Chapter 3.1 - Easter in Salisbury (507 AD)
The quartet of knights stow their gear in a corner, claiming a bit of space in the common room as their own, and greet the other knights and some lower nobles who arrive. The knights come from Somerset, Escavalon, Estregales, Norgales, Lindsey, and Silchester. They tend to be pretty well known and mostly know one another. They seem a little surprised to find themselves in the company of unknown knights from Cornwall and act rather standoffish.
As the day wears on, the knights go to their packs to ready themselves for dinner when there is a bit of a commotion. Countess Ellen appears with her teenage son Robert and approaches a pair of very familiar women who have just entered the hall. It is Ygraine and her daughter Morgana. Even in her later years, Ygraine is still breathtakingly beautiful. Morgana, meanwhile, is silent as ever but her eyes watch everything.
The countess greets her guests and presents her son. Ygraine smiles politely but the knights notice that she is rather neutral on Ellen and Robert, although she is quite tactful about it. Sir Aeddan and Sir Daron can tell that Ellen was trying to get Ygraine's blessing for her son, perhaps something to do with him coming of age soon and taking his father's mantel as Earl of Salisbury.
