Laugum of House Cressey stands before you. “It will not be long before my father passes from this world, and I shall become the new Lord of House Cressey." he begins. "However, as he approaches death, he has started to speak of the regrets he carries from things left undone, or mistakes in his past." An loud sigh resonates from his lips. "One such mistake was the forging of a Valyrian steel sword he called ‘the Peacekeeper’. Though admirably named and made, it was said that the blade was forged with magic, in the hopes that the enchantment would inspire even the weakest willed soldier to fight with unrivalled fervour! There was no real enchantment, but the thought of there being one did exactly as intended...those dishonourable men who wielded the sword became enthralled to its power. For a time, it was held by the Commander of our house, but the blade was lost when he was killed."
Laugum slowly begins to pace back and forth. "Recently, we have learned that the Peacekeeper resurfaced in the hands of Alekyne Florent, of House Florent. The weapon is to be gifted to the winner of a tournament held one week from today. You must arrive within nine days time and take part in that tournament, hero, and bring the sword back to me so that I may reforge the blade and stem its lust for blood. Should any other touch the sword, I fear the story of the sword will corrupt them and the terror of that blade will be unleashed once more.”

- The Peacekepper: A Valyrian steel blade believed to be cursed by the magic used to forge it. Battle-hardened, the blade has been wielded by many men, most who were not honourable, their lust for power and glory tainting the blade. Now it is said that whomever wields the blade will fall to its dreaded curse, becoming tainted with the desire for power and blood-lust (This as a reward depends on your choices at the end of the Quest).
