I am Ywain, the master of the Lancers' Guild. My charge is to oversee the training of those who seek to master the polearm. I served as a Wood Wailer until circumstances forced me to hang up my spear. It was then that I took up my post here, upon the recommendation of my former Captain. That was shortly after the Calamity. I must confess that I was none too pleased to leave the front lines at first, but with time I came to appreciate my new role, and now I would not exchange it for any other. To see young lancers fulfilling their potential is a fine thing indeed, and to know that your have helped them is finer still.
