1571. The Holy Roman Empire.
Dietrich Stahl was the finest student of Joachim Meyer, the fencing master who dared to teach the sword to common men. When his master is murdered by the guild that guards that privilege, Dietrich avenges him on a frozen road in the Lewitz forest, and is shot dead for his trouble by a coward with a pistol.
He wakes in a forest of impossible size, face to face with a griffon.
Egrys is a kingdom of monsters and magic, where adventurers harvest cores from the beasts of the deep woods, and where it is a crime for a commoner to hold a sword. Rescued by an orc with the heart of a knight and a fire mage who gave up a noble name for love, Dietrich finds a new purpose: to bring the art of the sword to the people who were never meant to have it.
What to Expect:
Historical swordsmanship meets frontier fantasy.
Real, grounded fencing technique.
Good food, bad ale, and an orc who just desperately wants a proper sword.
