Bridget is not in the position to offer anything. She's an escort. But Thord is demanding.

And an ambassador is there to offer help and he's ignoring her. Notice he says "elves" and she says "elfs" Elfs are like that. Lorilnia is none other than Leeanna Walsman as Zam Wesel from Star Wars: episode two.



Caliburn is Orlando Bloom as Legolas.


Actually it was an Ignite Viking archer figure that had that head sculpt with rooted hair. Ignite had a tendency to sneak in celebrity likenesses for figures seemingly at random. They did Russell Crowe, DeNiro, Pacino, Paul Newman, Orlando Bloom and Donald Sutherland as Romans, a Viking and a Dutch musketeer. Only Russell Crowe had any connection to the era and outfit the figure wore.

Caliburn is the "real" name of King Arthur's sword. In Geoffrey of Monmouth with supposedly has some basis in British myth, the sword mentioned is Caliburn. Excalibur is from the later French cycle of Arthur tales which also introduced Lancelot. A friend from Arthurian romance class created an elf character with that name for one of my campaigns. And there he is.

The lady-in-waiting is also elfish and she is Aurora Lafflin another friend's old D&D character here with a position at court which is preferable to "adventuring". Try getting RPG players to do an "intrigue at court" campaign – they want to kill everyone. Aurora is the sister of one of the Nasnor archers. It's all in the family.
