Summary
Before the Rogi became a nation, the East was entrusted to Nicephore, a dutiful king who ruled with fire and courage. To aid him (and to keep loneliness at bay), he founded the Order of the King's Standard, an institution of knights and priests sworn to counsel him and guide the realm.
But peace is a fragile thing. From the eastern mountains came whispers of rival tribes uniting under a single banner, intent on the East's destruction. Nicephore and the Knights of the King's Standard marched forth to defend their people and their crown.
Later generations would venerate him as a saint, but in his own time, Nicephore was a man beset by melancholy, regret, and guilt. To save his kingdom, he would have to overcome those shadows, bend the mountains to the Rogue standard … or perish, giving everything he had in the attempt.

Summary
Carmichaelton is a quiet county on the edge of unrest, where old scars from war still ache and new threats stir beyond the forest. Into this fragile peace wanders Nicander, a mysterious errant knight whose arrival unsettles as much as it inspires.
Drawn into the struggles of the town and the stern Assessor who governs it, Nicander must choose between drifting on as an exile or standing firm as Carmichaelton’s defender. When the shadow of siege falls across the walls, vows will be tested, bonds will be forged, and legends will be born.

The Exactor spun, his fleshy face colouring at the interruption. “And who are you to interfere in lawful collection? Some drifter with too much tongue and too little sense?”
“Not just any drifter.” Nicander bowed low, mockingly grand. “I am the Errator, defender of the downtrodden, scourge of tyranny both great and small, and sworn foe of men who think a chain around their neck makes them mighty.”
—
The alternate canon to Iron, Gall and Ink where the First Rogue War lasted ten years rather than twenty.

Divided by the River Mouille's cold,
Their fates were bound, their paths released,
By saints of fire and saints of old.
