Ornrandir has retired from adventuring. He is now the Earl of Devon, and works for the good of the county.

The last "adventures" have included a civil war to secure the king's throne, and a trip across the continent to meet the pope, with incidents along the way. The next one will include his wedding, and a tournament, with visitors from every rival fief and every kingdom. I'm told it will be include battles.

There's a religious schism coming, a nearby kingdom is breaking down into lawlessness, and there's still an interplanetary slaver ring to stop.

Yes, he's "retired from adventuring". But medieval life is still active and dangerous.
