A Black Templar Chronicle
Ash & Oath
Set down here are the deeds of Brother Mathias Reinhart, sworn of the Black Templars. The Chapter keeps its great victories; these are the hours between. Each account holds to a single vow, and the ground on which it was kept or broken.
Read them in any order; the ash settles the same way.
