Duke Mordrid's Cursed Army of Mousillon
Duke Mordrid "The Black Knight" (Vampire Lord)
The bastard son of King Louen Leoncoeur, Mordrid was trained in the fighting styles of Mousillon & soon rivaled Landuin's skill in battle. Overcome by hatred and jealousy of his father through the stories told by his mother, the Lady Morgan, Mordrid swore to one day take his father's throne by force of arms. As Mordrid came of age he set off upon his Quest just like every noble must; however his Quest was for the Holiest Grail... The grail containing, the "Elixir of Life." He crossed the vast expanse of the Old World and the Great Desert, battling foes where he met them. After many years his Quest brought him to the Silver Pinnacle of The Lady Neferata where he endured many trials and eventually gained her favor and was permitted a sip of the Elixir of Life concluding his Quest and gaining the strength to raise an army to conquer all of Bretonnia!
