Formed in the year 1379D by Myrmeen Lhal as she assumed official position as Queen of the Free State of Arabel, the court is made up of ex-Phoenix Legion and Crown sympathizers alike, many with differing views on the direction the state should take. The events that led up to the creation of the court involve the recovery of the Goldfeather sword by adventurers, who handed it to Myrmeen. The Goldfeather sword is the weapon of the last true heir to Arabel, granting the wielder—in the eyes of many—the right to lead the city.
