Important Event for Daishi

Duke Eriol Blackdagger has closed down your primitive temple in Ircymbar, and taken the 59 gold stored in its treasury.

14 gold were saved by loyal servants and added to the global treasury.

Roleplay from Timsen Quasath

Eyewitnesses report of troubling news in Ircymbar, as during service this happens:

Standing at the other side of the closed door, Eriol could hear the liturgy of the Daishi being performed. As the voices began to raise high, the Duke waved his hand forward. Immediately, the door flies off the hinges as his men storm the temple. The worshippers begin screaming and running for the exits.

"This is a place of worship! Stop this at once!" the priest of Daishi yells towards the soldiers. Stepping into the now cleared temple, Eriol walks up to the incensed, and confused priest. Smiling, the Duke says tenderly, "I bid you a good day, priest of Daishi. It truly is a wonderful day to worship, is it not?" The priest's jaw clenches and he retorts, "It was, your Grace, until the disruption." Looking confused, the Duke replies, "Oh, you believe I was referring to you? Oh no. Im referring to me. It is a wonderful day for ME to worship." The soldiers grab the priest and force him to his knees. Eriol holds his hand out as the captain places a goblet into the hand of his master. "You see, priest of Daishi, I wish to worship the Immortal Emperor this day, and you will be the sacrament."

A gurgling echoes in the walls of the temple, as the priest's throat is slit. The blood is caught in the goblet, held by the Disciple of The One. The priest, now emptied, collapses to the floor, dead before his body stops its fall.

Turning his back to the now dead priest, Eriol stares at the goblet for a moment, then hands it back to the captain. "See this gets to Wudenkin. Spill a drop, and your blood will be its neighbor." The captain takes the goblet with great care, and bows to the Duke.

Walking out of the temple Eriol, without turning back to his men, says plainly, "Burn it. Salt the ground. Im going for a stroll."

Ruler Abdicates

Craglan Mejor has stepped down from his position as ruler of Vordul Sanguinis. He has given the following reason:

The mortal coil has demanded my time and attention. I'm deeply sorry for having been such a bad ruler. This is partially why I named the role Vizier, as a Vizier is more an adviser than ruler. I wanted to maintain Xlair's vision, but knew I could never fill his boots. I must go back to my studies, as there are many who need me in this regard, and I apologize for the lapse in leadership that my time on the throne may have caused. Nobles were all but silent after the death of the Emperor, and I made effort to fill the void, but with so many tied to the Blood of Xlair only, I knew I would be but a shadow. Furthermore, those of you who've been around since the beginning are all too well aware that my skills are not usually found in diplomacy. I would like to remain duke of Xerus for now, but ultimately would like to return to my mountain when the timing is right.

May our new ruler maintain Xlair's vision, and pursue Vordulism until The Return of He Who Has Ascended.

It has been determined that someone or something is causing individuals to become demonic. Their methods, however, are completely unknown to me. This entry is not to be disclosed to anyone for the risk of worrying the populace. Some strange tool was indeed found in the cave where the bodies were found.

Journal Entry #23

After further analysis of the blood recovered in Jedinchel it has pushed my most recent hypothesis. Those individuals were definitely turned into demonic beings. For now I shall label these beings as 'demonoids', humans forcibly transformed by artificial means. So far there has been no further evidence discovered. I will further this investigation on a later date."

Letter from Maurice

Queen Aibhlidhn Dubhaine,

Mischief in Keffa? Not It!

I do not know what has brought on this slander by you against my person. I am of a Jarbosh family, but these slanders are outrageous and the work of a very aggrieved scribe intent on causing my family much trouble due to some barely-remembered slight, I think to do with somebody's ears being too large. The Netherworld?!? I would expect such from a tabloid than my Queen. This scribe is the bane of my family.

For Ar Agyr,

Maurice

Letter from Maurice

Ar Agyr,

I have reached Keffa! Let us welcome It! Can you feel It?

For Ar Agyr!

Maurice

Request from Saoirse MacArbin

Rulers of Beluaterra,

As the event in Keffa now seems to have brought in many from across the continent, I have decided to make a virtue of necessity and welcome any and all who wish to come to Keffa, and peace treaties have been offered to those lands we were not already at peace with. These will last at least for the duration of the happening, unless we are sorely provoked, and I hope to enjoy the company of many nobles whom I have not had the pleasure of meeting or corresponding with. I particularly welcome chroniclers and others historically minded, as regardless of what else happens I have little doubt this will be a time to remember.

