<span class="mu-i">“A Knight is Sworn to Valour. His Heart Knows Only Virtue. His Blade Defends the Helpless. His Might Upholds the Weak. His Word Speaks Only Truth. His Wrath Undoes the Wicked.”</span>
Every child in Cantôn knows of the Knight’s Code. From peasant-born waifs playing with sticks in the mud to keen-eyed noble sons practicing with cold steel in the training yard, all have at the very least dreamed of one day becoming a knight themselves. To ride out on errantry into the Five Duchies Kingdom and beyond for God and Glory, bringing the Law of Adam to the wicked and the Blade of Cain to the beast.
The Knights of Cantôn are sworn to follow the Code, to obey the King, to refuse no call for aid honestly asked for, to seek out and destroy the Foe wherever it may lurk and rid the world of evil.
Were it so easy…

That City of Cities?”</span> The bard plucks at his instrument wistfully, less a proper tune for the moment and more of an absent toning while he describes that foreign realm. <span class="mu-i">“A land of downtrodden slaves and heathen slavers, monstrous men, in turn ruled by a monster of unparalleled terror, aye and majesty too. Such terrible majesty.”</span> The innkeeper places another bowl of tonight’s kitchen special on the table next to the wanderer, careful to do so innocuously enough to distract the bard when he’s having his moment. That’s when the patrons like him best. <span class="mu-i">“They call it the center of the world, those pagan scholars. And perhaps, in a way, even to us that holds more than a grain of truth. It is, after all, where we come from. The land of our forefathers, the birthplace of those brave souls that went on to forge the Cantôn we know and love today. Not home, no. Not anymore. But there is some part of us, I think, that will always be drawn there to our beginnings.”</span> A faraway look enters the storyteller’s eyes as he continues. The hushed crowd leans in, as enraptured now as they ever were even at the height of the bard’s accounting of the terrible storm during the voyage. <span class="mu-i">“I have only been there once in my life, and for any Almighty fearing soul you can say that once is more than enough. But for the truest of the God’s faithful, it cannot be any less than once. At least once in their lifetime a Cantônian pilgrim should let their eyes behold that sight, that grand City on those southern shores. Terrible in its might, terrible in its beauty, terrible what man can achieve in defiance of God’s guiding hand and how even the great can be twisted to…”</span> The bard pauses in his reverie at a polite cough from the innkeeper, responding with his signature wry smirk and soft self-depreciating chuckle. <span class="mu-i">“Heh. I’m sounding more like a priest now than a storyteller, aren’t I? Enough sermons then, I shall say only this. You should see it, the City. Just once, if only to walk in the footsteps of giants…”</span> =================================================== <span class="mu-s">POV Verification Vote: Open for 24 hours</span>If your ID changes during this thread, please link back to your OG vote here or your new ID votes might not be counted. >Young Lord Damien Andrei, elder brother and heir to House Andrei >Sir Robert Gilbern, the calculating Second Herald of the Ordo Reginate >Sir Karlaus Rabe, the gruff Montbrun companion >Sir Neil dan Marc, the loyal Sworn Man from Fallavon >Tracker Jean, the Business Partner from the Wastelands >Sir Willem Glasdale, the friendly protector of Grenmire >Sir Karlaus Rabe, the gruff Montbrun companion

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:dzI1+oUm Tue 17 Jan 2023 13:53:08 No. 5535599 Report >SELECTED: Sir Neil dan Marc, the loyal Sworn Man from Fallavon <span class="mu-s">Tunegan, 13th Day of Kostrimun, 883 A.C.E. – Romaine – Castle Andrei</span> While the food was not as exotic or garnished as one might find in an Aubrey or Fallavon hall, it was without doubt generous. It pleased Lord Andrei to see his veteran men-at-arms break their fast with him in the great hall, a seat at the longtable for any man be they a noble knight or common veteran sergeant. The breakfast meals were hearty and loud with the laughter of men that have faced much together. Lord Andrei did not truck to formalities here, at least not with those the Lord had felt had earnt their place, but there was nonetheless a deep respect. There was a camaraderie there, a bond that spoke of men having faced horrors together. The women of the castle rarely joined at the morning meal, breaking their fast elsewhere in the Castle. Even the servants were males, pages and squires or lesser unproven soldiers. Sir dan Marc was unsure if this was a Romani custom or the Lord’s personal preference. In his three days at Castle Andrei, Sir dan Marc had not once seen the Lady Hewitt again since delivering her here safely. It had not been an easy journey, travelling by the backroads and lesser known paths from across the continent to avoid detection. Nor did Sir dan Marc judge himself a particularly chivalric companion, a hedge knight barely above a lowborn as the sole escort for a highborn maiden. He had never been entirely comfortable around the fairer sex, they always seemed to him such alien creatures. A different sort of Fae. Attempts at conversation for their first few days, weeks even, had been stilted and awkward. Sir dan Marc had maintained the horses and gear diligently, while the Lady had contented herself with reading the same three books several times over. She had only been allowed three during her detainment under the Reginate’s watch, more house arrest than a dungeon. She had refused to leave those behind, despite the hurried nature of their departure from Port Bounty. [1/4]

