== Events ==
==== London ====
* The Knights of the Sword attended court, and attempted to gather information about the various misdeeds of winter - a missing family member, and scurrilous rumors.
* Sir [[Lycus]] was challenged by Sir [[Alaric]] to a duel after repeating - and spreading - the vicious rumors.
* Sir [[Brastias]] provided information about the relationship between Salisbury and Silchester, and revealed that Countess [[Ellen]] is the sister of Duke [[Ulfius]], who promised her to his man Sir [[Blains]], Steward of Levcomagus. When she instead married [[Roderick]], this led to a bitter feud between the two nobles.
==== Silchester ====
* The Knights gathered information about Silchester raiding parties invading Salisbury, and set up an ambush to catch them in the act.
* After waiting for some time, they were able to catch a group of knights of Silchester and took them prisoner. Led by Blains's own brother, Sir [[Rhisiart]], the Salisbury knights were able to exchange them for the prisoners kept in Silchester.
==== Terrabil ====
* The Knights of the Sword joined Madoc's forces to siege the castle Terrabil and cut [[Gorlois]] off from his fortifications at Tintagel.
* Gorlois decided to attack at night, a cowardly and dishonorable tactic which was nevertheless effective.
* Gorlois killed Madoc, but Madoc disabled his sword and allowed the Salisbury knights to slaughter the Duke. Sir Brastias dealt the mortal blow.
* With the battle over, Tintagel fell by the next morning and Gorlois's dead body was displayed for his people.
==== Stonehenge and the Forest Perilous ====
* Madoc's funeral was held a few days later, buried alongside his uncle at Stonehenge.
* The Knights of the Sword followed a map Madoc had given Runa on his deathbed. Taking them to the borders of the Forest Perilous, they found a small cabin and the wife and child of Madoc.
* Runa agreed to keep them safe, treating Madoc's daughter as her ward.
=== Tintagel ===
* Uther and Ygraine were married a couple months after the death of Gorlois, and she was visibly pregnant by the end of the year.
