A hermit who incited the local peasants against an underprivileged girl whom he accused of witchcraft. In defence of the girl stood the White Wolf with his company: Regis, the higher vampire, and Milva, the archer, who were placed in the centre of the coin. The hermit called them in for a trial by fire, saying that only a person with an impeccable heart could take out the red-hot horseshoe with his bare hand. To everyone’s surprise, the horseshoe was taken out of the fire by Regis. At that point, the camp was attacked by a Nilfgaard plunger and the entire company was scattered.
