Binôtu Kodûl, a young scout and messenger from the rural village of Rî-Hemer in the Malstefnê Nation, rides wearily into Notôlhof after a long journey from the Dragonspan Mountains, carrying urgent messages from Lord Ôlisbenar for King Trefifân. Reflecting on his life as the fifth son of a farming family, forced into military service due to economic hardship and conscription, Binôtu muses on how his path might have differed had siblings died young, sparing him from battles he cares little about. His role as a scout keeps him from frontline dangers, and he anticipates a warm ale and rest upon entering the city’s military quarter. However, his optimism turns to horror when Captain Hûlm, after inspecting the messages, traps Binôtu and his party in the gatehouse. Drenched in oil and ignited by a torch, Binôtu’s final moments are consumed by searing pain and screams, unaware that the Wraith of Qwôhar orchestrated their deaths to eliminate a perceived threat, leaving him a tragic pawn in a larger scheme.
