Sabres of Infinity takes place in the Infinite Sea, a fantasy setting possessed of functional magic, among other extraordinary phenomena. It is a setting where wealth, class, gender, allegiance, and birth restrict a person's role in society. Its magical and social politics are not consistent with stories starring protagonists whose experiences are largely identical regardless of class or s-3-x.

Thus, the player character is required to be a young man of noble birth, for purely pragmatic reasons. Characters of other genders and social classes would have their own, radically different stories to tell, but those stories are for another time.

The great central chamber of the Old Fortress is a hive of activity. Staff officers and their aides move about in self-centred trajectories. A team of clerks push counters and check notes written on the maps which sit atop the tables in the centre of the room. On the wall above them, an oil portrait of the Duke of Cunaris, the regimental commander, peers down beneficently upon his flesh-and-blood subordinates.

While it would probably be a good idea to report to your future commanding officer immediately, it might also do to take a look around and familiarize yourself with the fortress. You:

A.Report in immediately. I should try to make a good impression on my superiors first.

B. Observe the men training outside. I might be able to pick up some pointers.

C.Try to talk to some of the other junior officers and get some advice.

You climb up the stairs and find a balcony from which to observe the Dragoons drilling in the courtyard. Despite their pretensions to being a full-blooded cavalry unit, you can see that the Royal Dragoons primarily train to fight on foot. Most of the men below are honing their marksmanship with short flintlock carbines or drilling in formations that make them seem more like a team of huntsmen than one of the tightly packed, disciplined formations of the line infantry.

After about half an hour of keen observation, you decide to report in to Captain Montez before your tardiness becomes especially egregious.

Captain Montez's office smells of old leather and stale coffee. The man himself is a small, pinch-faced fellow. A pair of spectacles balance atop the bridge of his short, stubby nose. He looks up from the paperwork stacked on his polished oak desk with a look of acute annoyance.

"You are late," he scowls.

You:

A.Try to offer some excuse explaining my lateness.

B.Sit in sullen silence.

C.Apologize as profusely as I can. Perhaps I can still salvage this fiasco.

Montez will have none of it. His imperious glare deflates your attempt to explain yourself. You shut yourself up before you find yourself in even more trouble.

You hand over your commission papers and orders. Montez scans over them quickly, his eyes darting back and forth behind his steel-rimmed spectacles. the Captain picks up a waiting quill pen and signs the papers with a fluid hand, making your commission fully official. Dropping the documents in a drawer, he shuffles through another pile of papers atop his desk, pulling one out.

"I am afraid that we shall need to go through a few formalities first, for the record, you understand." Montez picks up the quill pen again, ready to write.

"Given name?"

"Very well then, Lucius d'al Maximus, shall we take a moment to clarify a few facts about your early life and origins?"

The Unified Kingdom of Tierra is nominally ruled by the sixteen year-old King Miguel of House Rendower. Advising him are his Privy Council, men of high birth and enormous power: namely, the official heads of the army, fleet, civil service and intendancy, or home office. Below them sit the Cortes, composed of the heads of the hundreds of noble houses that make up the bulk of the Tierran aristocracy.

The Cortes provides the greatest check to the king's power: the ability to vote on the royal budget. While the King can give decrees without restraint, only the Cortes can vote him the money to carry them out.

The members of these two bodies are the titled members of baneblooded noble houses like your own, each with unique positions in a complex feudal system of obligations and privileges. Through quirks of history or by the vagaries of fealty, Tierra itself is divided into several culturally distinct regions.

Which of these regions is your family from?

A.The North, the economic powerhouse of Tierra, a land of iron mines and mills.

B.The Western Coast, stormswept and desolate, home to tough tides and tough men.

C.The Eastern Plains, where Fernandescourt stands. Home to some of the best horsemen in the Unified Kingdom.

D.Aetoria, the capital city, a centre of culture and education.

You grew up smelling the salt spray of the Takaran Sea. The rocky shores and winter storms of western Tierra have made you tough and hardbitten, but a hard life leads to a commonality with your follow westerners. From Havenport in the south to the northwestern island of Leoniscourt, the locals are happy enough to welcome you as a brother of the salt coast.


Your family is nobility of an old, but relatively impoverished line, dating from before the days of Edwin the Strong. Although your house's material fortunes have waned over the past few decades, your family still bears a proud name and represents a fair amount of influence and capital.

Your house still owns a substantial estate, where you were born, educated and raised in a state of some privilege. Perhaps you had always wanted to be a soldier, perhaps the notion had not occurred to you until recently. Nonetheless, it was the recent news of the war with Antar that spurred you to action. At what age did you make your fateful decision to join the Dragoons?

A.Age 14.

B.Age 18.

C.Age 25.

D.Age 30.

That's certainly a good age for an officer's commission. With a comprehensive education under your belt and the best years of your adulthood still in front of you, you can look forward to a long and promising career.