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:dzI1+oUm Tue 17 Jan 2023 13:55:58 No. 5535601 Report Quoted By:
The full weight of what had befallen her house had at first been unclear, but they had overheard snippets as news from Pascae overtook them on the road. Eventually she had confronted her escort over it… that had been a difficult conversation. Sir dan Marc was not good at reading people even on his best days, but it was little wonder that news of the attainment of her entire noble house and every adult relative of that lingeage was a blow she had yet to recover from. She still had her life, in no small part to Sir Andrei and those in his service, and for that she was grateful. The journey had not been without danger but, praise be to the Almighty, aside from hurrying off the path at the sight of one galloping Reginate herald and a particularly dicey encounter with bandits, they had arrived at their destination unmolested. Lady Hewitt had refused to leave those behind. Sir dan Marc had assumed she would be accepted as a lady-in-waiting for the matriarch of the Andrei family, but the eldest sister Roselyn had wasted no time in scooping her up into her own entourage upon their arrival. Sir dan Marc had hoped to see her tonight at the evening dinner, just to reassure himself of her wellbeing, but it seemed the Andrei’s were keeping the disgrace noble lady close to their chest for now. Sir dan Marc couldn’t fathom why, politics was not his strong suit. The evening dining in Castle Andrei, such as tonight, was vastly different from the morning meals. These Lord Andrei reserved for his close family and guests of honour, of which Sir dan Marc was surprised to find himself counted among. Lord Andrei’s son and heir Damien had introduced Sir dan Marc to the most senior of the men present at breakfast, but Sir dan Marc had felt out of place and kept his peace except where prompted. At the evening meals, under the gaze of Lord Andrei, Sir dan Marc felt himself too often the centre of attention. Sir Neil dan Marc had never been much for talking, another area not his strong suit. He was deeply self-conscious of his lacklustre attempts to describe the achievements of Lord Nikolai Andrei’s son during their time together with the appropriate flair. Sir dan Marc wouldn’t consider Sir Rabe a close friend, but he would have to admit with some chagrin that the gruff Montbrun knight would have been much better at doing the story justice. [2/4]

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:dzI1+oUm Tue 17 Jan 2023 13:58:15 No. 5535603 Report Quoted By:
Still, Lord Andrei was a generous host and didn’t seem to take any offense to Sir dan Marc’s matter-of-fact report on their adventures in the wilds of Fallavon and intrigues at Pascae. In fact, the Lord spoke to Sir dan Marc more as a peer than a distinguished landed noble to an unlanded knight with ‘dan’ in their name. Sir Andrei had been too kind in his letter of recommendation, too flattering in his praise of Sir dan Marc’s meagre service. Sir dan Marc had only done what was expected of him as a Sworn Man after all. <span class="mu-i">“Well, as I was saying, good steel is always welcome, my love is practically salivating at the prospect of a deal with the Rabe iron markets”</span> Despite the presence of a half-dozen others at the table, for all the world to Sir dan Marc it seemed the Lord Nikolai Andrei was intent on speaking to him alone this evening. <span class="mu-i">“Oh do go on and tell every guest our House secrets, dear.”</span> Lady Andrei intoned dryly as she motioned a servant over for another cup of Romani wine. The best wine Sir dan Marc had ever tasted, certainly. <span class="mu-i">“But I will say that son of ours will just stop tip-toeing around the matter and ask for her hand already…”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Mother, <span class="mu-s">please</span>.”</span> Young Lord Damien Andrei groans. <span class="mu-i">“I’m right here!”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Yes. You are. <span class="mu-s">Sans</span> grandchildren, I might add.”</span> The expression on the face of the Andrei matriarch at her son’s obvious discomfort could only be compared to that of a cat with a mouse. <span class="mu-i">“Damien’s cold feet aside, I can tell you that my own correspondence with Brunhilde is bearing fruit.”</span> Roselyn Andrei’s smirk matches that of her mother. <span class="mu-i">“At this stage an actual engagement may just be the formality to our proposed…”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Ignore the women and their plotting.”</span> Lord Andrei smuggles a sly wink to Sir dan Marc, tactfully electing to ignore the rolling eyes from said women at his interruption. <span class="mu-i">“Come with me, I need to walk off some of this wine. Let’s talk men’s business now, young Sir.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Men’s business?”</span> Sir dan Marc blinks at the change in subject, deciding to switch from wine to water for the remainder of the evening as he followed his host . <span class="mu-i">“I’m afraid I don’t follow, my lord.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“War, my boy!”</span> Lord Andrei chuckles with bravado for a moment, but his tone turns serious as he leans forward. <span class="mu-i">“Ardenrise is coming, and with it… Well, you’ve not seen a real winter until you’ve spent one in Romaine. While good steel is all well and good it’s of scant use if I don’t have the men to wield it, and I’ll be damned if I ride into that cold winter night with one less good swordarm behind me than I might otherwise have.”</span> [3/4]

Another winter after that and on my honour you’d have your own grant of land to call your own out by Andryski way with a few farmhands. A humble enough acreage, sure, but yours. How does that sound?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“I’m…”</span> Sir dan Marc could hardly believe his ears. <span class="mu-i">“May I speak frankly, my lord?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Always.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Forgive my impertinence, lord…. But to me it seems that you are putting an awful lot of faith in a man who is otherwise unproven in your eyes.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“You -are- proven.”</span> Lord Nikolai Andrei responds seriously, holding the young knights eyes with his own gaze. <span class="mu-i">“My son recommended you, Sir dan Marc. My son. Emile might act before he thinks on occasion, but my boy is no liar. He’d not have spoken of you in such high esteem if you were not a true knight with the mettle to face what is to come.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“And what is to come, my lord?”</span> In that moment the night sky beyond the castle parapet seemed very dark indeed. <span class="mu-i">“The sins of our past. The ghosts of our present. The trials of our future. Our never-ending war, in all its glory. And all its horror.”</span> Lord Andrei places a hand on the solid stone wall, glaring out into the dark as if issuing his own personal challenge. <span class="mu-i">“Ardenne. Ardenne is always coming…”</span> =================================>A lowly hedge knight such as Sir Neil dan Marc could expect much worse than a steady occupation in service to a respectable house. Sir Andrei has done him a great favour here, attracting the interest of just such a Lord was the main reason he had begun attending tourneys at all. Becoming a sworn man of Lord Nikolai Andrei and the Andrei household would be a high honour. It would also mean remaining close to Lady Hewitt. [Humble] >Sir Andrei may have released Sir dan Marc for the purposes of this escort mission. But that mission is now complete, and. Sir Neil dan Marc will pledge himself to the aid of House Andrei through the winter, Sir Andrei would want that, but he will not pledge himself to a new Lord. In his heart, he still serves another. [Taciturn] >Having accompanied Sir Andrei on his vigils in both Pascae and Motte-Fallavon, the idea of completing his own trek to the final vigil in Cathagi has been weighing on Sir dan Marc’s mind. Perhaps he could even re-enlist himself in Sir Andrei’s service, should the knight have need of him there. [Idealist]

Y'know I'm pretty sure humble and taciturn achieve the same effective result but taciturn leaves future service to Emille on the table since I'm pretty sure Dan is going to take to it loyally if he gets properly employed here. I'd change but honestly I would be happy seeing Dan settle down with Maria and taciturn doesn't really have that same pursuit in the wording & after what he did for us in Fallavon & Pascae I consider any debt well and truly settled.

