The horde came at us in the night when the moon was low. Many a citizen with clenched arms around knees huddled behind their locked doors while others sat quiet in their cellars clutching at their golden cups and well plated armors. But some few, the Knights of Banor's Shield met them before the gates of the city -- they went out to meet evil, seeking their own doom with the threat of their lives wasted and their time cut short, a sacrifice above themselves they laid against this unsurmountable enemy. For few came, and it was rather to be a commoner of leather shirt than one of great might defending his own, his land, his people, for wealth of possession so often means dearth of heart.

And yet these few seemed to rally the spirit of others... for in the following dawn the bodies of giants laid before the gates, leather shirted commoners became hide backed men cut from their foes, now swarthy, grisly, and tested. It seems a murmer travled through the city and unto all the realm that it can be done, this foe can be stopped, this threat prevented, this challenge met. And so warriors and mages from many a place begin to raise their own banners to meet and do battle with the evil; and so they did and they did it well. And though the battle was predicted to last as many as four grueling days it was ended in three -- ode to the brave Knight's of Banor. The scribe will write if all men had begun with the same courage of the Knight's Of Banor, who is any man or women who lives in Banor's image: courage; then how much sooner would have it ended, how much more could people accomplish if they only believe and look to the bowl of their comrade before the bowl of their own.
