## History

### Pre-Game

Sir Davion was sent by Lord Meyer in his lord's stead to the home of Marquise Halward as Lord Meyer was unable (or unwilling) to attend her soiree for dignitaries across the Kingdom. The Marquise was not terribly impressed although hinted that she knew the Lord's reasons and was delivered a missive from the absent Lord by the good Knight.

This letter granted Marquise Halward the temporary service of Sir Phylund as a gift of Lord Meyer to which the Lady had a quick determination for what the Knight might do for her. She being a pioneer and patroness of the study of the Maladies of the Mind decided that Sir Davion might be able to help her with a particular person in her care who has done a great deal to recover from his madness. This person being a Harengon who had been sentenced to death initially for crimes of murder, kidnapping, grave robbery and necromancy. It was due to the Marquess' intervention that Saszi Vermillion was given a stay of execution in order to trial her experimental treatments.

Now that he had sufficiently reformed within the Mental Hospital, it was time to prove that he could rehabilitate to normal society. Sir Davion would be given guardianship over Saszi with the intention of guiding Saszi back into society and help him self-manage. However, most civilized towns look at the mad just as badly as they might do witches and would limit Saszi's potential. Instead it was determined that Saszi would go to Arleans to earn his redemption and face his fears.

### Thoraholm Arc

It was during this Arc that Sir Davion met the other members of the Six in the lobbies of Polegit Castle as he was given an exclusive audience with Margrave Dandry due to his Knightly rank. Having briefly befriended the group who were stuck in a lengthy line after they initially derided the fact that this Knight and his entourage were given preferential treatment the Knight instead invited them to join him.

At the subsequent test of strength in the Pit, Sir Davion acquitted himself rather well on the field along with his new compatriots who soundly defeated the Undead that were thrown at them for the mock battle.

After being given an invitation to join the Brittlespears Davion and the Six were given a task to assist a infirm, old Dowager Lady Paolure in casting out the Haunting of her Manor home. It was during this time that Sir Davion gave Saszi a real chance to prove himself by lending him his spellbook. Additionally, the Knight stood guard overnight in the Manor in order to guarantee that Lady Paolure would not be in danger from the Haunting Ghost of Lord Mathers.

As reward for his efforts, he was granted the Lady's favour that he may call upon when he should need it.

### Valour Haven Arc

During the course of this Arc, Sir Davion join the Six in their venture into the Blightlands to escort Chief Engineer Cedrine and his Brittlespear engineers to the City of Valour Haven. Although they were close to death on a couple of occasions they managed to reach the city. Wulf, his squire seemed somewhat traumatized by the horrors they witnessed and Davion has leant him some space during this. He then requested that Brittlespear Captain Vidal organize for a tutor to help Wulf to read and write.

After one week in Valour Haven, the Six formed a game plan for preparing for the upcoming Undead Invasion of Valour Haven by negotiating with the Three Magickos, investigating Fort Jerosant, and eventually with the criminal black market the Barricade.

However, their plans were disrupted when Saszi wished to get legal sanction to practice Necromancy within the City Limits. Captain Vidal expressly advised Saszi to do anything but and to refrain from doing so at all. Saszi remaining determined, Sir Davion elected to go with the Harengon to meet with Knight-Commander Gamreve to seek permission and to offer testimony on his behalf.

Knight-Commander Gamreve was not convinced and has imprisoned the both of them and keeping the truth from the remaining members of the Six while he carries out his "tests".
