Facing Ambrus in Blood of Dawnwalker‘s The Gilded Gauntlet quest is likely the first fight you’ll encounter with one of Brencis’s boyars. After all, this foppish Vrakhiri rules over the provinces you start exploring immediately after you leave Laslea, and is responsible for procuring blood from Vale Sangora’s, often unwilling, subjects. As with any of…
