The Citadel of Whispers

"You were only ten years old when the Whisperers came to your village looking for candidates. Their identity, like their work, is secret and unknown to most of the people who live in Elaria, a mountainous land of difficult terrain surrounded by vast oceans that few, if any, have crossed. You, Krishi, were tapped by a man disguised as a peddler and poet to join the Whisperers at the Citadel, and train in their arts of magic and combat. You are still new in your training when a mysterious new student arrives in the port, bringing with him news of imminent war."--
