ÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON REINMAR,

 

From the campfires of the Host of St Johann, this message travels on boot and breath, carried over soil and stone to reach those whose swords still sleep and whose names are yet untested.

The Host calls to you.

If you have not yet drawn steel in service, if your hands are clean of blood and your shoulders unscarred by the weight of command, then you are Unblooded. But you are not unseen. The Host watches. The Host waits. And now, the Host opens its arms.

Come forth, and learn to move as the warriors do. Training shall be given under those who have walked the warpath and returned with honor. You will not be coddled. You will be carved. Beneath the gaze of veteran soldiers, you shall learn how to stand your ground, to strike true, and to survive the madness of battle. Each lesson will temper your flesh and spirit, until the two are as one.

And for those who do not seek the sword, but wish still to serve with steady hands and sharper minds; Castien von Ehrenwald, a healer of high regard, offers instruction in the ways of medicine. You will learn the language of wounds, how to pull a man from the brink and stitch him back into life. You will walk alongside warriors, not as shield-bearers, but as guardians of breath and of bone.

The Host does not offer comfort. It offers a crucible. You may enter as you are, but you will not leave unchanged.

The call has been given. The fire has been lit. Let the Unblooded rise.
