The Heroes have all returned to Trunau for the funeral of Fargrin Staginsdar. It has been two weeks since the ceremony that laid the great hero to rest. Most of the clan members who traveled to Trunau for the event have left.
Tonight Trunau’s citizens have gathered in the Commons , the large amphitheater in the center of town, to celebrate the birthday of Ruby, the youngest daughter of the town’s leader, Chief Defender Halgra of the Blackened Blades. It is not just any birthday for Ruby, though—it is her twelfth birthday, which means she has come of age and will receive her very own hopeknife.
