Queen Soren of Tarn, known as "The Wicked", hears of Avalon's empty throne during her travels from the Isles of Tenebris in the frozen North. She remains undaunted after narrowly escaping a fight with Gwen of Avalon, away on a mission in the distant realm of Knottwood...  First thing Queen Soren did on arrival was meet Lord Richard. She bristled.  Hale fellow well met, he took none of her posturing and verbal abuse.  Her great sword arced through the afternoon air.  In a blink, Richard knocked her sword away.  She stares at her prized weapon in disbelief.  Ever the gentleman, Richard returns her mighty sword. For once, Soren is speechless.  She turns to hear him say, "We are not barbarians here in Avalon. We expect the same of you."  |
