| - Sir Tristram (Tristan, Tristen) was part of King Arthur's Round Table. [1]This is a quick reference on the story of Tristram. The story centers on disguise and the trap of chivalry. It also focuses on love as described in this [2]poem. Already in C/G we have Jordon's sword (The Sword of David) which once belonged to Galahad. This represents Faith. We have Excalibur which represents Truth. Now we learn there is another element to bring together, a wooden staff. According to some Arthurian legend, Tristram and Isolde, ill-fated as they were, were buried next to each other upon their deaths. Planted at their graves was a myrtle tree, and another tree. The trees twisted and grew around each other, and could not be seperated, testament of their undying love for one another. Dame Valient has put together pieces of a much larger puzzle and has pushed Jordon as the master librarian to research and direct the quest. In this plot we wanted to look at the code, and what it meant to be a knight: 1) Warrior chivalry, in which a knight's chief duty is to his lord, as exemplified by Sir Gawain in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight 2) Religious chivalry, in which a knight's chief duty is to protect the innocent and serve God, as exemplified by Sir Galahad or Sir Percival in the Grail legends, and 3) Courtly love chivalry, in which a knight's chief duty is to his own lady, and after her, all ladies, as exemplified by Sir Lancelot in his love for Queen Guinevere or Sir Tristram in his for Iseult [3]Millenium [4]Cairo [5]Sarras [6]For Love: A Breakdown in Rush Skie joins the group at stage two of the quest in Rush, Ireland. Aris, also there mentions the seeing the second seal (Red Horse) and Skie confronts the third seal (Black horse) and explores what love means to him. The Staff: Created as a result of love it may be able to resurrect the dead. Powers to be revealed by its owner in the future Owner: Skie The Cup: A simple gold challis this was used to carry the original love potion Isolde gave to Tristram. As such it may still contain the magic as well as be a piece of historical import. It carries her family crest Owner: Mr Kuro -> Brynn ->Jordon Mordred's Crown: Mordred stole King Arthur's crown while he was away searching for Lancelot. It is required to complete a set of items. Powers of its own are unknown at this time. Owner: Talon Galahad's Shield: White with a red cross. Traditional defensive weapon. Magical properties unclear. Owner: Brynn
