The Realms / The Court of Blackwood Gathers for the First Time Since the Plague
The Court of Blackwood Gathers
for the First Time Since the Plague
His Majesty, King Kerrell of Blackwood held a small tournament in mid-summer, and with hope in their eyes the citizens and heroes of the surrounding realms did gather in small numbers. It is still too soon to tell if these dark days of solitude are over, but we seek the courage now to face the new age ahead.
In
this new age of Blackwood, His Royal Highness, Prince Saegan has passed
his honor as Knight Commander of the Knights of Blackwood to Lord
Mathias. Lord Mathias has had a long history throughout the realms, and
has spoken of how much he values his knighthood over any other honor
that has been given to him. The Prince gifted the new Knight Commander
with a pair of decorated bracers with the two hands of the Knighthood, a
gift His Royal Highness made with his own hands.
The
Knights of Blackwood have also welcomed a new squire. Dame Matiya of
Folkstone, once a squire to the Queen of Blackwood, Her Majesty Jinx,
came before the court to ask Tazzia to become her squire. Their common
love for cooking and family is known to many across the realms, but they
are also vocal and dedicated to the growth of the community as well as
mages. The kingdom looks forward to seeing what this new chapter will
bring.
Lastly,
His Majesty announced that in the coming months he must sail to the
Southern Isles, which is far past the Southern Wastes and the
surrounding allied realms. His mission remains a mystery to us all at
this time, but he will not go it alone. In his absence, Prince Saegan
has been left in charge of the kingdom, the first true test to see what
the future will hold.
