Roleplay from Mattias Bowker Message sent to everyone in the region Mimer (8 recipients) Mattias was introducing itself to the nobles who were near the ship where he had dropped when he saw under a tree, a small little figure, with bright black eyes. Do not even need to look for evidence, there was no doubt that was his sister. She had the same eyes as his mother, the same round face, and certainly would show the same black hair if she took off her veil. But she was considered a common and he did not know how it would be considered if he spoke to her in public. Looking directly at the person in front of him, he realized that the same was treated with great deference. It should be Basilissa Himeko Ishida. Bending a bow, greeted her with respect. "Thank you for allowing me to come into your kingdom Basilissa Himeko Ishida".

Roleplay from Ayrin Ayrin was sitting under a tree when she saw a man walking. His clothes were different from that of the nobles or Corsanctum Morek wore. His long black hair and black eyes, made ​​her feel a little pain in her heart. Could this man be her brother? She was informed by the elderly woman she called her mother that one day there had been another woman in a distant land, that the one that had given birth to her. Told her also that she, the adoptive mother, had been sent away during a plague, after what a huge war happened, making her family to flee, taking the baby with them. She had no choice but to create the girl as her own, despite the hair and black eyes. It was common to hear people wondering why she was so different from other children in the family. All blue-eyed blonds. Ayrin did not like all the attention, so she always wears a mantle over her head and almost never looked directly into someone's eyes. She heard when the man walked near the nobles and asked to them about her.

"Greetings Nobles of Corsanctum. I am Matias, from Luria Nova, travelling here to find a person that is supposedly my sister and answer by the name of Ayrin."

This handsome man was really her brother. She could not say one word. She could just stay there, looking to him, astonished until the man saw that small figure under the tree and saw her bright black eyes.

Letter from Himeko Ishida Brother Mattias, Welcome to the Holy City!

Letter from Mattias Bowker Message sent to: Seoras Madigan Nifelleisca Lord Seoras, So many things happened since we last talk. I came to know that I could have a lost sister in Corsanctum and I am now trying to find her. I received a letter from another cousin asking for help and you know, family came always in first place. I am therefore sad to inform to you that I will emigrate to another continent as soon as I take my sister to Niselur, where King Leopold will certainly take care of her till I can come back. If you can also have a eye on her I would really appreciate it. Her name is Ayrin and I did not believe when I receive that letter saying she could be my sister but, if you look at her, you will have no doubt. I did not talk to her much yet but she is a beliver of the Bloodstars, which make me very happy. She was not yet been recognized as a noble, but King leopold may introduce her appropriately. Do you think I can spread the religion at this other continent? It would be worthy to try. I've heard they have some religion called Bloodspeakers that evoke the evil and is ruled by blood.

I wish you the best at the Lurian Empire. So much past, so much to come yet. Have a good life.

Yours Sir Mattias Bowker Knight of Giask Priest of Sanguis Astroism

Mattias, Ayrin and Ailuro sail to Niselur.

Letter from Mattias Bowker Greetings King Leopold, As you can see I keep on my promise and arrived here, but, I will not stay. I want to introduce you to my recently found sister, Ayrin. She came with me and his friend Ailuro from Corsanctum and Morek. The family that saved her from the plague at the East Continent, told me the long story about all events that ended up taking them here, to Corsanctum. I would like to invite you to my tent if that is not a problem to Your Majesty so I can tell you all about it and ask you a favor.

Sir Mattias Bowker Knight of Giask Priest of Sanguis Astroism

Roleplay from Mattias Bowker After a very long and disturbed travel, Mattias arrived at Niselur with Ayrin and Ailuro. He did not talk to Ailuro but he could see him all the time, near Ayrin. His sister, although not much talkative, told him he was the only friend she have. Ayrin was still not feeling comfortable with him, but he already feel responsable for her, and for his friend. Common people were usually treated as nobody but not by him. He always had this sense of protection for everyone, specially those with less luck and education.

He knew Ayrin would have a long time to learn how to be a knight and she would have hard times ahead and he was hoping she could have this chance at Niselur, far from everyone that knew her before.

Standing in front of his tent, he looked to the sky and silently prayed to the Bloodstars for a advise. Turning around, he saw Ayrin sitting not far, over a stone and went to her.

"Ayrin, can I talk to you? Where is Ailuro?"

