![]() ![]() Now all teams are trained in honour of the first great Bretonnian team - Paravon Penetrators. Ever since that day before every Bretonnian game the players and fans alike join in harmony to chant - 'For the honour of the realm, for glory and for the Lady' Both sets of knights looked at each other and grinned and said in unison 'And for the Lady'. The Realm Knights put their fists in to the air and declared - 'For the honour of the realm', the Questing Knights followed with - 'For Glory'. The two teams assembled on the pitch and before the whistle blew for kick off a moment that will live on in the minds of Bretonnian people ensued. They found their first game in Altdorf against a human team of the Empire. The first team went off in to the World, the now famous 'Paravon Penetrators'. To fight the enemies of virtue and order. To defend your team mates and never leave a man behind To carry out the quest of the Lady of the Lake The Knights of the Realm and Questing Knights all swore an oath of chivalry and honour before the King and then set off on their quest. The Realm Knights instructed the peasants of their lands to join them in the quest for eternal glory, and brought with them their personal squires. Only the greatest Knights from each realm would join the Questing Knights in the hunt for the grail. The King wasted no time and decreed the end of the Realm Tournaments and the sixteen realms became united under one banner. The lords of the realms came to court and heard of the vision and the Ladies instruction. He immediately ordered that the greatest Knights of the sixteen realms be brought to him so that Jules De Bergerac's tale could be told. The king looked in to the ball and saw a brief vision of the Lady. He knelt before the King Michel 'Le Roi' Sanctimoni and presented the golden ball before him. Jules De Bergerac returned to Bretonnia and seeked an audience with the king so that he could recount his tale. She gave Jules an enchanted golden Blood Bowl ball as proof of their meeting and then vanished. Only upon retrieving this cup would she ever reveal herself to her subjects again. She showed the Knight a vision of the cup and demanded that Bretonnia retrieve this cup for her, with courage, honour and a steadfast approach. She gave De Bergerac instructions to take back to Bretonnia: He was to instruct all the realms to send forth their teams out in to The World to retrieve the Holy Grail - The Blood Bowl trophy. ![]() A Questing Knight named Jules De Bergerac was searching for the Holy Grail and a vision of Lady of the Lake appeared before him in all her spender. Unbeknownst to them was how Blood Bowls popularity grew throughout the world. They lived by a strict chivalric code and trained hard for the yearly tournaments. The Knights of the Realms had no concern for anything out side of their own lands, though they did not grow idle. At first these teams would compete in regional competitions, each of the sixteen Bretonnian Realms would put forth a team and compete for the honour of their Realm. The peasants role was essentially as fodder, the Knights would not entertain giving them the ball and the peasants would never share in the spoils of victory. Originally, Bretonnian teams were typically made up of the greatest five Knights of the Realm and lowly peasants were forced to make up the numbers. Though only very recently have they started venturing out side of their kingdom playing the sport while travelling the world as most nomadic teams do. ![]() Parravon Penetrators, first mentioned in White Dwarf 101īlood Bowl has been played in Bretonnia ever since the sports inception. ![]()
