Sable Meridian — Eclipse Wolf Knights Character Sheet

The story of Sable Meridian

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

The sword captain of Sable Meridian has a dent in her shield that she refuses to polish out. It fits the head of a small iron nail on the north gate. On moonless nights she can press the shield against the wood and find the opening by touch, even when sleet has frozen her eyelashes together.

During an eclipse the six wolf knights patrol the road in pairs. One pair walks toward the city while another walks away. The third stays at the gate and counts footsteps. Armor makes a different sound on each stretch of road, from the hollow boards of the bridge to the gravel under the orchard wall.

Tonight the count comes up one short. The knight with the globe on his staff hears a buckle knocking under the bridge. A messenger has slipped down the bank and is holding on to an exposed root. The wolves lower a spear shaft, and she climbs out with both boots full of icy mud.

In this character sheet, silver crescents repeat across round shields, while the knights’ weapons and cloaks distinguish their roles. Before the messenger leaves, she asks to see the dent that guided them back. The captain takes off one gauntlet and lets her trace it with a finger.
