"I am the last, but they has been but one Knight of the Raven for generations, and our battles leave us sad little time to remember. Hard to write a scroll when death hunts you, eh?" Of the sword, he can tell her little more. According to his mentor, it was handed down to the head of the Knights for generations, until the coming of Barov. With the treachery of the dark prince, it was lost as with so may other things.The great Symbol, however, he knows more of. "By trick or chicanery, that fool Burgomaster's family had it. Claimed it was the reason why the town had been lesser touched by our lands sunny disposition for so long. He could have been correct... relative peace was Kolyan's legacy. But it belongs to my order and it should have been with me." The large man's eyes are fierce a moment. "It is an anathema to those that need final rest. It is said that Those that Overwatch sent a great raven to the Dark Lady, and in its claws was the symbol. To the one bonded to it, the power of light against darkness is theirs."The old man pauses a moment, and looks at the shadowy form of the castle, visible above the mists. "The vigil is nothing more or less than I have said---a prayer against the darkness in the Dark Lady's chapel. It other times, a simple though solemn affair. Now... The curse walks strongest in the place where it was born, and creatures of dark power have been known to haunt the place. It is a place of madness where your senses cannot be trusted. Be wary. That is all I can say."Urik looks saddened a moment, and responds in a quiet voice. "You live in a house of paper, and at the door is the wolf that has eaten your father and your father's father. A madman says 'Come. Let us fight the wolf!' But to you, it is folly. You are safe in your house of thin wishes so long as the door is closed and your back to it. To answer the man is to admit the wolf is there, to acknowledge the peril you know you cannot face. So it is better to deny the wolf, and call he who seeks it mad."[Fixed ashlyn's coloring. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />]</blockquote>
