Sir Curran

Sir Curran was a legendary knight from long ago.

He is an NPC played by Brennan Lee Mulligan with additional creative input from Lou Wilson.

Appearance
Sir Curran's armor is golden plate, gleaming like light dancing on water. His helm has a liftable visor and a bright red and orange plume coming out of the top. The shield Sir Curran carries bears his crest: a deeply rooted, green tree with three blue flowers and roots that grow down to the shield's edges.

Sir Curran has a warm smile and a deep voice. He is brawny and broad-framed but can hop nimbly in full plate armor. He has red hair which Eursulon imitates in his human glamour.

Personality
Sir Curran was deeply respectful, honorable, and kind. He has the utmost respect and camaraderie from all the knights under his leadership. He would never take any of his knights' snacks. Eursulon perceived Sir Curran's honor and quest as a sort of intoxicating, invisible aura. Curran's honor and quest inspired Eursulon to become a knight himself.

According to Sir Curran, "At their best, a knight is a warrior. Which is to say, one who prizes danger for themselves over the thought of danger for another. A knight is one who puts themself in the path of chaos and dismay, of trouble and trial and tribulation, who seeks the doing of great deeds that the sun might shine more brightly on those in need."

The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One
Approximately 250 years before the Children's Adventure, young Eursulon stumbles through a door into the mortal realm. He encounters a company of knights riding along a road. The leader of the knights, Sir Curran, notices Eursulon lurking in the brush near the edge of the road and dismounts to approach him. Sir Curran introduces himself and shows Eursulon his armor. After explaining knighthood and answering Eursulon's question, he offers Eursulon his golden pauldron. Eursulon gives Sir Curran his mushroom in exchange, and returns through the door to the Wild Forest.

During the Children's Adventure, the children discover that time flows differently in the spirit world and learn Sir Curran has long since passed away, killed in battle.
