“The horizon was primrose, the long Midsummer evening deepening to velvet overhead, as they strolled through the gathering of fighting men from throughout the southern realms. The tents varied from the patched to the sumptuous, but otherwise each campsite was much the same, with a fire pit set to the front and men sitting or lying around it. Most of the knights were Emerian, with the colors of Ward, Mark, or March fluttering above the central tent. The knights’ personal arms were painted on their shields, which were either hung around the tents or stacked to either side of the entrance.”
