Redhawk Caldera triduana

soon, a woman arrived, with a clear limp that germanicus saw had delayed her. in the backdrop, a cloud-white figure followed. a guard.

germanicus drew himself into the proper stiff stance of his attendance's respect. "hail, regent ruenna redfern of redhawk caldera, second to towhee redhawk, sovereign of redhawk caldera." the hushflower gaze was bemused when he had repeated her titles, a reflection of her own affable nature.

"i am germanicus julius caesar. this is crowfeather. we are auxilia who mean to make your lake a stopping-point for a week's time. during these days, i intend to train him as a cohort."

he was not unaware that ruenna's features did not match the expression of her eyes, nor the limp that plagued her, though he mostly kept his own gaze trained ahead and respectfully.

"in return for the lake's respite, we will perform whatever tasks the caldera requests. none are too menial."
