Invictus Men Spotted In Karovia

[Dukester 120]

It was a typical night in Karovia, the southern skies drowned by the presence of thick grey clouds that spread across the plain view, opening it's bouls as the rains made their descent. The usual noises and sounds the town would generate were not to be heard, as the cracking of lightning, bellowing of thunder and patting of rain was all that echoed through the empty streets.

 

 

However through natures performance, the muffled cries and shouts of voices could be heard. As the sound grew louder the quality became clearer. Then the drums came into range, the rythem repetitive yet the sound bold and powerful. As the mists began to clear you would begin to see the silhouettes of men in profound armor, rising over the horizon and down the roads into Karovia as the sunlight began to seep through the clouds. As the men entered the town the drums ceased and the shouts disperesed with them, until silence stuck the streets once more. The men were dressed in cotten and hardened leathers of colours white and red, of which were plated by golden armor, followed nicely by a blood red ploom.

 

 

The soldiers stood still, spear and shield ceasing to move despite the unearthly weather. A robust man stepped forward from behind the ranks of the troops, bearing the same uniform as his companions but carrying only but a scroll. As he stepped forth to the front of the column he removed his helmet to allow his voice to be heard. It was Darius Elendil, son of Derrek, who unravelled the scroll, raising it to his face and beginning to read.

 

"Citizens of Karovia! Your settlement is now to garrison men of the Sword Invictus by order Commander Adoros Steel! A deal has been made with Mithius Dalma of the Karovian Trading Company. The men garrisoned here are to defend the facilities of the Trading company and /not/ an occupation of the town. We expect your cooperation. Hail Invictus!"

 

After the last few words from the scroll were said, the soldiers raised their spears high, and shouted in unison the words "Hail Invictus!" the chant recited proudly, enough to send chills down the spines of any who heard.

 

After the new arrivals had settled in, men in gold now scattered around the towns streets, the settlement now seemed alive with solderis sparring and conversing with one another in the streets and in the meadow fields. The sounds of shouting and clashing of swords ringing out through Karovia as they displayed their presence as a power on the rise, with a promising future ahead.

 

 

As you go to return to your business, you notice a poster pinned to a timber pillar by a short dagger, small enough to be an envelope opener. The poster reads:

 

"The Sword Invictus are Recruiting!

A life of adventure and wealth awaits you!

You can seize this and become a Companion!

Just sign here and mark your place in this world.."

Invictus saved a young elf's life yesterday!  It's amazing to watch them march around and the training each of them goes through is very rigorous.  They are so brave and I think anyone that wants to make a difference should join them.