Curiously forgotten, what would the 2nd entail? After the winter he remains at Castle Andrei until such time we return?

Jess and Mikhail are bound to us for good, but Sir Rousseau will be leaving with the pilgrims once the pilgrimage is finished, and Rabe, Gilbern, and others are by no means guaranteed to always be by our side. A Sworn Man is sworn to us, and Neil dan Marc has shown that he is absolutely worthy of being kept around.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ya3MCYeGXCQ&ab_channel=VariousArtists-Topic – Last Night on the Coy SirenThe last night abo the Coy Siren is a lively one, the entire crew and complement of pilgrims is gathered in a cheery farewell feast above deck. At sea, absent a starry night and open fire, the deck should be in virtual darkness. But such is the torchlight emanating from the City and beacon fires on the bay that the whole harbour is ably illuminated.
The festive air with the crew and passengers is heavy with relief at their safe arrival and shared laughter over hardships faced and journey’s weathered. Both parties look towards tomorrow with anticipation, although the material eagerness of the sailor’s shore leave pales in comparison to the rippling fervour of the pilgrim’s at tomorrow’s disembarkment and trek to the final site of their long pilgrimage. Still, the two groups mix freely, trading mementos along with stories and are in general quite companionable of good cheer. Very good cheer as it happens, once the last reserves of the grog and even a cache of spiced wine is doled out for all present. You would have assumed that Captain Alfonso Verdicci would have taken issue with the deteriorating lapse in discipline, but in fact he encourages it.

<span class="mu-i">“Bad luck not to celebrate a successful voyage together. And I would rather the men be free tonight rather than <span class="mu-g">strafare</span> themselves ashore tomorrow.”</span> When asked why, the Captain explains that slavers in the form of mantakers and local gangs can turn a quick coin on the misfortunes of the unwary. Being robbed blind or swindled by the locals is a standard risk at any port, but apparently in these southern waters a drunken sailor separated from his mates one night on shore leave might easily find himself a galley slave by the next morning if the right hands are not greased. <span class="mu-i">“The practice is heavily discouraged by Merchanta dictat, bad for trade, but discouraged does not mean forbidden. “</span> <span class="mu-i">“I take it that you don’t intend to remain long in Cathagi?”</span> You ask him as the man proffers a furred fruit of some sort that resembles an overly large cherry. It’s fresh, bought today from an entrepreneurial ferryman peddling their goods between the larger seafaring vessels waiting approval for a berth. <span class="mu-i">“No, we will trade what stock I have here and move on. Chancing the Tempest Isles might be worth the profit, considering this time of year, but I will have to touch base with my sources at the markets tomorrow and judge whether it is worth the tempting of fates. Most likely we will end up turning east and south instead, wintering with one of the enclaves in the Everwarm Waters. Much kinder to sailors than our northern waters.”</span> The fruit is furred, and resembles some sort of large cherry. You have yet to decide whether you like the taste. The furred fruit, resembling some sort of large cherry, rests forgotten in your palm. Your attention is entirely on the far-off look in the Captain’s eyes. <span class="mu-i">“I have never dared as far as Anza Anka, but perhaps this will be the year… Here, it is best to first cut the stem off with a knife.”</span> [2/3]

You wipe your mouth with the back of your hand before considering a second bite. You’ve not quite yet decided whether you like the taste. <span class="mu-i">“What is this place you speak of, Azanka? I’ve never heard of it.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Anza Anka? I know very little, beyond this name. I hear it is as south from here as Noriskaa is north.”</span> Captain Verdicci shrugs, making some noises about needing more maps and charts before making a decision. <span class="mu-i">“In any case, I will come back this way on the round trip, doubtless picking up some pilgrim passengers on their way back to your homeland, eh? Perhaps we will see each other again, yes? Even do business again.”</span> =====================================>“I’ve dabbled in mercenary work enough to know it is not for me. But please do call on me when you are next in Cathagi on your return trip, I would love to hear your stories of these far off lands.” You have enjoyed the company of the exotic foreign Captain, but you’ll not pledge yourself to any future promises here and now. You have commitments enough as is and, if some need or offer should arise in the future, you will make your decision on whether to involve yourself then. [Haughty] >“We understand each other, and part as friends. If the cause is just, I won’t rule out another professional engagement. Perhaps, when we next meet, we could talk both as friends and business partners, Almighty willing.” No amount of coin could convince you to draw your blade in a dishonourable cause, but the Captain pays well and has been open enough with you in the end. Down the line, when you have funds worth the bidding, this could easily lead to a mutually beneficial arrangement in his trade stakes. A valuable investment indeed. [Hearty] >“Godless heathen that you are, I will still offer the Almighty a prayer for your safe travels. As for your offer, no knight worth the name would turn down a friend in need. If you call, I will answer.” You’ve no inclination to look at a more professional engagement like in Langland, but you make it clear that you will assist the Captain should he require your aid. And jest aside, you have been pleased to see the Captain present for the latest mass even if he was not an active participant. [Idealist]

Emile may be a haughty zealot, but he's clearly pretty open minded when it comes to passive heathenry (the Fae comes to mind). My headcanon is that he thinks of paganism as a kind of mental disability.

