Freedom

Deep in the secret heart of the forests of Kel, there is a cavern. If a brave explorer penetrates the depths, he will find a spring. It is said that whoever drinks of the spring’s water will become truly free. Next to the spring there is a quiet man with a sword. The quiet man will explain what true freedom means. If the explorer declines to drink from the fountain, the swordsman will quietly cut off his head and mark a notch in his belt.

Fifteen explorers have found the hidden cavern. The swordsman has fifteen notches on his belt.
