Year '''490''' was a common [[Years_(Pendragon_(2023))|year]] starting on Monday. This year marked the sixth year of the Pendragon Campaign, and the first year where Sir [[Oswulf]] participated in adventures.
== Events ==
==== Lincoln ====
* The Knights of the Sword took part in the Battle of Lincoln, fighting alongside the King's army against the Saxon curs led by [[Octa]] and [[Eosa]].
* The flanks were commanded by Dutchess [[Ygraine]] on the left flank, [[Uther]] at the center, and Duke [[Ulfius]] at the right flank.
* The battle was long, and hard-fought, but after several hours the Knights of the Sword saw a way to charge through to King Octa. They fought the Saxon and were able to defeat him and his bodyguards, claiming his magic axe as a trophy to present to Uther.
* After the battle, a feast was held and the Knights of the Sword were again called to tell the story of Excalibur's procurement by Merlin. They presented the axe as a gift to Uther.
* In the night following the feast, the knights encountered Prince [[Madoc]] in the hall, drunk and upset. Dame [[Runa]] comforted the man and listened to his anger at his father. Madoc revealed that Uther and [[Gorlois]] are longtime enemies, dating back to their exile in Brittany. He opined that Uther would try to steal Ygraine from Gorlois, just as he did with Madoc's mother.
==== Forest Perilous ====
* Sir [[Alaric]] and Sir [[Jaradan]] set out for the woods to try and locate Alaric's missing brother, [[Dragon]], kidnapped over the winter by Saxon raiders.
* They were able to follow the tracks into the forest, where they found several magical and mundane obstacles including the impish Wittershins, and a pack of wild boars.
* In the course of their hunt, they came upon the Questing Beast. After the creature ran away, King [[Pellinore]] arrived and requested information on its whereabouts. Alaric provided the information and was rewarded with a relic.
* Locating the encampment, the two knights fought the Saxons and rescued the young squire, though they made an enemy in [[Caedwulf]], the war chief of these Saxons.
==== Malahaut ====
* Heading north, the Knights of the Sword welcomed a new comrade, Sir Oswulf. Having previously been Dame [[Eithne]]'s squire, he had recently been knighted by Earl [[Roderick]].
* Many new faces were introduced to the Knights, including the Centurion King [[Heraut]] of Malahaut, King [[Lot]] of Lothian, and King [[Nentres]] of Garloth.
==== London ====
* Gorlois and Ygraine were kept as prisoners of courtesy all year, culminating in the Christmas Court.
* In the dead of night, the Knights of the Sword found the Cornish escaping with the aid of a mysterious woman in a white gown, and a sudden snowstorm that came from nothing and blocked the trail.
* Sir Oswulf tried to follow, but was nearly lost in the weather and was forced to turn back. Uther, furious, has promised there will be war for this insult to his hospitality.
