He held 'em off while the ladies dashed up the stairs. Legend has it that's what he was knighted for, but he was already a knight."

		+	The Chronicles of the East Kingdom
		+
		+	In the second month of the third year of the reigns of the kings
		+	of the west, two came from the land of the mists, eastward to realms
		+	which had heard little of the feats of arms of the men of the west
		+	nor of the skills of their smiths and artisans. Finding those among
		+	these peoples yet unaquainted with civilization who were willing to
		+	listen to the code of chivalry and to learn the rudiments of proper
		+	behavior and honorable warfare, these missionaries, y-clept Walter
		+	and Elfrida of Greenwalls, did much to bring enlightenment to what
		+	was a wilderness.
		+
		+	By the second of June of that year, enough people had been con-
		+	vinced of the virtue of their ideas to hold an outdoor revel on the
		+	grounds of a local castle. The heavens opened upon that day and the
		+	revelers were forced to seek shelter within the castle. The castellan
		+	declaimed that permission had only been granted for the use of the
		+	grounds, then rapidly flooding, and that they could not continue into
		+	the castle. They were forced to flee homeward, as storming the castle
		+	and punishing this vile peasantish discourtesy was as yet beyond their
		+	means.
		+
		+	On the twenty-first day of July of the same year, a tournament
		+	was held. Weapons were forged by Eiolf and those who were called
		+	Baru Go-ren and Bruce of the New Rock. Robert of Fort Hill, Peter
		+	of York, and Elfrida of Greenwalls provided music while Bruce
		+	slaughtered all comers to win the crown of the East. King Richard
		+	of the West dispatched an embassy of congratulation. An invitation
		+	was extended and upon the second day of the fifth month, King Henrik
		+	of the West knighted our victor Sir Bruce of Clove, being the site
		+	where he had won his victory.
		+
		+	Following a tournament five days before All Hallows, at which
		+	he was crowned, King Bruce I set about forming a government. His
		+	first thought was the defense of the kingdom. On Twelfth Night,
		+	seeing the armourers to be honourable and skilful fighters, he
		+	dubbed them Sir Eiolf Eiriksson and Sir Rakkurai of Kalakura.
		+
		+	Within a fortnight he had selected his help in the work of
		+	creating a viable kingdom. Among them were Lady Elfrida, later 0.L.,
		+	and Walter of Greenwalls as seneschal, and El of the Two Knives as
		+	Chancellor of the Exchequer, a post he has held under every monarch
		+	since. A meeting was scheduled for one week after Groundhog’s Day at
		+	the seneschals' country retreat.
		+
		+	Snow fell that day. By dawn carts were impeeded in their progress.
		+	By the time of the meeting, the snow had reached the cuisses of the
		+	knights, and even His Majesty's chariot, with its team, could not
		+	reach the site. The snow had reached the waist of his subjects of
		+	giant blood by sunset. At this time, the fourteen travellers attempted
		+	to reach their homes. Despite serfs to clear the roads, none completed
		+	their trip that day and some had disappeared from ken of mortal men.
		+
		+	On Whitsunday, returning from a tournament, a small party of ladies
		+	of the kingdom, escorted by Sir Eiolf and Koppel f. Lachsfalk, was
		+	attacked by a band of nine brigands. While Lachsfalk held the thieves
		+	in a narrow defile, Sir Eiolf shepherded the ladies to safety then
		+	returned to help. By the time he reached the defile, the robbers had
		+	fled; Lachsfalk lie bleeding on the ground. He gave him into the hands
		+	Of the chirugeons who forewent bleeding him on the grounds that the
		+	blackguards had done such a superlative job.
		+
		+	Despite certain machinations of a group of self-inflated peasants,
		+	the Midsummer tournament occurred on schedule and the MacGregor of
		+	Götr-Karlsberg, having won the day, was named knight and heir-apparent
		+	to King Bruce. Scriveners for chronicles of neighboring duchies spread
