Sussex, Kent and Surrey

[Stildawn]

A party of Black Knights arrived at the capitals of the counties... Representatives of the House of O'Hagan began to meet with various local leaders to bring the new counties into the fold...

[Lord William]

Lady Elphinstone kindly greets the visitors, and asks them to sit down
So why art thou here ?

[Stildawn]

The Black Knights were surprised the Lady was in these southern lands... And not north with the rest of her husbands estates...

"Milady... I have been sent to acclamate these counties into the O'Hagan fold..."

[Lord William]

I am sorry Sir, thou must be mistaken the counties of Surrey and Kent belong to the Elphinstone Family

[Stildawn]

The Knight was puzzled... He smiled politely...

"Im sorry milady... You must be mistaken... Your husband has gained considerable lands in ireland... With the transfer of Kent and Surrey to my Lord..."

The Knight handed over a page...
