“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
104Please respect copyright.PENANAh1DYcGU8nB
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the104Please respect copyright.PENANAR1leaT8zA3
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly104Please respect copyright.PENANAgD6gFaGKwx
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of104Please respect copyright.PENANADwy3eE0vWv
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies104Please respect copyright.PENANAwSpg8n5b2B
first took the throne.104Please respect copyright.PENANA2tXsnLxt7f
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.104Please respect copyright.PENANAlFi8Smtwce
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible104Please respect copyright.PENANAbLMQw5qraE
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by104Please respect copyright.PENANAqh8QWiTvxh
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and104Please respect copyright.PENANA3vN1kqq7YE
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for104Please respect copyright.PENANAMQWI1vq8a1
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about104Please respect copyright.PENANAE3GBi0J8YH
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the104Please respect copyright.PENANAAz4Fwday9g
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra104Please respect copyright.PENANAN6xkoJLKio
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital104Please respect copyright.PENANA6SMuUTpg1c
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.104Please respect copyright.PENANAvdIfuMPhbk
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more104Please respect copyright.PENANA33YLeNjvMa
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.104Please respect copyright.PENANAiBxJ0qPouD
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies104Please respect copyright.PENANAYCjcd9kXfE
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow104Please respect copyright.PENANA3PJiq0C5Sp
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.104Please respect copyright.PENANA8KP5jXafuD
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else104Please respect copyright.PENANAUymXvEC9vE
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the104Please respect copyright.PENANAN67POzHTjL
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery104Please respect copyright.PENANATL3yxTAHQr
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds104Please respect copyright.PENANA1yrcfGem3d
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.104Please respect copyright.PENANA4CE33f7Gzm
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly104Please respect copyright.PENANAdUavZ5LbBh
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the104Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ2qgYqjK5
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand104Please respect copyright.PENANA1dO2w2OgzK
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this104Please respect copyright.PENANAZmOrkiX4xD
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out104Please respect copyright.PENANAFLXHc6oDD5
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.104Please respect copyright.PENANASwIXIuVcTk
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the104Please respect copyright.PENANAlCSSKtqaMG
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and104Please respect copyright.PENANACDWh0Sb7mk
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,104Please respect copyright.PENANAZr8SEei9UM
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,104Please respect copyright.PENANAs1ppMJFx1p
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had104Please respect copyright.PENANAOcWNZ3otar
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in104Please respect copyright.PENANA7KDo6tF0zB
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?104Please respect copyright.PENANArLwPbNnrV4
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.104Please respect copyright.PENANAwjA0ggD10H
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital104Please respect copyright.PENANAk3V02EhzP2
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits104Please respect copyright.PENANARaSQAteFdT
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in104Please respect copyright.PENANALnLXAokpQQ
this manner the five-warrior tradition.104Please respect copyright.PENANAJXJXB61aoW
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the104Please respect copyright.PENANA3NtuYxyEW1
royal court pointed out.104Please respect copyright.PENANApiQsY8UGpN
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group104Please respect copyright.PENANA09lMarZfDU
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.104Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ0ZU81mA7
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever104Please respect copyright.PENANAytqdAls3ea
taking place during all this time.
