“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
169Please respect copyright.PENANAo9UqhKbTXq
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the169Please respect copyright.PENANAEzZtaC7Edh
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly169Please respect copyright.PENANA6Immd2eOMr
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of169Please respect copyright.PENANAg7cOtjkoeT
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies169Please respect copyright.PENANAgL0dzh6qtq
first took the throne.169Please respect copyright.PENANAUdoIjdmjpR
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.169Please respect copyright.PENANAUlXjwibc3y
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible169Please respect copyright.PENANA7pEgtwaYfR
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by169Please respect copyright.PENANAqTxeTUUTnp
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and169Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2xjVuePPl
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for169Please respect copyright.PENANAVjLxRisA5g
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about169Please respect copyright.PENANAhoPkn60hjP
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the169Please respect copyright.PENANAaL3xndB0h7
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra169Please respect copyright.PENANAKEOwoHYhrm
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital169Please respect copyright.PENANAZN24w7KSSx
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.169Please respect copyright.PENANAcsgXIHQcwu
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more169Please respect copyright.PENANAHmdew4uo2Z
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.169Please respect copyright.PENANAvqtwHMQqJU
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies169Please respect copyright.PENANAlVnL5jsqOA
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow169Please respect copyright.PENANAVSqyISaXbW
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.169Please respect copyright.PENANA6ow7epwJ0G
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else169Please respect copyright.PENANAoraaN9eYxQ
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the169Please respect copyright.PENANAOOTqayHjaY
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery169Please respect copyright.PENANAit2ud7gJqm
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds169Please respect copyright.PENANAVOWCqtDFsV
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.169Please respect copyright.PENANAIK4MZwZtuS
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly169Please respect copyright.PENANAf9P3H0Qr6f
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the169Please respect copyright.PENANAknOFIOMWwx
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand169Please respect copyright.PENANAxy3htbStNC
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this169Please respect copyright.PENANAVjKeMPT5yl
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out169Please respect copyright.PENANA9g0XW1TORh
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.169Please respect copyright.PENANAq5rk5fLMNP
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the169Please respect copyright.PENANAsHtD3UrizC
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and169Please respect copyright.PENANAd5VIsfpO1G
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,169Please respect copyright.PENANA869vqbanzd
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,169Please respect copyright.PENANAlaXtfmPnrM
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had169Please respect copyright.PENANAUGr3n5d7Xu
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in169Please respect copyright.PENANAudf36kK89p
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?169Please respect copyright.PENANAB2IG5SdDN7
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.169Please respect copyright.PENANAOwcQZDIjpc
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital169Please respect copyright.PENANA0kEtzGr40x
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits169Please respect copyright.PENANAG6jdaGUQcW
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in169Please respect copyright.PENANADTG1el85t0
this manner the five-warrior tradition.169Please respect copyright.PENANADjiBpaDWxw
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the169Please respect copyright.PENANA4ek6FAeMmJ
royal court pointed out.169Please respect copyright.PENANARTFVWMN6Eu
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group169Please respect copyright.PENANACZ0jL4dK5V
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.169Please respect copyright.PENANAgRVEUYjpPI
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever169Please respect copyright.PENANAPZmYRgWNk8
taking place during all this time.