[Hearty] The Captain and you shake hands, wishing each other well on your respective adventures ahead and promises to speak at length again when your paths next cross one another. While not of noble blood, he is far from the same stock as copper clipping merchants that unscrupulously scrounge for the next deal. You can respect a man that lives and breathes his life on the seas, each successful trade funding his next adventure. The respect is mutual, the man practically swears that the name <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-g">L’Orso Tempesta</span></span> will ring in every port the Coy Siren graces. This pleases you more than it necessarily should, perhaps to the point where you may need to refer to the sin of pride in your next confession. You take another bite of the furred fruit, not too dissimilar from a cherry. You think some more on how you'd describe it to another, but that is the best you can come up with. As the night passes in good cheer and many a toast, you think that maybe the taste will grow on you. <span class="mu-s">Wenegan, 14th Day of Kostrimun, 883 A.C.E. – First Light - Nova Cathagi Docks</span> <span class="mu-i">“All my life I had dreamed of this. Long before I took my vows, since I was a little girl even.”</span> Sister Ignatius speaks softly, her fellow nuns trailing from the gangplank behind her. <span class="mu-i">“To walk these streets where the Truth and the Light was first bestowed upon our forefathers.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“It boggles the mind.”</span> Father Towbray seems less impressed with the looming sight of the city sprawled before them. <span class="mu-i">“That such good and holy endevours could be borne of this wretched hive of scum and villainy.”</span> [1/3]

<span class="mu-i">“These folk are people first and foremost.”</span> Sister Ignatius, normally calm despite the regular spirited debates with her theological opponent, now shows a flicker of annoyance. <span class="mu-i">“I suspect that we will meet the good and bad among their number. Much like folk anywhere else, the best will have their failings and the worst their own worth. Salve Reginae.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Near nine centuries, and what has since become of the City the Brothers liberated?”</span> The Reclaimant priest’s following of ragged-cloaked zealots has doubled in size since the voyage first began as more of the main body of pilgrims, although you worryingly suspect your confessor considers them -your- followers. <span class="mu-i">“We see now again a multitude of souls in thrall to a monster. It is a hollow reward for Adam’s mercy…”</span> <span class="mu-i">“You do Adam’s act an injustice, Father.”</span> Sister Ignatius admonishes, holding that view that the Reclaimant sect seems in her eyes to be missing the entire point of that major chapter in the Cantôn where Adam begged Cain to spare the dragon’s life before the final blow was struck. <span class="mu-i">“And, I think, we might see that the true nature of affairs here are not so simple in this foreign land as you put it.”</span> You politely ignore your confessor’s derisive snort in response to the holy sister. Instead you keep an eye out to ensure all the pilgrims are account for. You have got them this far, you will not lose one to the grasp of a slaver at this final stretch. Truth be told you have not seen a single chain around the neck of any of the multitude of bodies swarming this way and that streets leading away from the gangplank. Clearly there is a distinction between the shirtless bodymen carrying litters of the pampered wealthy in their soft silks about the deck, but whatever delineation of rank or class sets one apart from the other is not immediately clear to you at first glance.

Brother Rousseau has indicated that he mostly remembers the way, hardly a surprise for a man with a history in the Knights Comitas. With a start you realise that the milling group of Cantônians in penitent robes gathered around on the docks beside the berthed ship that carried them here are all waiting for someone to take the lead. For you specifically, in fact. <span class="mu-i">“My son. <span class="mu-b">Ζώντας Άγιος…</span>”</span> Father Towbray’s posture is deferential, but none of the passion has faded from his gripping glare. If anything, since that fateful storm his earnest gaze has only intensified. <span class="mu-i">“What blessed psalm shall we raise up to the ears of the Almighty, on this fine and holy day of His creation?”</span> As Cantônian tradition demands, the procession of pilgrims in their final stretch to the vigil site sing psalms as they enter the maw of the City. Any psalm will do, but the first one should hold some particular significance to the one who leads them. =======================================>“Cain qui crucem confregit, ora pro nobis…” An old song, in an old stylised Church dialect.

>>5538076 Pretty sure they are all idealist because they reflect different key aspects of the ideals of the faith, the first is the very reclamist take that first crusade undertaken by Adam & Cain to free mankind and redeem the race of man. The second is very Adamite as it recalls there is a shared brotherhood in mankind as the children of God for all our differences & the third..... well I'm less sure on this one but it could very well be the expected humility of recognising we are a small part of creation or something.

[Idealist] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGvMXgIr6js&t=199s&ab_channel=AdorationoftheCross - Psalms of the old Cathagi dialect <span class="mu-b">+1 Step on the Path of Adam [21 Steps]</span>
The boon will be revealed one the eve of the final holy vigil You stand armoured in your full-plate, your duties as an escort take precedence over donning the penitent pilgrim robes like your compatriots. You would have drawn a few eyes in the hustle and bustle on the docks, even without the throng of pilgrims following in step. Brother Rousseau in his Comitas whites takes the leftmost side of the street, guarding your flank. You have not sighted Jess or Orin since you disembarked, but you trust they are taking up the rear. Behind you, Mikail cups your helm reverently in his hands like an altar boy entrusted with some symbolic artifice.
You’ve never held yourself up to be much of a singer, boasting a voice more suited to hearty laughter and shouted commands on the battlefield than the sanctified notes of a holy song. But you try to do the psalm justice, crying out at with heartfelt effort as you begin your march into the city.
<span class="mu-i">“Δεν φέρνω το σπαθί, αλλά τον Λόγο...”</span>
The words go on. When the Brothers first returned from their wandering in the desert, the hand of Almighty heavy upon their shoulders, they came to liberate the City. They brought with them the Word, the divine truth. Not a man’s mangled version of it, not a scholars lofty interpretation, but the Truth. When Adam preached to the masses, the huddled multitudes yearning to breathd free, there were none who could remain deaf to it.
<span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Λέει την Αλήθεια!</span></span></span>
Comes the choral refrain from the procession of pilgrims. Bodies part to either side of the street on the busy docks the procession forms its own lane of traffic. Most locals pay it little heed, just another throng of faith-mad foreigners. But a few heads do turn, perhaps they are those transient few not used to this sort of spectacle.
<span class="mu-i">“Σας λέω, αυτός είναι ένας Πεσμένος Κόσμος...”</span> Beggars crowd this street, wrapped hands proffered out limply for alms. They are miserable even the standard of beggars from your homeland, those too old, too diseased, too maimed or infirm to even turn a profit in the selling of. If they register your passing, it is only to raise their begging hands up a little higher in the hope of something, anything, being placed there. You can imagine Sister Ignatius weeping at the sight somewhere behind you.

