About this story
You carry the fevered knight out of Torquilstone while Ulrica sings her father's gods on the burning tower, and at Templestowe you watch Bois-Guilbert fall dead untouched, no lance within a yard of him. Forty-four chapters carry a brass collar to a steward's keys at Rotherwood.
Who you’ll meet
Brian de Bois-Guilbert, Wamba the jester and a disguised palmer on the Rotherwood road. You play Gurth, the swineherd.

WambaBlow louder, Gurth; perhaps Cedric's bacon has learned court manners.
The jester sat on a fallen stone, his bright coat mocking the brown woods.
