Summer Evening - Rengo
Craglan Mejor
The smear.... The stain. That which was inherited. The Wrath...
Craglan the Cold Drraad'da Mejor, Vizier of Vordul Sanguinis and Wizard of the Frozen Blood; Awakened Beneath the Mountain; The Ghost of Winter and Rider of Frost, had been handed a mess. He missed Xlair: his resolute morbidity, his brilliance...
Craglan had been sent to torture three Times during the reign of Xlair, and still Craglan preferred it to this...
The judge had gone all but silent. The general seemed aloof, the sponsor was occupied with her duchy; only the High Ambassador seemed to still have a voice, a will...
The new priest was welcomed in Gabriel as he knew the Emperor better than all. Perhaps this would be the Change.
The One Armed Dwarf had been in a drunken slander for days over the Adventurer come Priest; Gabriel, and Craglan began to wish her Death.
Craglans head swam. Only in his wildest nightmare was he a ruler... How had this happened? Fate. A terrible fate.
Since his induction as Vizier, Craglan was seemingly handed more than Xlair carried, even in the dreaded Armor of Arshava. Xlair had a host of dedicated assistance in all he did, dedication Craglan very simply could not manifest.
Dissent, denial, deterrents, deception; all these milled about, and Craglan knew it all, knew and could do nothing as the Powers of his office were meaningless in a realm that failed to communicate and work as one.
Everyone had always seemed to hate Craglan, and then he became Vizier by their voice, the last voice they would ever use to promote him to his demise. He felt the Warlord was bitter, having more Wisdom than the Ghost of Winter in the ways of politics and War and thereby making him more fit as a ruler. Craglan could do nothing but stew.
It was up to the Silent Disciples, the Cloth of Vordulism, the Adventurers who equiped them all; Craglan could apparently do nothing right and he began to consider the Crystal Skull... it would be so easy to vanish into it and give Javien back his body, however altered and torn it had become since Craglan Awakened Beneath the Mountain.
"The Pig-faced Judge" said Craglan to Frost at a random moment on the road. "It must begin with the most devout."
"Sire," said Frost, "let us run away. Let's explore he far north."
"We have far weirder things to explore than the north old Friend, we delve now into the human mind and the basements in which it dwells..."

Brand
- Fronepu, common district, near a fountain.
Brand had been waiting for some time, and finally the handmaiden showed up.
- Brand
- .... Hey beautiful, I am happy to see yo again.
- Alas, I dont have much time, and I like to offer you 3 things ...
- Here is a scroll of Holy Light...., please forward it to your beloved Queen; Krabat asked me to hand it over.
- From me sweet thing, you will get a scroll of Youth... NOOO please do not misunderstand me...... you look very young. I suggest you give it to the Queen. She is already at a certain age and the magic man who sold me this scroll, told me she could gain some years .... If you just give it to her in your name, not knowing what it is ... she will be very happy and reward you big-time.
- Last but not least, just outside Fronepu, there is a great view.. a cave... forest,... river..... May I suggest we go there and have some relaxing time ?
Brand handed over the 2 scrolls.
- Brand
- ..... Small kiss perhaps ?
Aibhlidhn Dubhaine
- Handmaiden
- Why Master Brand, you are most forward. However I do not think Her Majesty would approve of my leaving the city walls without her sanction.
She surreptitiously drew his attention to three nondescript men loitering by one of the city's many public drinking fountains, appearing instead to draw him into discussion of the parchments. Not that a servant - even one so close to the Queen - could be expected to make much sense of the arcane contents.
- Handmaiden
- Yes, these appear to be the documents Her Majesty is interested in. You may give Sir Krabat Her Majesty's sincere thanks for his generosity.
She rolls the scrolls carefully, slipping them into a battered satchel, and somehow in the process slips Brand a scrap of folded paper with an address and time written in a clean cursive hand, an invitation to an assignation?

Delia Ketchum
A letter signed by Lady Delia, Mistress of Finance of Irondale is delivered to Daishi temple and to all members of the faith. There are traces of blood on the letter edge.
In the letter, it is written.
"To the honorable priests of Daishi, Priestess Yao Ling. Lo, there do we see our fathers. Lo, there do we see our mothers. Lo, there do we see our sisters and our brothers. The line of our people back to the beginning. They do call to us to take our places Where the brave live forever."

Report from Yxevarii Auru'in
To all Rulers and Judges of Belluaterra,
For the record, in irrevocable finality,
- For the crimes of mass-murder, wanton pillage, corruption, theft, kidnapping, smuggling, subversion, betrayal of the Inquisition charter, and treason, I hereby banish Inquisitor Astros Renodin from the sacred realm of Obia'Syela. The time has come to pay for your many sins, Astros. May the Goddess have mercy on your soul.
If he is ever found roaming the continent, I beg you extradite him to OS that I may personally execute him.
Former Inquisitor Astros Renodin of Obia'Syela does not, has not, and will never represent our faith and realm. He was a heretic masquerading as a Herald, who snaked his way into the Inquisition in order to commit heinous atrocities. He sought to use fear and violence alongside claims of self-righteousness in order to mask his wickedness. He quoted out-of-context scripture during his crimes, and pretended to be higher-ranked that the measly probationary initiate he actually was, just to guilt peasants and minor nobles alike into following his orders; or looking away as he robbed, raped, and murdered across the land. He murdered higher-ranking Inquisitors and used their garb to sell his story, then weaved a path of destruction that traumatized countless thousands.
He is a traitor to the Heralds, a traitor to Obia'Syela, and a traitor to all Mankind.
Years ago, I became ruler of Obia'Syela amidst a near-civil war sparked by that psychopath Astros. He single-handedly fractured a rift between Templars and Inquisitors that ended in open conflict upon our streets; and a schism of mistrust that Time has only somewhat tempered. The damaged he has caused, the lives he destroyed, are wounds that can never fully heal - not until the stains of his inhumanity are cleansed.
Anyone with information leading to the capture and execution of Astros Renodin will be rewarded handsomely. Hell, I'll even give you front-row seats to the main event as a guest of honor.
Hear my words and let truth be known,
For the Inquisition,
- Yxevarii Auru'in
- Grand Inquisitor of Obia'Syela
- Royal of Obia'Syela
- Margravine of Ossmat
- Priestess of Heralds of Obeah

Ruler Abdicates
Anyte Luitolf has stepped down from her position as ruler of Thalmarkin. She has given the following reason:
- The injuries leftover from that assault upon my life are taking longer to heal than expected, and the healers do not know if I will ever make a full recovery. I have finally accomplished what I set out to do, and that was ending the war with Irondale and Nothoi, and as such perhaps stepping down might help with said recovery. I wish whoever rules next the best of luck. The Kin are tough ones to rule over.

- Scientist Researcher's Journal #12
- I have just finished my first research project! It was definitely a rousing success. Though unfortunately the outcome was not what I expected. I managed to create a new kind of sealing spell, however, it is only a temporary measure and could not hold up against a demon by any means. Further study is needed. The seal can disable a demons power and force them into a human form. Only temporary.
- Sub entry:
- Research on anti-magic is at a stand still. So far no material currently exists to absorb the amount of mana to prevent individuals from casting magic. Unfortunately a recent study showed when such a weapon expels it creates a devastating explosion when the weapon is destroyed. Attempting to create such a weapon should be illegal by any means.