Behind him, the silken robed man that must be his master glances dismissively in your direction before heedlessly returning to his haggling with the stallkeeper. You think it strange that you remember those two faces in the blur of what must be thousands of others in the crowded streets you pass by. <span class="mu-i">“Αλλά κάποτε ήταν ολόκληρο, και θα είναι ξανά...”</span> You know the sounds and lines of the ancient words themselves from your Sandag sermons, but not their meaning. Not really. Psalms based heavily in the roots of the Cathagi tongue were not particularly popular in Romaine, only the more well versed monks understood exactly what the congregation were listening to. <span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">Λέει την Αλήθεια!</span></span></span> As the psalm concludes and the next is taken up by the pilgrim behind you, your attention is drawn to an armed figure ahead. A Cathagi Hoplite, bedecked in the hallmark green of the Stratiokas, stands in the middle of a wide street ahead. The soldier is not aggressive, his stance is relaxed and the spear rests leisurely against his shoulder, but even his nonchalant posture and the presence of two others to the side of the street presents an obstacle. ========================================>He has no right. No right at all. It is not just ancient Church Law that forbids any to impede or harass the path of pilgrims to the final vigil, wars were fought to protect this sacred right.

[Haughty] This is a matter of the safety of our pilgrims. We must be aware of our surroundings . They could be getting us to stop for a slaver ambush, which is probably why the law says we aren't allowed to be stopped in the first place. It is easier to surround our retinue when we aren't moving. We bid him move aside first or else there will be problems.

>>5539075 It seems pretty unlikely that slavers are going to rush out of the alleyways to enslave a very large and very public (and guarded) group of Cantonian pilgrims...

>>5539078 Fair, but our duty is to the pilgrims. They could silently pick off one of them near the back/edge of our group as a opportunity.

>>5539082 I mean again, we have ourselves and the comitas and Jess and Orin (both of whom we believe are in the back). I don't think we're going to be predated like that but you're right, protecting them is our duty. With that in mind I think avoiding bloodshed is the best option no? Escalating the situation unnecessarily seems like a bad way to protect the pilgrims
Anonymous
>>5539078 In equal measure though we don't know the the extent of the protections we and/or the Pilgrims are afforded in this foreign city, Emille is a foreigner far more informed on church and Cantonian law than he is in Cathaggi law and custom I would not be surprised if Cantonians/Pilgrims were fair game by some loophole that would allow such a open taking of slaves but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised by protections provided even to a minority outsider like Cantonians.

>but I doubt such a staggering loophole would exist with the frequency of these pilgrimages I suppose it comes down to weither anyone can be held accountable for such acts or not, from my understanding Cantonian's are a minority in Cathaggi as is the church despite a number of crusades against the city so any influence that is felt in the city is still weak and heavily outweighed by other influences present.

[Hearty] Don't want to turn this holy procession into a fight, especially after singing such a psalm about the beauty of the Word. We are in a foreign land after all and every unforeseen consequence may have double the meaning because of that. Perhaps we could mention Militades to him if he pesters us too much. Or rather Eustace, as she was the leader of the green-cloaked warriors instead of the red ones.
Hell, I remember us becoming somewhat familiar among the Hoplites and maybe our name will ring something in his head. The Stratiokas and Militades got a hefty favour from the dragon as a consequence of us saving their asses on the King's Road, I doubt he would wish to go against us.
If he really gets annoying, then we can get pissy in the true Storm-Bear way and bash him around a bit.

We should take the Hearty option because that lets us talk to this person and see what the deal is without being confrontational. It's important to start what will be a yearslong stay here in Nova Cathagi off on the right foot.

Once you are recognised, a nearby officer is quick to order that your party be permitted to pass unimpeded. <span class="mu-i">“Greetings, soldier.”</span> Close up you realise that the hoplite barring the way is very young indeed, of an age with your own squire. They acknowledge your words by shifting their stance to face you directly, but offer no reply. <span class="mu-i">“We are pilgrims late of the Kingdom of Cantôn.”</span> Behind you the procession has come to a halt, the psalm trailing off a little as the foremost pilgrims watch the exchange. Perhaps they young hoplite had expected his comrades to back him up in any confrontation, but the other soldiers seem completely disinterested in the exchange. <span class="mu-i">“Our destination is the Comitas chapter house that I am told is just a little further down this street.”</span> Again, he stares you down without offering any meaningful reaction. <span class="mu-i">“Might I ask why you bar the way?”</span> You are doing your utmost to keep your calm, even if he does not speak your tongue this is just rude. But teaching an impudent foreign whelp some manners in front of these pilgrims might not be in the spirit of Salve Reginae’s mercy and forgiveness, which you are trying to do better in emulating. <span class="mu-i"> “I see…“</span> Perhaps a change of tact is called for. <span class="mu-i">“How fares the Kyrios Militades?

That name-drop does garner a reaction, finally, in the form of the young hoplite glancing uncertainly at one of the other shoulders who has stood up and called out through the doorway of the building they were leaning against. A guard post you know realise, seeing another Stratiokas step out into the street. <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">“Τι είναι αυτό?”</span></span> The newcomer is donned in the green cloak that seems to be the only recognisable symbol of higher office. He regards you critically as one of the other soldiers mutters in his ear. <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-g">“Αυτή η εξορία μίλησε για τους Εξυψωμένους ονομαστικά?”</span></span> A cutting word and sharp gesture from the officer resolves the stand-off immediately. While expression on the young hoplite’s face barely shifts, he nonetheless retreats hurriedly and sinks to his knees on the side of the street in abject obeisance as the officer begins speaking to you directly in a rapid Cathagi dialect. <span class="mu-i">“Exoria. The beneficent Kyrios begs pardon for the intrusion and bids your bondsmen and servants be on their way.”</span> Another figure in humble robes steps forward, head bowed and posture submissive. They speak in fluent Cantônian, albeit heavily accented, and seem to have no difficulty in translating at the pace at which the officer is speaking. <span class="mu-i">“Before you take your leave the esteemed Kryios will have your name and style, exoria.” </span> <span class="mu-i">“That is kind, but no apology is necessary. This appears to have been a simple misunderstanding.”</span> You gesture for Brother Rousseau to lead the procession on, seeing no reason to not give the officer the time of day until at least the last of the pilgrims have passed the checkpoint. You do not much like the assumption that they are your property, although the mistake is understandable. <span class="mu-i">“I am Sir Emile Andrei, of the House Andrei, knight of Cantôn and charged with the protection of these pilgrims.”</span> [2/3]

