Book 2 Character Intro - Erkin

As a sword master, Erkin oversees the training of the recruits at the sword palace. He started as a novice and rose to second in command, looking after the place when their leader was gone, which had become quite common lately. His brown eyes read another list of provision they would need to acquire. This role could be exhausting, the endless tedious work of making sure everyone was fed, warm and content. His hand rests on the metal handle of his sword, even though he isn’t that old, his thoughts ponder about moving on, finding something new, somewhere he could relax and let others worry about things.
