== The duel of Lord Elad and Sir Gwrien == The summer of 482 was an interesting one for the young men [[Cadry]], [[Maelgwyn]], [[Melkin]] and [[Gamond]]. Being older squires, they got to try out young pages at [[Vagon]] for future possible squire training something that especially [[Gamond]] put a lot of effort into. The day proved as expected that the sons of the vassal knights were better prepared than the other candidates, but also that some of the esquire sons showed potential as well. Since the squires were also getting ready for possible knighthood their lords set up several [[test]] for them. One of the tests on Gamond’s part was that Sir [[Elad]] decided to fight him one on one with rebated [[weapons]] but the agreement was that neither would hold back. In the end [[Gamond]] ended up striking [[Elad]] in the head causing a serious wound. The sparring match was barely over when sir Cardic of [[Dovesfield]] entered [[Vagon]] with his son sir Gwrien to discuss the supposed courting of his daughter, accusations that both [[Maelgwyn]] and [[Melkin]] were denyin. As such sir Cardic demanded vindication for his daughter’s honour, but the argument ended in a duel to first blood between Sir Gwrien and Lord [[Elad]]. When the duel was won by [[Elad]] sir Gwrien refused to yield and threw the rebated [[weapon]] aside and drew his blade. The situation could have ended badly but, eventually sir Cardic managed to subdue his son and they left [[Vagon]] without any bloodshed. The breach of hospitality would however be brought to court. == Conquest of Summerland == Shortly thereafter the royal army arrived and the squires got to accompany lord [[Elad]] and lord [[Amig]] on a conquest of [[Summerland]]. The [[summerland]] troops marched into the marshes refusing to meet king Uther’s army on the field. Thus, duke [[Ulfius]] of the Vale ordered the troops to raid the countryside. When returning from the raid all men fell mysteriously ill, and king [[Uther]] decided to meet and parley with [[Cadwy]], the king of [[Summerland]]. The four squires [[Melkin]], [[Cadry]], [[Maelgwyn]] and [[Gamond]] got to be part of king Uther’s personal guard during this meeting standing in a swamp feeling more or less nauseous. All of them thought that they could see something moving from time to time in the darkness out in the waters. [[Gamond]], being the one who had taken most ill almost got taken by a hideous fearie creature called a [[Water Leaper|water leaper]], but the others drew him away from the water just in time. In the end [[Uther]] declared that he had reached an agreement with king [[Cadwy]]. [[Summerland]] would become part of [[Logres]] and [[Cadwy]] would rule [[Summerland]] as both King and Count. For this [[Cadwy]] was also given land in different parts of [[Logres]] to smooth the transition. A feast was held during which king [[Uther]] spoke to [[Cadry]] and [[Maelgwyn]] about their fathers and acknowledged that he had met them. All seemed to be over when [[Maelgwyn]] told lord [[Elad]] about a mysterious brigand called the [[Knight of Ribs|knight of ribs]], and that he supposedly was wielding a blade of hate. [[Elad]] became furious and immediately set off into the [[forest]] seeking the man who supposedly slew maid Adwen, Elad’s former betrothed. When the army returned back to [[Hillfort]], he was nowhere to be seen. ''As chronicled by Sister [[Elaine]] and Brother Philippos of [[Ambrius]] Abbey''
