Kass and Sir Avandor are an unlikely pair. An orphaned boy raised in neglect and an old knight-long past his prime-who cares more for honor than his own well-being. Together they travel the winding roads of Matador, a land filled with quiet wonders and hidden dangers. Bandits roam the countryside, and strange mysteries wait around unsuspecting corners. What begins as a simple journey soon draws them into darker affairs: the secrets of the untamed countryside, the inner workings of a cult devoted to the Misbegotten Son, and long buried secrets from Sir Avandor's past life. Is he the man he claims to be? Follow the wandering knight and his squire as they uncover the secrets that lie along this path and uncover the nefarious plot of the so-called Misbegotten Son. - I will do my best to update every Monday.
