KNIGHTLY QUEST | The Southern Threat

[Mattiii 1663]

 

t was some two eves ago that the first of Our hunting parties ventured south. Led by the Master of the Hunt, they were tasked with investigating a series of reports telling of crude blizzards and the beasts that it brought ever closer to Our Archduchy. The party returned with haste and carried with them cruel news; the blizzard would soon descend on Our City of Saint Godwinsburg, and so would beasts and monsters step into Our realm. After the news were announced during a procedural session of Our Alban Court, a second party was soon dispatched, given the task of bringing news of the blizzard’s advancement. Alas, a month has passed and the party has not returned.

 

So too, did We announce during the aforementioned Court the creation of Our Most Noble Order of the White Hart; a new Order of Knights to upkeep the tenets of chivalry and defend the most august House of Alstion. While our Order stands ready to be founded, it lacks to itself men to carry with grace the honor of being a Sir. The House of Alstreim has been the most ancient friend of House Alstion, and kept the sanctity of many of Our Orders in the past. Theirs was the stewardship of the Order of the Knight-Immortals during Our Grandfather’s Kingdom of Aaun, and so too have they reverently served in numerous iterations of Our personal guard. 

 

So it is fitting they shall again. Therefore, do we command the LORD OTTOMAR VON ALSTREIM @Frymark to venture South after the lost expedition; to uncover what befell them and finish the task they were set upon. Should the Lord Alstreim be successful, do we summon him to attend Us at Our seat in Castle Glasgon, so that he may be Knighted as one of the Order of the White Hart and be charged with the most sacred of tasks of building a Knightly Order in Our name.

The knightly aspirant's firstborn, Egon Albrecht, lit three candles at the grand cathedral of Saint Godwinsburg in prayer for his father's success.

"O Saint King Ottomar and Saint Calliope the Maiden, wardens of our Blood- Saint Edmond, protector of knights, grant him victory in this quest and glory immeasurable."
