Sir Auferic

Sir Auferic is a Knight of Bretonnia who serves as the final guardian of the Cordon Sanitaire.

History
The watchtower of the Cordon Sanitaire commanded by the knight Auferic is the last bastion of Bretonnia before entering Mousillon. It is on the border between Lyonesse and Mousillon, about a two days' ride south of Castle Lyonesse. Auferic's Watchtower is a relatively new building made of wood, having a platform for archers at the top and archery slits in the walls. it houses a small garrison of peasant archers and a few Men-at-Arms, Auferic himself being the only knight.

Auferic is willing to put up adventurers for the night, providing they have written permission from Duke Adalhard. He is a good source of information about Mousillon. Though Auferic has not ventured into the dukedom himself, he has been on the Cordon Sanitaire for three years and knows many stories about the place. He can tell passing adventurers to never drink unboiled water, for instance, and to take other precautions to prevent falling victim to the diseases prevalent in Mousillon. He is aware that the Cordon Sanitaire is intended to keep commoner from leaving Mousillon and spreading the dreaded Red Pox into neighbouring lands.

Sir Auferic has heard the rumour that Royarch Louen intends to raise an army of Knights Errant and reclaim Mousillon, but he is not yet aware of mallobaude and the growing threat he presents. Auferic still believes in the Knightly Order and the Lady of the Lake, but he is weary and cynical, having spent a long time performing a thankless task on the Cordon.
