Squire Anon of D'Athen of Gobaith is hereby assigned to train and instruct his new Page Fleta Ross.
And yes Tirrend, please make a list of what the Knighthood has in regards to weapons, armor and other combat equipment, you can do that on the meeting as well.
Looking forward to be seeing you all again soon.

The Knights of Gobaith · Sat Mar 27, 2010 12:10 am

A note is pinned to the Knighthood's board bearing the seal of the Knighthood:

Upon meeting with Viceroy Edric Galthor and Captain Aeris the Knighthood of Gobaith could reestablish the old treaty with the town of Troll's Bane as well as the contract of Stoneridge, both were signed by Sir Edric Galthor, Viceroy of Troll's Bane, and Sir Bregor Ayun, Lead Knight of the Knighthood of Gobaith and can be seen at the top of our town board.
All members of the order shall try to patrol the streets of Troll's Bane as often as they can and keep the peace in the turbulent times.

((OOC: It shall not be. Now my graphics card died, and I am back to my old instable spare notebook that keeps overheating while playing illarion. Just when everything was up and running... I will still be able to read and post in the forums, but meetings and ingame action would be a pain with this machine, sorry. Will inform you once I acquired a new PC. No notebook this time..))

A man clad in simple cloth and wearing a large messenger backpack walks up to Stoneridge keep, searching his bag he then takes out a parchment and pins it to the board. Closing his bag he leaves again. The parchment reads as follows:

"Greetings Squires and Pages of Gobaith!

I finally dared to confront my past upon undertaking a journey to the mainland. Since I can't tell when I will be back on Gobaith, can you please each send me a dove with a letter regarding your current situation and a short update on past events, espacially in regards to your path to knighthood and your training. Notable events and those that could require the Knighthood should be included as well.

May Malachin watch over you

~Sir Bregor Ayun
Lead Knight of the Knighthood of Gobaith"

((I can still be quite active on the forums, will be able to read and answer any pm you send me and also encourage the use of our forums, not only to communicate messages to me but also to communicate with other guild members))

Caiah walks a little slower into the Keep giving an irritated frown having to pull the chair out far from the table before she can sit and lean over to reach for pen and parchment composing a message to Sir Ayun.

Sir Ayun,

Things are quiet here except for the demon tower near the southern forest which I don't know much about because... there is a slight tear in the parchment as the pen's pressure was suddenly increased possibly out of frustration yet the words can still be read easily...I am not allowed to go anywhere near it, nor to do ANY fighting at the moment! The parchment has now been smoothed out as if the writer slightly calmed down. Since my activities are restricted... A large glob of ink can be seen in the middle of the sentence as she pauses her writing to mumble something about a promise to Anon... Taiah and I decided we can best serve the Knights by guarding the Keep.
Caiah Daekash
Squire of the Knights of Gobaith

Someone near the Keep could possibly see just an outline of an elfess up on the roof, her armor clasps open down the front showing blue fabric over a prominent belly as she calls a dove.

A large parchment on the castle's wall, written in common language reads as follows:

"We write the month of Chos, the time of the year in which we remember those who have lost their lives in service to the Kngithood. The Knighthood mourns the death of Squire Caiah Daekash. She died while giving birth to her twins, who are well. May she reside forever amongst her ancestors and her soul never die, and may the gods bestow them with their grace for her brave and honest life! May we keep her in our hearts and remember her until also we will face the gods. She will forever be remebered in the archives of the Knighthood of Gobaith's and find her place in the Hall of Honour. Let us also remember the memories of all other Pages, Squires and Knights who we have lost. Lord Malachin may bless their souls.

Squire Caiah's sister, who's fate had up to now been bound to Caiah's, has in memory and dedication to her sister, taken upon her the honour and responsibility to take her sister's place in the service of the Knighthood, so let us welcome Page Taiah Daekash to our ranks!

Page Lindon Selmur, should you read this, be informed that your new Squire is herewith Tirrend Skye.

I also call out to all remaining members of our order, I returned from my journey to the mainland, and I am eager to hear the news of your adventures and the happenings on Gobaith. Meetings will take place in the following dwarven week, you can also seek me out on 15. Chos 30 around noon."

Yours,

Sir Bregor Ayun
Lead Knight
Knighthood of Gobaith

A large parchment is added to the castle's board.

In light of the still planned expansion of castle Stoneridge, I am glad to announce a partnership with the Gobaith Chamber of Commerce, which will grant us a discount of 10% on orders by the Knighthood.

In return will the Knighthood honour its oath to protect the innocent traders of Gobaith in the Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, the Chamber of Commerce can request paid protection and escort by our warriors on special mining missions and whenever needed.

