Kaedas rose early, washed and donned his black robes. Today was exceptionally cold so he chose one of his warmer robes; one with fur trim and extra padding to keep in the warmth. He headed to the upper floor food hall; where he claimed a few slices of grain bread and a bowl of local fruits mixed into a porridge. Once he'd had his fill he placed his bowl into a basket, that would be collected later and cleaned by the kitchen servants, and headed to the main courtyard.
Once outside, Kaedas was forced to raise his hood to protect against the biting wind and headed towards the Main Gate where, he was sure, some of the recruits were already waiting.
He was pleasantly surprised by the small group of templars, warlocks and demons present. The one thing he did not expect was to see the Grand Warlock standing there, resolute against the chill air, not blinking but staring at the wrought-iron gate. No wait, he's not staring at it - he's staring BEYOND it!
