History

Lord Gavadel is one of the youngest sons of Oberon, one-time King of Amber and brother to the current king, Random. Wandering amongst shadows for generations, he came to this one a few years ago, serving as a Justicar. Eventually feeling the hard-core line taken by their leaders wasn't for him, he set himself to trying to find his place. A few months in the wild as a ranger allowed him to clear his head somewhat. It was on the island of Hanoma that he made peace with himself, studying under the masters of those who attune themselves with the island, it's that place that keeps Gavadel from leaving the Primal Plane, as much of his power comes from the visualisation of that island.

The Green Lantern Corps marked his return to civilisation, but the mix of magics with warrior never really fitted his style. Taking his leave and finally severing his ties with Tyr, resigning even as a Questor, Gavadel disappeared for a few months, rumored to be to Amber itself. On his return he came wielding his ancient blade Meridiandal with it's sister-shield Yrenasand. Finally appearing in Avalon, he signed up with the Knights of the Round Table. However for his mount he forgoes the noble steeds of Arthur, and the sight of the amberite circling above the town of Camelot on his pegasus Fledge has become a usual one. He exhibits the usual strengths and weaknesses of one of his race, however it should be noted even other amberites consider his strength to be of legend. And when his hand wields the blade of Meridiandal, the forces of chaos take heed.

Squires

Gavadel's life is an eventful one, due to... various factors the survival rate amongst those in his service is pretty low. However the position is an esteemed one and many have tried, and most have failed. They've died due to misadventure, lost in the jungles of the south, eaten by dragons, more than a few during one of Gavadel's assaults on Angband or Bloodmoon Temple, fallen, slain by supposed allies during combat.

The first squire of Gavadel's to be knighted was Sir Tebilir Fecnemathson a young male human from Camelot who survived numerous adventures in the far north and against the undead. His most significant contribution was keeping his Lord alive during a nasty incident with the Balrog of the Shadow Tower. Needless to say, the former master and former squire are pretty close and Gavadel can't help but worry when his young protegè gets sent by Arthur on errands and has had him assigned as a Captain in charge of Camelot's yeomen. Other Knights who survived Gavadel's tutorage include Sir Gymdenan Crofter of Camelot, noted for his brave stand by his master's side on the Field of the Blood Moon, which was motivation enough for Gavadel to take him as his squire, Sir Dizallo of Devonshire, now serving with his friend Gymdenan as in charge of the guard of the gate of the castle and Sir Horcimis, another of Lord Gavadel's squires, a human from Camelot. Sir Iseltor Scriptor has joined the group who've survived Gavadel's training, another human from Camelot.

Personal Items

Gavadel has borne more than a few things over his career, his mainstay is of course the armour granted to all of Arthur's knights, which Gavadel prefers over various other options. For fighting the forces of evil, he tends to use a holy bastard sword and kite shield. His prowess with both of these is legendary. Despite leaving Tyr, due to his attunement with Hanoma and Arthur's support of the forces of Order, Gavadel has joined with the Forces of Law and Order under Eshara. It is when faced with the enemies of Order he brings to bear his legendary items.

Meridiandal

This is a steel longsword of unearthly craftsmanship, with an edge whose glitter seems less a matter of reflecting light than of slicing it to shards. The apparent skill of its forging makes less of an impression, however, than the lines of glowing energy embedded within it, forming an odd pattern that tugs at the mind like a distant snatch of a song that one has not heard since childhood. This blade is named Meridiandal, and if legend holds true, it is the personal blade of Gavadel of Amber, and the lines within it are an image of a fragment of the Pattern, the source of cosmic order. It is permeated by a shimmering radiance. It has a webwork of silvery light within and around it. It is in perfect condition. It looks about a twentieth of a dimin wide and fifteen dimins long. It weighs very little.

Yrenasand

This is a kite shield made of steel. The quality of its craftsmanship is exquisite. Lines of glowing energy are embedded within it, describing a strange pattern that attracts one's attention like the hint of a taste that one cannot quite identify. Its name is Yrenasand, and story would have that it is the personal shield of Gavadel of Amber, and that the lines within it are an image of a fragment of the Pattern, the source of cosmic order. It is permeated by a dim silvery light and a shimmering radiance. It is in perfect condition. It looks about seven and a half dimins across and a twentieth of a dimin long. It weighs about one dekan.

Fledge

This is a pegasus mare with a brown coat, yellow wings, raven-black mane and tail, and brown eyes. Her demeanor contains a mixture of caution and curiousity. She looks about twenty-five dimins long, six and three tenths dimins wide and twelve and a half dimins tall. She is in good shape. She sparkles faintly with brown light.

Not an item per se, Fledge the Pegasus is Gavadel's constant companion during his adventures. The pegasus is fiercely loyal of her friend, it should be noted however that the survival rate of Gavadel's squires and other companions has gone up since she joined up, as she's particularly protective of the less seasoned types that tag along on Gavadel's escapades.
