Winter 492

Peace comes to Logres.
◆ A Londinium Event: With the recent events with King Uther being married, his arranged marriages to his step-daughters, his destruction of Duke Gorlois, and recent victories against the Saxons, the supreme collegium seems ready to vote King Uther in as High King. Your impassioned speech at the council previously, seems to have cemented the deal for the council of Londinium. Still, there is a faction forming against King Uther in secret and you are offered a chance to join the faction… Further, the sudden peace in the kingdom has brought more mundane issues to the forefront. Votes need be made and this means machinations and negotiations unfold.

• Do you join with the anti-Uther faction or work to expose them?
• A new bridge is planning to be built across the Thames. This is one of the larger construction projects since the Romans left and there are skeptics of the project. You have a chance to invest in the building of the bridge: Spend £10 and if the project is successful you will earn a partial right to the tolls on the bridge equal to £1 annually. If the project fails, you lose your investment.
• With the recent fall of Cornwall, tin has become more widely imported, and thus there have been new taxes and kickbacks, especially to the council. Your share is £4.

◆ A traveling mercenary knight named Sir Armel visits your manor says your grandfather, Sir Aldwin saved his life once and the debt was never repaid. He offers to join your service until the debt is repaid.
◆ A tree collapses, blocking a road near your manor. 1 Temporary Lot damage.
◆ You uncover an old silver ring worth £1 in the cellar.
