawn's warriors. A perfectly logical step, given the now crystal-clear trajectory. But now, it seemed, the time for active action had come.

Greeting her lord as etiquette demanded, she turned her gaze to the stranger who had addressed her.

— A pleasure to meet you, Sir Noxis. Your speech is well-delivered, and your bearing reveals the posture of an experienced warrior. I have no doubt your talents will serve Silverdawn well.

— I confess, my lady, I am here primarily out of self-interest — for me and my precious wife, the Surface proved unfamiliar and full of indescribable horrors, leaving us no choice but to turn to our acquaintance Lord Cartridge for help. Now it falls to me to contribute to the defense of our new home's interests.

— I have heard how different life in Izkazan is from ours, so I can understand your surprise and unfamiliarity. Moreover, these are volatile times, and the way of life in other regions of Tezoth may change drastically in the coming months. But there is nothing shameful in your self-interest, Sir Noxis. Rarely does an outsider take up arms to defend a land that seems alien to them without additional reasons. And your motivator is among the purest and most noble. What can I say, it's no secret, but I confess to you that I too was once led to Silverdawn by self-interest. I opposed the monsters of Regret not out of some lofty feelings or a desire to protect those dear to me, but for the clinking coin. My sword served, first and foremost, only to secure my livelihood. But time passed. And with it, Silverdawn as a whole and Lamento in particular became my new home. Along with that, self-interest gave way to a desire to protect those who were once strangers but became my friends. A desire to defend the way of life in these lands, which had grown so close to me. And so I became what you see before you now. Not a mercenary fighting for herself, but a knight standing guard over Silverdawn. I hope these lands will also appeal to you and your wife.
