[k] @Tam Lin Gawain You want to talk to me about Lancelot, right? Very well then, ask me anything you wish to[line 2] [k] ?1:Actually, I wanted to ask about you. ?! @Tam Lin Gawain ... [k] [charaFace C 0] @Tam Lin Gawain ...I see. You're trying to figure out my True Name. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Pointless, but I can at least respect your willingness to try anything you can. [k] [charaFace C 13] @Tam Lin Gawain Come to think of it, I still haven't properly thanked you for your help earlier today, have I? Come. Sit. If you wish to talk, I can indulge you for a short while. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Tam Lin Gawain I manifested in Britain four hundred years ago. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain I was meant to be the next generation[line 2]the successor of an upper-class Fang clan faerie in Norwich... [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Except that I didn't look anything like my predecessor. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Even though I'm a Fang clan faerie, I was born resembling a Wind clan one... No, if anything, I looked like a human. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Some suspected I might be a changeling. Others said I was a curse from the battle against the mors that took place six hundred years ago. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. I don't know the truth, and I don't care, either. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain I earned the honor of becoming a Tam Lin when I ended the Caterpillar War. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Up until that point, the title of Tam Lin had been sealed away for all eighteen-hundred years of the high queen's reign. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain In case you don't know, the Tam Lin title originally belonged to the retainers of Aesc, who was said to be Britain's savior in the Fae Era. [k] [charaFace C 8] @Tam Lin Gawain The first Tam Lin was called... Hm?[sr]I'm sorry, I actually can't remember their name. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Tam Lin Gawain At any rate, they met their end in Orkney. After that, the queen forbade the naming of more Tam Lin. [k] [charaFace C 12] @Tam Lin Gawain But, she decided to revoke her own seal to exterminate the endlessly spawning caterpillars. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Thus, I was Gifted the name of Sir Gawain, which is said to be the name of a knight of the Round Table of a foreign land... [k] @Tam Lin Gawain And gained the means to strengthen my horn. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain My Galatine... I believe you call it a Noble Phantasm? [k] @Tam Lin Gawain While I'm confident it is every bit the equal of Sir Gawain's original... [k] @Tam Lin Gawain I'm just as confident that I can't hold a candle to the real Sir Gawain...the Knight of the Round Table from Proper Human History. [k] ?1:(...That sounded pretty significant...) ?2:(Huh. I didn't think she would have so much respect[csr]for the Knights of the Round Table...) ?! [charaFace C 0] @Tam Lin Gawain ...But never mind. I shouldn't be talking about the Round Table. I'm told it's creepy when I do so, for some reason. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Let's see. What else can we talk about... Ah, I know. Let's talk about the war against the mors. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain This war took place a millennium ago, along with one of the Great Calamities, during the one-thousandth year of the Era of the High Queen. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain It was a time when the mors had a king and an army, and waged war against the high queen and five of the six clans. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Apparently, this king was something of an odd duck.[sr]He never attacked faeries or killed humans. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain All he cared for was fire and lightning. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain He would gleefully destroy anything, and then only for the joy of watching it burn. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain He reduced cities and forests to cinders, razed the ground before him, and summoned rain clouds just to hear their thunder. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Some faeries called him the Storm King, at least until the high queen forbade anyone from speaking that name. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain The war against the mors king lasted for decades, until finally, the Fang clan brought it to an end. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Woodwose, a faerie who had recently succeeded the previous head of the Fang clan at the time, was the one who dealt the final blow. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain And so, the Great Calamity[line 2]the king of the mors who feasted on magical energy[line 2]was defeated before the Fang clan. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain However...it's said that with his dying breath, the king cast a curse upon the Fang clan. [k] ?1:A curse? ?2:What kind of curse? ?! @Tam Lin Gawain ...The faerie-eating black dogs. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain It was only after the king of the mors vanished that the black dogs began to roam Faerie Britain. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain However, they also eat mors, so they're not just harmful. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain There are even some squads who train black dogs and use them in mors hunts. [k] [charaFace C 12] @Tam Lin Gawain Mine is one of them, in fact. Have you ever heard the epithet “the Black Dog Duchess”? It refers to me. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain Even now that I've become a Tam Lin, I'm still called a black dog. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain I don't blame them, though. After all, I eat everything[line 2]including faeries and humans. [k] ?1:Huh? ?! [charaFace C 13] @Tam Lin Gawain Oh? Now you're scared of me? [k] @Tam Lin Gawain So you had no idea you were trying to get information out of a woman feared throughout Faerie Britain as a monster? [k] [charaFace C 0] @Tam Lin Gawain Well, worry not. I would never eat you.[sr]I only consume the strong. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain I'm unusual for a faerie. What I eat makes me stronger. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain In fact, I can inherit any unusual powers or abilities the faeries I eat may possess, though with limits on capacity and compatibility. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain And right now, I'm still full on Foul Weather, the great Earth clan faerie. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain ...I needed his sacrament for the Caterpillar War.[sr]It was crucial. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain But he had holed up in his fortress in Cornwall, and refused to come out. [k] @Tam Lin Gawain So I challenged him to a duel, defeated him, and devoured him.
