| Duke of Dacia, Hand of the King of Brinn. |
"The Hand" |
1153 (46) |
The Usurper owes his crown to Marten's money and men, and Marten isn't like to let him forget it any time soon. He opppresses the folk of the Dacian Marches, ever rebellious, and doubly so against the Usurper's Friend. They call him "The Hand" not because of his official title, but because he is the hand that makes "the puppet" (i.e. the Usurper) dance. | |
