Summary
“Penumbra (n.) — a part of a shadow where the light is not wholly gone, used especially of the half-shadow cast during an eclipse.”
Evil does not reproduce; it perfects itself. And the Lord does not halt wheels that men themselves insist on turning.
Some would argue whether Henry pushed or István leapt. But they should note, perhaps, that God kept His silence as ever.

This work is a large-scale István Tóth bildungsroman covering 1372–1403 and is intended as a hypothetical prequel to his main KCD narrative.

Summary
His men, his horse, his weapons, his armor; all gone. He thought that there was something to him beyond all that, some undeniable part of him that told the world he was Sir Hans Capon of Pirkstein, but it was nothing but a yellow crest and a sword at his hip.
·•—–٠✤٠—–•·
Hans Capon is literally fine, and he definitely didn't leave anything of importance behind in Troskowitz.

Summary
“You’re stupidly bold,” Hans says, and Henry’s smile widens until his nose wrinkles as he replies, “And do you like that?”
“Maybe.”
As he slips into his hose, Henry’s voice behind him starts low then rises, as though during the act of saying the thing, he finds some more boldness to push him through to the end of the sentence, “Then next time, you’ll have an answer besides maybe.”
Next time. A shiver runs through Hans that he hides in the process of throwing his pourpoint around his shoulders. “Next time,” he says, and starts higher than he ends, losing his own boldness halfway through.
It starts at the bathhouse, a drunken mistake, and then continues, and continues, and continues. KCD1 scenes reimagined with more intentional Hansry.

Summary
"And do you know what the worst thing is, Radzig?" Hanush moans.
It must have been at least the third 'worst thing' so far, but Radzig doesn't dispute it. At least not aloud. Turning his own cup on the table, entertaining himself with the long legs left by the wine, he indulges Hanush's dramatics, "What's that, my friend?"
In 1412, Hanush of Leipa is forced by the king to surrender his holdings to Hans Capon of Pirkstein. After his self-imposed exile from Rattay, he seeks refuge in the castle of one Radzig Kobyla.
