>>6090575A most prudent choice dear bannerman.
>>6090593>>6090695That is true, hiding in the dark and scheming is not in our nature.
>>6090783>>6090798>>6091046>>6091058>>6091263You took the decision to talk to Rose about all of this, after all she was clever, had the genius of intrigue and was a local, knowing about their laws and traditions. Better tell her sooner than later. So you waited a little moment when you were alone, in her chambers, and you explained her.
-You remember the tomb my lady ? I have had more informations about it from Oldfossil.
She turned towards you, visibly intrigued.
-Oh, he had informations ? Tell me everything !
She very excitedly sat on her bed and you sat besides her. And you began to tell.
-We had, here, a court mage called Rollarion McFumbles.
-Yes, I know him he was very wise. What happened to him.
-He died in an accident shortly before I came. And he left some notes, notes about the nature of your lands and what he believed was an important conspiracy.
She frowned visibly but you continued.
-Yes, you see, you Indians have many many id.. gods, well, one for doors, another for tables, a third one for a small concept like taking a breath of fresh air.
-For breathing in general and smells, and perfumes.
-Yes, yes. But apparently that was not always the case.
-Mmmh ?
-Several thousand years ago, according to his research, you all worshiped one god, and little by little it was "shattered" he calls it the shattering of the gods.
-But why ?
Here was the difficult part, you decided to try to explain what you have understood for now.
-Some say that it was that the gods will be as strong as simple mages or archmages but I do not believe in this, there is only one god. Others think that if all clergy is divided then mages will take their places as advisors to rulers.
-What do you mean ?
-In France we have one church, the Catholic Church, led by the pope present in all the Christendom, but every lord has a priest as confessor or as councillor, here every lord has a court mage isn't it. And your magical burghers guild is very numerous, present in all the Indias.
She began to understand and answered after biting her lip cutely.
-So you are suggesting that the lack of an unique church does create smaller organisations unable to compete with the influence of the Mage's Guild and so the mages take more power into their own hands by becoming advisors to lords or... Yes even full members of the Council of Many. It... It would make sense, but tell me, how could the people not be aware of this conspiracy, I mean, when you tell me to worship another god I am aware of it.
-I have no idea my sweet lady... But the extent of their machinations is visible in the tomb that we visited, the missing pannel might be a ceremony, and a structure, and the wall and columns on the other wall were erased too according to Rollarion, to mask some traces...
