"Being a knight is tough work, especially if that includes working as one of the queen’s personal guards. Especially if the queen is currently facing the anger of an entire country for a particular decision which might very well change the future for everyone under her rule. But there’s a side that only those closest to her get to see- someone like her personal guard.

Late evening, in the beginning of fall. Temperatures are beginning to dwindle and reach towards the zero-mark as people start to prepare for yet another harsh couple of months. A devastating turn of events has backed the country into a corner, leaving the ruler with only desperate measures to turn the tide. "

This was the longest video I have EVER made. It took a solid ten hours to translate using four different online dictionaries. It's technically Grelvish (the fake elvish they used for the movies) since my translation is bad, and I had to substitute other words from Quenya, Noldorin or fan-made words not written by Tolkien whenever Sindarin left me high and/or dry.

The captioning was done by my wonderful wife, making this the first video ever edited by another person on my channel as well as the first video she's ever edited. Which meant that editing this thing also took another ten or so hours.

The cheerful tavern music was envisioned by me as being the music still being played outside, and it is from the Witcher 3, specifically being the Gwent BGM. The art is the Samurai from Final Fantasy 14. I'm aware my Sindarin (translating and speaking) is not good, but this was excellent practice. Perhaps I'll try again.
