Chronicle of Deeds

Year	Notes
485	Slew a fae bear which was ravaging the countryside and forged a fellowship with her companion. They were all knighted for their deed. Successfully charged the window and leapt out to mount her horse during the knights' hazing ritual. Took the appellation "the bold".
486	Saw the Lady Eladis at court and fell in love at first sight. Went a bit mad over it. Rejoined friends as they were assisting Merlin and slew a giant and a not-a-kelpie-water-horse-monster. Witnessed Merlin retrieving Excalibur from the lake. Helped write and perform the ballad of sword lake for winter court, it's a hit! With Countess Ellen's advice, approached Lady Eladis directly, danced with her, and began a courtship.
487	Went to Lincoln with Uther. Duke Lindsay isn't home??? We set out to locate him. Found him in a pitched battle with Saxons. Personally slew the Saxon leader who was attacking Lindsay, took his golden torc as a trophy. Witnessed the Duke's submission to Uther. Performed the Ballad of Sword Lake again. Little sister had a baby! Earl Roderick visited my manor because it's the best one.
488	Flirted with Eladis at winter court and received a silver bracelet as a favor. Went to the continent under Prince Madoc to aid a war. During a siege, saved her future father-in-law in combat. We were first in the gates and displayed excellent leadership in the siege.
489	Duke Gorlois is missing from winter court??? Anyway asked Eladis to marry me and she said yes! Got drunk with my future father in law. Oh and we marched on Cornwall and saw Gorlois submit to Uther or something, w/e. Had to put a check on her kink passion because of it. Also this year we investigated a town being attacked by a "demon". It turned out to be a redcap fairy which we returned to its home. Participated in a fae feast. Sister had another baby. Runa and Eladis were wed before winter.
490	Played that damned sword song again at court. Went to Lindsay for war against the Saxons. Sir Oswulf knighted and joins the team. Much glory was had! Runa fought Octa personally. Gave his weapon Svartleggja to Uther for some reason. Runa befriended Prince Madoc after the feast when we found him drunk alone, by talking with him like a person. Witnessed Gorlois and Ygraine GTFO away from that lech Uther. The magical blizzard does not bode well for the coming year. Sister's younger baby passed.
491	A dark and eventful year. A cousin was kidnapped while out hunting. My friends dueled that stuck up xenophobic knight Lycus while I drank mead and watched with Madoc. Runa rode out with the crew to rescue our cousins from a jerkass knight Sir Blaines in the next county over. Humiliated them which means surely that is the last we'll see of those knaves. Uther sent the knights to the battle of Terrabil with Madoc. Madoc died fighting Duke Gorlois. Runa is sad. As he died he gave Runa a map and made her swear "not to let him put a crown on her". Runa found his secret wife and child and took them into her household, claiming them as cousins needing aid. Had to play the cursed Ballad of Sword Lake yet again at court.
