Sorry, one more point on Sir Gilman (warning: massive spoilers)


Sir Gilman CHOSE exile from his home to the rotten downside.

He was defending his land, but his commanding officer and his cohorts fleed from battle like cowards. Sir Gilman stayed and fight, but only chose to be exiled because he lost the battle.

When you meet him, he realizes you are all good folk and devotes 100% of his loyalty to you. But he feels he is not good enough for you. He tries and tries, and he may even win a rite, but he feels he has to keep trying to be worthy to you.

So *if* you are able to liberate him and free him...
