Events

Runa, Eithne, and Alaric were knighted by Earl Roderick, having reached the age of 21. Dame Elad vouched for their good service, having sent them on a mission to hunt a man-eating bear a few months prior near the village of Imber.
The three squires had accomplished the task by killing the bear, and properly identified that the beast was fae in origin, actually a sort of selkie that had been trapped in the bear form. The trio took the head and paws of the creature as trophies and proof of their story, allowing the peasants to keep the hide in a most generous action.

The Battle of Mearcred Creek was fought, which was largely viewed as a draw by the participants. Both Saxons and Britons pulled back and left the area, unable to find a decisive advantage in the fight. Sir Alaric, Dame Runa, and Dame Eithne fought in the battle, their first skirmish as true knights. Dame Eithne was the commander of their unit, and they fought under Sir Amig.
Many of Uther's vassals did not arrive as requested, most notably Duke Gorlois of Cornwall. Sir Madoc led Uther's forces in the King's absence, and was witnessed to be frustrated by the insolence of Gorlois.
