130 Chapter XXVII: A Game of Generals [7]

Lady Frenda Ferndale of House Walruse, Baroness of the Ferndale Stronghold and Commandress to the chivalrous Order of the Raven Knights– an object of terror to the soldierly of Estveine and more so to warriors of the Norsmundi tribes, evident through her moniker that was bestowed by friends and foes alike– towered among men of weak bearing who acted in direct contrast to her precise military posture. A black armor as dark as the night itself, complimented by lines akin to the golden stitches that would adorn a royal cloak, paired with an armet with plumes dyed in azure, the same color as her cape on one side… all of these attributes attested to the identity of the knight in question, cementing her identity within the minds of the peasants who bore witness to her presence. Without a doubt, it was the dreaded Knight Reaper, the perpetrator of many a bloody massacre; bane to many a great warrior.
