Ser Henrry the Hearth Knight

"Please, kind sir, I ask you to keep your voice down while we duel." The Hearth Knight said, unlimbering his double headed axe from it's sling. "I'll try to get a clean swing on your neck, but you know how that can go-"

"Such confidence, knight." The scarecrow said, it's voice was both a sibilant hiss and sonorous hum. A pair of sickle blades sliding free of his sleeves. "What, pray tell, would I need to keep my voice down for should I be the one that is screaming?"

"Because if you wake even on of the little tykes, I won't be so kind as to aim for something that doesn't hurt."

Married to Ser Richeldis, who shares the title of Hearth Knight with her, Ser Henrry is a less prolific figure within the tales of Camlann, though the times he and his wife make their appearance they cut a rather striking impression.

Both knights of martial prowess and little else, sir Henrry fought with a double headed axe called Heart Ember and was said to be a mountain of a man, earning him his second title.

Some stories refer to him as the Mountain Knight, when they need to distinguish between the two Hearth Knights
