Mouse Guard: House Foxglove

Fall is reaching its end in the Mouse Territories. Busy mice harvest and forage to fill their storerooms, trailblazers store food and supplies along the paths, and distant families journey by escort to nearby settlements before the cold snap of Winter makes travel impossible. For all of micekind, Fall is a time of haste and concluding one's affairs. For all micekind, that is, except you.

Lockhaven, the stone keep central in the mouse territories, swells with new numbers. Escorted to the city by final seasonal patrols, a swathe of new recruits eagerly await the festivities that will queue the beginning of the pursuit of their dreams: to become Mouse Guard. With bated breath, they gather in the Great Hall in wait for the ceremonial sorting into the one of the three Old Houses. Savory pies and baked morsels keep their idle hands and mouths busy, but none--not even the hungriest-- allow their attention long to leave esteemed Matriarch, Gwendolyn.

Soon, the pupils will embark upon an adventure. They will be tested and pushed to their limits. Together, they will grow-- and with the right grit, and no small portion of luck, they might one day become a part of something greater than themselves.
