[QUOTE="Tumakhunter, post: 1338245, member: 12191"] When you reach the dining car, Lightbringer is already seated at table. He has removed his armour and helmet, but a heavy veil still covers his features. His head is shaven and tatooed, and you notice that he appears not to have any eyebrows, either. A large silver hoop earring hangs from his left ear. The table in front of him is covered with food, enough food to feed the entire group of you (even with Feldon's appetite) and leave plenty afterwards. A large mug sits beside Lightbringer, with what would appear to be a small reed sticking out of the top. "Welcome, friends. Come, sit. Enjoy some breakfast before the day gets too far underway. You will excuse me if I don't join you in the meal, but I have already eaten, and I will be able to explain a bit more about myself and our mission, as it were. "I am, as fantastic as it may sound, a duer out of time, if you will. I was born the second son of Dalzak, during the time of the Great War - what is now known as the War of Ascension. My people had only just discovered the surface realms, and had been hauled ito the War quite unwillingly. I and the second sons of each of the great warlords, were taken and trained in the arts of warfare and were made into a very special unit, with each trained to annihilate a specific foe presented by the Great Mages who would be Gods. Our names were taken from us, and we were given the title 'Loyal Sword' of our fathers. After the War, we weere no longer needed, so the Great Forger placed us in an enchanted sleeping chamber, to be awakened again when we were needed. I awoke three months ago, but all of my bretheren were either missing or dead." At this last, Lightbringer goes silent a moment, and a look of very deep sadness crosses his eyes. You think you hear something about a 'beloved Urukslayer,' but are uncertain. You do not even know what an Uruk might be. After a moment, his eyes harden again, as he looks up. "When I awoke, and left the chamber, I found the world had changed around me. The wilderness I found myself in seemed to have no end, until I came across Mor'Gan and Feldon, who, with a party of others, were tracking a new enemy of their people - your people - who had destroyed the frontier town known as Tolk, in the southernmost reaches of your frontier.
