Péché Faracan (though she does not know she is of the family) had arrived in Beluaterra from Atamara. She searches for her father. The only information her mother was able to tell Péché of her father was that he was a Duke of York during the fall of Hasland. She doesn't even know his name. Péché has no idea how she is going to find her father, but she asks people she meets if any of them know of a Duke of York from that time. In her time in Beluaterra, she found that she had no way to support herself during her travels, so finally took up a sword and started fighting some monsters and undead to get some coin.

She much prefers searching regions for items, though. She met a great friend there, Korkut. They help each other by sharing duplicate items as well as attacking the monsters and undead together. It was Korkut that saw a sage in Wilwau that needed items that Péché had. Luckily, she was nearby and travelled to Wilwau. After a couple of days of searching, she finally found the sage that Korkut had met.

He looked nothing like the sage she had met in Xinjin. That sage had said he could make an item for her. A powerful item that she would give as a gift to her father when she found him and he would accept her. Love her. Take her into the family. That episode had ended with the sage, on his third attempt, breaking one of the items required for the crafting. It had left Péché in tears.

This time, Péché told herself, it would be different. This sage did not look like a drunk hermit, but like a well-learned man. He required a Crystal Globe and a Wooden Statuette. Péché handed them over and walked to a copse nearby to wait nervously the word of the sage. Her thoughts were on her father and what this sage could do to help him accept her. They were not quite as grandiose as her thoughts when the first sage was working on the items. They were tempered by that failure.

After some time, the sage came back holding a sheathed broadsword. Péché was a little alarmed. Was he just a thief? Was he going to take her other items?

"I have finished the tasks. The gods gave me strength and I was able to finish the task."

"B-but...what did you make? Where is it?" Péché looked on in anticipation.

"It is this," he said, holding up the sword. "This swo--"

"THAT!?!? I gave you a statuette and a globe! How --? What --? THAT!?!?"

The sage smiled a pitying smile, "The gods are all-powerful, girl. They are not limited by space or time. This sword," he said as he unsheathed it, sending flames erupting from the blade, lighting up the copse, "is what the gods deemed fit to bestow upon you." Péché looked on in disbelief. It was better than even her thoughts of the first item. "I felt them very strongly while I was making the items. What religion do you follow, child?"

Péché was still in shock from seeing the flaming sword. "I... uhhh... religion? I... what my mother followed in the city of York. I don't think it even has a name."

"Well, child, I suggest you look into Eretzism. It was the gods of that religion that I felt so strongly guiding my hands." With that, he sheathed the broadsword and handed it to Péché. "Though it is a fine blade, it is not mine to keep. Take it, child."

Péché took it from the sage eagerly and pulled it from the sheath slowly, the flames licking up at her face. "Thank you for --" she looked up to the sage, but he was nowhere in sight.