However, I wish to set certain ground rules for those visiting:

First, while this is no tournament, I wish all to abide by tournament rules and courtesies. No hostile actions, no armed conflicts. Which means that as we will have many nobles from many lands mingling, I expect every realm that sends a contingent to sign a temporary peace treaty with all other realms doing so. At the moment, to my knowledge this is all realms save Nothoi, and I would be shocked if it were not all realms on the continent in short order.

Second, Keffa is the holiest city of the Heralds of Obeah. Priests of other faiths may come, but they are not allowed to preach or take any other religious actions, and attempts by any noble regardless of class to proselytize other faiths, or in any way denigrate the Heralds or the Veiled Goddess, will be met with an immediate order to leave. If that is not abided by, I will give each realm a chance to settle the matter internally, but reserve the right to act as needed to preserve our faith.

Third, I anticipate that there may well be someone arriving through the column of light. The appearance of this person may be strange, and while it is of course always possible that our ritual was corrupted and strength of arms will be needed, I expect that Obia'Syela be given the courtesy of announcing when such arms will be needed. Until and unless we do so, regardless of how matters may appear to any outside the faith, I expect no blades to be drawn, no arrows loosed, unless we decide that such is required.

Lady Saoirse MacArbin: Grandmistress of Obia'Syela; Royal of Obia'Syela; Duchess of Amen Obeah

Soren Navaar

Many things were happening all at once. Soren needed to process them all, so he sat in a tavern. To anyone who didn't know him, he was just another face in a crowd. He settled in to his surroundings like he was wearing camouflage. He didn't drink alcohol, the stuff only clouded the mind, so he sipped on some water while waiting for some food, lost in thought. Obia'Syela was gathering wizards and sages in a blast of light after a magic ritual. He had a sparring match at dawn, and now he had just received a letter from Lucius that had clearly been tampered with. His brother was now a Lord on Dwilight. He seemed to be in better spirits than the last time they'd spoken. In fact, that was supposed to be the last time they would ever speak. He looked at the other side of the letter. Sent care of the Blue Tower. Lucius, you fool. It was either the bravest or dumbest thing he'd ever seen.

He folded up the letter and tucked it into his pocket again. For even a sparring match, he should still use a sword. It was a shame, the man thought. He was better with a quarterstaff or even a spear than a sword.

Yao Ling Pryde

Yao Ling watched a pack... a family? of prairie dogs bound by on their way into the city as if on a mission of some kind.

She paused and considered that that was not a sight a person saw every day.

Then she sighed and followed the prairie dogs into the city.

Wild Affair

With so many in Keffa from across the continent, and with most of the various travellers having arrived, Keffa had become both a zoo and cosmopolitan city seemingly overnight, with every manner of animal and human alike populating the city, having either felt the pull themselves or followed a traveller. Domestic beasts of burden and leisure, wild beasts, from all quarters, climates, and habitats populated the city just as much as humanity from all walks of life, class, trade, and origin.

Each hour was now marked by the 15-minute increments of bright yellow, vivid red, impenetrably-pure black, and bold green coloured hues casting their shifting lights over the city, day and night.

Letter from Maurice

Queen Aibhlidhn Dubhaine,

You seem awfully affected by the Netherlords. Maurice makes no mischief, merely wishes to help bring It to Ar Agyr. Alone will not work, but with realm maybe!

For Ar Agyr!

Yao Ling Pryde

Yao Ling looked up at the pillar of light that radiated out of Keffa.

She remembered a time when something similar had radiated out of Creasur.

She remembered harnessing that power to kill Daimons.

But that had been a long time ago, and such things were not always... the same when they returned.

She wondered what this one would be as she followed a family of ducks orderly making their way through the market.

Letter from Aibhlidhn Dubhaine

"It" is of no interest to me Sir Maurice. Ar Agyr has more than ample treasures without some bauble pulled from the Nether World, and we certainly have no need of its denizens in our midst.

Murmuring Light

Indistinct, faint murmuring had been heard from within the column of light earlier, when all was quiet, and then forgotten in all the hubbub of visitors, drowned under the new noises.

But every so often, someone thinks they hear a garbled voice calling their name. Then, after listening a bit longer, and hearing nothing, write it off as the wind or an overactive imagination. Every once in awhile though, someone listens a bit closer, a bit longer, and nothing is ever heard clearly, but they think they hear something speaking...

Gustav Kuriga

Gustav could feel a burning sensation in his missing arm. The one he had sacrificed all those years ago in service to the Daimons. The folly of it still made him wince inside, but that was buried by a new sensation. His left eye, seeing the world veiled in a crimson red, saw the glows of thousands of souls in the city. But drowning that was a pitch black aura that seemed to swallow up any light that drew near it. He knew that the Portal would be there, and marched towards it as quickly as he could. He ignored the various nobles and passersby, focused on one thing, the flaming hawk only he could see perched securely on his shoulder. Unless stopped by someone, he would arrive at the portal.

