Sir Arcani Gothfraidh becomes a Black Dragon.
The Greater Dragons are not animalistic, ravenous monsters that prey
upon unwary travellers. They are a noble and extremely powerful race
of beings who dwell on their own plane of existence, created for
them at the end of the Chaos Wars, called the Parthren Gare.

The stone-walled stables are open within the Spire.
The stables of the Wardens stretch out to form a long hall of grey stone topped
by vaulted ceiling that rises high overhead. Mingling with the sweet smell of
hay, the musky scent of the animals penned here wafts upon the air currents that
issue from several open windows, all located at regular intervals in the
uppermost part of the surrounding walls. Stretching down the length of the
corridor, the animal stalls are fashioned to accomodate many various sizes of
mount, while the unique design easily affords room for the holding of several
different species. Within each compartment can be found the same fittings as in
all the rest, each area accessible through two large wooden doors. Feeding
cages, water bowls, tethering posts, and fresh straw can be discerned laid out
upon the floor of each one, accompanied by a curry comb and various brushes used
in the care of mounted animals. The ground between each stall gently slopes
downwards into a narrow gully, facilitating the easy removal of animal waste.
Saddles, ties, riding crops, and numerous types of different riding implements
hang near the wrought-iron gates to the northwest.

The Knights gather the first Hirds.
The Hird is the group of men who had sworn loyalty to a Knight of the
Spire. In peacetime they act as his officials; in war they form
the core of his fighting force. Each Knight is the leader of his Hird
and they answer to the Lord of the Spire.

Tweaking the Path to Knighthood.
Recognizing that a Knight may have different interests, the Cerulean
Spire decided to make the Path to Knighthood wider. The common training
necessary to advance during his time as a Page, grants to the Warden the
basic knowledge that will one day make him a Knight, and allow him to,
on his time as a Student, focus on one of the particular aspects of
knighthood.
The Students can chose three Ways to walk the last part of the Path to
Knighthood. These ways are based on the three aspects of Lorecraft. The
Way of the Defender focus on the martial knowledge, the Way of the
Academia focus on tradition and religion, and the Way of the Explorer
focus on economics, politics and exploration.

The Icon of the Wardens was activated in the Plane of Nishnatoba.
The mystical Shield of Proteus is fashioned partially from the very energies
that went into the barrier woven by Proteus and Lucretius during the War of
Humanity in defense against the Triumvirate forces. The energies have been
concentrated and woven into the form of this mighty shield, one so tall and
broad only a God might be able to wield it with ease. Indecipherable symbols are
carved across most of the shield, but unmistakeably at the centre are the paired
runes of Gebu and Gebo, recognisable as the master of Runelore's mark of
protection. The shield is set upright upon a grey marble pedestal and thrums
constantly with barely-contained power.

The Library of the Wardens is Open.
Immense wooden shelves stretch into the far reaches of this large room, each
groaning under the weight of hefty tomes of Warden lore. Faded labels in a
variety of languages mark each one, ready to lead a student down the rows of
old, multi-coloured texts. A vast collection of historical writings adorn the
bookcases as well, each tidily categorized and precisely placed. Great care has
evidently been taken to archive these chronicles so that one may look for a
particular book and find the very one with ease. A few tables have been set off
to one side, books, still open, strewn across their tops, while a chair or two
has been hidden between cases. A sibilant hush rests in the air, the sound of
whispered snatches of conversation slipping sneakily between the shelves.
A light cerulean wooden bookcase bearing the house
arms of the Wardens of the Cerulean Spire is here.
