It had been some time since he had gotten 'off the ground', so to speak, and he was unused to being so far from Lower Tavick now. He had been given a chance to ride the Lightning Rail, but he decided to forgo it. It wasn't like the long walk would tire him, and he was interested in seeing the towers and the people along the way.<br/><br/>The inhabitants of Sharn gave him mixed looks as he walked the streets, some of curiosity, some of disdain, but Shard took no note of it. He was used to this sort of reaction by now, people viewing him as a novelty or an unwanted remnant of a darker time. He could not even remember the War, yet some people would lay the burden of it on him. Then again, maybe they weren't wrong, it wasn't as if Shard knew what his role in that had been.<br/><br/>He arrived rather early to the university, and took some time to explore the area around it. This had not been his first time in the Upper Wards, but it was still quite an impressive sight. Towers thrusting up into the sky like spears trying to pierce Siberys's belly. Nearby was the Great Hall of Aureon, which he remembered being told at some point was the birthplace of his kind. He was intrigued by it, but he had decided to let his past go some time past. Whoever he once was, wherever he came from, those details didn't change who he was now.<br/><br/>Shard saluted the Captain as he approached, and waited for the rest of the group to arrive. His eyes passed over the Captain and his attendants, as well as the three companions that joined him. When the Captain finished his introduction, Shard spoke up:<br/><br/><strong>"I am called Shard, a guardsman from Lower Tavick's Landing. I look forward to serving with you,"</strong>he addressed both his new companions and the captain.
