The Most Important Question

What's your drinking cup like?

Mine is simple and bronze, like Tatbirt herself.  Daughter of the local liege, she serves as his Castellan and speaks to the castle itself.  She works hard, not that anybody notices, not that she particularly cares.  Somebody's got to build a wall around the stronghold before one of the clans comes a'knocking.  And Tatbirt's going to make sure that happens.

Mine is dark horn, bound with metal I worked myself at my family's forge. It reminds me of home and my wife and children who are far from this lonely hilltop outpost. I miss them, but the pay is good and the keep-liege is an ok guy, if a little given to grand gestures. I figure if I can stick it out through the war season, help the war-captain secure the river-ford, I'll go home with a good bit of coin. If I can keep us in arrows and sharp edges.
