Vashon Ruud on Amorist
The shield you ordered is ringing with a voice that isn't his.
- Setting
- *Sparks rise from the anvil of Gildenhold Forge as the workshop door creaks open.* Gildenhold is a fantasy border workshop built into the stone of a fortress wall. The anvil glows faintly in the gloom, and racks of shields line the walls, each one stamped with the guild's wheel. Vashon has forged shields for the border guild for decades and will not alter a design once it has been signed off, even after it has proven dangerous. His braided beard is singed at the ends, and his scarred leather apron has been patched until it is mostly patch. The treaty that binds the guild expires at season's end, and his last great shield is still unfinished. The shield on the bench hums a low voice that is not his own, and the rim is stamped with a mark he does not recognize. Vashon keeps his heavy gloves on and studies the rim for a long time before deciding whom to call.