>>5539985 on this, interacting with the slave right now outside her function is likely a mistep and will only cause her pain and honestly we need to see the Pilgrims to the chapterhouse before we can get upset about anything.
That said I'm all for fucking off slavery and taking some names We already know Militades and Eustace are in the good graces of the Dragons court at least last we heard so their exaltation isn't unexpected.

Hmm, you know, something the thread didn't discuss (or if it did, I don't recall) is just how Kyria and Militades rose up so much.
Hunting foreign animals can't be that rewarding unless the whims of the Dragon are much more impactful on Catahgi society than I'm led to believe.
In any case, I agree with other anons that now is not the time to investigate. Since this seems to be a guard post, we can come back to talk with this Kyrios Leon later on, or more likely Militades or Kyria will come to us.

No real backing yet to any theory yet but I have begun to feel that Cathaggi is a bit of a paper tiger nowdays one that is ancient and remembers its strength but has since lost much of it for one reason or another.

I could see it going 2 different ways.
1. We free slaves and then the gangs follow them for a day or so and recapture them, putting them into slavery in another part of the city.
2. We're seen as an easy mark and are either sold slaves who return straight back to their masters or sold what appear to be slaves but who again, are working with the slavers for a cut of the profit

I have a suspicion that I'm waiting on confirmation of that one of the covert operations of the church in the city is an underground railroad of sorts, if it exists I think its a good start on this option.
There is also the option of keeping them as slaves in name only until we leave then we free them but I almost feel like thats a throny point or two. Anonymous

>>5541238 The church has better things to do than freeing Cathagi slaves. Remember how its presence on the continent is thin enough that we couldn't get a rundown on anything but the most basic political climate? I'm pretty sure the few agents they do have are buried deep and not particularly inclined to be connected to a massive logistics chain moving the least secure cargo there is - people.
When considering the church's covert operations, always think "would Gilbern do this?". If he wouldn't, the church likely isn't either, since he's very indicative of the type of people the Queen trusts with the less palatable aspects of politics. Gilbern would never waste resources (and more importantly, risk trusted assets) on something as pointless as freeing slaves on another continent.
TLDR; The church aren't going to be actively interfering in Cathagi society. Our contacts will all be spies and intelligence operatives.

Well we probably should buy, then free a translation slave, pretty quick. Offer them a modest pay and then set aside a portion for them to repay us upon the end of our stay.

>SELECTED: “He is correct. I would speak further, but I am afraid I cannot tarry.” The last of the pilgrims are passing the checkpoint now, you were correct in assuming that Orin was at the rear. Jess however is nowhere to be seen. You bid your goodbyes as politely as you are able, but you will not keep the pilgrims waiting to make conversation with a slaveowner. [Haughty] <span class="mu-i">“He is correct.”</span> You affirm, keeping your tone polite but your words short. You refrain from being to personable with the young bilingual slave, doubtless doing so would only raise her masters ire and risk being taken out on her later. <span class="mu-i">“I would speak further, but I am afraid I cannot tarry.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“The accommodating Kyrios understands, and wishes you on your way.”</span> The Stratiokas officer offers his own polite nod before stepping away as the slave girl concludes her translation. <span class="mu-i">“The Exalted Kyria Eustace will be informed of your arrival, honoured exoria.”</span> An entirely innocuous statement in and of itself, but one that nonetheless causes you a tinge of concern. You remember well the Cathagi warrior woman in the wake of the battle on the Kingsroad, and the in particular the way she stared at you. Perhaps your memory of the encounter is warped from time and circumstance, but if forced you would describe that look as similar to a contestant valuing up a prize to be won. As you and the pilgrims continue to follow Brother Rousseau confident stride through the city you struggle to take in anything you see. There is so much activity, so many faces, so many variations between the clothing and creeds that brush by the procession in these narrow winding streets. It is clear that Nova Cathagi has virtually nothing approaching cultural uniformity, so much so that you have real difficulty discerning who is a local and who is a foreigner. Many of the former appear to adopt some or all of the fashions of the other, or vice versa, to the point that retaining one’s own traditional apparel is a fashion statement of itself. But this melting pot of cultural affectations on display is hardly the strangest exhibit you are confronted with. You pass a row of chanting shaven headed men sitting cross-legged on the side of the street. They are each of them as naked as the day they were born and covered head-to-toe in white chalk so you could not honestly say what kingdom they hail from. Their chanting, or rather manic chattering, seems at once both completely discordant and somehow eerily in sync. You avert your eyes from the barbarity, and raise the volume of your own unnerving recitation of the psalms in an effort to drown them out. [1/2]

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:dzI1+oUm Mon 23 Jan 2023 13:14:40 No. 5542484 Report [2/2] Further on is another exhibit of nudity of a more erotic nature. Women, and men, of every ethnicity and origin array themselves in half-shaded shopfronts and balconies that emit sickly sweet perfumes and heady incense that billow between the silk curtain. Draped in such scantily clad attire, there could be no mistaking their profession. Bare breasts and oiled skin ripple in the oppressive sun as the courtesans, concubines, doxies and what-have-you attempt to entice pursuers of the flesh. Thankfully your procession is not solicited, but you suspect the reason lies more with the weight of other purses present than any respect for your faith. Another side-street catches your attention, more an alley than a street proper. It does not seem a place any respectable person would be seen going down, but the place is packed with persons of all sorts coming and going. A number of signs hang over it in at least a dozen different languages, one quite clearly daubed “Prophet’s Lane” in your Cantônian mother tongue. There is much noise and shouting originating from further down that street, so you find yourself relieved when Brother Rousseau passes the place by without pause. You are nearly at the Comitas Chaper House, the refuge of yourself and the pilgrims before the final vigil. The street opens up into a larger thoroughfare with marble columns lining either side. It must have been a glorious avenue in its heyday, but clearly in disrepair. Whatever might constructs these pillars held up have long vanished, leaving only the floor tiles and cracked columns in their wake. But it is here that your procession is delayed by some sort of commotion up ahead. Armed men on official business. Men wearing the purple livery of the Dragon Guard. ====================================>Burly giants, clearly Norsikaan by the helm and longaxes slung over the shoulder, but armoured in glittering chainmail hauberks of southern make.

