Stories of Ansalon from the view of Guthan.

Subject     Guthan MacLanisca... Son of
Caergoth

To whom it concerns as they reside in such an
office as is fit to review
this petition for entrance into the
Solamnic Order, my name is Guthan of the
House Lanisca of
Caergoth. 

My father is Elixander Lanisca, who faithfully served
the Lord of Caergoth
Cedrick Veritan as his Weaponsmaster in
years past. My father was a minor
Knight of Solamnia as I
understand it, though due to his attention to his
service of Lord
Cedrick, he has not given any great consideration to
his
Knighthood in my lifetime, having chosen instead to focus on
his duties to
his Lord. Consequently he has told me very little
of his standing or place
in the Knighthood, and the circumstances
that compel me to pen this petition
without the opportunity to
consult with him about it I will detail below. 

As you know, the
borders of Solamnic lands were threatened by maurader
invasions
to the south east stemming from the Khalkist Mountains. When
the
call for volunteers was posted in Caergoth, my friend and I
signed on. For
two years we fought for Solamnia, first by
rebuffing the initial forces of
the invasions, and later by
patrolling our homeland looking for the
scattered pockets of the
invaders who did manage to slip by. We served under
Solamnic
Knights for the bulk of our experience in the two years we
spent
fighting, and despite being unable to integrate fully into
the Solamnic
Knight's forces, we made ourselves useful as willing
combatants in the
defense of our homeland wherever possible.


With the threat to our homelands largely subsided at this point
in time, I
have therefore decided (with the urging of one of my
Solamnic officers) to
petition for acceptance into the Solamnic
Knights. 

I am currently residing in Palanthas, having
accompanied a group of refugees
displaced by the fighting near
Gerighelm to Palanthas along with the
Solamnic officer who urged
me to write this petition and a handful of
volunteers we served
with. This is the reason I am unable to corrospond with
my father
as to the finer points of etiquette regarding this petition,
for
which I apologize now. 

I have trained with my father since
I was a boy in the ways of Knightly
Combat. I find my strength
though in asking Paladine for guidance, which has
led to my
drawing certain abilities through his grace by prayer. 

I ask
you humbly now, as I ask of Paladine, for acceptance into your
order
so that I can better defend our homelands against invasion
and protect our
people from injustice. 

Thank you,
Guthan
MacLanisca di Caergoth.
