As they journeyed towards the Silverlight Citadel, Cronn was filled with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. He had heard tales of the citadel, a magnificent fortress that stood atop a towering cliff, overlooking the vast expanse of Kormoranth. It was said to be a place of honor, duty, and the embodiment of the paladin way.

The paladins, including Sir Alaric, treated Cronn kindly. They taught him the importance of their code: to protect the innocent, uphold justice, and fight against the forces of darkness. Cronn's days were filled with rigorous training in swordsmanship, combat tactics, and the healing arts. The knights instructed him in the ways of honor and chivalry, and they instilled in him a strong sense of duty to the people of Kormoranth.

Cronn's fellow squires quickly became like brothers to him. Among them was a boy named Liam, whose father had been a paladin, and Elian, who possessed a talent for archery that surpassed even some of the knights. Together, they faced countless challenges, forged bonds of friendship, and strived to live up to the ideals of the Silverlight Order.

As months turned into years, Cronn's skills improved, and he grew into a reputable squire. He was dedicated, loyal, and unwavering in his pursuit of becoming a true paladin. Yet, his heart still ached for his family back in Hilldale. He wrote letters to them, sharing his experiences and letting them know he was safe and thriving, but he missed their warm embraces and the simple joys of his childhood.
