In what was considered the best inn within Ironhold, a group of mercenaries were drinking ale and eating heartily. Some of them were talking to bards who wished to learn their story. In fact, as they were telling their story, not only the bards but everybody in the inn was listening.
"In truth, we came to Ashpeak Mountains to capture the little leader." When those words came out of the mercenary's mouth, everyone was shocked.
"Still, the little leader told us we didn't have to do what we didn't believe in. He promised us a future filled with honor and glory. A future where we could choose why we live, and why we die. He said... He'd show us a grand dream."
As the mercenary's voice carried through the inn, the listeners could picture it. The noble's son Lucen Thornehart stood tall before a band of mercenaries, offering them something more than coin. It was like the beginning of an epic tale you hear the bards sing.
