“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
421Please respect copyright.PENANAudhfDzkma3
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the421Please respect copyright.PENANAyHwi5fcNUm
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly421Please respect copyright.PENANAV70LefOYLq
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of421Please respect copyright.PENANAY0lbausOCh
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies421Please respect copyright.PENANACczPBTHr7s
first took the throne.421Please respect copyright.PENANA859qD4x6ou
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.421Please respect copyright.PENANAqGjJYJxV7p
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible421Please respect copyright.PENANAy4Eh1zqbpj
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by421Please respect copyright.PENANAB1FhvqRci0
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and421Please respect copyright.PENANA1ea8yYM3AH
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for421Please respect copyright.PENANAf5eLpGrceF
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about421Please respect copyright.PENANABUqFaTaqfs
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the421Please respect copyright.PENANA6hJ3kRFYwh
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra421Please respect copyright.PENANAsVkr8diTUd
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital421Please respect copyright.PENANAOB6TQUnJGL
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.421Please respect copyright.PENANA5z1tIdqB0o
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more421Please respect copyright.PENANAfnJiwTPGdy
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.421Please respect copyright.PENANAikRa3XirGs
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies421Please respect copyright.PENANArudkws6ilH
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow421Please respect copyright.PENANAX4Eqh5mLys
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.421Please respect copyright.PENANAn7Sexx8VPh
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else421Please respect copyright.PENANAX1mxhGaWVS
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the421Please respect copyright.PENANA4kZNbWVVks
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery421Please respect copyright.PENANAfNNWFCX7JR
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds421Please respect copyright.PENANAD893GWuNs3
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.421Please respect copyright.PENANAquMBULQbKo
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly421Please respect copyright.PENANABssThvn9MN
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the421Please respect copyright.PENANAllqioUFBfD
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand421Please respect copyright.PENANApHUgo2U5kI
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this421Please respect copyright.PENANAwxQ2Gwupra
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out421Please respect copyright.PENANAwY7p3RyPo2
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.421Please respect copyright.PENANAuwDuKsSOUB
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the421Please respect copyright.PENANAgo9xN3ki8l
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and421Please respect copyright.PENANAFlx6h1GOEd
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,421Please respect copyright.PENANAjhOXjIH3sw
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,421Please respect copyright.PENANAgJnfv8DpR4
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had421Please respect copyright.PENANAQISQXylowE
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in421Please respect copyright.PENANAtBKe4HRVw5
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?421Please respect copyright.PENANA3ie504meZn
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.421Please respect copyright.PENANAtxaXcUsYUD
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital421Please respect copyright.PENANAD60jOxTIUf
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits421Please respect copyright.PENANAtqRtkoLxnQ
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in421Please respect copyright.PENANATwIak0vNAR
this manner the five-warrior tradition.421Please respect copyright.PENANAZYYuoCU46v
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the421Please respect copyright.PENANAMJMhsrK0oY
royal court pointed out.421Please respect copyright.PENANAaY23de9AkY
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group421Please respect copyright.PENANAdYp5jn9SdF
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.421Please respect copyright.PENANAVFmqKMOjt3
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever421Please respect copyright.PENANASpODNde39J
taking place during all this time.
