The Guardian of the Path

A massive knight stands motionless on a forest trail. On his shield, the image of a white raven stands out brightly, while the metallic feathers on his armor indicate that this is the Seeker of Trials. His face is hidden beneath his helmet, and his sword in hand and stance speak of threat. His warhorse paws the ground impatiently at a safe distance from the anticipated battle. The Seeker of Trials will not simply let you pass. He is prepared to fight, so either he will find trouble for himself, or he will create it himself.
