Episode I: A Funeral
Vargheim Graveyard, Vargheim Manor, Howlgard

As his father's remains were laid to rest, Anton Vargheim IV stood solemnly while his pregnant wife, Deanna, and three children - Ryan, Bryan and Atheia - wept. He didn't know much about the circumstances surrounding Anton Vargheim III's death, but he did know this: there was no turning back. He was now the head of the House of Vargheim, and so the mayor of Howlgard.

After the ceremonies ended and the gaping hole before the headstone was filled, Deanna, Ryan, Bryan and Atheia returned inside for the post-funeral formalities. Anton remained outside to mourn for his former guide. He dropped to his knees and began to cry.

"Father," he sobbed. "If you can hear me, I'd like to thank you for everything. You've taught me everything I know. You've guided me through my life. You've been an excellent father... and grandfather. I just hope that you'll continue to guide me... somehow. I pray for your assistance. I love you, father."

He stood up, sniffed, wiped the tears off his face, recomposed himself, and walked inside.
