'I have heard about you, Name. You are here to help me prepare leather to be used in the making of armour for the Falcon-clan?

Rhus grins at your nod of assent.

'Tanning is a complex and lengthy process, but so is the business of war; I began to prepare much of this leather some days ago. But we will need more.

'On the far side of the lake you will find oxen. I need tough skin from one of them. Make sure it is suitable before you return to me!'

Background
