	This is the tale that my father, Ryan Llanis Blach, told me of his home land. My previous stories have recounted how my father came from a very long way away from the Kingdoms, from where he travelled across three vast oceans, 2 deserts, forests and more to eventually settle down in Northern Han. But this story is about him and his Rheged Longsword, from a time when my father was young and was a fit and furious warrior, from where he and his Rheged brethren fought under a mighty King Arthr to drive back an invading army of metal from his homeland.

	It took 4 years for him to be trained in the ways of the warrior. He became very adept with the Longsword, famed throughout the empires and lands. Rheged soldiers used these to great effect, it is a thin, long, sharp sword that in the hands of a skilled warrior, darts around like a viper, rapidly probing an opponent’s defences, disarming him and then ripping his skin. It is a balanced weapon, light but sharp, straight and with good proportions to its blade. Ryan Blach, it was said, could cut down a man in seconds and was so quick that two enemies could be fought and vanquished at once.		It took 4 years for him to be trained in the ways of the warrior.

			Arthr declared a full war on the Romans 12 years after his first attack on Cearel. Twenty one years old, Ryan was put in the advanced unit which would attack the Romans first. 40 people woudl swim across the Solwayy, around the wall at Caerel, and sneak into the city. The Romans were spread too thin to maintain a garrison along each part of the wall and this party would open the gates to allow Arthr's army into Caerel and beyond.

			Ryan and thirteen others survived the mission. They were caught trying to attack Caerel by a company of horsemen, preparing ready for battle with the Celts, who attacked the warriors with little thought. They had 75 men and mounts between then and Ryan's fifty men launched a desperate attack. At dawn, those waking early would see the blood stained earth, the dead, the broken weapons and sheilds that surrounded the victorious Celts finishing off the last few horsemen. With their blades glinting in the morning sun, the warriors, breathing hard from 3 hours of fighting, eventually killed the last horsemen. Ryan had taken 13 himself, throughout the night, his blade had seemed like ten as he rapidly shook off attack after attack. A few boys with the Romans later swore to their commanders that Ryan himself breathed fire and angels surrounded him with their swords and fought for him. It was a testament to his skill and quickness with the blade.


			Caerel's gate was taken by the Celts. In fact the gatehouse was empty as the few Roman guards had seen the fight in the fields behind the wall and, when Ryan had turned and led the charge, had run for their lives along it to escape. Arthr's men were let inside the wall and with in the day, 150 Romans had been slaughter as the Roman parts of Cearel was again sacked. From here, King Arthr knew he could collect support from around the occupied parts of Rheged to boost his army further. With in 3 weeks, Arthr was commanding and leading 600 warriors and their servents, wives, women and horses south along the straight, wide roads the invaders loved building.

			==The Rheged Longsword of Ryan Llanis Blach==

			'''(Father of Ffyll Blach, current subject of Her Majesty Princess Lasahn of Buya)'''

			This is the tale that my father, Ryan Llanis Blach, told me of his home land. My previous stories have recounted how my father came from a very long way away from the Kingdoms, from where he travelled across three vast oceans, 2 deserts, forests and more to eventually settle down in Northern Han. But this story is about him and his Rheged Longsword, from a time when my father was young and was a fit and furious warrior, from where he and his Rheged brethren fought under a mighty King Arthr to drive back an invading army of metal from his homeland.

			The Kingdom of Rheged was, at that time, under a bitter struggle. For almost a hundred and three score years the land of the Celtic Britons had been ruled by this invading army from the South. This army was ruthless. They cut down everyone in their path and, at the northern most reaches of their mighty and vast empire, they built a huge wall to keep the barbarian hoardes, as they saw the Celts, out. This wall compares to in the world, it is higher and longer than any found in all of Europe, Asia or the dark Africa. The invaders built it and no one could attack them.

			Now at one end of this wall, in the west, was my father's town. This was Caerel, a city as big as Kugnae and every bit as handsome. The invaders, who called themselves the Romans, built the city and owned everything there. The merchants, the smiths, the horsemen and shepherds all paid a large tribute to their occupiers. They were powerless to resist and their sad and pitiful lives in occupied Rheged continued.

			My father was nine when King Arthr first attacked Caerel. His magnificent war chariot and horsemen, his fine warriors with their longswords and great sheilds attacked the great wall. For the first time in almost a century, the wall was breached and the 100 men warriors ransacked the fortifications. The defending armies, superior in number, were rattled and fled the town. Arthr's men, including the men from the tribes of the Picts, Celts, Britons and Scots, were eventually pushed back on the 4th day of the battle when reinforcements arrived. My father, Ryan, fled with Arthr's army. He'd seen the courage the resistors had and didn't think twice about leaving his home town.

			It took 4 years for him to be trained in the ways of the warrior. He became very adept with the Longsword, famed throughout the empires and lands. Rheged soldiers used these to great effect, it is a thin, long, sharp sword that in the hands of a skilled warrior, darts around like a viper, rapidly probing an opponent’s defences, disarming him and then ripping his skin. It is a balanced weapon, light but sharp, straight and with good proportions to its blade.

	Hello, my dear reader. My name is Ffyll Oust Blach, though I prefer just Ffyll for some reasons. So you wish to read my story, the tale of how I arrived in Buya? It will take a while to read, forgive me, but I can leave no details out. My journey has taken me to the brink of death, redeemed my soul from that brink, and now I seek the ways of the Do, knowing that my heart is Do. If you can learn something from my tale, then learn; if you feel I've missed a part out that you were in, add it; and if you think it will make a good tale for a campfire in the midst of a wood in the company of friend, then don't hesitate to recall. It is, like every story, unfinished, but this first tale will tell you more of who I am.		Hello, my dear reader. My name is Ffyll Oust Blach, though I prefer just Ffyll for some reasons.
