Une dernière chose doit cependant être tentée. Une folie, à la hauteur de cette situation désespérée. Chaque nation, chaque territoire a ainsi désigné son champion. Certains sont des sages, des savants, ou des dévots. D’autres sont des mercenaires, des aventuriers ou des chevaliers. Il y a même des rois et des reines...
