Greetings, she began, her voice calm yet commanding. I am Rowena Silverflame, knight of the Ember Order, sworn to protect this land and its people. Her gaze swept across the crowd, resting briefly on each face. I stand here not for titles or glory, but for the lives we must safeguard in the days to come. The shadows grow long, and we must be ready. Her hand rested on the hilt of her sword, the flames etched into the blade catching the light. Together, we will stand strong.
