My name is Duke. Duke Grandfather. And for years, I was the best at what I did. From the moment I first saw the barbarian and what he did to the goblin, my course was set. I loved my life and the freedom I had to sleep late and drink ale whenever I wanted. Then that dwarf changed everything. . . Well, change was overdue anyway, and-as a bonus-it led me to the attention of Lilly. And she changed my life even more than the dwarf had. Orcs in love, elder beings, and rogue witches' brooms. I've seen it all. I've even had to kill a friend. Pull up a chair. Buy me an ale or three and, in return, I'll tell you all about it.
