After the success of the Lindsey Embassy, the king wants to send messengers out to other nearby kings, inviting them back to Lindsey to visit him. A group of knights is sent to the court of the King of Malahaut, Heraut de Apres at the city of Eburacum.
The knights are allowed only into the Old City, south of the river. They won’t get across the bridge, or into either of the gates to the Royal City.
The Centurion King is out, fighting against Saxons to the east. The knight are told they can wait in Eburacum, or get someone to take them to the army.
The ride out with a guide, to find the king in the field. They avoid Saxon pillagers and scouts along the way. They have some difficulty finding the king. When they do find the king, he asks their business.
The Centurion King asks the ambassadors’ business. He listens, and then says scornfully, “Tell King Uther that I will visit him when I have the leisure time.” He then turns away, dismissing the knights.
Shortly thereafter, one of his courtiers gives the player knights letters of safety to leave the kingdom. It is a cold ride home.
