>SELECTED: This is a demonstration of power. Perhaps none of them suspect that you report to the Ordo Reginate specifically, but they know you will bring word back of what you have seen here. You will be careful to ensure you are not watched and pass this alarming report on discretely after minimal delay. [Idealist]
Until now the significance of the Cathagi to you has been a predominantly spiritual one. Between your pilgrimage, your sequestration at the Church of Holy Juvenescence and your newfound holy mission you had almost forgotten what this City is. It is the beating heart of a dying empire, one that still remembers its lost ancient glory and long covets its return. Be they Merchanta, Medusae or Stratiokas you have little doubt that each dreams of conquest by their own varying means and each will steer this behemoth in the direction most in line with their ambition. Kyria Eustace and the Stratiokas might favour you, but that does not mean they will refrain from using you as a piece in the endless struggle in the halls of power that looms behind every column in the Crescent Palace.
Sir Gilbern will hear of this report on the strength of the Cathagi warrior caste, -and- that they wanted you to see it. Perhaps it is a signal, or a warning, or even a direct threat. Doubtless the Queen’s Second Herald has more information to cast context on this demonstration than you. In any case you must be extremely careful, biding your time before following up on the Ordo Reginate contacts in this region.
