It was a short enough trip from Scarbran to Dorton that Thomas had decided to ride with minimal company.  A small detail and a few fresh horses would do for this thrifty and generally dour man.  As he pondered the meaning behind Malcolm's invitation, his gaze drifted ahead to the impressively large coastal estate before him.
 
"Oh, gods."  Thomas inwardly cursed the fates as he approached the House of Bedwyr's ancestral home.  As his eyes diligently scanned the livery of the assembled mass of horse and carriage, one in particular caught his eye.  It was an unremarkable carriage except for the sheer quantity of pre-tapped barrels lashed haphazardly to the top and back.  The carriage itself bore no crest or other identifiers, marking it as borrowed.  The barrels, however, had each been branded with the crest of House Solari: a blossoming branch superimposed on a sun.  "You've got to be kidding."
 
Shaking the dread that now gripped him–relatives were an inconvenience at best–he noted the other distinguished familes present: Haerthorne, Capet... "this is practically a rogues' gallery!"  As he was helped from his steed by a crisply-attired attendant, his restless eyes stopped on a team of horses, fitted lightly but absolutely resplendent in House Solari livery... and a banner he had never seen before.  This was a team of horses meant for overt displays he told himself, and the polish they displayed likely meant that they had been brought over by sea and not ridden.  Thomas searched his mind for relatives known and unknown, coming up empty.
 
"How many bloody relatives do I have?"
