Welcome to the Round Table of Bretonnia!

few months after my triumphant return from the Forest of Arden and the ceremony that instated me as fully pledged defender of the Realm, my father rode to Lyonesse to take control of the Duke’s fleet to battle with the norse raiders of the Cape Sorrow. A bit more explanation of the situation might be in order: after the last incursion of Chaos in those days into the realms the norse invaders captured a sea fort off the north coast of Lyonesse, mounted on top of a large cliff that was rampant in open sea, it was found to be impregnable by all means. From this stronghold the raiders attacked our shipping lanes and merchants, striking fast and then to withdraw cowardly into the safe caverns underneath the fortress. The King in his great wisdom realising the danger to trade along the coast sent a Royal fleet to Lyonesse at which our Duke added a flotilla of galleons. The Duke then summoned my father to command his fleet and as duty calls my father obeyed. As I’ve told before, this situation hastened my errant to fight a fearful enemy and my father could leave, knowing the lands would be in the hands of a good regent, monitored by a pious and just woman, my mother.  

This article provides an approach used by the author to develop a thematic Bretonnian heraldry that is based on the principles of traditional heraldry and that can be applied to any Bretonnian army, whether it comprises the latest or an earlier release of miniatures.

Issuing the Challenge

    Bretonnia is a generally peaceful place where people of most all races are allowed. This means the ignorant, rude, uncultured, and offensive. To prevent nasty things like bar brawls, conspircay, murder, and Shakesperean revenge and tragedy; Bretonnia has a famous custom of settling matters with a Duel of Honour. To issue a challenge, simply go to the Duels of Honour thread, located in the Guildhall of the Wayfarers(Rp Section), and state the offense given and the challenge. A neutral referee or moderator will show up saying they will roll the dice. Send the neutral party your character, and the referee will fight out the duel and post in a nice and literary manner.

As may be recalled from the previous Battle Logs of the previous two battles, things were looking quite nicely for the Bretonnians, who were beginning to breathe easier in light of the Chaos invasion. And then the "Ambush" happened. Some will say generations from now that it was inevitable and necessary, and still yet others will never forgive nor forget the decision to try to ambush so large a force of Chaos troops with so few and inexperienced Bretonnian valiants.
