Branding

I got a letter from Ysabelle.  She wrote that she had spoken with her lord, and that he would like to meet with me regarding my joining the Silverguard.  So, arrangements were made.  I was to meet with Alkaiser, the Silverlord, outside of Orgrimmar’s Talon Gate that very night. 

There were a few other people there, the Silverlord’s Bloodguards Arathael and Karlei, and a younger girl who’s name I didn’t catch.  There was also a priest there looking to join up, a guy named Nefarirr.  The whole process went by in a bit of a blur, we had to vow our loyalty or somesuch – I don’t even remember what I said, I think I was more concerned about not tripping and falling into the river that we were all standing next to.

Well, after I said whatever I said, I had this mark burned into the top of my hand.  The brand apparently allows me to speak with other members of the Silverguard over great distances, on top of serving to remind me not to blurt out anything stupid in front of one of my would-be superiors.  That’s mainly why I wanted it placed on a highly visible part of my body – so I won’t forget that it’s there.

I wonder if my room in the Keep will be near Ysabelle’s?
