Background:
War has an endless appetite for fighting men. So when Captain Casimir Leroung and his mercenary company arrived at the Worldwound to offer their services to the crusade, few cared to question their motives. In those desperate days, willing swords were worth far more than careful scrutiny.
Those familiar with noble lineages and heraldry could never quite place the young captain within the bloodlines of House Leroung, but the discrepancy was easily overlooked. Nor did it seem to matter that Casimir himself showed little talent for strategy or battlefield tactics. What mattered was that his soldiers adored him. Wherever he went, morale remained high, and under his leadership ordinary men seemed capable of extraordinary deeds. Somehow, he always brought out the very best in those who fought beside him.
Leading his company from one victory to the next, Captain Casimir soon became a familiar figure among the crusaders. Though unfailingly friendly and good-natured, he was equally skilled at avoiding questions about his past. Few knew where he had come from, and fewer still could claim to know the truth of his story.
Who can say how far he might have risen through the ranks had it not been for a flaw in his character: Casimir bored easily. In time, the endless grind of the crusade lost its appeal, and he found himself longing for new horizons and fresh excitement. So when an old acquaintance from Tian Xia reached out with a plea for aid, he scarcely hesitated. Within a single night, he gathered his belongings, left the crusade behind, and set his course toward the distant lands of the East.
