Congratulations on your acceptance to the Apprentice Academy, one of the world's finest institutions for knightly education. Your course of study here will prepare you for a career as a knight-or a samurai, Viking, paladin, or really any type of sword-swinging warrior. Swords are inherently dangerous, but this guide will help you complete your education while minimizing the twin risks of 1. getting maimed, and 2. working too hard. Learn how to: Fight people!, Fight dragons!, Fight giants!, Fight monsters!, Fight everything else!, Go on quests!, Die!, And more!, Please follow all instructions carefully. If you go off on your own, try something silly, and get your head chopped off or your body bitten in two, don't start drafting a letter of complaint. You had fair warning.
