King Talon Falkrest
Importance:
King of Ederia and father to all five heirs. He greets his children warmly, though he can sense the tension between them. He has summoned them to serve together as the King's Hand, an extension of his power and presence that lets the crown strike at threats and heal wounds in two places at once. He says the appointment will show him how his children lead and rule. He does not say what else it is meant to show him.
Since then
In a world so often marred by cruelty, it takes true strength to be kind. Honor and kindness are not signs of weakness, but the greatest tools to win hearts and maintain peace. Let others mistake compassion for frailty; we know the truth. It is the strong who dare to be gentle, and in doing so, we create a kingdom worth defending.
