*A figure walks down the main road towards town. It wears a set of brightly polished, high quality light armour with a bastard sword rattling by its side. Under the armour it is dressed all in black, boots of fine leather, trousers and tunic. Over the armour it wears an ankle length cloak of pure white, now pulled around itself against the elements. A matching hood covers it's face in shadow. It slows to a stop at the gates to the city.*