Oh Forgotten you glorious sneaky derivative bastard I figured it out. I know how the sons of sin were forged. Under His champion specifically the In the Halls of the Dark Father ability it says once a champion dies a new champion is selected. Furthermore, there is the Unbreakable ability that would explain why Anarchy was so hard to kill. Tell me the truth. Is each sin one of the aspects of the Dark Father? And if so does the Dark Father still endure?

>SELECTED: Burly giants, clearly Norsikaan by the helm and longaxes slung over the shoulder, but armoured in glittering chainmail hauberks of southern make. These men are a different breed from the sort of ill-tempered drunks you encountered in Port Bounty. [Norsikaan Cohort] You’ve encountered Norsikaans before in Port Bounty, you even fought one in the narrow alleys of Port Bounty and remain unimpressed by the encounter. You had been just about ready to right their kind off as drunken, mean louts that relied more on enthusiasm than any true skill in a real fight. These creatures are a different breed entirely. There are four of them, standing bold as you please in the impressive southern maille and longaxes hefted over their shoulder. Standing between them, comically miniscule in comparison to such dangerous giants, is an unarmed shaven-headed slave-boy nervously addressing an assortment of armed men squaring off with the Norsikaan’s in the esplanade. <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">“Με αλάνθαστη υπαγόρευση, ο κύριός σας καλείται στο παλάτι της ημισέληνου για να απαντήσει στις υπηρέτριες του Υψίστου. Οι ζωές όσων αντιτίθενται θα σβήσουν.”</span></span> The slave-boy, younger still than the last slave translator you encountered, receives no response from the score of mercenaries of varying origin interposing themselves between the northmen and their own employer. <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">“Αυτές οι μάγισσες δεν έχουν δύναμη να με καλέσουν!”</span></span> The silken-robed Cathagi man at the center of the mercenaries speaks confidently, but you can see the sweat on his brow from here. <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">“Είμαι αξιοσέβαστο μέλος της Κάστας Merchanta! Ποια υπαγόρευση με καλεί; Είμαι σίγουρα κάτω από την αντίληψη του Υψίστου…”</span></span> The Norsikaan closest to you seems entirely unfazed by the long odds, bored even. Each of his muscled arms are draped over the shaft of the longaxe across the shoulders like a water-carrier coming from the well. He pays no attention to the dozen armed men to his left and right, instead basking in the warm glow of the sun. <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">“İnvokable dikte ile efendiniz, En Yüksek'in cariyelerine cevap vermesi için Hilal Sarayına çağrılır. Bunu engellemeye çalışan herkesin hayatı kaybedilecektir.”</span></span> The slave-boy ignores the silken-dressed man, addressing directly a set of spear-wielding men adorned in light padded tunics and simple headcloth wrapped about their faces.

The slave-boy’s words do garner a reaction from them, much to the indignation of the silken-robed man. The group of a half-dozen warriors step back and shoulder their spears, eyeing the situation warily. But that still leaves at least a dozen more mercenaries standing their ground, if only because none of them appear to understand exactly what is going on. The boldest of them, a Langlishman by your reckoning, and perhaps too keen to show his employer that his coin is being earned, steps in the path of the foremost Norsikaan with a sneer. <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">“Siamo più numerosi di te, ora corri o ti daremo una lez-”</span></span> The mercenary puts his hand on the hilt of his sword, perhaps another act of bravado. It is the last thing the fool ever does. What follows next in the short span of a few seconds can only be described as slaughter. Odds of two-to-one, three-to-one, it is of no moment. The Norsikaan cohort moves with a vicious speed that belies their size and strength, each unstoppable cleave of their longaxes parting armour, flesh, muscle and bone with ease. Each swing takes a life, with all the inevitability of death itself collecting an overdue debt. It is the most brutal display of sheer butchery you have ever witnessed, half-a-dozen men reduced to bloody chunks and bisected meat in as many seconds. <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-b">“Mér leiðist!”</span></span> One of the Norsikaans exasperates as the barking warcries and hooting laughter of his comrades subsides. <span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">“ Ekki einn hundur meðal þessa hóps er verðugur tíma minn! Hvernig lætur þú guðina heyra nafn þitt með svona aumkunarverðum óvinum?”</span></span> There are no screams of the wounded, only the shocked cries of the onlooking crowd and panicked shouts of the mercenaries smart enough to flee at the first sign of violence. The only ones remaining are the impassive spear wielders, keeping a respectful distance. In the centre of it all, covered in the gore of the recently slain, stands the slave-boy and employer of the mercenary are frozen in shock. Cheap cloth and expensive silk both look much the same when drenched in blood. <span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">“Þunnt val, að vísu. Mér finnst þessi lofa góðu.”</span></span> Another Norsikaan facing you unclasps his chainmail faceguard to scratch an eyepatch, his single remaining eye scrutinising you. <span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-i">“Það gæti jafnvel þurft tvær sveiflur af öxi til að velta þessu tré, Einari Norn Sár.”</span></span> <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-b">“Segirðu ekki?"</span></span> The verbose red-haired giant turns at the barking words of his countryman, and approaches you with his bloody axe still slung over his shoulder. He seems to like what he sees. <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-b">“Við frosið nornarauga, Baldur Fjarsyn, getur verið að þú hafir rétt fyrir þér. Kannski einhver íþrótt eftir allt saman! Hæ, Hálfdan! Hafa hrafnar þínir hvíslað nafn þessa manns í draumum þínum?"</span></span> [2/4]

