Knights of Tezoth

Guardian of the North

Taleya's warriors specialize in defense. Their primary task is to absorb the brunt of the attacks from the monsters of Regret. However, against humans, this strategy works far worse than against mindless monsters. The Guardians of the North serve their lord and their homeland. A heroic death in glory of Sordgard is more than to their liking.

I won't even ask about the file names.

Even Cartridge turned out to be a spy for Revnland

And I thought you wrote Silverdan there on purpose, as an act of meta-irony.

Silverdan's spy here is only Aldelion

Champion of Asteria

After the defeat and death of Lady Nosi, the warriors of Asteria had no choice but to serve a new lord. Sir Gingkink leads the remnants of his city's forces, and under his skilled command, the Asterian champions prepare day and night for the trials ahead. Though they are far from the guard of Lady Adata, these valiant warriors are more than capable of upholding the honor of Swordgard on the battlefield.

Fanatic Blade

To strengthen the small but mighty army of Swordgard, Lady Rezara Sanjore, with the permission of Lady Adata, established an elite unit of fanatic blades in Snowglade. It included the most skilled and devoted graduates of the "Sword of Snowglade" school. Charismatic and convinced of the greatness of the returned Deus, they not only use their martial prowess against the enemies of Swordgard but also inspire their comrades, serving as low-ranking field commanders. Renavan the Pious is truly mighty, and the fanatic blades will carry out any of his orders.

Is there any publishing house in Silverdane where I can bring my works? Or does the writer skill not work yet and I'll have to go to Kanamia, which is under Revnland's control, for that later?

You really don't respect me. I misspelled Swordgard's name twice...

Psst, Ples, does the income from Emcia's passive tick immediately, i.e., at the start of the turn?

-- Ah, brother knights! It gladdens me to see you in good health — and before you can object: anyone is healthy if they don't resemble a corpse. Illness right now is an unforgivable luxury; one must keep one's spirits up as long as the heart beats. I hope you will soon return to the ranks, -- in Ambrose's conviction, the hospital with its sharp smells, nervous doctors, and bustling nurses could not have a positive effect on the knightly spirit, and it was necessary to cheer these two up before they grew lazy, went soft, and even dared to entertain thoughts of self-pity. -- Do tell me of your misadventures!

No idea.

and how will it work out?

- Having something to equip the masses with is already good, but where can you find such things these days, unless you forge them yourself? Unless you can get your hands on battle trophies! And that means an opportunity will soon present itself, - Vargas mechanically stroked the hilt of Goldreaver with his thumb. - So, are you in? We're gathering the whole round table here. We've been idle in peace and quiet for too long; it's time to shake off the rust, or else we might just wither away completely.
