19. What do you fear?
The death of others. Many of the faith I followed would claim "turnign traitor to all I stand for" but I have done that.

1. Your character is being announced at the Royal Ball by the most pompous, enthusiastic and long-winded Master of Ceremonies in recorded history. What do they declaim?
I cannot quite remember the correct titles... "Lord Florian Guelder" then something about what I do, but "tender of horses" is a trifle... underwhelming... Almost certainly just Florian Guelder now, perhaps with audible shocked whispering.

One half of a long story...

Be able to be about 6" taller

The holy symbols of Humact.

Some surgical tools and bandages, truely wish I had picked up the bone saw...
8. Your character's life is flashing before their eyes. Describe briefly any two of the following: Leaving their childhood home. Losing their first love. The first time they killed. The first time they lost a comrade. Another occasion on which they nearly died. A time they lowered their standards. A time they abandoned hope. Something that terrified them.

Good grief, I have absolutely no idea! Did I lose my temper?

"Caprifolia, Do not do anything stupid."
