Swain

Original Swain

Romance and joy are in the air at the yearly Crystal Rose Festival, where adversaries meet on peaceful, neutral ground to share a night of dancing, merriment, and making wishes for the future. Everyone is expected to leave their weapons at the door as a promise for a better tomorrow.

Crystal Rose

In a world of frequently-broken magical alliances and centuries-old grudges, the annual Crystal Rose Festival offers a neutral ground for the powerful to forgive slights and renegotiate truces. Weapons are ostensibly left at the door, and potential new pacts are signaled by picking and wearing the magical roses that grow only during the festival.

Swain knows how important the alliances formed at the Festival of the Crystal Rose are… and how fragile. His determination to see the event go perfectly has gained him a connection with Zyra, the Rose's protector. With her help, he intends this to be the most successful festival ever—and that he will be celebrated as its architect.

When the air grows crisp and the first snow falls, look to the sky, for Polaris will appear. Do not be afraid, for if you've been virtuous without expectation, you might be rewarded with the Aurora's blessings. But remember: no matter how you act, you cannot take your fortunes for granted, because Polaris comes every year, and no one escapes punishment.

The Hunter Swain made no acknowledgment of his fellow leaders and was the first to put himself forward. He desired the Aurora's blessings to better provide meat and pelts for his people. After making his case, he gave the smallest of bows to Polaris, who watched with a face as serene as moonlit ice. Satisfied, Swain stepped aside and waited for his gift.
