Service to D'Hara

After escaping from Fissoa and dodging through Madina, Black Bowie landed in D'Hara. By the mercy of Queen Katayanna, they made a contract for his service in exchange for passage to his desired location. As contracted, he served in the Queen's Dragon Guard against Shadovar until the fall of Port Nebel.

• Treaty of Sallowtown agreement between D'Hara and Black Bowie

Upon witnessing an impressive ritual performance, Black Bowie was captivated by the D'Haran religion, The Way of the Dragons. In order to retain some commonality between the D'Haran's and the people of his future realm, he decided to adopt the faith and take it to them.

After his routine of harassing new nobles, Black Bowie was challenged to a duel by the devoted knight, Asriel Octavius. Accepting without hesitation, Bowie assumed he would have a victory on his hands. The tide of righteousness crashed down on him as he was defeated in the duel to surrender.

• Account of the Duel between Black Bowie and Asriel Octavius

During Black Bowie's stay in D'Hara he opened a feud against Sir Cenarious Stormrage which was very venomous and writhing in public, though at times humorous. It is chronicled here:

• Black Bowie versus Marshal Cenarious

Nearing the end of the feud with General Cenarious, Black Bowie made the rash act of inviting the Grand Duke of Fissoa to come and kill him in a duel to the death in Paisly. He said it was his way of apologizing to the D'Harans, and to rightfully allow the Fissoans to have their Great Reckoning. While Black Bowie waited for the reply of the Grand Duke, he decided to indulge in the short life he had left. Perhaps this is at the suggestion of the demon, perhaps it was his idea, in any case, the splendor is recorded here:

• The Debauchery of Port Raviel: First Evening.
• The Debauchery of Port Raviel: Second Evening - Undead Siege.
• The Debauchery of Port Raviel: The Morning After - Near Duel with Abbot Nosferatus.

Delegate to the Northern Cause

The North of Dwilight experiences the War of Seccession (also known as the War of Independance). D'Hara makes an allegiance with the Raivan Empire and Springdale. To solidify this allegiance and aid in the defence of the Raivan Empire, a few D'Haran nobles have been sent on a military expedition to the north. Black Bowie is a participant.

When Black Bowie arrived, the arrangement was not entirely as he was led to believe. The Raivans were non-combatants in the War of Seccession. Additionally, the delegation dissolved. Some continued to Springdale, some returned to D'Hara, a few stayed in the Empire. Black Bowie, figuring a new plan of his own, has chosen to stay in the Raivan Empire. This decision may not be ultimate, but only he knows what he is truly up to.

Black Bowie received a startling letter which caused his immediate departure from the Raivanlands. This letter has caused him to end his Delegation to the North and return to D'Hara.

• Letter of Immediacy

Return to D'Hara

Upon discovering that he has an estranged baby daughter in Port Raviel, Black Bowie returned to D'Hara to settle this matter.

• Black Bowie's Return

Visited in the night by a magnificent Dragon, Black Bowie received the Mandate of Sallowtown. The Dragon Sallow charged him with a mission to elevate the living status of the Sallowsian people by bringing it under the realm of D'Hara.

• Mandate of Sallowtown

After the Dragon Sallow gave Black Bowie the mandate to be the living successor of Prince Sallow, Black Bowie studied the customs and pagan practises of the Sallowsian people, then combined it with his faith in the Way of the Dragons and produced the regional variation Way of the Arexi Dragon.

Dragon Rebellion in D'Hara

Black Bowie was a rebel against the Dragon Queen Katayanna, and he announced a unique grievance against the Queen. The letter he wrote for the realm which allied him to the future King is edited and paraphrased here: Letter of Grievance
