Together the two confront the actions of their foes, and ponder the lives they now lead after their beloveds have been torn away from them.

Summary
A character study for one of my D&D characters in a modified Curse if Strahd campaign.
Judge, the hulking mass of animated steel plate, was in life known as Ser Hanfred Vel; a champion of the light and a paladin of glory. However, his light was marred by the lengths he went to save his beloved from a magical affliction; his choices doomed not only innocents, but set some of his own children down the same paths of darkness.
Barovia now serves as Judge's crucible; his final chance to prove himself worthy of the forgiveness of his goddess and all those who perished in his quest to save his love. But will he find the redemption he seeks, or will he falter after everything?
A chance encounter wirh a ghost of his past may hold the answer...
