[!] The declaration was delivered to Hans Bauer himself and displayed outside Castle Holstein for all to see. [!]
The journey from squire to knight is one of grit, loyalty, and steadfast dedication.

Each squire of the Iron Star Order endures challenges designed to shape them into protectors of the Southern Hinterlands and defenders of the Empire.
This is the story of Hans Bauer, a young man of humble origins whose determination and loyalty to the Emperor and the Hinterlands saw him rise to become a true Star Knight. Under the mentorship of Ser Aloysius Löwenherz, Hans displayed a relentless drive, an unbreakable loyalty to his comrades, and a deep devotion to the Iron Star.

His success was a testament to his unwavering resolve and readiness to endure any trial for the Order and the Empire.
