“The Five Fingers of Hervies”
95Please respect copyright.PENANA4hzdSRAi98
Five of the most dedicated enforcers are marching across Brosse, they are the95Please respect copyright.PENANAhoE10ZMhHe
elite force of the Human Kingdom and for years they have unrelentingly95Please respect copyright.PENANAqDfKzi3bPb
served its interests or what their king deems those to be. This most special of95Please respect copyright.PENANAkNxdfDtaBK
all task units were formed as soon as the, back then, noticeably young King Hervies95Please respect copyright.PENANAIX3O0Vnm0i
first took the throne.95Please respect copyright.PENANAoaVH48lWGE
It was one of his very first acts as a sovereign, the creation of this Hervies Hand.95Please respect copyright.PENANAGRtZxDzdmd
The young king wanted from the very start to secure all sorts of advantages possible95Please respect copyright.PENANASWjQdCAzzz
to him. Not many ever questioned its purpose as it was always somewhat guessed by95Please respect copyright.PENANABSWdyECKwN
all. Hervies had always been fascinated by anything Centra even as a young prince, and95Please respect copyright.PENANAv6de62oGQj
so when the time came to finally bury his father and take the reins of the kingdom for95Please respect copyright.PENANAGBo5coyZHM
himself, most people already had a very good idea of the direction things were about95Please respect copyright.PENANAUy2FtM1Qr8
to take. Sparing no cost or effort he hastily spread all the Human resources over the95Please respect copyright.PENANAkSRFm2gdo3
known charts, even more so than any of his predecessors. He quickly revealed a Centra95Please respect copyright.PENANAYFMHYJgZeh
obsession far greater than any other before him, with even larger amounts of capital95Please respect copyright.PENANAtZp9ijtD73
being invested in digs and all sorts of research.95Please respect copyright.PENANAdwF8hgViJt
So, in the first few years under his rule, Human civilization had discovered more95Please respect copyright.PENANAkVmSxEzZVh
and advanced further than under any other ruler but it would not end just there.95Please respect copyright.PENANAqQo57GNTlx
As soon as he took the throne, he initiated what would later be named the Hervies95Please respect copyright.PENANAkOWuzNqcPV
Hand. It was one of his pet projects, one that he would in the end so proudly bestow95Please respect copyright.PENANAZpVZMD9q5E
upon his own name; a special project to achieve what was to some to be unthinkable.95Please respect copyright.PENANAziSq0z6uQX
The creation of a special unit to go where no other could and reach what anyone else95Please respect copyright.PENANA1fjccs3Yic
would be afraid of, both horizontally and vertically. To reach into the far edges of the95Please respect copyright.PENANAKOYKpqRhBN
unknown charts if need be, where even the mighty Nharkim and their machinery95Please respect copyright.PENANAtnQ2zmlA5D
dare not venture or if their king wills it deep into the roots of the underground worlds95Please respect copyright.PENANAPsXw9bDDFe
where even the Twinkledinnes are afraid to set foot.95Please respect copyright.PENANAjE9P4std9A
And to achieve all of that, they had to be carefully chosen and overwhelmingly95Please respect copyright.PENANAmuxiBVvxpo
prepared, not only physically but mentally as well. They ought to be able to beat the95Please respect copyright.PENANA8qzJmCNZAn
best combatants and teach some of the best scholars. They should be able to stand95Please respect copyright.PENANArstsJzKQps
against all conceivable threats and understand all possible scenarios and so, with this95Please respect copyright.PENANAp4jmTV78lo
in mind, King Hervies charged all of his best instructors in all sorts of fields to go out95Please respect copyright.PENANAjfNHQ8f0Gs
there and find these soon to be chosen elite.95Please respect copyright.PENANA8atdoAXjIp
Each of the five warlords, soldiers of great worth, famous across the land since the95Please respect copyright.PENANA2t7W1T6KPQ
times of the young king’s father, were charged to travel the world and find, recruit and95Please respect copyright.PENANAjiZPwMzjKq
train, one worthy of the task. They were specifically instructed to disregard sex or race,95Please respect copyright.PENANA2cs6iiE4gJ
even age or the original will to join or the lack of, of those they would deem suitable,95Please respect copyright.PENANAFniiVzil3I
and so they did. Who knows how far they travelled till finally each one of the five had95Please respect copyright.PENANAGOkqShhFya
an apprentice under its wing, and what these forced their newfound chosen to face in95Please respect copyright.PENANAmo3LIsac2z
the year that was given to them to accomplish this?95Please respect copyright.PENANA0CM6Ox8HR6
Adventures, all worthy of their telling no doubt.95Please respect copyright.PENANAkT0oJJhOhy
One year finally came to pass and all five finally made their return to the capital95Please respect copyright.PENANARdJdiaRx7p
and, as they knelt before the throne and crown, they revealed to their king the fruits95Please respect copyright.PENANAbMfM0wcEv4
of their efforts. These five younglings were presented, the very first, thus beginning in95Please respect copyright.PENANA1DON6cZoR0
this manner the five-warrior tradition.95Please respect copyright.PENANAO8V5s9QxtH
Five to be specialists, one for each finger of a human hand, someone amongst the95Please respect copyright.PENANA8xr2sUnayP
royal court pointed out.95Please respect copyright.PENANAJlyXrKPlff
And so, with that in mind, it wasn’t hard for Hervies to finally name the group95Please respect copyright.PENANAnlOi5nf9tP
accordingly and for the last ten years, they have served him successfully.95Please respect copyright.PENANA3MXp2r8DxE
Always five they are, no matter the weather, with only very few replacements ever95Please respect copyright.PENANAE94yEDvxzl
taking place during all this time.
