Edler

"I have served with sword and silk for many years, my friends. It is now time that I pass the tools on to a younger man and fade away into the mists of history. I will not be around to criticize my replacement, rather I crave one last act of valor. My ancient heart beats slow and true to the war drums, and I will be striking one final blow against the greenskin. Mourn me not, for I have lived long past my usefulness and it was a good, full life. I leave you now, and may the edler protect you forevermore."
~excerpt from Edler Garibald's farewell address.
