He nods, motioning for Alexandria to go get her things. She squeals happily and runs off. You and the senior knight talk for a bit and he tells you a bit more about your new squire.
She is an orphan from the last Kiltran war. Her family having been made up of low level nobles, their land was among the first confiscated by the government in order to provide land for the troops to board and drill. The war dragged on and by the time it was over the Mavro family fortune was entirely exhausted. They were forced to abandon their century old home and were reduced to begging on the streets. Her father was trampled fighting for his bread ration, and the mother soon succumbed to disease. She and her two sisters struggled to make ends meet, and as each became old enough, they each escaped their old life by citing their noble blood and joining various convents. Each has a deep set hatred for their native country and how it tore their family apart.
Alexandria runs up breathlessly, a small pack and a light buckler bouncing on her back. She shakes the senior knight's hand and thanks him, and he hands her a spear, its point so fine that it gleams as it catches the sunlight. She thanks him again and then hurries to catch up with you, turning over her new weapon in her hands.

Mission: By the Hand of the Official Emissary to the Mainland - Despite our efforts to eradicate the encroaching Litelachian forces, they still maintain a token force on our borders, and they constantly harry our vanguard companies patrolling the area.

Conditions: The invading force must be reduced by at least half their original numbers in order to receive pay.

The Kingdom of Oceania's only territory on the mainland. There is a single castle with a pitifully small village outlying it where some of the poorer merchants reside. It houses one of Oceania's three Legions, a massive standing army made up of their mightiest troops, as well as one of the most expansive ports in the known world. The Oceanian Queen allows the Gray Blades to have a fortress in the area, as all Oceanians loathe setting foot beyond the sandy coast and take advantage of their services often.
