Whereabouts

Midddle Kingdom, Pentamere Region, Shire of Talonval
Greetings! Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Zygmunt Nadratowski, a trusted Porucznik of Hetman Jan Zamoyski, of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. On his behalf, I serve as a liaison with the Crown of the Middle Kingdom in Their Shire of Talonval, where I make my home when I visit the Laurel Kingdoms.

I was educated at the Jagiellon University in Krakow for three years, and finished with three years at the University of Padua. Thanks to that, I am literate in Latin, Greek and of course Polish, and passable in Italian. I know a small bit of Arabic, which helps me communicate with those I come in contact with from The Porte (the Ottoman Empire). Po

During my time at University I became acquainted with the Arte of Defense, studying under masters who followed the syle of Di Grassi and Saviolo. It was similar to my Szabla training (which I have done since a child). You may find me throughout the northeastern reaches of the Middle Kingdom, and quite often wherever else its Crown visits. Among varied interests I enjoy music, informing others of the culture of my Homeland, cooking, horseback riding, and the form of eskermir à plaisance, using wooden batons, peculiar to the Laurel Kingdoms.
