Outskirts of Castle Cerwyn

The camp itself disassembled as we were reading to march towards the nearby castle that the scouts have reported. Altogether there were about 1000 people in the march made up of servants, men-at-arms, foot squire, Erannts knights and knights of the realm. In reality, only half made up the fighting force, with the rest being support staff. I wore my entire armour set with my plate amour decorated with my house heredity of a white unicorn on a blue background. I also wore one of my family heirlooms of which is a great helm with a white unicorn crest on the top, and it is made of the scarce material of Gromril, which is known to be the strongest substance in the world.

The men assembled in a collum for the march to the castle. The formation of the collum is the support staff were at the back of the collum, the infantry mostly made up of men-at-arms and foot squires at the front and the Cavalry in the middle, so their ability to react to any situation happens collum on the march.
We then started the march towards the nearby castle. With me were my friends next to my side as we ride along with the collum. I look around the local countryside, and it amazed me with its vast wildness that's not be touched by man.

The wildness is just large rolling hills that the eye can see, but the weather, on the other hand, is freezing. I am not used to cold weather with me being from southern Brettonia, which has a much warmer climate.
Miles was right behind me and said," By the lady, this place is bloody cold. How on earth people live in these type of places".
As he finishes saying that, a knight of the realm called Louie Breton says quickly." Boy, you have not been up north in Kislev, have you. That place is truly is cold where your skin sticks to your armour and snow as deep as you. Be thankful that we're not near anything near Kislev."
With that, miles went quiet for a bit as we rode through the collum's countryside.

After an hour or so, riding with collum, with finally saw a small castle in the distance. The castle looks like it was built on the west side of the river.
The castle itself look's like it was a mile or so away from our position.
The castle itself is pretty small, with a stone keep and A stone wall surrounding the entire castle. The castle's keep castles keep quite bland, with design just being a blocky design with nothing of note to take an interest in it.

We started to move closer towards the castle. I looked around for a nearby Bugler in which I told the man." sound the collum to halt".
The man did what he was told and sound the Bugle stopping the collum from moving.
I then look around the group around me and then said, "We need to meet these natives with non-hostile intentions, so few knights and I will split off from the main party and will ride towards the castle to parley with them about where we are".
One of my friends, Pierre, speaks up, " What if these natives are hostile and try to take your prisoner or have hostile intent."
I reply, " If they do try to be hostile to us, you guy have my permission to start to besiege preparation for the castle".

All of them nodded their heads in agreement. I then said, " If I am killed or taken prisoner, lord André Monmet is in charge of the army. In which Andre responds, " Hopefully that doesn't happen, my duke". Andre is one of my senior advisors to my dukedom as he helps my father defend the dukedom from many threats over his lifetime and is one of the most senior of the knights here.

I pick Miles and George with few other a knights to accompany towards the castle. Our party numbered about 15 men as we started to ride towards the castle.
As we rode towards the castle, the collum formation disassembles with the support followers setting camp up and troops standing in combat formation in case combat happens.
We started to gallop down the dirt road seems. This path looks like it's been travelled on recently as I see large tracks that look like a carriage and many more footsteps from people and horses.

The peasants from the local area started to look at us. The local peasants didn't seem to be too surprised by our presence as they continued their work. After a couple of minutes, we finally reach the castle front gates. The castle gates were closed with the gate being raised down, and the guards were on edge with a large number of soldiers on the walls. I guess they saw our party approach from the south. They probably on alert because of us.

After a couple of tense seconds, one of the guards spoke up," who are you, strangers? You definitely not with kings party. Nor are you any Northmen. Are you souther from the Reach?." I wonder what he means by the king's party is the local ruler nearby and what does he mean by souther or the Reach.
I reply back loudly, " I am not from the place called you call the Reach. I'm from Bretonnia, and I am the Duke of Queneless. My name is Jerrod D'Asareux. It is best for you to bring your lord here so I can speak to him".
The guard responds back, " Sorry sir, I don't wear or what is Bretonnia or the Dukedom of Queneless. You're in Westeros in the seven kingdoms, and you're in the north. But I will find lord Cerwyn to speak to you".The guard went off while the rest of them were on watching us. It's quite strange he doesn't recognise the word bretonnia. Most people recognise the word bretonnia though out the old world.

One of the knights speaks up, "How they haven't heard about the knights of Bretonnia. How far have we been taken away from the kingdom of Bretonnia". Another knight in the party called Charles Harmon spoke up as well " Well, it looks like we're quite far away from the old world, and I never heard of a place called Westeros or the seven kingdoms.

After waiting for a couple of minutes, the guard came back with a much older man wearing what I believe to noble clothing in these lands but looks just boiled leather and a large number of furs must a poor part of the world were at.
The older man introduced himself to us, " I am Lord Medger Cerwyn I lord of these lands, and my guard told me you are a duke in a place called Bretonnia, a place I don't recognise, and you have also brought a massive group of armed men with you. I ask what your intentions in these lands are ".
I answered back, "We were hunting Orcs in the wildness of Quenelles Until we were teleported in the middle of the night into your lands. I wish to find out where I am at and a way back to Queneless. I have no quarrel with you or any of your countrymen."
Medger responded back, " It seems your intentions are true. If you were hostile, then you would have started to raid the smallfolk and lay siege to my castle. I will allow your army to rest in my hands and offer you and your inner circle to be guests in my castle. I wish to hear more about your story before I send a message to my liege lord Eddard stark about your circumstance."

I looked around to see what my companions thought about the matter. All of them agreed that the proposal that lord Cerwyn gave us was fair. I looked at the knight to my right and said," Go inform the main party of what has happened here and tell them to step up camp here." The knight nodded his head and rode off towards them.
I looked above to Lord Cerwyn and said my answer, "I have sent one of my knights back to the main camp to tell the rest of the party and me and my inner circle will take rest in your castle. I would like to know more about the seven kingdoms and their history while I rest here for a day or so."
" I see no problem in that, Lord Jerrod," He said back. He then said to the guards to open the gates. I hope the people of these lands are at least amicable as the people of the empire as my group heads inside the castle.

Guest - I'm going off the high medieval population between the 13-14 century for France, where the population was between 18-20 Million people. I only said this would be slightly more grounded than the original story, which had a way more crazy population to soldier ratio. That wasn't a standing army. It was an army that they can raise if they call upon all their levies and knights from across the land. They're also in the middle of the seven kingdoms, so they're completely surrounded. Also, this is Warhammer fantasy. You shouldn't read this because it won't be too realistic.

Guest- I will try to give more insight into the thoughts and feelings of the characters in the chapter, and the first chapter got the update.

Guest - Some races will be introduced, but I will keep a secret for the time being
