Sir Archibald's Backstory

Sir Archibald Torivald Thornhandle III, anointed knight and ex- Head of the Holy Guardian Knights to the belated King of Aleria, His Royal Majesty, Reginald Corhammer Thornhandle VII (his cousin), came to Port St Herve's at its founding, as part of his "retirement gift" from the new ruler, Queen Regent Doreen Gladys Thornhandle, originally of the McGhastly clan, it should be noted! Choosing to make the most of it, he became a beekeeper for the city, and has lived as one ever since. A year ago, Sir Archibald began preaching a New Deity, different from the One that is so commonly accepted in St Herve's. This deity is the Lord of Fire and Smoke, and Sir Archibald is convinced that it his sworn duty to convince every living creature he meets that all other gods are false, and to serve the Lord of Fire and Smoke. Sir Archibald was recently kidnapped by kobolds (whom he was trying to convert), and was rescued by some brave adventurers... and Sorin Silverfist.