Yao Ling Pryde

The ducks led Yao Ling to a man she remembered. Then the ducks broke off to make their way to a market stall with plenty of food set aside for them.

Yao Ling followed the man and matched his stride.

"Gustav, old friend," she said quietly enough that others would not hear them. Or that he could choose to not hear if he wished to. "It has been some time since we have seen each other. How do you do?"

Gustav Kuriga

Gustav turned his gaze to Yao Ling, the hint of recognition buried beneath the zealous fury that burned in them. "I am as I always have been since I turned my back on the Daimons and their heretical religion. Busy ensuring they do not have a path to this continent. Are you here to help me with this, or not?"

He would then walk off intent on arriving where the portal stones had been set in place. He had no interest in rituals or those who sought to gain. He had seen far too often what happened when such things were allowed to run amok. He was going to walk into that portal and fight the damned things that had taken his arm in the first place.

Yao Ling Pryde

"I will always be ready to fight the Daimons," Yao Ling said with a smile.

Then a procession of cats crossed in front of her and she turned to follow, intent of where they intended to lead her.

And what exactly the voices from the light were saying.

Yao Ling had lost track of the penguins when the light from the tower turned black. But the polar bear walking down the street had been impossible to miss.

The voices emanating from the light had whispered louder at that moment, and Yao Ling followed the creature as it meandered through the market square.

She eventually ran into the new arrival Luto, who always seemed to know more about what was going on than was proper.

Luto leaned in and said, "Sophos Yao Ling Pryde, We must decide. Are we to begin the ritualistic work to welcome It to Nothoi or are we to kill the Others to stop them from completing the rituals before we have done so? We need at least Two Others alive to complete the rituals. For Nothoi."

Yao Ling cocked her head to the side and examined Luto for a long time. "What is It? Who are the Others? And why should we kill anyone here?"

She waved her hand at the polar bear who had stopped to eat some food someone had left. "Even the wild animals are friendly. Surely that means nothing but goodness and light comes from this event, yes?"

Yao Ling stopped when the wild stag looked at her. It turned towards the temple of Daishi that still stood in the center of the city and began to plod that way.

Yao Ling followed as the voices from the light seemed to grow stronger for a moment. Then they faded away as the local soldiers began to escort people out of the square.

Yao Ling moved closer to the stag and it walked straight into the temple complex without deviating in any direction. Only when they were inside the walls did the stag stop and turn to look at her once more. Its expression was expectant.

Yao Ling turned her head to see the Obian soldiers clearing the square and waved one of the temple acolytes over.

"Please get this fine fellow some food," she ordered. "He has done me a great service today."

Then she walked up onto the walls to see what she could see.

Report from Yao Ling Pryde to everyone in Daishi

There is much going on in Keffa right now.

Men with weapons threatening others. Obians at odds with each other.

Some coming with intent, while others come simply to enjoy the sights and sounds.

Wild animals walking through the streets like they belong.

Strange voices on the wind.

And the tower of light that changes colors on a steady schedule.

I have seen many things, but never anything exactly like this.

Yao Ling Pryde: Sophos of Nothoi; Royal of Nothoi; Ambassador of Nothoi; Duchess of the Holy City; Senator of Eykfar; Priestess of Daishi; High Shugenja of Daishi

Summer Evening

Yao Ling Pryde

Yao Ling watched the column of light shift and undulate from atop the walls of the Temple of Daishi with the eyes of a woman who had seen such things many times in her years.

She had even been here in Keffa the last time it happened here. It was interesting. So much of Keffa was the same now as it had been then. But other parts were different.

Where the Obian temple now stood had been a crater then. Holding Daimons reportedly tamed by some otherworldly magic. Whatever the truth of that, they had stood silently as she approached the woman in the center of that crater. The founder of the religion who now sought to... what?

Repeat that? Reverse it? Do something different?

Yao Ling could not tell. There were many competing forces at work here. Even from within Obia.

The first was easy to see. The second competing push was there as well, winding around the first. A third? Maybe a fourth? Other magical attempts to change or break it popped up from all over Keffa. Some melded with it. Others fizzled out. Some met opposition.

Keffa was filled with magic in a way Yao Ling had not seen in years. Decades? Longer?

Keffa of course. Wudenkin, when the magics rained down so heavily they changed the very nature of magic everywhere. Reeds during the last Daimon Invasion when the power of magic literally erased them. And her hand. Before rebuilding it and giving an old woman the amazing young body she had now. Creasur, when the power of the gods shone from the Daishi and she harnessed that power to attack the Daimons again and again.

