You Shall Not Pass! | |
| Otto of the Silver Hand / int_3b0479f2 | comment |
You Shall Not Pass!: Conrad and a group of his followers are fleeing Trutz-Drachen with the injured Otto, pursued by Baron Henry and his knights. Henry catches up with them near a bridge. Conrad sends his followers ahead with Otto but stays behind to hold the bridge. In the ensuing battle, Conrad kills several knights before Henry attacks him one-on-one. The two struggle, then both fall into the stream and are drowned by their heavy armor. The other knights see no reason to keep pursuing Otto when Henry was the one with a grudge against the Vuelphs, so they go back to Trutz-Drachen, allowing Otto and his followers to travel to St. Michaelsburg in peace. | |

Would Hurt a Child | |
| Otto of the Silver Hand / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: When Conrad struck the blow that killed Frederick, Henry swore an oath that no Vuelph that left his hands would ever be able to strike such a blow again. It makes no difference if a Vuelph is eleven years old, so Henry cuts off Otto's right hand. | |

Chimney Entry | |

Chimney Entry: Once One-eyed Hans gets into the antechamber in Trutz-Drachen, he climbs up the chimney. Then he comes to a place where another chimney joins the one he's in, so he goes down that chimney. He comes down into the kitchen, black with soot. A startled scullion boy yells "It is the evil one!" and runs out of the kitchen. | |

Last Request | |
| Otto of the Silver Hand / int_d6618014 | comment |
Last Request: At the beginning of the book, Conrad is a robber baron who orders his knights to attack merchant caravans that pass by Drachenhausen. Matilda begs him to stop, but he doesn't listen to her until after her death. Her last words to him were "For my sake, do not go this time." He never robs another caravan. However, he refuses to give up his life of violence and vows to get revenge on the Roderburgs. | |
