Karl gave the girl a nod as he watched her run off, turning his attention back to his mount (Daisy), he began to feed her the oatcake that he had taken out of the saddlebag but moments ago. Perhaps the knight might have been back to his own courier mission had he not been idly glancing around...

Karl had been expecting the young women to take off the moment his back was turned, and had almost missed the offer of a hand if he hadn't turned just decided to glance back on a whim. Odd, most people around these part weren't usually this friendly... "Of course, it's not a problem." Removing...

Thagretis, it wasn't a word that Karl was a familiar with. Even thinking over everything he had heard of traveling outside of the realm, never had the knight ever encounter the topic of such a land. Such a question was better assigned to more worldly men, such as his brother or Zufar. Of course...

"There is no respect for others without humility in one's self." - Henri Frederic Amiel FU-BUUKX For the practice and the experienced, that sound of wood cracking under pressure was a familiar sort, one that was oft associated with the shattering of lances against its target. What followed was...

"Karl! Northeast!" One of the armored riders called out, wheeling around to match pace with the aforementioned "Karl", who was in the process of felling another one of the bandits with his longsword. "Enemy reinforcements!?" Karl turned his head towards where his mounted compatriot was...

Karl said nothing as he continued to look on, shifting a hand onto one of his sheathed blades. Curiously enough, the knight seemed to carry two longswords on his hip, both of which were strapped to the same side. Yet regardless of weapons, the knight didn't so much as react until Azlat came...

Karl watched as the girl swiped the package from his hand, his expression remained neutral, though perhaps more so out of habit then purposeful intent. Indeed, what the young knight had in martial prowess he severely lacked in social aptitude, a fact that he was often reminded by his siblings...

"Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil." -Baltasar Gracian Vel Anir, it wasn't a place that Karl particularly liked to linger around for too long. Of all the places that Karl had travel to in the wider world, the towns and cities of Vel Anir felt among the coldest. By all...

The group had been too far to really hear much of what was being spoken elsewhere in the gather ground. Instead, it seemed that all but the armored man continued to engage in some sort of conversation, a banter that was quickly drowned out by the voices all around them. After a short period of...

A knight's vows was a matter that came before any title, or at least that Karl von Stehlen had been taught growing up with a knightly order. That despite his own titles of nobility he was first and foremost a warrior bound to the responsibility of his realm. And Karl would have been more than...

"I beg you take courage; the brave soul can mend even disaster." - Catherine the Great Upon the side of a nearby clearing was commotion that plagued the otherwise quiet stillness of the nearby forest. It was the sound of people, and not just anybody; an entire raiding host attempting to make...

There much of the world that Karl hardly could even come close to fathom, weather that be the various peoples of the world or of it's mysteries. Perhaps one of those mystery sat right next to him in this very cave...what was it about her? Not even the knight could tell you...maybe it had to do...

Karl might have no displayed any outward emotion, but inside he cringed. Out of the three great cities on the immediate continent, Vel Anir was perhaps the most disagreeable for the knight. Despite sharing both realms sharing similar population demographic and having a non-aggression treaties...

"Then...whatever it is you serve or fight for now...may it bring you honor for as long as your days remain bright." Her vagueness was what gave it away...and while Karl couldn't tell what she was part of, it sounded she was rather content with her present. Quietly, he was glad for her...though...

Karl's face did not change as he looked to the young women, hands still swirling the vial in his hands as he awaited an answer. The knight didn't often had to negotiate himself unless it was somthing more minor like supplies or lounging on extended missions away from the realm. Bigger things...
