Money for nothin and chicks for free
The entourage from Rheged is a respectful size. It is not too ostentatious, but then again, it's not lacking in security for their king. As it is, he's here to discuss some very important business with the King of Camelot.
Five years ago, a contract, which Urien himself carries, was signed by a certain sorceress, Morgause. When Morgause and her sister fled his kingdom, he had little desire to have it fulfilled, and thus let them go. He'd kept tabs on them. He'd heard about the tragedy in Lot's kingdom (which is a tragedy inasmuch as Urien's lost the signatory to the contract) and then Morgana had disappeared entirely. Since then, he's been on the lookout for another bride of equal wealth and stature. He's been unlucky thus far as Morgana had set the highest of standards, in all ways. He'd almost married the Lady Ragnell, but all the money in the world wouldn't have been enough to tolerate her hideousness. Even Urien has his standards.
Then the rumours started circulating about the lady's return to favour with her brother. Those were quickly followed by rumours of an engagement to the court sorcerer, which, as certain events now proved, is now powerless. Without the magic of Merlin to fear, and the safety of the law on his side in the form of a contract, Urien's come to Camelot to claim what is rightfully his.
So here is the diplomatic party from Rheged. They expect to return to their country with their future queen.
