Journey back in time
to the days when tables were round, when chilvalry ruled and suits
rusted if you tried to air dry them... As a Ninth Century nation's
beloved and grumpy king is separated from his head! Is it the work of
his heair apparent and offspring? or a rejected lover? or a jealous
knight? or an upstart squire? or the magic of the mysterious
wizard?
King Alfred The
Squatty (Mr. E
Guest)
Reigning king of the Isles of
Langerhans and an avid gargoyle watcher, Alfred as of late is rumored
to be plagued by dark dreams of disaster and doom, stemming from some
mysterious event in the past.
Sir Loine Of Beoffe (Gino
Angelo)
Knight of the Realm and Keeper
of The Royal Seal. Sir Loine is not too happy with his present job,
as the seal is old and grumpy and causes his quarters to smell fishy
and squid-like, due to the large quantities of these products needed
to feed the animal.
Reginald The Obtuse (P.D.
Gregg)
Half brother to the King and
the Palace Seer and Magician. He spends long hours planning and
plotting in his quarters, three floors below the dungeons.
Princess Nikki Ophelia
(Vera
Barton-Caro)
Step-daughter of the King and
full-time shopper, Nikki spends most of her time entertaining
visiting royal princes at royal balls and parties, or else spending
hours with her fellow princesses at the local Langerhans Village
Mall, trying on lingerie from Vivaca's Secret and tasting the local
cuisine from the Food Court.
Young Master Bates, Sir Loine's
Page (Butch
Maxwell)
This lad appeared on the
doorsteps of the Palace seventeen years ago fulfilling the ancient
prophecy, "And there shall come a young boy dressed in peasant
clothes with a sachel around his waist, his stockings pulled loosely
down to his knees. And he shall go forth and bring piss on the
Kingdom...", which is exactly what they caught him doing at the front
door of the Castle.
Brunhilde Of Gothland (Dee
McCorkle)
Visiting dignitary from the
barbarian Northe Kingdoms, she is here in Langerhans on a mission of
peace.
Gnashfang The Piqued
Resident Dragon and Nemesis of
The Realm, this noisome beast had been terrorizing the kingdom for
years until Sir Loine slayed it several years back.
It is feudal to resist
this one!
