The former Maverick Hunter leader known as Signas approached the silver gates
of Viorar. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Ah, finally here. Maybe my luck will
change for once." Noting the curious lack of sunlight, Signas chalked it up
with the piles of other unexplained phenomena, figuring that stranger things
have probably happened, here.

Once inside the city, Signas managed to get the attention of one of the
citizens of the city; a young Saiyan man in laborer's clothes. "You there, ah,
who governs this province?" "What? Uh. I'm not sure what you mean by
'govern', but the council of guild leaders tends to be in charge in this
city."
Signas nodded. "And, uh, where might I be able to find this council?" The
saiyan pointed towards a large, tree-shaped building to the north. "Phbtt, one
of the upper floors of the library, I'm not completely sure." Signas's gaze
rested on the impressive structure for a moment. "Ah. Thanks." "No
problem." Signas continued his journey through the city, towards the Library.

(some time later)

Signas kneeled before the council, not sure of the proper gestures to use in
this part of the world, but making a reasonable guess. "I am Andre Signas..
former Supreme General of the Maverick Hunters." He was cut off by a green-
obed Hylian. "Yes, but what do you want?" Signas rose to his feet, composing
himself before saying his piece, which he had practiced some time ago.
"As I have said, I am a General.. but one without an army." He figured
that now was no time to cover the truth. "I was betrayed by part of my forces,
and the remainder was annihilated. I've come here, well, in search of
employment. In exchange for a company of soldiers, I will swear fealty to you,
and pledge to protect this city and its interests." The council immediately
descended into mumuring and conversation. One, the same green-clad hylian, said
"Leave us for a moment, this requires some thought."
