A Paladin Before Rich
George’s story proves that Rich’s quest belongs to a tradition stretching far into the past. He carries a white pawn marking him as a champion of the light and completes the same kind of escalating quest system that later shapes Rich’s training.
The Legend Behind the Dragon Slayer
George’s adventures blend familiar legend with Chess Quest rules. His weapons can be shaped from enchanted spheres, his Nemesis presses him toward a premature confrontation, and even his dragon-slaying reputation becomes part of a larger story about what a knight chooses to protect.
Deep Canon · A Legend Still Fighting
St. George appears again in Rich’s era, still serving the larger Paladin cause. His presence links the short story directly to the main series and demonstrates how old knights and legendary identities can persist far beyond a single mortal lifetime.
