For those who don't know it (and if not, why not? There's even an official d20 version out there, for the Prophet's sake!), Fading Suns is a science fantasy setting with liberal influences from Dune, the Dark Ages, the Cthulhu Mythos, and many other cool inspirations...One of the PCs was Sir Thomas Hawkins, a noble of House Hawkwood and a Questing Knight in the service of the Emperor. For some past deeds, he had been awarded his own fief by the Emperor. However, his mother was worried that this fief would be returned to the Emperor, instead of his family, if he died without an heir. So she conspired to set him up with a suitable wife - and she asked his bodyguard (another PC) to make sure he could spend enough time with this girl.And this plot succeeded beyond her wildest expectations - for our gallant knight was so smitten with her that he arranged for her chaperone to be distracted so that she could accompany him to the world's premier Sin City. To any observers, all of this looked a lot like an abduction and seduction of an innocent noblewoman, and he simply had to marry her to maintain everyone's reputation.Not that he objected.Of course, the wedding ceremony was interrupted by some barbarian raiders, but that's another story...</blockquote>
