    Flaming skeletons marched through the dragon scorched streets of Holyhome. Little remained of what had been the capital of the continent’s most powerful empire.“What now?” Sir Danielle Longbow asked the assassin by her side.“Now you blacken that tabard and stash your armour where it can’t give us away,” said Catherine Harper, who wore the blackened silver hawk mask as always.The knight rubbed the breastplate of her armour instinctively.
