Royal Conversation
“I have been insulted deeply, and for no good reason. The
Duke Gorlois , Duke of Cornwall has
broken his word and violated our hospitality. His sudden flight from our court proves he is guilty; no other information need be sought. Worse, though, his people slew some servants in their escape, and they
stole treasure when they fled.
Gorlois is guilty.
“Disloyalty and dishonor are not welcome in this kingdom. It is the obligation of every noble to serve with distinction and to uphold noblesse oblige. Anyone who disobeys these laws is a traitor.
“
Gorlois is a traitor.

Intrigue
Events
Uther Pendragon King Uther marches his army on
Cornwall. He is hasty, not even waiting for all his men to arrive. He leaves orders for the other contingents to follow as soon as possible.
The duke won’t fight on the field. He has divided his army to defend two strategic castles,
Tintagel, on the coast, and Terrabil, at a strategic road junction ten miles inland. His treasure and wife are at Tintagel, while his main army is at Terrabil ready to sally forth and strike the king in the rear if he turns toward the treasure storage.
King Uther sends three-quarters of his force to besiege Terrabil and the rest to Tintagel.
