Conall Keough (1421)

Conall Keough
Clan O’Casey

You are the champion of Clan O’Casey. You were adopted into the clan by the clan leader, Rónán O’Casey, when you where found as a lad on the outskirts of the clan’s land. The knight you were training under had turned you out. Several warriors raised you over the next few years, but they were no match for your skill. You picked up on some of the martial skills that the Englishman wasn’t able to teach you. Next thing you know, you were challenging for the right to be Clan Champion.

Your dreams have come true at last. This weekend there is a joust and you are clan O’Casey’s Champion. Two things are happening. First, Cormac O’Reily is giving his daughter, Generis, to the winner of the joust. You have seen Generis on many occasions with Rónán’s twin sisters Dearbháil and Gráinne. Generis is a fine looking wench that you wouldn’t mind marrying. Second, Olyver Moore is entering the joust. He is a squire to the same knight that trained you, and intends on using this event to show his prowess and readiness to move through the ranks. If you get to meet him in a match, you could really strike a blow against the English, and your former teacher. A killing blow could also improve your clan’s status amongst the Irish and make women fawn over you.

Going with you to the joust will be your student Fáelán O’Byrne. This will be the first joust that he has been too. You need to show him that sometimes chivalry doesn’t win, and that every little bit can help when it comes to a tournament. He is fairly impressionable and will do your bidding in an effort to become your second on a permanent basis. Lastly, Cináed Lynch will be accompanying the clan. He is wee bit to the left of right in the mind, but he is always useful in a fight.

Win the joust and you can run off with your virgin bride and be a major player in local politics. Rónán will need your help in finding some more food or aid for the clan because of the famine that has struck the countryside. Winning the tournament will ensure some more aid from Cormac O’Reilly, but the clan is in desperate straights and might need more aid than a simple tournament can provide. Any side deals that you can make involving your twin sisters could help the O’Caseys in more ways than you can count. You’re not above dealing with the English, because you know that your sisters will do their duty and strike a killing blow against their future husbands when the time is right.

What is this?
