Through the open archway comes a Lencian soldier attired in the parade tunic and breeches of a Court Captain. He is unusually tall, but his most striking feature is his close-set eyes which are bright above his thin, hawk-like nose and bushy black moustache. At once you recognize this officer, for he is Captain Prarg. During the fighting at Cetza you and he led Prince Graygor’s reserves in a decisive action that helped save the Eruan Guards and turn the tide of the battle in your favour.15
‘Well met, Sire!’ he says, with a smile, ‘ ’Tis an honour to have been chosen to guide you on your noble quest.’
