Court in Tintagel. We witnessed the court weddings of [[Ygraine|Ygraine's]] daughters to northern kings ([[Lot]] and the other guy). Then while on patrol, that snake Merlin shows his face and my companions decide to help him. He betrayed us all, and we were tried for treason against the king for "helping Merlin steal Uther's baby". At the trial some of Uther's religious advisors correctly place the blame on Merlin, though their reasoning is suspect. Because of this, our service to the realm, and Roderick putting his honor on the line, we are cleared of all charges. Immediately after, we must needs rush back to Salisbury because Silchester knights are attacking our county! We arrive in time to mount a serious defense at [[Oswulf|Sir Oswulf's]] manor at [[Newton Tony (Pendragon (2023))|Newton Tony]], which was unexpected to our enemies it seems. Thanks to the cunning of [[Eithne|Dame Eithne]] we break their line and I am able to rush through their archers to face [[Blains|Sir Blains]] directly. In a rare show of honor he agrees to face me personally and his guard stands down. I beat him handily and we capture the remainder of his forces, delivering them to Earl Roderick in Sarum. After utterly humiliating them a second time, surely this is the last we'll see of those knaves. It seems that at some point during the battle Sirs Alaric and Oswulf got a bit carried away and rode into Silchester to take the fight to Ulfius? They got better.

Blaines finally sufficiently beaten to give it up for now. My poor sister Thyri went missing over the winter, so we sent a squadron of our family knights to investigate. Uther has the illest humours and THEN we find out that Octa and Eosa somehow escaped captivity. Who even was guarding them??? Our Earl was ordered to go north to Malahaut and secure an alliance against the saxons, but those Faux-mans were planning to ides of march us!!! We made a daring escape by boat and then south through the forest. Some random band of saxons tried to waylay us but after we fed some to a river they gave up. We made it home with a few hostages and shared the unfortunate news.

We went to Lincoln after long court session.
Our knights returned having rescued my sister and some other hostages. The kidnappers escaped but they were seen wearing roman armor and one had a roman heraldric shield. What the fuck is with all these romeaboos. We went north to deliver aid to Duke Lindsay and investigate this latest group of rome cosplayers to cross us. Turns out it was that guy we abandoned in Frankland like ten years ago. Oops. After we bested him in combat he revealed his plan of revenge on Madoc. He would not shut up about it so I cuffed him and told him to hold his tongue re: my dead friend. We made it home and received due honor and payment for our deeds stopping this threat to Lorgres' people.
