Rites

Dance of Swords

Of course, the ring doesn't kill you – how could it? If this ends everything, the ruler's expectations and desires remain unfulfilled. The Sultan nods at you silently, as if in approval, then waves his hand. Those still loyal draw their swords, charging at your group like a torrent... And so, the next act begins.

It's just death after all
When two tides smash together, iron entwines with flesh – you stand as the frailer force.



The whirlwind of edged steel ensnares you all. Companions, soldiers – each slams against the encircling wall of blades, their lives bursting forth like foam on the surge... At last, only you endure. You deem this no wretched fate, so with a grim glee, you unsheathe your sword and hurl yourself into the maelstrom...

Your Your monarch is summoning you.
