Nice start. Very evocative.

The Deathwalkers of the Fellowship of Talor! Now
there's a tangent!

Ahh, that banner. And to think it was an uncertain
plot device..

The letters appear in front of Anzhur and for a moment
he recognised them; the language was old in style and
the grammar strange, almost foreign. The banner speaks
of the virtues of the God Learners, the valor and
tragedy of Prince Snodal who both exemplified chivalry
and yet also kileld the God of the Silver Feet.

One very, very strange word burns itself into Anzhur's
mind, one he has never heard of before:

"Interobjectivity"

(critical success [2] for the banner's "inspiration"
and a critical success [also a 2] to the cultural
keyword - Loskalmi language leads me a strong
reminder..
