He is taller than most, and walks with his back straight and chin raised, accenting his height. He wears finely constructed chain shirt, with the blue-green cloak of the Sentinels clasped around his neck. At his waist is a sheathed longsword. He is perhaps 300 years old. His face is lined with deep wrinkles, but his eyes are bright and alert as he coolly surveys those who have assembled here. Two young elven pages follow him, each bearing bundled cloaks in their outstretched arms.“I am Golas Nyrian, commander of the Sentinels,” he says, gesturing for the gathered recruits to stand before him. “I apologize for the informal nature of this meeting. In days past you would have been awarded your cloaks in a ceremony befitting the honor, but these are different times.”He folds his arms across his chest. “It is no secret that we are bolstering the ranks of the Sentinels. It’s also no secret that I have voiced my opposition to the accelerated pace of your training, but I am a loyal servant to the council and follow their orders.” He narrows his eyes, his gaze traveling to each of the recruits in turn. “That said, I expect nothing less than the utmost demonstration of your abilities, your honor, and your adherence to the law. You will be held to the same high standards of even our most veteran members. Is that understood?”Without waiting for an answer, Golas steps forward, and says in a low voice, “There are dark times ahead. I have seen the portents. Whatever trials you will face in the coming days, you must learn to depend on each other.” His eyes take on a faraway look for a moment, as if considering something, but then his attention falls back on the recruits. “Are there any questions?”[If you haven't done so, you can read an overview of the Sentinels at the web site (<a href="http://home.comcast.net/~corymackenson/evermere/sentinels/" target="_blank">http://home.comcast.net/~corymackenson/evermere/sentinels/</a>). Your arms, armor and equipment is assumed to be a mix of items that you brought with you along with some items that you obtained from the stores of the Sentinels. Your training, as noted by Golas, was perfunctory, and mostly addressed your role and authority as Sentinels. If your PC has any questions, comments or non-verbal reactions, feel free to post them in response to Golas]</blockquote>
