They've already crushed one army, and sooner or later Castia will fall to them as well. Every nightmare you've ever had, every monster you feared to find beneath your bed, is right there. Some thirty thousand men and women are trapped within its walls. My name is Gabriel, and I need your help. We found a druin keystone, and opened the Threshold behind me. We walked the Cold Road, and we paid its toll. Gabe: We crossed the Heartwyld, though it wasn't easy. We brought down a chimera, and took the Maxithon for a spin. We rescued the king of Agria from his wife's hired assassin. Gabe: Some of you-hell, most of you-are too young to remember why we're famous, so let me give you a few recent examples. Gabe: I'm in a band, and you'll have heard of them too. if you've got blue eyes and the wits of an ox, that might be true as well. Maybe your father told you he fought beside me once, or perhaps your mother said she met me in a tavern twenty years ago. You might have heard I slew the Crypt Queen Nazalin in single combat, or that I was first over the wall at Castadar. You know me-or you know of me-from some poem, or song, or story.
