The Adventure of the Sword Tournament

The year is 510. The cold, gray, leaden skies of winter mirror the mood of the land. None have worn the crown of Logres since the death of King Uther fifteen years ago. All of Britain suffers under the depredations of rapacious, ambitious barons and opportunistic raiders. You and your fellow Player-knights will join a nameless, backcountry squire who quite unexpectedly finds himself carrying the weight of an entire realm on his shoulders. As landless knights, the characters are presented with a golden opportunity to back the so-called Boy King against the warlords who would crush him in their mad quest for power. This is a tutorial scenario meant not only to teach everyone the rules of the game but also familiarize them with the world of King Arthur, which is often quite unlike our received understanding of medieval life as depicted in contemporary fiction, visual media, and other role-playing games.
