Invitations

A number of riders were seen departing Vornavis this morning and heading east with speed. All wore the green and white colors of the barony, and bore a swan-crested satchel often carried by couriers.

Tonight news was spread by that His Excellency Baron Malwind would be returning this weekend. Further he would be holding another open session of court this coming Restday the 13th of Charlatos at 9:30 by the Empire Standard of Time. All residents of the region and friends of the barony are welcome at court. His Excellency would also like to extend a special invitation to those with ties to Vornavis - its Protectors, Hospitallers, and Wards - as the Baron looks forward to seeing them in person.

The chamberlain of the court would also like to remind all those who would attend this session of court that proper attire and behavior will be required.

(OOC: The Court session will Sunday 3/13 at 9:30 pm EST)

Sir Cryheart's group just went east.
[Solhaven, Esplanade Gate]
A swan of white ora sits on the green copper gates, proclaiming them an entrance into Vornavis. Around them stands a huge granite wall, protecting the inhabitants of the city from all intruders.

She has very short, auburn hair worn in a sheared pixie style. She has a gently oval-shaped face, a small nose and naturally rose-tinted lips. A series of precisely rendered circles is visible on her nape, the skin pale and slightly raised.
She has a colorfully inked geometric labyrinth accented by mystic sigils on her head, and a ring of loops and arcs tattoo on her wrist.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a long-chained filigree swan lariat inlaid with a mosaic of tiny star-of-Tamzyrr diamond shards, a strapless white organza gown with tiers of airy gossamer feathered skirts, a sunburst-etched imflass ring caged in white gold, and a pair of silvered glass slippers.

He appears to be a Half-Sylvan.
He is delicately petite and has a spritely, small build. He appears to be very young. He has beautifully smoke-outlined deep, expressive woad blue eyes and smooth, creamy skin. He has waist length, silky honey gold and chestnut brown hair that gently flirts over the curved tips of his ears. He has boyishly gentle features and a slight melancholy in his eyes. He has a natural semi-matte glaze brushed onto his manicured fingernails. Each of his earlobes is pierced with a blue sapphire.
He has a glistening violet-sheened snowflake inked across his right cheek, and a monochrome halfsleeve tattoo of inked brambles along his left forearm.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a pair of dark silver-rimmed spectacles, a supple russet suede longcoat cut to flare at the hips, a smooth worry-stone on a dark silver chain, a long champagne silk tunic hemmed with colorful wildflowers, a gold-stitched honeyed waist sash, a pair of soft honeyed leather pants, and some knee-high dark leather boots.

(Yukito relaxes bit by bit and gives Dunrith another respectful nod.)

Dunrith says, "We are also however aware that the honor of this has become more difficult in this current day given the Order that it is tied to."

Yukito bites his lip.

Dunrith says, "It is not our wish for any who serve this realm to experience such. And moreso we wish for it to be something others will strive to do so by your example."

Dunrith says, "The Order of the Swan is also not simply an order that is dedicated to the healing arts."

Yukito tilts his head toward Dunrith, examining him intently as the tip of one ear twitches briefly.

Dunrith says, "It is our hope that in the future it will have additional members that serve in other fields."

Yukito bites his lip.

Dunrith smiles.

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "Your background as a soldier in the Imperial legions does show through."

Gedrick nods.

Gedrick says, "You spent half your life in them, you do pick up a few habits."

Dunrith nods at Gedrick.

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "As of late we have come to hear much of your name Sir Knight. And in hearing it we have wondered why this is the first time we have seen you here at Court."

Speaking to Dunrith, Gedrick says, "This is the first time I was invited, Your Excellency."

Dunrith says, "We do make these sessions of Court open to all. And those who are friends of this barony are welcome."

Kothos whispers to the group, "If they'll welcome me, they'll welcome damned near everyone."

Dunrith says, "You have spent time here in Vornavis on multiple occasions. And have stepped into the fray on its behalf before. Such does make one a friend in our view."

Speaking to Dunrith, Gedrick says, "Thank you for your kind words, Your Excellency. But I am not much one for court. Did not have an enjoyable time at such the last time I went."

Dunrith frowns and nods his head.

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "Given your circumstance, that is understandable."

Speaking to Dunrith, Gedrick says, "And is this to be more of the same, Your Excellency? If it is, it should be clear that we only did what was needed doing. Those people needed help and so we did. And if you are holding me to judgement, then you will respectfully leave my squire out of whatever punishment you are handing down."

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "No, Sir Knight, I am sure you are not."

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "Your tale and your exploits have been made known to us. But recently and in the past."

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "As well as the full details of your situation and desire to go home."

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "It is my hope to offer you some succor to you in this regard."

Gedrick frowns.

Yukito glances between Gedrick and Dunrith.

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "It is not in my power to change it so that you are able to go back to Trauntor. As I am not its Count."

Gedrick stands there listening to Baron Malwind, no expression visible on his face.

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "It has been over half a decade since you came north. Seven years you have spent here in the Baronies and beyond lending aid to those in need."

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "You have offered the aegis of your arms, and been generous with your heart and body in helping them. Defending those who have not been able to defend themselves."

Camryth gazes hopefully at Gedrick.

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "While you may have been a man who lost his home, you were never a knight that lost his way."

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "I have heard of your deeds from multiple sources, of whom I trust their word completely. And the words they have spoken I have taken heed of."

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "While it is my hope that you can return to Trauntor as you so desire one day, such is not within my power."

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "But something that is within our power is an offer to you this night."

Goldstr grins.

Speaking to Dunrith, Gedrick asks, "An offer?"

Missoni leans forward.

Phanna gives Gedrick a strong, encouraging smile.

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "You have made the Baronies your home through time, word, and deed. Make it so in fact."

Mynon takes a moment to observe Gedrick.

Speaking to Dunrith, Gedrick asks, "You wish to promote me?"

Dunrith chuckles.

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "Sir Gedrick, your deeds have done that. You may not be familiar with the saying that the reward for work done well is more work. But it is one I firmly believe in."

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "So accept this offer, and serve myself and Vornavis as a Knight of the Empire."

Speaking to Gedrick, Dunrith says, "And know that if your desire to travel the Baronies is still within you, then it just so happens that Vornavis is in good standing with its neighbors."

Missoni gazes hopefully at Gedrick.

Gedrick glances down at the floor silently.

Goldstr begins chuckling at Gurbah!

You see Gurbah Klaah, the half-ogre half-bull centaur.
His age is impossible to determine. His long, white hair flows back into his mane, he has black eyes, and dark skin.
His lower body is covered with fine grey hair, and his hooves appear to be shod with mithril shoes.

Speaking to Guarrin, Dunrith says, "So we see."

Perivan gets a blank look on his face.
