The Earl Orwaine

It was an epic year, 524 AD. The Weeping Sir Orwaine led a small force into the county of Rydychan to overthrow the foul usurper Sir Basil and his followers. Aided by his longtime companion and friend, Sir Sisbert; the young and brash Sir Rhun, the pious White Knight, and the Family Ding Dong, Sir Orwaine forced his way into the Castle Wallingford before felling the vile Sir Basil.
As the winter nights grew long, Sir Orwaine married the Lady Fee Fluries, was ennobled as the new Earl of Rydychan, bestowed a seige at the Table round. No longer a simple Companion of Arthur, Earl Orwaine would sit as a Brother and equal among the greatest knights in the land.
But as the spring thaw grew near, the Roman Tribune came seeking tribute and preparations for a new war went quickly into action. Orwaine's love of Arthur overcame his hospitality as he was physically restrained to keep from charging the Roman cur. Despite his anger, with a new county to oversee, Earl Orwaine choose to stay behind to oversee and protect the kingdom of Logres.
As the first signs of spring began showing, our new Earl began his progress of his lands only to hear news that one of his watchtowers was burnt. Dispatching Sisbert, the newly ennobled Baronnet of Oxford, the young Ganis man Tulga, and the young Salisbury Baronnet, Sir Bermaine of Up Avon.
Riding swiftly to the the watchtower our three young knights, encountered 5 knights of Lambor. In the quickly expanding forest sauvage, things were not as they seemed; convinced our three young knights were the enemy from Wuerensis, the dishonorable Sir Horspool of Lambor broke his word and overmatched our three knights, taking them captive and returning to Lambor.
Luckily Bermaine's two squires fled to our lord Orwaine to report of the treachery. Enraged and fearing for his closest friend, Sir Sisbert; Earl Orwaine stopped his progress and traveled immediately to the Baron of Lambor to negotiate his men's freedom. After failing to convince the Baron of the mistake, Orwaine pledged to pay the ransom, but to avenge his brother's defeat, he challenged the vile Horspool to a duel. Risking his life and capture, Orwaine met Horspool lance to lance.
By the second pass, Orwaine's lance struck deep, but the champion of Lambor would not surrender, instead facing Orwaine's third lance. The third struck true and deep, slaying Horspool before he fell to the ground. A round table knight is not one to take lightly, even one beginning to show the signs of age.
Winter court was not a happy one for our Earl of Rydychan, without his closest friend, Sisbert, he went to his King Arthur for justice. The King, fearful of war between his counties while making preparations for war on the continent; the King forced Earl Orwaine to pledge he would not seek to take Lambor.
Agreeing to, but not satified that justice was done, our Earl Orwaine returned from Camelot to plot his vengence!
