Boldhome Heroes

Hail Warlord,

Apologies for not using your name, I have a list of the regimental Commanders but it must be written in Mostali or something as it makes no sense to me, teeny little letters so it's got to be some damn dwarven scribe who compiled it?!

Anyway, I'm writing to you for a most noble purpose AND to prove all this nonsense about alleged cowardice etc is rubbish, I'm as brave as the next warrior, if not braver even, BUT....sigh.....I'm afraid these days my valour must be in the speed of my bandaging and quality of medical care provided for I have embraced the peacefulness and serenity of blessed Mother Chalana Arroy, meaning my fighting days are over. Just goes to show you what a devoted cult member I am that I can put aside my warrior upbringing, step away - undefeated - from the duelling field where I share the title, with a couple of others, of 'Boldhome's Best'*.

However, devoted member that I am it still gnaws away at the warrior deep inside me, I miss the valiant charges, looking your enemy in the face and slugging it out toe-to-toe with the foe, let me confide to you Warlord it never truly leaves you and you don't know how much of a struggle it was to not give Evil Erik a whopping last month. Still, the past is the past and I must now look to the future WHICH is why I had another one of my Llankhor Mhy moments of reflection where the divine Sage of Wisdom revealed to me......Brave Broar, you can still have a piece of that by signing up as a regimental Healer!! By gosh, he is so right, sort of the best of both world's, keep my devotion to the Mother Chalana while being able to be alongside my mates on the field of glory!

I'm going to have a word with our local Chalana Priest and get them to make me up to an Initiate - apparently that'll be no problem, what with me being so blessed in the old Power / magical side of things. Once this is done I can automatically qualify as a regimental Healer, it's as easy as that!

So, that's where you and the Colymar Cavalry come in, I don't think you currently have a Healer.....well, worry no longer, I'm stepping up fill the vacancy! Yes, it'll be great to practice all the healing stuff and to prove it's not me whose giving people causes for challenges, I'm above all this tribal enmity nonsense, Afur and Erik are my friends, let's put an end to the rivalry and, instead, share a mug or two together at the regimental field bar, stand side by side on the battlefield, they with their spears and swords and me with my ointments & bandages. It'll be great to have those two and the rest of the Colymar Cavalry as my comrades......ooooh, I really can't wait!

Confidentially Warlord, I think that becoming your Regimental Healer will give a bit of a test to Afur & Erik too, let us see if they are able to embrace a little of the blessed Mother's serenity by desisting from their obsession with duelling. You see, how would that reflect upon them if they keep challenging a member of their own regiment?!! Surely, it would be catastrophic for them in both a social and military sense, all that risk of personal disgrace? Apparently, so I've heard, if you try and fight a duel vs a member of your own regiment it's off to the FRONT for a whole YEAR! Blimey, that sounds a bit drastic, who'd want to cop that punishment?!

I'll be back in touch once I'm an initiate very soon and we can sort out the necessary swearing of the oath of allegiance and whatever.

Yours eagerly and loyally,

Broar H


*This referring to those of us who have tasted triumph in personal combat, indeed I am undefeated, no other has ever beaten me!

It wasn't done with any malice, simply re Broar in-character. No offence intended, I have removed that bit. Apologies.

It seems the Colymar Cavalry are a Regiment of great renown, I have heard a tale of their bravery that I would like to share with you if I may,


I will tell you a tale of the war, a Colymar Cavalry Patrol had been captured by a Tribe of Lunar Warriors, unfortunately for the three Troopers the tribe were men eaters, the three of them were brought before the Chief. The Human warriors were from the Kehldon, Losaem & Colymar tribes . They stood before the chief expecting death.
Instead he instructed them to go into the forest to gather, Nuts, Fruit & Berries, & return to him. Confused but glad to be allowed to live they did as instructed
The first to return was the Kehldonian warrior he carried a bowl full of Blackberries. The Chief looked at him & said “ I have heard of a way of cooking in your lands I wish to try. Stuffing I believe it is called, So lower your trousers & let us begin. However I am a fair Chief If you can go through the stuffing without laughing I will let you go free. So the Kehldonian lowered his trousers & the chief began to insert the Blackberries, the Kehldonian was brave, he was a hero, he refused to laugh, the chief pushed in the last berry & as promised the no laughing Kehldonian was given his freedom.

Next to return was the Locaemonian who brought a bowl of strawberries, the chief once again Explained his offer of freedom if there was no laughing. Trousers were lowered & the Chief began to Stuff the strawberries into the orifice revealed. The Kehldonian looking on. With only 3 Strawberries in the bowl the Locaemanian began to laugh & the tears began to roll down his cheeks. The Chief was stunned he ordered the guards to lead the captive away to be prepared for the Evening meal.

As he was being led away the Locaemonian managed to get close to speak, he asked what happened you had it in the bag you were almost free, still giggling the Kehldonian replied , I just couldn’t help myself I just saw the Colymarian , he just came out of the jungle with a pair of Coconuts……….
