And what have just been a theological inquiry by the church against you, comes to drag the nobility in when it is learned that you've... more or less appropriated space in town for construction, without approval or taxation, but backed by the mob. As you've come to learn, House Swifthawk and their retainers have taken a more pragmatic view towards you and certainly welcome any benefit you bring the town, but when you start giving people orders without noble input... well it's a danger to them, same as your divinity is a danger to the church.
The warehouse turned over to you, although a few devotees remain to clean the place up, you've been pulled aside by the official sorts who've been hounding your attention for days now.
<span class="mu-s">"It has been discussed before, but finding and accepting your place as a Saint would be welcome. Otherwise, there is danger to Eindward in a people divided between two faiths."</span>
<span class="mu-b">"I ask you miss, why bother yourself with these matters? Your place is at the castle, the only home worthy of you in this wretched land. Why, you could even ensure support of the poorly if that is your desire."</span>
Once again, like a pair of jackals they circle you. The religion of these mortals on one side, and their highborn on the other, both snapping and clawing at you for ownership. You might be offended if you felt threatened, but you know human nature enough to understand their motivations. In either case you would make for a significant strength to either party, although there seems to be less of a grudge between them personally, and rather simply a shared animosity towards you remaining as a free agent within the community. Control is where their power comes from, control is what matters and... to their credit you must admit, control is what has allowed Eindward to survive as long as it has, when other towns have fallen to the enemy and their human populace eradicated.
In this struggle for survival, you try to remind yourself of certain realities, and how you wouldn't hold their desperation against them. Same as you've brought hope to the people, the first hope in a long time, so too do you represent promise to those in power. The first promise of power in a long time, hopefully not for selfish gain but for the survival and good of the community.
