Greetings Herophiles, it appears that I am being pressured into putting my Character into Semi Retirement. I created the Character in 06-06-1998 and he will probably get retired in the new year. I have become pretty attached to the Character and I am finding it hard to let go. Now I have some experience points to spend and an opportunities to exploit.

During the recent Megalosian Civil War in the north Sir Errandis Menelvagor and the Companions have brought down a Count and his Mercenary army, convinced another Count to change allegiance to the Emperor, and smash the army of a Rebel Duke and laid siege to his Castle.

Then he turned his attentions to the Rebel Earl to the East and broke the siege of Castle, freeing the Archbishop to rally his Duchy for the Emperor. He exposed the Earl's conspiracy and convinced another Duke to side with the Emperor. He brokered a Treaty between the Kingdom of Cardiel and the Empire of Megalos to aid Blockade Rebel Lords Ports and Sack the Eastern Earls Capital.

There is one Rebel Lord left to oppose the Emperor and he commands an army of Veterans.

Now it is his turn to face the Companions. Sir Errandis Menelvagor is looking towards the future. Once of his enemies joked about rewarding the Companions Lands and Title in the Black Woods.

The Black Woods largest forest in the Empire and infested with horrors from another world. my character has considered asking for his reward the Lands and Title as Lord of the Black Woods.

During the Civil War he has made enemies and allies alike in the Royal Court. he has voiced his desire to remain a Knight Errant and there by serve his Liege Lord and the Empire. He is going to try and manipulate his enemies into bringing about his greatest desire.

By ennobling him they force him into their arena an force him to play by their rules. The Emperor also assures that he has a handle on this powerful individual.

Strangely enough he is also being courted by the Prince of Cardiel who does not want to see such an individual in service to the Empire. He has Contacts through out the Empire and more friends than enemies at Royal Court and among the Nobility.

How would he go about manipulating events to gain his desire?


Thanks

Wow. In a way, I'm rather envious. I've never had a character last that longer than 2 years. I either end up running the game or I got PCS'd to a new duty station, where I would find a new group and start fresh. If you did get the title to the Black Wood, would you clear it out, or make it a training ground for Adventuring hopefuls?

Thanks Sweeper, for some reason I have duplicate posts, but I will answer cross post anyway.

His goal would be to work with the Elves already dedicated to wiping out the Black Woods Horrors, but I like how you think. ;)
