An outpost somewhere that means nothing to anyone except some military bigshot who would rather see good men - fathers, brothers and sons - die so that on some map he can have his little flag flying and claim that land for the glorious Imperium." Dextyr pauses for a moment, takes a sip of water and then in a calmer tone continues. "Once they were gone I began to see things in a new light and decided that a life in the Imperium was not for me.  I packed up and decided to pick up the life of an adventurer; Not as some mercenary for hire who would run through an old lady for a few coppers, but as one of those hero types that are sung about in folklore.  I came to Daunton and then upon hearing the tales of this place, to the Hanged man.  I do agree, that aside from that poor monk fellow, there has not been an abundance of action here lately."</blockquote>
