Well, the boy-knights have definitely learned one thing about Nymphs: Nymphs LOVE Sport.
And at first, the boys loved Sport too... until it became clear that this was less throw-the-ball-around-with-your-friends-and-rivals and more blood sport. Twists and turns wait behind every rule of this violent game, and one such twist is just in the distance... where the sound of great wooden wheels signals the arrival of the Nymphs' long-awaited Damsel.
Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.
