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.
