This was a wonderful read. I find the stories that let us see the world of a single character to be much more investing and interesting then one that turn the single person(or thing) into a statistic.
The good
this was a heart felt story that showed a lot of heritage and built a lot of lore with very little.
Honestly I think that is the highest compliment I can give you.
The only thing I would add as a consideration, and it might be just me, but I wasn’t sure that it was another guild(as I saw in the comments) I thought it was the battle brothers. At first I thought it was the orcs. So I was not clear on who the old enemies now ally's were.
Honestly thou I think that the story works no matter who you think the ally is(and again it could just be me)
Thanks!