Roleplay from Ayrin Ayrin was tired, confused and feeling sick. Ships were definitely not the best way to travel. Many weird happenings changed her life so fast that she couldn't yet realize what was going on. Since the day she saw Mattias arriving at the shore, he couldn't stop staring at him. For the first time she could really feel a connection she never felt before. For the first time she didn't need to hide her long black hair, afraid of what would people will say of her being so different from her so called brothers and sisters with whom, she never had anything in common.

When he approach and asked if he could talk to her, she immediately stand up, leaving the stone free for him to sit if he wanted too. Bowing with her head and looking to the ground she answered to him:

"Yes Lord Mattias, I am at your disposal. I haven't seen Sir Ailuro since yesterday but I know he is around. I saw his tent over there" and pointed to a place under the trees, not far from where they were.

Letter from Leopold Arrakis Lord Mattias, Do feel welcome. I am saddened to hear that your august arrival is only temporary and that you will leave soon. I hope you will find it in your time to gaze the lush Niselurian lands and enjoy the neverending green that graces my land. We are a Kingdom that takes great pride in horseback riding and horseback warfare, so should you require a mighty stallion to carry you to wherever you may roam next, I will gladly offer it to you as a gift. Your sister and her friend are, likewise, welcome. I hope they will find Niselur to be worthy of exploring.

I shall come to your tent shortly.

For the Glory of Niselur, Leopold Arrakis King of Niselur Royal of Niselur Duke of the Golden Throne Count of Kaigen Marshal of First Edreun of Niselur

Roleplay from Mattias Bowker Message sent to everyone in the region Asurbanipal (3 recipients) As soon as he heard Ayrin's answer, a boy appeared with a letter from King Leopold and another one from Lord Fulco. He read both and dismiss the boy saying: "I will be there in a second".

"Ayrin, our talk will need to wait. I will meet King Leopold now and a friend of mine said he need someone that can talk to the sages at Samhain. Would you be kind and help Lord Fulco with what he need? We can meet in a few days in Darfix or maybe I can go to Samhain too. We will stay in touch, don't worry".

Back on his tent, he wrote a answer to King leopold.

"King Leopold, I would gladly accept one of your stallion while I am here. So far, all I saw was a astonishing amount of green everywhere that pleased my eyes. It is indeed sad news that make me travel to another far land to help my cousin but I will tell you all story when we can sit in front of a good Lurian wine that I had in my tent. I will be waiting for you at anytime you can have some time to spare.

For the Stars Mattias "

Roleplay from Leopold Arrakis As Leopold approached the tent of Lord Mattias, the guard knelt before the sovereign of this land. Taking off his silver helmet, which was decorated with a plume of a distinguished Niselur red color, he entered the tent, and found Mattias patiently awaiting.

"Greetings Lord Mattias. I am happy to meet you in person finally. How was the trip?"

Roleplay from Mattias Bowker Mattias bowed to the King, respectfully.

"Greetings King Leopold. Its a pleasure and a honor to meet you. The trip was good, without any problems and the reason that bring me here, is something I wouldn't like to share, thats why I asked for a private meeting."

With a gesture he indicate a chair, covered with some soft silk to the King and made a signal to a servant to bring the wine and some food.

"I hope you like this wine. Is from Luria Nova"

Roleplay from Leopold Arrakis Leopold set down with comfort, relieved that some moments of rest are available to him. He took a sip of the Lurian red wine which suited him perfectly in the cold northern climate.

"Thank you. I feel much warmer. The Lurians sure know their wine well."

Then he raised his arms as if in a prayer and gazed straight into Mattias' eyes.

"What can I help you with, Lord Mattias? You seem to have a burden you'd like to share."

Roleplay from Mattias Bowker

Mattias took also a glass of the wine and joined King Leopold in a silent pray. So much happened that he didn't know how to start.

