Currently writing a bit of poetry for the OP. Got the first verse down.

Also mulling over how best to start the RP. I have a few ideas in mind; feel free to make suggestions.
* Start off in a tavern, traditional DnD style. Pro: easy peasy. Con: boring doring. Doesn't fit very well with knights anyway.
* Start off meeting the king. Pro: makes sense for knights. Con: I suck at writing grandieur. I need to nail the intro, or it'll ruin the mood.
* Start off by giving each PC a custom invitation to a private conference with the king or the first prince. Pro: moderate difficulty, sets the mood. Con: takes a while to bring everyone together.
* Start off with the dragon's surprise attack on Drakengard. Pro: we get to start with a fight scene, and watch the princess get captured. Con: Batteries Sold Separately - giving it emotional charge of any sort could prove tough, as well as justifying why everyone is in one place.

I've got my work cut out for me. :P
