Sir Rodney, head of the Battleschool is there in standard battledress. Halt, the mysterious ranger with the deep gaze has just snuck into the room wearing a long, mottled cloak. Nigel, the Scribemaster stands with aplomb, ready to find the next great debater to join his ranks. Master Chubb is also there, wooden ladle in hand as if he had been cooking a stew before being summoned to the Choosing. It’s all such a spectacle, and you can’t help but be nervous.
