About Sir Seamus of KlanachIn a far distant future and reality…:
The master tutor urges his vacant eyed pupil to focus on his tome. “Now turn to page 76, the second section… - Why do I have to learn about the Lame King? How could he ever be important to study if he is lame? - Well, people are often mistaken by the name; the word referred to his condition not his accomplishments. In many ways he was perhaps one of the greatest kings the kingdom has ever known… Background:
Young Sir Seamus of Klanach, had it all; he was a strong and athletic young boy with dashing good looks composed of deep brown eyes and thick black hair. He radiated nobility and life, and he was the subject of admiration… but then came the “accident”. The day of the “accident”, the young royal squires were goofing off at who would be the champion of the king’s tourney, when Seamus lost control of his mount and was dragged off through the woods… Despite the best healers following the incident, Seamus never truly recovered his agility and mobility. Something else changed in Seamus after the accident; his kind and courteous manners became interrupted by occasional fits of anger or long periods of vacantness. Following the untimely death of his elder brother and the ensuing rumors, Seamus could no longer handle the pressures of court life. Desperate to return to his formal physical self and biter about his physical disability he set out to cure his affliction... Though unsuccessful in ever finding a direct solution to his ailments, the long months traveling in search of tales and lost lore, allowed Seamus to achieve a degree of peace and serenity, that court life had never allowed. He became more attuned to his surroundings and acceptant of his current fate. He grew more social again constantly staying up late to hear some new tails from a new face. He began dreaming of a better future again. When he finally returned to Castle Klanach after a long winter errand it was to find out that his father was ill and the king had passed. The thought of the ensuing court machinations dizzyed Seamus's mind; but he was promptly sent a missive by his father to head for the capital to consolidate the family’s position. The missive was accompanied by the banner of the Brass Dragon. While Seamus holds only the lowly title of Baron, his father is Duke. His paternal grandfather had neglected his claim to the throne to pursue his religious faith, but grandfather was the eldest brother of the deceased kings father. His own father, an only son, now had a claim to the throne! And one day soon, so could he!
