Description
The Forest Watches
Syr Nemor dwelt beneath the canopy, where the trees rose tall as towers and light speared in endless shifting patterns. His greatest weapon was the forest itself — concealing and revealing at his will. Enemies who sought him found only silence, until he fell upon them like a crashing branch.
Curiously, his colours were burning red — a defiant taunt bright against the endless wood, striking fear into all who glimpsed scarlet flashing among the green. And upon his shield stood the tree: ancient, rooted, steadfast. He was not a knight of fortresses or walls, but of vast hidden strength, drawn from roots that ran deeper than any rival could imagine.
In his day he carried his power far beyond the woodland borders, into the mightiest lands where emperors, princes, and lords thought themselves untouchable. Yet Syr Nemor’s banner rose above them all.
His people knew him as sentinel, for the forest ever watches. To those who opposed him he was a shifting dread — never certain where he stood, only certain that he was there. And to this day his legacy endures: red upon green, shadow against light, the silent strength of the forest made man.
So stands Syr Nemor, whose triumphs are carved into the memory of kings.
