Competition: The Calm before the Storm

The Calm before the Storm

War against the Collective is approaching rapidly over the horizon. There's an eerie stillness among the Brotherhood and the Clans that represents all that the Brotherhood stood for.

Write how does your character take the news of the upcoming war? Do they train? Do they drink more wine? Do they start looking up bounties and seeing how much credits they can earn if they join the Brotherhood's milita for the War?

Do they go shopping for new armor? Do they try to spend more time with their family just in case they do not get to come back home?

If you need help, I'm available to throw ideas with you!
