Excerpts from Sir Eldan's Journal
Entry 1:
I have decided to keep a journal of events so that I may more easily be able to piece together the meaning behind all that has happened to me recently. I guess I should start off by saying that the most peculiar event has just happened to me today, and living in the Fey Woods as I do that's saying something! I had been scouting the local areas of the woods recently to help protect my village, I may be a member of the militia but I felt there was more I could do. Normally nothing untoward comes of it, but today I met a very strange man indeed. He introduced himself as Sir Delwyn (weird birth name), and he was wearing a form of armor I had never seen before, plates of steel like shields that covered his whole body! He also had a very impressive looking shield bearing a design I am not familiar with and a very fine sword. He then handed me his shield and sword and immediately proceeded to take of his armor. Once he was finished he said simply that he had been serving (Camland? must check spelling) for centuries and was glad he'd finally found someone to "allow him to rest" and walked off! I only had time for one question before he was gone, so I asked him what this Camland was. His answer was as mystifying as he was, apparently I'm standing in it. He also called me Sir Eldan which raises two questions. How did he know my family name? And how did he not know my birth name is Alfred not Sir? I shall wait until he returns for his things and ask him.
Entry 2:
I have been camped here for a whole day now and I don't think he's coming back. Also things have only gotten stranger in that day. Firstly the armor has re-sized itself and now fits me like it was tailored. All I did was pick it up to move it and I saw it noticeably alter itself, and some experimentation proved it was now sized for me! Secondly I felt this strange sensation of warmth wash over me shortly after I was done writing my last entry. Somehow I know this was some form of binding magical contract and now just about all I can think about is protecting people. I need to get back and figure out what's going on here.
Entry 3:
A week has passed since I met Sir Delwyn and finally some answers have been found. I traveled to the largest village I knew of and asked about these strange occurrences. Nobody had heard of Sir Delwyn but they did have a very old book that speaks of an ancient kingdom that once stood here called Camland and that Sir is not a birth name but a title belonging to a group of warriors called knights. I see now that due to the magic upon me I must take up the name of these knights and try to protect (maybe even restore?) all that once was Camland. If the tales I've heard are to be believed, there is no shortage of threats to protect against.
Entry 4:
It has been many moons since my last entry and I have found many men who share my goals to protect our lands and loved ones. We have decided to form a group and I was unanimously declared the leader. They also insisted on naming ourselves the "Sons of Camland" which I think is ridiculous. I'll try and get it changed if I can.
(P.S. I failed)
Entry 5:
While searching to the east for more villages and towns to offer my aid to (I've been making a map) I came upon a very unexpected turn of events. I did indeed find a village, but after offering to help them they said they did not need it, as they were under the protection of the "lords of Athesia". A little investigation revealed that Athesia is a kingdom (recently the king died and it is now ruled by a council of unique and powerful individuals) to the south-east that has been slowly spreading outwards with the goal of unifying all people for mutual prosperity and protection. After much thought I have decided to pledge myself and the Sons of Camland to their banner, as they have resources far beyond my own and their aid would dramatically increase the success of my own mission. I shall leave for their capitol (a city no less!) tomorrow.
==Significant Relationships==
Sir Delwyn - It was Sir Delwyn that put Sir Eldan on the course of a hero, passing on his mantle to the young warrior. Now Sir Eldan is constantly on the lookout for information on the venerable knight's past, or current fate.
Gerald and Hannah Eldan -  Sir Eldan's parents. Though his duties have kept him from them for many months now, not a single day passes that he does not think of them.
Merric Thunderlute - After seeing him performing ritual magics upon his wife (who is apparently a succubus) and very nearly creating a town-full of murdering cannibals as a result, Sir Eldan is convinced this man is a psychotic maniac who will bring about the downfall of all Athesia.
Slath i Faigh - The lord of the Court of Seasons. Sir Eldan does not know a lot about this legendary gnome, but he has offered to help Sir Eldan in his goals of protecting Camland and also in finding out more about Sir Delwyn and hopefully about himself.
