Excellent work, my dude! Very entertaining story. I was never much for Arthurian legends but I love me some knight stories. I'm digging the idea of the Shattered, too. I've seen that in certain fantasy settings like in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2, although they weren't called that, and I've always dug the idea of having misshapen man-animals animated by dark sorcery or evil science. The fight scenes also flowed very well. I'm looking forward to the rest of it!
