Courting nobility

[Adamat]

Earl Harald Jansson set out early, him and a small band of trusted guards moving north towards the coast. He would board a ship near the Scottish border, and travel to Innse Gall - home of the Lady Matilde. The purpose: finding love.

[Mors Vigilia]

It was a rough yet uneventful journey to the isle of Skye.

Matilde made her home in Sleat where the rolling hills gave way to flat plains and jagged black rocks that jutted towards the heavens in defiance of the sea.

The Hereford banner was raised as the buildings of Sleat rose in the distance. Harald would expect some sort of armed force to appear soon, an English banner on the soil of the King of the Isles may have been giving off the wrong signals.

[Mors Vigilia]

The place was quiet, with not a soul to be seen. Whether the English banner had been seen or not, it would appear that a confrontation was not yet on the cards.

Harald made his way to the keep, wondering where everyone had gone.

[Mors Vigilia]

The keep stood beside a large lake. As the Earl's party made their way towards it they noticed three small horses tied to a hitching post by the lake.
