"In the beginning there were four. They were Kormakr and Vykor and Tyracke and Gilbert and this was good. And verily they were heartily sick of the politics within the lands of the East and so they created solace in the mountains. A confederation, a brotherhood of warriors where heart and skill would rule the battlefield and this too was good....On second thought, maybe "Once upon a time" might be a tad less dramatic." ~ Hauoc
