So far not much happening in the campaign as people are still sorting out figures etc.

However Lemmarius's rather fragile hold on reality has been noted by a few, he was recently seen walking by the local river muttering "Where are all the papyrus?" and "Shouldn't Eden be a bit warmer?"


Note for the geographically challenged (southerners) The Vale of Eden is at the centre of the Kingdom of North Rheged and flows through Carlisle.  All rather ironic for a character claiming descent from a Nubian Warlord.

 . Sounds about right! Brill Dan.

Is that the bit on the map marked "here be dragons"?

QuoteIs that the bit on the map marked "here be dragons"?

Only in the sense that it's north of Watford.

But there are no serpents in Eden, don't you know any history? 

No Dragons live south and west of the Welsh Dee - least that's what the natives think trains are......

HERE be dragons



Bucharest, Romania apparently.

Oh, I like that. How do you fancy creeping in at dead of night, removing the dragon's head and making the hole very much bigger? Do you think it would worry the residents?   

And I thought this was going to be about Lemmy's prodigious 10mm output.

Which has slowed right down at the moment...
Although the rats are now base coated and inked...

The Following is taken from the 'Annals of Northern Rheged' and records the first battle of 'Lemmarius the Insane'

In the year of our Lord 580 the men of Britain were hard pressed by the barbaric pagan Saxons, Picts, Scotti and other ignorant and unwashed men too numerous and foul to mention.  By the grace of God the Kingdom of Northern  Rheged was saved from their depredations until April of that year when the Saxons of Bernacia foolishly chose to raid that Land.

By many diverse and sly routes the Saxons made their way into Northern Rheged, ravaged the land and made off with a vast flock of sheep, hoping to scuttle back to their heathen land before the wrath of the Lord could fall upon them.  In this wish the heathen were sadly disappointed and the men of the North, led by Lemmarius fell upon them.

Hampered by their ill-gotten gains the Saxons moved with all the fleetness of the legendary sloth creature from the exotic lands of the Amazons.  Great was the slaughter of the ungodly, many Saxons fell to the blades of the faithful, including one of their leaders in iniquity (this chronicle will not sully itself by recording his name), in return the Saxons handled their weapons with all the skill and vigour of geriatric nursemaids, although a few lucky blows slew a handful of the British and sore wounded Lemmarius who stood with his warriors all through the day.

The battle was long and bloody and ended only at the fall of darkness when the Saxons fled the field of slaughter, many moons will wax and wane before before they dare to disturb the peace of Northern Rheged and trouble the men of Lemmarius.  The flocks of the north were returned to their home fells and the innocent animals spared a hideous and unnatural fate at the hands of the pagan Saxon.

Such was the scale of the victory that men flocked to the banner of Lemmarius, filling the ranks of the slain and providing him with a new unit of men skilled in the arts of skirmish.

Your chroniclers scribe well!
Did Lemmarius require the Holy Sticking Plaster of Lundy or is he fully recovered from his wounds?

As is quoted in the 'Great Book of Annals of Leychton Bustard': "Any illuminations?"

Just the usual Saturday night in the town centre after a home game, then? 

QuoteDid Lemmarius require the Holy Sticking Plaster of Lundy or is he fully recovered from his wounds?

As is quoted in the 'Great Book of Annals of Leychton Bustard': "Any illuminations?"

The wounds of Lemmarius were anointed with sacred oil distilled from the holy bones of St Brushinarius the trice annoying and he recovered his full vigour forthwith.

Unfortunately such was the speed of the men of rheged that the prelimiary sketches of the the holy illuminators were out of focus too blurred to be worked up into a full illumination however it is hoped that Lemmarius will concent to posing for the picture smiths of Shield Wall magazine.

Glad to hear he's recovered.

Brushinarious was canonized!? One would believe he should have been condemned to eternal purgatory for his blasphemousness actions! Someone must have recognised his divinity posthumously!
