Hedge Knight

For the powerless, desire is a curse.

Since he was a child, Helbram had only one wish: adventure. It was this dream that pushed him from the comforts of his village, determined to leave his mark in story and song.

Reality, however, is cruel.

Years of failure have smothered the flames of ambition, leaving embers wrapped in a shell of rusted plate and weathered mail. Some call him knight, but he knows it to be a false title. One he knew would never be true.

Yet still, Helbram walked, his feet carrying him into a land removed from those blessed by the gods, those guided by fate to greatness. It was here that his star would fade, returning to the nothing from which he came.

Or so he thought.

What should have been a simple mission to wipe out a band of bandits falls apart right at the outset, forcing the adventurer into a fight for his life alongside the stragglers of the failed expedition. In the chaos of their survival, something stirs within him.

And the fading flames of dead dreams spark anew.
