Welcome Freelancers,
Apologies for the delay on this one, but I figured better late than never!
As the season of darkness continues on, shrouds of fog dance with kindled embers across Bastion. Are you partaking in any of the festivities, or do you prefer to venture out into the wilds and taken on the threats that lie beyond our walls?
Perhaps you saw, but late last week we shared the first of many stories that you might hear people speak of around the fires of Fort Tarsis. The story shared is of an everyday hero rather than a bold, stoic Freelancer (like yourselves). This custodian, the one we all know as Pirndel, may not be a fighter, but he does stand for what he believes in. Though, perhaps he can be a tad too strict about some things. Mind the cables.
We’ll share another story of heroism during times of darkness later this week. After all, that’s in part what the Season of Skulls is about. Anyone can be a hero, but we’re stronger together than we are alone. Without Pirndel, a lot of people could have gotten hurt that day. Without you...well, we all know what you’ve faced, Freelancer.
Let’s go in to what you can expect from this week.
