Editing Arturia Eld (Hektor Heresy) (section)

== The White Knight==
Only a few times was her cool shattered. Most infamous of those was during the Igwen Compliance, and the cause of that was one of her foremost Knights, [[Lord of Bones|Abdul Al-Sherar]]. Abdul Al-Sherar was the only Knight of Accolon who did not hail from the bleak heaths of Cattegirn, instead an escaped scion of the Thrall-Knights of Bahri, subordinate to Forge World Al-Sherar. As a freeblade he fought alongside the Household during a compliance campaign alongside the seventy-seventh Expeditonary Fleet, and his skills were so impressive that after learning his fate Arturia offered him a place within the ranks of her Household, a very rare honour. Al-Sherar countered by asking why she did not have a high-born consort, that being the norm for all Knight Nobles. Her seemingly perpetual state of bountiful youth and her incredible battle skills had brought her many suitors in the past, but she had turned them all down. When she didn’t answer he boldly offered himself as an option. This was the cause of much mirth within the ranks of the household, especially the Thegns who knew her best. However she indulged the brash young Knight and promised that if he would give her seven years service, then she would consider his suit. There were plenty of Knights within the Household who were against it. Marriages in Knightly Households were all about political gain, a reflection of the darker aspects of the Thrones Mechanicum. A marriage to Abdul Al-Sherar would give nothing to the Household and do nothing to further its standing within the Imperium, a capital sin for a high ranking Knight. She herself knew this, and from the recorded sagas of Thegn Bedieve she spoke several times with him on the subject of Al-Sherar, though what she said, and what she thought of him was not recorded by Bedieve.

Al Sherar swiftly rose through the ranks of Accolon, going from a Dux, to a Gedriht, to the Aucteller of that Household detachment.
