Home of the Bretonnian Team
Today, blood bowl is a very well respected sport in Bretonnia. It is considered a great test of martial skills, and is considered equal to jousting, in preparing knights for the rigours of war. Every baron wants his own team, and it is considered a great honour indeed to compete in the royal court leagues - even fair damsels who set the errants for budding young knights, have started to request "the scoring of many touchdowns".
But this is not how it has always been.
In the early years of the game, the brettonians knew little of the
game, and indeed it was disdained as a passtime for the commoners and ruffians of lesser
nations. This was only changed by a mistake on the part of Jean Pierre Sansfortune - a
brave, though unlucky, questing knight. Roaming the grey mountains, he heard of a huge
grail adorned with skulls, held in the imperial city of Altdorf.
This was surely the grail he thought.
Jean Pierre travelled to Altdorf, and learned of the terrible ordeal
he had to endure in order to lay hands on the grail, a trial worthy of the bravest knight
- and so he joined the Reikland Reavers. For many years he struggled, untill finally one
day, he lead (sort of) his team to victory at Blood Bowl XI. Imagine Jean Pierres
disappointment when he finally held the grail, for there was no liquid in it from which to
sip, and no lady of the lake to present it to him. Shattered, and disgraced, he quit the
team, to return to his native Brionne.
However, on the first night of his journey home, he had a true vision, a visitation from
the lady of the lake herself. She granted him her favour, for succeeding in his arduous
quest, having braved all perils, and done what no other knight had done before him
Back in Brettonia he was greeted a hero, and from that day, the bloodweiser trophy was
considered a worthy alternative to the grail, and blood bowl the sport of the virtuous....
