Sieghard

"Adelbert..." Sieghard said, grabbing the scribe's shoulder to stop him "It may be that you and your boy are the only survivors of Ravenskird."

He paused and took his hand off of Adelbert's shoulder. "We didn't see any smoke until morning. Long after you said they took the town." He lowered his voice. "If the Jarl razed the town, he clearly had no use for it. Why would he? His land is far from here, he wouldn't be able to hold it. And if he doesn't need the town, he certainly doesn't need the people. I don't think you realize just how lucky you are even to be alive."
