The Hero's Portion

New page

==Origin==
In the year 2006, at the evening Feast held at [[Northkeep]]'s wInterKingdom, [[Ian Dun Gillan]], who was landed baron in that day, rose and told a tale. He said that he had recently gone home to the lands of his grandfather, in Calontir, and a great stag hunt had been held. He described the tradition of the hero’s portion, and then gave the venison to an individual he stated was a hero of the hall – Master [[Tarl Godric the Brokentoe|Tarl]]. He asked that after they had an opportunity to sample the venison, that they, too, name a hero of the hall. In this fashion, several people were honored for various reasons.
 
Master Tarl named His Excellency [[Donnchadh Beag mac Griogair]] of Namron.
 
Duncan named Master [[Beorhlic Folcwineson]].
 
Beorhtlic named Honorable Lady [[Elisabeth Christianne de Calais]].
 
Elizabeth de Calais named [[Mehpare Bint Ejer]] for her courage in battling illness.
 
Mepare named Her Excellency [[Ana Maria de Mercedes de Cerdanya]], for a variety of reasons including, "Keeping the boys in line."
 
Mercedes named Lady [[Faolan MacFarlane]].
 
Faolan named Centurian [[Angus Machaid Gunn]].
 
Angus named Her Excellency, [[Elisaveta af Isefjord]] "for all the hard work she does for the Barony."
 
Elizabeta named Honorable Lord Llewellyn Hunt for ‘single-handedly providing us with music.’
 
(At some point, someone) … named Torea of Chemin Noir.
 
Torea named Lady [[Zubeydah]] (However, she spoke so softly, we could not hear the reason given.)
 
Zubeydah named Honorable Lady [[Debroa bat Yosef]], for being the "quiet soul of service in Northkeep."
 
Debroa named [[Ismet al Din Bithia]] and [[Damon Hroarson]]. (Per Damon: “You get one, you get both, but I think it was really Ismet. I'm just the mouthpiece.”)
 
Damon (“the mouthpiece”) and Ismet named Lord [[Johann von Aue]] for “an utterly mundane reason. Anyone who voluntarily puts his life on the line for the rest of us _is_ a hero.” (Johan recently returned from a Tour of Duty in Iraq with the National Guard.)
 
Johan Von Aue named [[Wilhelm der Wulf von dem Schwarzwald]] “for their military brotherhood under whom he enjoyed serving for quite some time.”
 
Wilhelm named Kayte.
 
Kayte named Lady [[Lynn the Inquisitive]].
 
Lynn named [[Keigan of Ravensfaire]].
 
The feast ended before the Hero’s Portion had all been consumed, and Baron Ian bid that it continue its journey until the plate was empty.
 
This tradition has carried forward through the years, and is a part of the wInterKingdom feast that is looked forward to each year. Their Excellencies have a haunch of venison prepared, and heros are named.
