(work in progress will edit soon)

Reginauld Black.  Was born in 1340 Dr.  

The black family was not, of noble decent, and had not achieved anything note worthy, beyond few good harvests of carrots.  Until the year 1359 DR Reginauld's 19th day of birth.

Reginauld had been a rambunctious youth, fond of brawling, drinking, and the seduction of local barmaids.  He often spent, much of his time on "adventures" out in the wilderness.

On one of these such adventures, the lad ran into a small black dragon lurking near it's layer in the kings forest.  It had been expanding it's domain for sometime in the region.

It had chased Reginauld through the forest, and straight into the kings hunting party, who had been personally seeking out the beast, for terrorizing local farmers.

Reginauld had been fond of the farm girl Madelina, who he had been courting for some time, and would often steal her horse, forcing her to retrieve it, so she would not get beat' by her cruel father.

The Horse collided with one of the kings purple dragon knights, that was escorting the hunting party. Killing the purple dragon knight, the two horses, and flinging Reginauld from his horse.

The young black dragon, started to terrorize the disoriented knights, and the king. It had set it's eyes on a cleric of Helm that had been, accompanying the kings party, to aid in the fight against the dragon.  

The Cleric of helm, was a young beauty of a women, slender in build, meek in stature.  Seeing the danger that presented the cleric,  Reginauld jumped on the dragons tail.
Holding on for dear life, he soon found himself unconscious.

He soon found himself in the king's castle.  Bandaged, from head to toe, and in a rather large amount of pain.  The Cleric of Helm, sat as his bedside, and with a mixture of divine magic, and the occasional hot meal.  Reginauld was nursed back to health.

While in bed, his bones broken, the cleric of helm known as Jasiea Woodband, had instructed him the divine grace of Lord Helm.  So moved by the details of this, that Reginauld devoted his life in service to the temple.  

His training had been hard, and had become a squire in the Vigilant Eyes of the Deity.  By the kings request, who had taken a liking to the boy.

As a squire serving the knight sir Elengar Undril, Reginauld had been accompanying his knight. On the hunt for a Witch, reported to be raising the dead.  

The witch held her self up in abandoned copper mine.  Reginauld was soon separated from his lord. And was forced to wander the mine alone.  In the dark.

He eventually came across the witch, who had been otherwise occupied sending her forces after lord Undril.  She was an old hag nearing eighty years of age.

Reginauld seeing her caught her prone, and decapitated her.  

When the Witch died, the Undead had fell, the spell broken.  Sir Elengar Undril found the dead witch, and his squire.

On return visit to the castle, in Reginauld was knighted by the king for slaying the witch,vand became a purple dragon knight.

The king remembered the tale of the young black dragon, and the new noble family Black was born.  A Black Dragon was chosen by the king, for the Black's coat of arms.

Reginauld was soon after transported by the mists as he returned home to seek Madeline's hand in marriage on his 26th birthday.  A curse uttered from the served head of witch, as it floated in the scrying pool, blood and spell combined.

Sir Black came across a Vistani camp,  and traded tales of adventure with the exotic people, in the morning found himself in the core with a hang over.  Wandering into the morning lords church.
