Rislav The Righteous

A Light Armor skill book: the overlooked prince who stood up to an emperor.

Rislav the Righteous by Sinjin tells the story of Rislav Larich, a “spare prince” of Skingrad in the First Era who barely made the history books – until he became king and defied an emperor’s army almost alone. His stand helped spark the resistance that followed, and earned him his title.
