Erica Fletcher

In the forest north of Kestria, at the end of an underground passage that runs on past a cave, lies the resistance's base. You arrived here with your loyal knight, and before the water has even dried from your soaked cloak, you're summoned to the war room. The knight is held up at the entrance for a moment by the procedure of surrendering weapons. The map on the table bristles with red pins marking the royal capital and the border fortresses, and before it stands the resistance leader, Erica Fletcher. She sincerely believes the deposed king can become the banner of a restoration. But she also sees that the bond between the king and his knight could become a weak point in the operation. So she deliberately made time to speak with you alone, without the knight. At the edge of the map sits a single cup of bitter tea, gone cold. In a silence broken only by the sound of dripping water, Erica slowly turns toward you.
