You may get the impression from Lord Eadric that this was all my doing. I
did nothing alone. Without the tireless efforts of Iaen, Eadric, and Talmon,
none of these activities would have happened. Grazie a il mio amici. The
team effort is why Gate's Edge puts on some of the finest archery activities
in this kingdom.
