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..."

Summer Evening - Fronepu

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?

Summer Day - Fronepu

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

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.

Krystyna Carson

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.

Krystyna Carson

Scientist Researcher's Journal Entry #13
Some forms of Alchemy has proven to be effective against demons. However, it has proven to be difficult due to the anti-magic source that emanates from them. It turns out that another way to make an anti-magic weapon is by imbuing demon blood to a sword during its development. Though with no sign of demon existence it is again impossible.
Sub Entry:
The Carson family invests a lot of money into this research, it is a real shame most development has come up with no progress. The next step is to procure assistance from another family in Agyr. Hopefully getting a subordinate will speed up the research and gain results.

Krystyna Carson

Journal Entry #15
I have made an important discovery with the monster and demonic DNA. It turns out that they are nearly identical. However, the dissimilarities prevents the monsters from ever reaching demonic potential. Though I believe I may have discovered a possibility that rewriting the DNA of the monsters could give them demonic potential. If it is at all possible I strongly recommend countermeasures be taken. A demonic presence could prove disastrous. I believe anyone who attempts this should be immediately put to death by our superiors.

I also found something incredibly disturbing. Though to confirm it I must report to the City of Agyr."

Krystyna goes back and reads past Journal entries written by her brother Zenta Carson before his mysterious disappearance.

Zenta's Journal Entry #1
Secret entry 1, I have recently discovered a possible Demonic presence in East Continent of Shadowdale. However, I was not able to confirm. I had my servant, Calvin, go and search everywhere for any signs. So far no report was given. I had almost given up the search. My servant then finally reported a sighting in my region of Negev. I sent a team in to find it, but came up empty again. We will remain vigilant and find this creature."

Krystyna: "My brother is an absolute genius. I just hope I don't make the same mistakes he made."

Krystyna closes her Journal and then goes towards her window.

Krystyna: "I just hope I can get more support for my scientific research than he did. Everyone thought he was a quack. It is a shame not everyone believes in scientific progress."

Against the evil amassed that day

They pressed forward till the dead gave
Till standing lone at close of day
The field silent, all was gay

Journal Entry #18
I was suspicious about something while examining the undead collected. There seems to be some kind of strange energy coming from them. I was able to develop a way of tracking the energy, it imminates somewhere possibly near the mountains of Jedinchel. I would like to possibly set off to an expedition to that realm. I think it is called Thalmarkin? I will definitely be requesting the Queen's approval for this. Hopefully she will not say no. I will be returning after all.

I could be wrong, but even after the undead are dead completely they still seem to radiate some kind of strange energy. I find it strange, further study is needed.

Letter from Sylvia to Aibhlidhn Dubhaine

I remember not so many years ago when those lands were held steadfast by the members of Obia'Syela. Upon my recent return to adventuring, I wandered those very same lands and could not believe how things had changed. How anyone manages to survive there is beyond my comprehension. It is largely why I fled the area and returned north, although that would normally be something I would be ashamed to admit. After seeing what await there, however, I quickly realized shame is irrelevant if you are not alive to feel it.

Being hewn to pieces...completely rent asunder by the many claws and gnashing, snarling teeth of beasts and the undead. No peasant or noble or child should have to suffer that.

However, if you should need an adventurer to return to those lands, as a forward scout or anything else, please let me know. I have no purposes of my own to fulfill there, but in service of Ar Agyr I can find reason.

With respect,

Sylvia
Commoner of Ar Agyr
