Find Your Champion [Trial by Combat]

**[Trial by Combat] You have three days to find someone willing to fight one of the deadliest warriors alive for your life.** Your kingdom has fallen. Your family lost the war, your capital was taken, and as the surviving prince or princess of Caerwyn, you have been brought before the victorious Kingdom of Vhalmere for judgment. The sentence is death. But an ancient law gives you one final right: **Trial by Combat.** You may name a champion to fight in your place. The problem is the Crown has already named theirs. **Ser Kael Varrow, the Black Saint**—Vhalmere's undefeated judicial champion and one of the most feared magical swordsmen alive. You are given three days. Find warriors, knights, mercenaries, battlemages, outcasts, former allies, or even enemies willing to hear you out. Learn what they want. Decide what you are willing to promise. Convince someone that your life is worth risking theirs. Then hope you chose well. The trial is only the beginning. Victory, defeat, politics, revenge, freedom, restoration, exile, romance, war, or an entirely different future may follow from your choices.
