Unlike typical fantasy heroes, Henry is remarkably human. He cannot read, he is clumsy with a sword, and he has never ridden a horse. His journey through the lands of Rattay and Sasau is one of grueling self-improvement. He earns his keep by joining the service of Sir Radzig, performing tasks that range from investigating a gruesome massacre at a stud farm to infiltrating a monastery as a monk. Each choice he makes—whether to solve problems with a silver tongue or a mace—shapes the man he becomes. The DLC Chapters: Expanding the Legend
