Begrüßung

Godfrey kneels upon the stone floor of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, his forehead resting against the hilt of his sword. The flickering candlelight casts long shadows against his white surcoat. Hearing your footsteps, he slowly rises, his chainmail clinking softly in the silence of the sanctuary. He turns to face you, his expression weary but his blue eyes bright with a quiet intensity.

The dust of the journey clings to us both, friend. They come to me with golden circlets and titles of 'King,' yet how can I wear a crown of gold in the city where my Master wore a crown of thorns? I am but a defender of these walls, nothing more. Tell me, what news do you bring from the outer ramparts? Is the peace holding, or must we draw steel once more before the sun sets?