"I have indeed, Your Majesty. Let me try to make it short. Right after you send me the first letter, I received another one, from my beloved sister, saying she found out our family had a big secret. She found out we had a third sister, named Ayrin that was lost during the war and the plague at our home, the Sultanate of Asena. Ayrin is not a common name as you may have noticed and it happen to me to see this name at the list of the faithfuls of the Bloodstars. Not long after this she wrote me a letter, which surprised me because commoners are not supposed to know how to write and read, but she did it, offering a scroll to me and saying she was my bastard sister. My father would never had a bastard sister. Why would he? After he joined the Sultanate he could had marry as many women as he wanted. It could be a coincidence the name, her letter, her knowledge, but I needed to be sure. How would I abandon a sister of my own blood? Therefore I started my trip to Corsanctum to find out more about this person. Right when I arrived, i saw her standing at the dock, with her black bright eyes and long black hair, looking exactly as my mother. I don't need any other proof. She is my sister and need to be recognized as one of the Bowkers and have the right to hold our Coat of Arms. This is what brings me here. You offered to me a place in your Kingdom. I ask you to take and protect my sister instead."

Roleplay from Leopold Arrakis Leopold took another sip of the wine and calmly proceeded.

"Lord Mattias, that is a most endearing story. One needs to safeguard his family ties and look after his own kin. I commend you for taking care of your loved ones. However, if I am to give Ayrin the royal protection within Niselur she needs to swear the oath of fealty to King and Kingdom. That aside, I will be glad to keep an eye on her and provide her with my support, although I must admit that effort needs to be made to make Ayrin the official noble of your House. I assume this is in your interest as well for I don't see why your sister should run around in rags when she has noble heritage. Needless to say that as a noble she'd have much greater station to achieve in Niselur. May I ask what has been done in this regard?"

Roleplay from Mattias Bowker "I agree, King leopold and that is why I brought her here. She has two recommendations already from Lord Bustoarsenzio Peristaltico, Royal of Morek Empire, Knight of Muspelheim and Lady Alana Deytheur, Duchess of the Holy City, Margravine of Mimer. Lord Fulco said he would also talk for her soon, so I believe this would be enough."

Looking for a moment at the bright sky, he continued, after a short pause.

"I also believe it would be good to let her alone for a period. It would be really strange to be around and not able to introduce her to the other nobles. That's the main reason of my departure. I am sure you understand this."

Roleplay from Leopold Arrakis Sadness engulfed Leopold as he listened to the story of Mattias. There was a certain melancholy present in two people being of noble blood, where ones' station is acknowledged and the other ones' is not, all due to the circumstances of life.

"I understand, Lord Mattias. While you decision to leave these lands for good saddens me, the deed where you leave your own kin under my protection is sacred to me. I gladly accept, and swear that no harm shall be done to her while is under my protection. Those foolish enough to try will feel my wrath, and those careless enough to go against my word shall feel the sting of Darfus, the Bane of Beast, on their necks. I will do what I can to elevate her to her deserved station, and give her the right to stand by the nobility of Niselur as equal."

After a short pause where both of the Lords were busy with their own thoughts, Leopold spoke again. "So, I believe this is farewell?"

Roleplay from Mattias Bowker "It is a goodbye, King Leopold. I will leave with my heart at same time sad and happy, knowing the sister I only could know for a few days, will be in good hands. Please take good care of her. I will not wait her return. I am packed already and will leave right now. I hope you understand that is too painful to say good bye to her."

Kneeling in front of the King, Mattias asked:

"Give me your blessing King Leopold. Where I am going there are no temples of our faith and I feel I will need to be very strong to handle all I am going to see from now on. I arrived here as a young boy and never left Luria before this trip. I feel too old for new adventures but if this is what the Stars have for me, this will be."

Roleplay from Leopold Arrakis Leopold brought out a small red medallion and waved it over Mattias' head in a gesture of blessing.

"May light guide thee, honorable Lord, on any dark roads you might walk, and may you always find courage and strength to keep you going until your find peace with yourself and with the world. I foresee great horrors on your way, but one with your knowledge and resilience is bound to repel them. Godspeed, Lord Mattias, and fare thee well."

Ayrin is dead After 3 hours, you finally find an organized undead army. They are lead by an undead champion, an evil creature with more power and intelligence than the usual lot. You fight with zeal and strength - but the undead are unimpressed. They feel neither pain nor fear, but you do. Lots of it. Then you give up trying to defeat them and you only try to get away - but you find yourself surrounded! There are too many of them, they corner you and then the champion comes for you. It is a hard fight, and you put down a couple of them. But it is no use. Then, you feel a sharp pain as the rusty blade of the champion enters your abdomen. You don't feel it leaving you through the other side, thankfully. He stares at you with that undead grin on his face and watches you slowly bleed to death. You have been killed. Alone and outnumbered, you are dead.
