Preface

A Simple Hero

     A time long awaited had finally arrived. The people of Faern had been looking forward to this day for months. The Governor’s carriage, in a mere few hours, would be rolling down the cobbled center street into town. His coming was especially important, because he would be deciding what exactly to do for the defense of the infant city of Faern. However, more importantly, would be discussed how the Governor was going to cope with the threats of the Ryloth Thieves (or Ryloth Warriors; as they called themselves).
     The town of Faern had been founded only a decade in the past. No real defenses besides the city wall had been assembled. Lately, there had been many attacks on the town by the Ryloths. Many shops had been raided and the Mayor’s mansion had been ransacked. Though only a few people ad actually been hurt, the citizens of Faern were frightened, and they wanted something to be done. It was widely thought that the Governor’s coming could provide this. No one, though, could have predicted the strange things that were about to happen.
