Now, what do you think about this:Everyone speaks about the borderlands, but hardly anyone realizes how long is that border. It stretches on an on, mountains, rivers and gentle hills covered by thick forests one after each other until you begin to think: how could ANYONE defend such a border?The founders of our order were wise (that is, where they weren't drunk. Most of us are quite wiser than we seem. When we are not drunk). They knew that our place is here, and they knew that the Brotherhood would view us with a great suspicion. Thus, this is how things stand: we have 800 belted knights and 1000-1100 novices. We are stretched thin along the entire border of Highgate, Northwarden and Menokin. A dozen of Erukkans here, a dozen of Erukkans there. Actually, there are only three keeps that are ours: the chapterhouses. There's a sort of unspoken agreement: we almost never gather in more than a dozen in the same place. The chapterhouses hold no more than 150-200 men each. and they are mostly novices. Hardly a threat, when legions of brotherhood soldiers are nearby, watching over them. And we never try to travel in secret (not that it would be easy, anyway)Our task is to fight the enemies of the Light. We don't care much about church politics. Actually, every once in a while, a clergyman from the south comes up here, and tries to use the fact that we are trusted-somewhat trusted, at least. We usually know that he is coming, and he only finds a pair of drunk knights, while the other are out in the forest, hunting for trolls. Of course, the couple of knights left can't leave the keep...it would be unguarded. Ah well, I guess, that this doesn't make us many friends among the scheming priests down in the south. What a shame. But only one think needs to be known: we are extremely skilled soldiers. And one dares to negate this (at least, not when someone of us is withing 10 miles)</blockquote>
