Edrin lowers his sword. The thorns loosen around his knees.

He asks you to take the watch into your own heart. It will cost one blood, but his oath will stand beside you against the Bellkeeper.

Or you can break off the iron spur. A dead knight's violence is useful: one extra might, and a little flame. He will have nothing left to ask of anyone.

Choose your way

Promise to carry his watch / lose 1 blood; keep his oath / FATAL at your current blood

Break off his iron spur / gain 1 might and up to 1 flame

What you carry

I. Reed token / Wren remembered; a name can lower a sword.

Mercies kept: 1 of 3. Weapon: notched sword.
