FEUDAL KNIGHT (HH) 70-H-01 SIR ROLLARD D’AUDRIEU Tournament Knight Born in England during the reign of Henry II, Sir Rollard was trained as a knight and has proven to be a skilled jouster and outstanding swordsman. When King Richard I called for knights to join him on his crusade to liberate the Holy Land from the infidels, he was among the first. In 1190, Sir Rollard with his charger Blaze set sail from Portsmouth for the Holy Land. Due to the time of year, the voyage was rough. Late one evening a storm of great ferocity hit them, tossing the ship like a cork. When the storm ended, the captain had no idea where they were. On the eighteenth day, with water running low, they sighted land. When they landed to take on water they encountered several farmers. The crew had never heard the language they spoke. The captain insisted on setting sail again immediately. Seasick and with no confidence the captain knew where he was going, Sir Rollard refused. He had Blaze brought ashore along with his armour, weapons and baggage. The ship departed, never to be seen again. Using sign language and gestures, he was able to buy two mules for his baggage and get directions to the nearest castle. Upon arriving, he sought out the local lord. Mounted on a fine charger, bearing arms and with noble bearing, there was no doubt he was a knight, but the lord couldn’t understand a word he said. He sent for a Save K’norrian priest. Using the invocation Tongues, he was able to interpret for the strange knight. Sir Rollard learned he was in the Kingdom of Kanday and no one had ever heard of England or Normandy. Over the next month, Baron Tobrin Jevasa of Gimon hosted the foreign knight, helping him learn something of the Hârnic language. At the Baron’s suggestion, he decided to enter a local tournament, winning easily. Having earned enough to support himself for several weeks, he thanked his host and set out to explore the island. The lone Norman knight has spent the last eight years travelling from tournament to tournament. He makes a good living, but is tired of the travel. He either wants to go home (how he has no idea) or to settle down in the service of a great lord.
HOOKS
Help Wanted. A wealthy foreign knight is looking for hirelings to take care of his horse and equipment and guide him to the Chelebin Tournament in Kaldor.
Deus lo Volt! The PCs recently recovered a document with strange writing on it. A foreign knight has words written on his shield in the same script (Latin). Sir Rollard is very interested in the document. In eight years, this is the first clue that may lead him back to England. © 2005, N. Robin Crossby & Columbia Games Inc.
