Bisland Knighting of Lady Joslyn
Posted by Samael on 12/24/17
To accept the oaths of Knighthood in the sight of Gloria, is to break the shackles of selfishness. To devote yourself to the duchy and to champion her ideals and proudly protect her defenseless is to do a fine thing.
Lady Joslyn Stonewood was born in Tor, the city of roses. A city much like Pridehall, known for it's military might. It was there that young Joslyn was taught to fight by her mother, Chiara Manicelli. When Joslyn struck out on her own and arrived in Arx, she did not shrink back from the chance to use her mother-given abilities in the fight against the Bringers of Silence. When they attacked the city, she fought back. Since then, she has fought alongside great warriors of the Compact of the likes of our Princess-General Reese Grayson and the late Dame Zhayla of Old Oak. She helped hold the various points of defense during the great siege of Arx, the final battle against Brand.
After Lady Joslyn chose to join House Stonewood, she helped the house regain lost land, restore a lost county and raise the silver to support those campaigns. She has tirelessly fought for her liege and loyally sacrificed her own wellbeing on her behalf. She nearly died, in fact, during her service to the Crownlands.
She has proved to be a great friend and loyal servant to House Stonewood, House Bisland and House Grayson. I can think of no other person more worthy of the title of Knight of Pridehall.
Her oath as witnessed by an assembly of peers:
In the sight of Gloria, I do so vow: I pledge myself to valor, never shall I desert. I swear to protect the defenseless, or fall in the attempt. I give myself to justice, my honor will not bend. I shall champion House Bisland. We win glory.
