The Legend of Prince Valiant

Val, Am and Rowanne visit the village of Serenity, where as a young girl Rowanne spent time with her family. Serenity is no longer as peaceful as Rowanne remembers it, for a feudhas broken out between the town's long-time residents, and the "newcomers" the Lusitains. The old-timers, including Rowanne's cousin, Karl, have developed a deep-seated jealousy and resentment for the success of the Lusitains, who have gotten ahead through hard work. When Val asks several long-time residents about the Black Cowls, hooded hooligans who terrorize the Lusitains, he is given only tight-lipped responses. Later, he is knocked out cold by a brutal band of hooded men.
