Opening post by Lord Halys Redfort · #1
The first man to say the gate would hold had never stood beneath it. I expected one piece of filler to pass while my understrength host rested behind closed gates, but the episode became another episode, then another, and my keep remained a waiting room with no relief in sight.
By the time the story returned to its course, the cost was my evening and the chance to spend swords I could not replace. The gates held, but patience is not free.
