BRIEF STORY: After living eighteen years as an only child (and therefore allowed to become a knight due to her country's custom) C�rt Van Der Hauten, daughter of Duke Denis Van Der Hauten of Phoenix Reach, decided that Knight Errantry would be an interesting line of work. She was barely a knight when her mother announced she was pregnant, as it turned out with a boy. C�rt could hardly believe her luck at being knighted before this troublesome infant screamed his way into the world. She decided to follow her original plan and become a Knight Errant. C�rt set off with the good wishes of her dear parents and with her trusty servant Abd al Jabbar, her warstallion, Torrere and her pair of Lion Hounds, Caedere and Iketus, in tow made her way over the Roof of the World. Many months of travel have brought her to Tortall and finally Corus, where she hopes to find adventure. |
