Good to know
- He has a hideout: a camp in the woods northwest of Lunar Manor.
- To free him, tell the guards to step aside, beat them, then say you won't let anyone hurt him.
- Freeing him opens the sub-quest Catalin's Tutor.
- Ask him to teach you and he challenges you to a duel.
- The Old Hand pillory takes about 3 time segments to complete.
Who they are
Baltzer is a veteran fighter Bakir's men have put on public display to be drained. Guides call his pillory Old Hand, which fits a man who still knows his way around a blade.
Where you meet them
You find him in the pillory outside Lunar Manor in Bakir's lands. Once he's free, look for his camp in the woods to the northwest.
Why help him
Saving him is the way into Catalin's Tutor, which ends with access to a Swordmastery teacher. Guides disagree on whether you duel Baltzer or Catalin for it, so expect a fight either way.
