Editing Richard Davenport (section)

== Chronology ==
Richard was summoned together with about 60 other [[Earthers]] by the Blighted King. After their first deadly encounters with monsters, he kept levelling up and was thrust into the role of a leader of the others, which he fulfilled together with [[Emily]], highest levelled [Mage] of the Earther group.<ref name="gloss" />

Richard was part of the chatroom discussion, arranged by [[BlackMage|[BlackMage]]], under the username of [[America Group|[America Group]]], representing the people he was summoned with.<ref name="Int-2">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/03/07/interlude-2/ Interlude - 2]</ref>

He and Emily became an item. While Emily and Tom couldn't stand each other, Richard kept being at least superficially friendly with Tom.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/01/1-02-d-2/ Chapter 1.02 C]</ref> This shaky friendship continued even when Tom gave mostly in to his insanity and Richard was one of the few people in the American group who didn't completely avoid Tom.

Lord [[Hayvon Operland]] considered Richard as the spokesperson for the Americans, allowing him more liberties in his mansion than the other Earthers and gifting him several powerful magical artifacts.<ref name=":7.34 C" />

Richad was with Lord Hayvon as they viewed the raid on the [[Village of the Dead]], and managed to persuade Hayvon, initially dismissive of the raid, to lend his skills to the adventurers.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/04/28/8-19-h/ Chapter 8.19 H]</ref>
