I need some help in placing this into my campaign.

We have just had the Sword Lake adventure, and the winter phase of 486 is coming up fast.

I am tempted to announce that Uther will be changing his progress late in the year and arriving in Sarum pretty much by surprise late in 486 and hold Christmas Court here. This will effectively absorb the sword feast from 487.

I have a question (or two) regarding Uther's Court in Sarum.

I am confused and am thinking that I may have gotten things wrong. However, the 18 months between the events in the summer of 486, and the Christmas court of 487 seems to be a long time.

1. Uther's first Court session in 487 is in Pentecost Court. Am I right?

2. The Sword Feast happens in the Christmas Court. Since most of what is discussed relates to events in 486, am I right to think that this is a 'late' Christmas held in Pentecost, or is this going to happen right before the Winter Phase of 487 (ie December 487)?


Did anyone else have any issues with this, or am I overcomplicating the matter?

Thanks

Damon

PS. Edited to improve and expand my iissue. Previously written on a Blackberry.

I had the Sword Feast happen during the Winter Phase of 486.

The Easter Court of 487 is held in Sarum and I'd decided that the King and his entourage would spend the Winter at the place that would be holding his Court in the spring, so for me the Sword Feast happened in Sarum but I can't recall if this was stated in the GPC.

I did something similar. I had it in January 487 and said, "The twelve days of Christmas."

There are some other events that don't mesh perfectly into the winter court thing.

Thanks. That's been quite helpful. I'll announce Uthers urgent need to confer with Roderick and the change of plan for the Winter court.