Thus has been negotiated between Bernie Bottoms, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, and Sir Bregor Ayun, Lead Knight of the Knighthood of Gobaith.

Sir Bregor Ayun

Another parchment is placed below.

We already received our first task. On a delicate mining mission, the Chamber of Commerce seeks three warriors of the Knighthood of Gobaith to protect them on this mission. The date will be the 16. Elos 31 at 9. The payment will be 10 silvers each. Unfortunately I cannot accompany you myself. The task will be delegated on a first come first serve basis, those three to reply on the board or send me a dove will receive the task.

To the honour of Malachin, long live the Knighthood of Gobaith!

Sir Bregor Ayun

Beneath the last parchment, a small note is scribbled

To whom it may concern, I will *here something seems to be crossed out* be there much later unfortunately. ~Sir Ayun

I shall gladly take up that job offer by the Chamber of Commerce, and hope that two more of our members can join me.

If for any reason I am unable to attend, i will make it known.

Bregor Ayun · Post by **Bregor Ayun** » Sun Jun 13, 2010 11:06 am

Glad to hear. Up to now its Sir Jonathan Cain and Squire Kenfric Shalpert, who'll escort the miners in their search for Merinium. You may encounter gnomes, so take utmost care, and Malachin shall be at your side.

Chamber of Commerce · Post by **Chamber of Commerce** » Sun Jun 13, 2010 3:39 pm

Dear Knights,

I have not recieved permission from Vanima to mine there, and I like to be legal, so the 'quest' is cancelled. However, the 'job' is not. I recieve several treasure maps, and to be able to look for those would be wonderful. I appreciate the help.

~Bernie Bottoms

Bregor Ayun · Post by **Bregor Ayun** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 2:09 pm

Bregor walks up to the keep and reads the last parchment, then takes out quill and paper, writes a note on a piece of parchment and hefts it to the board.

Greetings members of the Knighthood, and those seeking to become one!

It is Mas, a dark and dangerous month for any travellers, yet I call out to you to gather in the Fluffy Sheep Tavern in Troll's Bane on the 3rd of Mas 30 at noon. We will discuss the jobs for the Chamber of Commerce, training sessions, possible order of equipment and the future of the Knighthood and our relations to other settlements. Please drop by if you can arrange it, drinks are on me.

Malachin be with us in these dark days,

~ Sir Bregor Ayun

((look mate, if you want people to attend your meetings you need to make an ooc note every now and then with the GMT times... I plugged that time into the convertor 3 seperate times and kept coming up with the time I used. I got 20:00 but thats for my timezone of EST))

I will, once again, try to attend this meeting, and once again, I have an important matter that must be discussed.

I believe the Knights of Gobaith have an arduous battle upcoming. If you'd like to purchase equipment for your warriors, please let me know, my depot is overflowing with fine crafted weaponry useless to mages like myself.

The Knights of Gobaith · Sun Jun 20, 2010 11:22 am

Knights, Squires and Pages of Gobaith!

No longer will the Knighthood be blind and deaf towards the threats that put all lives and souls on this isle to danger. The demigoddess Netheria has awakened, and great power and evil emanates from her, the daughter of the blood god. The gods sent two Guardians to assist in our cause, now it is time that we think of the oath we have sworn, the ideals we stand for and the fate of this very island, and unite once again!
We will stand as a beacon of light in these dark times, and fight as one against the demigoddess and her followers!
To all Knights and Squires, go about the isle to find those good and honest at heart, and willing to fight for their souls and those of all men and women on Gobaith! Swear them into our order, and united we may turn the tide!

In the presence of the gods, at the holy altair of the Knighthood of Gobaith, I have accepted the oaths of Page Drathe Blue and Page Sirith Rymn to fight on our side as brothers! May Malachin bless their souls and guide their swords in the upcoming battle!

For being a follower of Netheria, and openly pledging allegiance to her, Zach Dawson is herewith excluded from the Knighthood of Gobaith and will not receive the oath to the Knighthood, in contrast shall he be treated as an enemy to all good and honest men and women on Gobaith.

By the might of the messenger, the soul of Squire Caiah Daekash has returned and resides in the body of her sister again. Praise the gods for their wonders, welcome her back and learn from her excellent skills with the blade.

Take utmost heed and caution in all your travels and missions, and do not, not at any time, underestimate the truely divine powers of Netheria!
The gods will show no mercy towards her and her followers, and neither shall we!

Let us meet at castle Stoneridge, I will send doves to you with the time and date!

Malachin be with us!

