"'As long as my standard remains, I shall be with you.' This oath, given by Loric Targonor at the Battle of Widow's Veil, prevented the rout and destruction of the emerging kingdom by inspiring a hard-fought victory, one which finally pushed the marauders back beyond the Territories. To this day, flying the Standard of Targonor pays homage to the greatest hero to rise out of this dark period in history."
