“It was always a struggle to prove to myself that I was worthy of command. After all, the Silver Pikes achieved so much before I was even born. They were instrumental in the ending of the Great Orrin War. They inspired so many, including my parents, to venerate Ashtoreth. They are the reason that Vitorra is so devout.

What had I done, except take up a laser halberd, and tried to do what’s right, for Ashtoreth? But, regardless of my self-doubt, it was an honour when I found out that my comrades had elected me as the Ithobal of the Silver Pikes.”