While your family may not have enthusiastically supported your decision to go to war, they understood the necessity of sending at least one of their sons to fight for King and Country. As a result, you left home with your mother's blessing and your father's grudging pride. In addition, they presented you with a parting gift:

A. A banecast sword, with a blade sharper than any normal steel.

B. A custom-made uniform, which will make me stand out in a crowd.

C. A set of books on philosophy and the natural sciences.

D. A letter of introduction to the colonel of the regiment, praising my talents.

E. A letter of credit worth a substantial amount of money.

The exquisite sabre your father gifted you had been in the family for six generations, a gift from one of the first kings of Tierra. Its flawless Callindrian steel blade is razor-sharp and diamond-hard, forged in flames made hotter than any mundane furnace by one of the finest baneweavers of the era.

Armed with your gifts, you left home and bought your commission in the capital city of Aetoria, at Grenadier Square, the stately headquarters of the Royal Army. There, you learned that commissions for more prestigious regiments like the Grenadier Guards and the Wolf's Head Cuirassiers had been in such high demand that their prices had been inflated far beyond your meagre monetary means.

The best you could afford was a cornet's commission in the Royal Dragoons. It is hardly the most celebrated of regiments, but its rank-and-file are no band of thieves and thugs like the line infantry regiments either. Your new posting promises to be a respectable, if not an overly prestigious one.

You finish recounting the story of your circumstances to Captain Montez. Satisfied, he hands the complete dossier over to you for your signature.

"It is done then. Welcome to the Royal Dragoons, Cornet Maximus. Your dormitory room is the third on the left. You shall be sharing it with two other cornets: Cazarosta and Elson. They have been in training for a few weeks already, so learn what you can from them. Your equipment and uniform shall be sent up to your room. You will, of course, be allowed to keep any personal additions to kit, as long as they conform to uniform regulations."


"Your training begins tomorrow morning. Reveille is at six o'clock sharp. You are dismissed."

At first glance, your new lodging is hardly suitable for a man of noble birth. The chamber in which you will be sleeping for the duration of your training is a cramped and dusty affair, poorly lit and heavily built. The low, vaulted ceiling is just battered and worn enough to remind you of a prison cell. The acrid reek of old gunpowder clings to every surface.

You see a boy, and he looks up at you.





"Oh, hello." he says, his voice hard and flat. "Who are you?"

A."Cornet Lucius d'al Maximus, at your service."

B."I am Cornet Maximus, your new room mate."

C."I am Lucius d'al Maximus and I will not take such rudeness from you."

The boy sits back, his mouth set in a grim line.

There is silence for a moment, he looks at you with some annoyance, as if you had failed some secret test of character he had set for you. "How wonderful for you." He says, sarcastically.

He introduces himself bluntly: "Caius d'al Cazarosta. Was there anything else?"



A.I beg pardon for my percieved rudeness.

B.What a rude fellow! I wait for him to apologize for his crudeness!

The boy nods curtly and seems to grudgingly accept your apology.

"See that it doesn't happen again. We are all gentlemen here, so I must assume you must come from a background of some refinement. I would not consider it too much of a strain for you to act like it."

With that, the boy returns the now-clean pistol to its holster at his belt, before pulling out a second and beginning to work it over with the same air of detatched sangfroid he had possessed before.

The door swings open again. A small pale boy in his late teens strides through. His sandy blond hair is dishevelled and his alabaster skin covered with bruises and scrapes, some half-healed and some fresh. He is filthy all over; dirt and sweat are heavily smeared over his fine features.

"That would be Elson, Lord Davis d'al Elson, first son to the Baron of Hawthorne," he says, just loud enough for the other boy to hear. "Associate with him as you would like, but do not expect me to weep with you, should your poor idiot friend get himself killed."


Elson lays down on his cot and makes a conscious effort to ignore the two of you. He fishes out a small, well-worn book from the pocket of his trousers and begins to read. You realize that now would be a good time to try to get to know your room mates. Although Elson is now (at least pretending to be) fully engrossed by his book, you still have Cazarosta's full attention, and perhaps, his friendship. Do you:




A.Ask Cazarosta about Elson's bruises.

B.Ask Cazarosta about Elson's book.

C.Ask Cazarosta about himself.

D.I excuse myself and get some sleep before tomorrow's training.

Cazarosta explains that Elson's upbringing gave him little time to practice horsemanship.

"Elson was given the frivolous education of an idle gentleman. He can recount histories and faerie-stories beyond number, but he has very little practical ability or intelligence. After all, instead of finding something he was good at and exceling there, he insists on forcing himself to become a .competent equestrian or die horribly in the attempt."

A.Ask Cazarosta about Elson's book.

B.Ask Cazarosta about himself.

C.I excuse myself and get some sleep before tomorrow's training.
