Rights:
I have an enchanted weapon
When I encounter something unnatural, I have the right to roll Weird.
On 10+, I ask the MC 2 of the following. On 7–9, ask 1.
• Is this a thing of old ways, new ways, or ways unknown to me?
• What manner of person made this thing, or is it its own?
• For what does this thing hunger, or by what has it sated itself?
• What would this thing make the world into, if it only could?
On a miss, ask 1, but the thing may ask a question of you in return, from this list or of its own devising. Answer truthfully.
I have the right to slay whom I must for the protection of all
In single combat, I have the right to spend 1 more than my roll alone would allow
Who?
I am the son of an expert warrior who has trained me well, and an English bowyer. My father is part of a company of elite warriors who have been exiled from their homeland who travelled far, following the legends of Rome, in search of a new place of Lords to sell their swords and undertake new duties.
The chivalric code of conduct came naturally to many of the Exiles, who integrated it with their own. As the second generation, I have been taught this synthesis of chivalry and of my father’s strict martial traditions.
My father was also a deeply spiritual man, but not a Christian. It is both his spiritualism and the esoteric faiths of my mother’s England that I have been raised with, and that I also put a great importance in.
I am no longer a child, but I am still defined by being my father’s son. His reputation is fearsome, and his People, the Pilgrims in Exile, are my people as well - together they try to rebuild as much of their traditions as they can pass down to the next generation.
While I am inspired by their legacy, I am also an Englishman. I will build my own legacy, that of an English Knight, from the tools that my People have given me. This is why I have struck out on my own, out from under my People’s shadow.
I have no land, no titles, and as yet few deeds to my name. I carry my father’s bow and my mother’s arrows, my People’s knowledge, and a heart and mind uniquely my own.
Here is my vow: I will be Just, Courageous and Compassionate. In all things I will show Integrity, Honour and Loyalty. I must never strike in anger, and I will spill no unneeded blood. If blood need be spilled, I must cut decisively and with true intent. I seek honour in duty and I seek greatness through my service to all.