The magic flowed and intertwined here in ways that were... amazing.

Not entirely unprecedented, but certainly... amazing.

Yao Ling watched a line of large rats travel through the square, avoiding the legs of soldiers holding back those who were not allowed in. She wondered where they were going.

She hoped, whatever happened in Keffa, that the consecrations the lesser priests continued to perform even now inside the Temple of Daishi would hold. Would be enough. Or would not be needed at all.

That would be for the best, really.

She fingered the scrolls in her possession. She had brought many with her when it became time to make the journey. Scrolls of power. Some specifically designed to fight daimons wherever they appeared.

Others of more... interesting lineage. One she had kept for years, holding against the day when its magic would be required. She hoped now would not be the time she would need it.

Miracles from the gods were not something to call on when not needed. They did not always work the way you wanted them to, after all.

Yao Ling Pryde

The column of light changed colors again, the magic shifted once more, another voice on the wind called her name, and Yao Ling blinked.

She shifted her attention to square below her and watched the Obian and Vordul troops standing off against each other.

She considered interfering for a moment, but the dies of fighting with weapons like that were long gone to her. She was a priestess. She fought with words and ideas now.

The Vorduls had long since made it clear they would not listen to her, and their campaign to destroy the Temples of Daishi, consecrated bastions against the threat of the Daimons, made their intentions towards her and her people even more clear.

Yao Ling shook her head. They had chosen their path.

She could do nothing for them at this time.

Yao Ling returned her attention to the glowing pillar and the magics roiling within it.

Betty

The Square

Betty could not enter the square that dominated the center of Keffa. There were guards and soldiers and other armed men stopping people from entering.

She had not been to Keffa before, so did not know her way around well.

But then something caught her eye. A pack of wolves walked through the crowd as gentle as puppies. Her mistress had told her to mind the animals when she ordered Betty to Keffa. So Betty minded the wolves and followed them through the back streets of Keffa.

The pack walked up to a gate after several minutes and stopped. The pack leader turned to Betty with an expectant look. Betty raised a questioning eyebrow at the wolf, and then looked to the gate again. That was when she noticed the symbol of Daishi atop the gate. The tiny mechanical god looked out over the back street and Betty smiled before knocking on the gate.

It opened shortly and she showed her badge of office to the acolyte inside. The young man opened the gate wide then, and Betty strode into the consecrated confines of the Temple of Daishi in Keffa.

The wolves padded in with her and licked their lips expectantly, gazes shifting between Betty and the acolyte.

"Make sure they get the best cuts," Betty and patted the head of the pack leader. "They have performed a valuable service today."

The acolyte shrugged after shutting the gate and motioned for the wolves to follow him. Which they did without hesitation.

Betty shook her head in amusement and made her way to the front of the temple. She arrived atop the wall mere minutes later, and stopped next to her mistress.

"You have arrived, I see," Yao Ling said as her eyes continued to scan the action in the square.

"Yes, Mistress," Betty answered and followed her gaze. It was... complicated down there.

"Did you bring what I asked?"

"Yes, Mistress," Betty said and opened her scroll pouch to reveal the bundle of powerful items inside. "If any Daimons come through here, they will not enjoy the experience."

"Good," Yao Ling said and frowned at everything taking place beyond the walls of their temple. "Now I need you to do something else for me."

"Yes, Mistress," Betty returned.

"There may be a time ahead where great and terrible deeds will be required. They could demand a great cost of all involved."

"Yes, Mistress."

Yao Ling smiled at her for a moment. Then the High Priestess of Daishi turned back to the square ahead of them. "If matters go badly for me, you must run."

"Y... Mistress?" Betty asked in confusion. Her place was here. Right here.

Yao Ling set her jaw. "We all are called to the Great Death sooner or later. My calling has been delayed for a very long time. Should it come here, you will return to the lands of Nothoi."

"I... should stay with you, Mistress," Betty said with conviction.

"Your willingness to do so is why you should go," Yao Ling returned with a smile. "I don't know what path Daishi will choose whenever I leave. But it would do me good to see someone in the family still there to advise them."

"I... yes, Mistress," Betty said. Not that the nobility generally accepted that people of her current station were family.

"Your father was one of my best friends in all the world," Yao Ling whispered. "Having you here... now... is good."

"Yes, Mistress."

"And would you cut that 'Mistress' crap, out?" Yao Ling said in exasperation. "There's no one here we need to deceive."

Betty gave the aunt who had always seemed more like a cousin than an adult role model an impish grin. "Only if you insist."
