The Duke

I finally met the Duke after he had returned from his business. Following that, he granted me an audience to discuss my aims within the Duchy and to see if I was suitable to join the Order of Honour. It should be noted here that the Duke did indeed approve my entrance into the Order and I am now a proper squire to the Lord Kai Silverhand. I consider this to be a great start to my desire to learn more of the virtues, for if I cannot here, then where could I possibly look?

In addition to becoming part of the nobility and the Order, I was granted a uniform to wear. I have to say that it is one of the most impressive suits of armour I have ever seen. From what I've been able to tell, the armour itself was forged from Valorite and then purposefully painted in the colour of the Duchy. It took a little while to find a suit that actually fitted my modest figure, but all turned out well in the end. Keeping the armour repaired might pose a problem, though I hope that by the time it becomes an issue that either someone from the Duchy will be able to help, or one of my father's blacksmiths will have arrived.

All is well so far, although I do need to see about training some more...my swordplay is not what it should be in order to properly serve the Duchy and protect the Duke. Hmm..perhaps I can see about organising a sparring match with some of the other aspirants on 'paladin Isle' as the citizens call it.

I do still miss Jerrick sometimes...that our parents split us up ; Jerrick with some posting as a guard somewhere and me with this pilgrimage. sometimes it does make me wonder if it wouldn't have been better to stay hidden away and try for a new life. I guess now, we will never know. Unless I happen across someone that can go and magically change history or something.

Yeah, right. Maybe I'll go shake the Avatar's hand while I'm at it
