The Right Weapon—A Factions story featuring the old Shopkeeper

I thought you all might enjoy this piece I wrote as a prelude to the next Factions arc. It features the old Shopkeeper. Yes, the Manbaconian. The one this new yordle put out of a job.

It's basically an overview of all the various factions of Valoran, seen from the perspective of an outsider. A previous Factions arc, Nyroth, centered on the discovery of a new continent across the ocean from Valoran, long hidden by ethereal storms and a natural distortion field; the protagonist of this piece is a Nyrothian who has come to Valoran and taken the oath of a Summoner.

I had a lot of fun writing this. I hope people here enjoy it, as well!
