Kapitel 231: The House of Shadows

Arran arrived at the House of Shadows just after dawn, a good half hour before his training was supposed to start.

He had awoken two hours earlier, intent on not being late on his first visit to another House. While being late on his first day in the House of Flames had caused him no problems, he had no wish to further test his luck.

The road from the House of Swords had been easy to follow — straight north to the capital, then further north to the House of Shadows. There were plenty of people on the road despite the early hour, many of them traveling to and from the capital.

This time, Arran did not stand out as much as before. It seemed that unlike the House of Flames, the House of Shadows had no specific dress code. Most of the people he saw near the House of Shadows wore subdued colors, but other than that, nothing about their appearance announced their House.