For the Knight's Council and the messenger of Zhambra,

~ Sir Bregor Ayun
Lead Knight of the Knighthood of Gobaith

Having handed the parchment over to her sister, Taiah's mind drifts as she choreograph's the next dance planned while Caiah reads the note carefully as a small grin plays over her lips.

There can only be good coming from this sister...victory over this false Goddess will be realized!

Carefully pinning the parchment to the inner board of the Keep, Caiah finishes counting the rest of the armor and weapons continueing the talk with her sister, obviously not interested in the new dance.

I want to make sure we have plenty of good weapons for the Pages.

Sister:
I had been talking personally with most of the elven guards, making then understand what is at stake now, and raising their morale. I hope a better concurrency for the next Tinechor meeting. I would be pleased if you could contact the knights so they can assist to this meeting, our actions had to be discussed.
Findari and Ushara shall grant us strenght

To all members of the Knighthood, and to all those who are gathered to fight against the demigoddess Netheria, we shall join the Tinechor on their upcoming meeting! The Forces of Light must entirely gather, so we can all discuss and train, to bring defeat over this cruel goddess and her followers.
They will also pay for their futile little but vile attempt to burn down our keep!

~ Sir Bregor Ayun

((sorry about my absence yesterday, and I fear it will continue, I am expected to join all friends in viewing the world cup game Germany vs. Ghana which falls right into our today's meeting time. bad planning, my fault.

Dear Knighthood,

Of all the warriors on the Isle, your's are 'duty' bound to be true, loyal, legal and honorable. It is a relief that you are able to be active in Gobaith once more.

We require your services during our monthly meeting in Trollsbane in Ushos ((Sunday, July 11th @ 2000 GMT)). We need as many swords as you can muster to be present at our hour-long meeting to guard and protect innocent merchants from possible attacks by Cult Members or others until the end of our meeting and everyone has had a chance to get home. Escorts would be appreciated.

Pay will be given to each 'sword' present in the amount of 5 silvers each.

Let us know if this is acceptable and how many will be able to attend?

Many Thanks!
~Bernie Bottoms Littlethorn

Bregor Ayun · Post by **Bregor Ayun** » Sun Jul 11, 2010 12:24 pm

Bregor, after having read the note a second time and still finding no other parchments on the castle's board, pins a small note beneath it:

Greetings members of the Knighthood!

As you may have noticed, we have another duty to carry out, following our contract with the Chamber of Commerce, we are to protect them at their meeting. Everyone who can make it please send me a dove stating your presence, so I can answer Mr. Bottoms with how many swords we'll bring. Unfortunately, my businesses keep me until an hour after the given time, there is no way to make it earlier. I will however attend as soon as I can.

May Malachin guide you on all your ways,

~ Sir Bregor Ayun

The Knights of Gobaith · Mon Jul 12, 2010 11:42 am

A parchment bearing the seal of the Knights of Gobaith is placed on the castle's walls:

In light of recent events that have come to my ears through various sources and deeming them true, the halfling Bindus has been released of his prior oath to the Knighthood due to taking up his criminal life again. He shall be forever excluded from the service to the Knighthood, and further crimes by him shall be persecuted by all members of this order or reported to the Town Guard of Troll's Bane.

To all Knights, Squires and Pages, I am very disappointed with the turnout of our latest assignment by the Chamber of Commerce. Not a single member of this order has been able to attend, and only one send in a note informing me about it. The Chamber of Commerce is, rightfully, upset with us, for they met without protection and their lives have been put to danger. You all have sworn to protect the innocent and defenceless, stay true to your oath!
I'd also like to see my Squires take on more responsibility, be it with presence at official Knighthood meetings or assignments. You are granted freedoms in recruiting new members, accessing the keep, hold training sessions and so forth, in return I expect you take over more resonsibility in guiding and advising your Pages and to be present when duty calls.

The next meeting will be on ((wednesday, 21h GMT)), I expect everyone to try their best in attending it. We will meet in front of the altair.

To the honour of Lord Malachin!

~ Sir Bregor Ayun
Lead Knight of Gobaith

Bregor Ayun · Post by **Bregor Ayun** » Tue Jul 13, 2010 2:54 pm

The upcoming meeting will be rescheduled to a later date in the following dwarven week.

However, an important notice for all available members of this order:

The Farmer's Union seeks protection on their upcoming meeting ((wednesday, 17h GMT)). I need at least two warriors to accompany me, payment will be 5 silvers for an hour work, please place a parchment on the castle's board or drop me a line via a dove when you are able and willing to come. Don't let us fail again!

Malachin with you,

~Sir Bregor Ayun
