It's not been 84 years. I hope.

[@Strange Rodent] Okay, so... on the side of high fantasy, this roleplay is pretty heavy on the high side. That's not to say that there isn't a place for comparatively mundane knights at all, but in that case they're still expected to be able to hold their own against various monstrous enemies. And you've gone probably too far on the mundane side of things, being even less armed and armoured than a real life knight.

Like... it's a knightly order. The expectation is that you're more skilled or equipped than a somewhat-veteran mercenary of the period. ^^;

Also... tenth surviving son is a bit excessive, even by medieval standards. And infant mortality is lower here because literal magic exists. <_>
