Quoted By:
>SELECTED: A Cantonion Knight of no small renown, one who would certainly be counted among the Knights of the Realm. He has a fearsome reputation, with great feats over mighty foes back home. You had heard that he had fallen in battle several years ago, but he is living proof as to why one should not put much stock in peasant rumours. The boy you would have only dreamed of rubbing shoulders with the likes of him. [Hearty]
You recognise the knight standing before you immediately. The yellow/black spiked seahorse is easily recognisable as belonging to House Jurand, a significant Pascae family based out of the port town of Calais that borders Aubres territory. But the personal heraldry of this knight is well known to you even if you had no idea who the Jurand’s were, the spiked crest on the seahorse and spear pointed down into a wave is known to all as belonging to the Wave of Calais, Sir Adelard Jurand.
His younger years of knighthood were spent serving the Order of the Trident, that brotherhood of knights dedicated the the protection of mercantile passage and trade in the seas surrounding Canton. His service with that order ended poorly when he set fire to a Langlish merchantmen anchored in Port Bounty as part of the ongoing talks surrounding the renewal and expansion of a pre-existing maritime treaty.
The captain of the scorched ship was a privateer suspected to have occasionally targeted stray Cantonion vessels, but the destruction of his vessel demolished any progress that had been made during the diplomatic negotiations thus far. Upon his resignation from the Order Sir Jurand famously and publicly described them as <span class="mu-i">”a syndicate of pacifist merchant guards playing at knighthood."</span>
Before the week was out he had duelled a dozen of his former comrade-knights infumed over the open slight, leaving at least one crippled for life and another dead.
