Hademar's Household
Hademar Half-Dwarf had lost two fingers and half a leg to war. Yet he deemed himself fortunate, for when peace had come the Baron had granted him several acres of fertile land and a few heads of cattle.
This enabled him to marry his long-time sweetheart.
They were blessed with five healthy and hard-working daughters.
And for years their little farm kept thriving nicely.
Until one day an old friend of his, a former brother in arms, showed up at the gates with a frightened young girl. An orphan, he said. A poor little thing he had rescued from brigands.
They talked about the old times, they talked about their fallen fellows and about the ones who lived, and his comrade soon talked Hademar into welcoming the girl in his household.
And while he welcomed her with warm words and open arms, Hademar felt deep in his heart that this meant trouble for his farm and his family.
