Sister
of the Lake
By Paul Smith
Throughout the Country of
Bretonnia are small sects of female warriors who are the
protectors of the Lady of the Lake. They have sworn their lives
to defending the Lady and her country from all forms of evil, be
it War, pestilence or greed. The sisters do not stick to the
rules laid down by Bretonnian traditions and learn the use of
magic These nuns are rarely seen in groups of more than about
three as they are a lonely order that shuns companionship. They
believe that to dedicate your life to the service of the Lady
they must give up everything. To this extent they rarely have
much in the way of possessions, the clothes they wear on their
backs, a weapon with which they defend the Lady and their armour.
