Ballad of Sanda

The Ballad
Once upon a time, a village near Galitz was taken over by a fiendish group of squatters. The marauders desecrated the town and took its’ bountiful gifts for their own selfish desires. But one day, their evil deeds were discovered, and the church sent Sanda Foernya, a novice Paladin, to drive out the squatters. When the squatters heard of the news of an incoming Paladin, their leader Ashley staged a retreat from the village. When Sanda arrived, the town was deserted. But, ever loyal to the church and Solaris, he set up a bench on a nearby hill and waited. The fiendish squatters attempted to distract and scare away the young Paladin many times, but his loyalty remained true. After many days of hiding, the squatters returned, thinking Sanda should have left by now, but the paladin leapt from his hiding place and slew the bandits down to the last man. The village, newly liberated, still celebrates Sanda’s makeshift bench as a turning point in their local history.

Historical Background
Today, Sanda is a decorated and respected member of the Order Soleanna, and has received much praise for the successful defense and liberation of Galitz.
