Battle at the castle of Argrove

The battle at the castle of Argrove was a battle between House Moore of Godspool and House Blackhold of Blackhold. It was started when Lord Beric of Blackhold made claim to the Goodwater, and his claims reached into the streams and lands controlled by House Moore of Godspool.

Prelude

The bitterness between the two houses started long before the war. It is claimed that the Lord Moore frequently insulted the Blackholds, calling them "Bastard's Brood" and that "the Goodwater is tainted by their mere prescence. House Blackhold would continue to best the knights of Moore in the tournaments, and some said that the true power of the heart of Majik were the Blackhold's. Both of these would get to Beric's head and he would make claims on the Goodwater.

Battle

The battle is described as a muddy and bloody mess. It was a chaotic conflict. The Lord of House Moore and his brother would perish in the fight, but the Lord's son would rally the troops against House Blackhold and lead them to victory. Each houses forces returned to their respective keeps after the battle, as they were both bloodied and broken.

Aftermath

King Arthur Ottez arrived at the castle of Argrove to make peace between the two houses. The Lords of Moore and Blackhold arrived again at Argrove, this time with much smaller hosts. Lord Gunthor Moore demanded Beric be punished for the death of his father and uncle. Beric claimed the Lord Moore had already been plotting against his family. King Arthur sided with the Moores, and gave Beric the option of giving up his title, or death. Beric chose to die a lord. He was executed by Godric Moore, the Lord Commander of King Arthur's kingsguard. As he had no issue, the Blackhold went to Beric's brother, Garon. The feud between the two continued, but there would not be another war.