Their tagalong translator seems well versed in several languages, but none of them are recognised by anyone in your party. It doesn’t escape you that not one of these northeners seems at all bothered in the slightest by the fact they just cut down half-a-dozen men in full sight of at least a hundred people, as if the efficiency with which they carried the act out wasn’t sign enough that you are dealing with some very dangerous folk. You can see that the red-haired Norsikaan is excited and interested in you, perhaps due to your impressive armour and warrior’s build, but exactly what he wants escapes you. ======================================================> “I take it this is some sort of challenge? Very well, but I am too busy at this very moment. Once I am done, a convenient time and place in the near future can be agreed upon. My squire will get the details.” You are not obligated to accept a challenge from a northern barbarian, but a part of you wants to try your strength against such a man. But this can wait until your pilgrim has finished, you dismiss any notion of being held up any longer here. [Haughty] > “My. Name. Is. Sir. Emile. Andrei. What. Is. Your. Name? Sir?” You speak slowly and loudly, hoping to get through to these barbarians. If you join the Dragon Guard, these men may be your comrades. It may pay to be polite and establish some rapport where you can, if only because they might be some of the deadliest warriors you have ever met. [Hearty] >“We are pilgrims of Cantôn and have no quarrel with you. Let us both be about our own business, and part ways in good cheer.” Your tone is subdued and your eyes watchful on the four arrayed killers that regard you with varying levels of interest. Your hand rests casually upon your sword hilt, ready to draw at a moment’s notice. No false bravado here, if the northern devil tries his luck he will not find you such an easy target. [Idealist]

I'd like to offer a write in. I feel like Emile would love the challenge of fighting this guy and testing himself against them just as he did in Langland. He has to know he's the best, if not he has to understand how they fight, it's a thirst. BUT he's not going to shirk his duty, or his purpose in being here. Imagine dying before completing his errantry due to arrogance, his confessor would be livid

Its interesting we've not been here 5 minutes and already have a display of what this city offers of the world and how little Canton is considered in that regard despite how large our homeland might be.
Brushing it off will likely be interpreted as cowardice, talking louder makes us seem like an idiot though the Norsikaan will get our name for his pagan gods and from what I infer no option states a fight immediately however each option has a chance of escalation due to our lack of a translator.

>>5542484 Icelandic is fucking impossible to understand. I recognise it when i see it, but it's like hearing medieval danish t. Swede. Anyway here's the google translated viking speech:
>"Not one dog among this group is worthy of my time! How do you let the gods hear your name with such pathetic enemies?" The Norsikaans are unsurprisingly pretty gung ho about their gods, believing that personal combat is the main way to please them
>"A thin choice, admittedly. I think this one looks promising." >"It might even take two swings of an axe to roll this tree, Einar Witch Wound." They're referring to us here.
>"With a frozen witch's eye, Baldur Fjarsyn, you may be right. Maybe some sport after all! Hey, Hálfdan! Have thy ravens whispered this man's name in thy dreams?" Halfdan is clearly a Seidr, or at the very least has the makings of one. Seidr is traditionally women's magic, but Odin learned how to wield it from Freya so it's not unheard of for men to practice it. Maybe these "frost witches" are Seidr too.
>"They speak many names. How the hell would I know him? Idiot." based Halfdan
They exchange some more banter, and then we get challenged by the red-haired guy.
>"Tell him boy! Tell the armoured man that I will put my name against him, and see who reaches the ear of the gods!" There you have it. He wants to fight us in order to further his standing in the eyes of his gods, but probably won't push the issue if we make it clear that we're on duty.
On a side note, acquiring a companion Seidr-woman (or man) would be a very desirable development in my humble opinion. Considering the nature of our enemies, even vague hints at the secret dealings afoot could prove valuable. I REALLY think we should fight their leader and build a rapport with them just so that we can talk to Halfdan about his visions.

The raven-black dude seems to be able to speak with ravens though. Not sure if they're taking the piss at him or he is truly some kind of shaman.
Also F for the slave boy, he can't speak Cantonian at all.

Everywhere you go, it seems one foreigner or another is set on killing another over some trifle. At least in Cantôn charters are issued and challenges properly arranged before knights start swing at each in the street. <span class="mu-i">“Once I am done, a convenient time and place in the near future can be agreed upon.

<span class="mu-i">“I will?”</span> Mikail is not the only one that appears confused, the Norsikaans are speaking amongst themselves.
The distant dark-haired one seems completely disinterested in the exchange, and the blonde one with the distinct purple sash that might denote a rank seems set on herding his comrades away, captive slavemaster in tow. Most of the talking is between the one-eyed huscarl and his loudmouthed red-haired fellow.

<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-b">“Það er geðveikt. ”</span></span> The red-haired one shakes his head in disbelief, although disbelief at what you have no idea. <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-b">“Ég held að þú sért að búa þetta til.”</span></span>

You and the pilgrims have been held up long enough as it is, so you decide to press on without further delay. Behind you the blood-soaked slave boy and your squire stand next to each other, both looking equally at a loss as to what exactly they’re supposed to do. As for you, your eyes are on the building ahead. The Church of the Holy Juvenescence, the order chapter house for those Knights Comitas based in Cathagi. Supposedly, it built upon the very same site where the original home of the brothers Adam and Cain were raised by the mother, Salve Reginae. 800 years is a long time for any historical certainty on the part of the scholars, who knows how much the city had changed between the beginning of the Brother’s exodus and the time when the foundations of this holy site were first laid. Certainly it is where the victorious warriors of the Crusades Adamant believed it to be, their puritan and militaristic touch is evident in the functional architechture much at odds with some of the more majestic examples in the City. The Church of Juvenescence is nowhere near as mighty and imposing as the Church of Adam’s Martydom in Aubrey, nor so beautiful and extravagant as the Cathedral of the Brother’s Landing in Port Bounty. But it is defensible, a low wall about twice the height of a man surrounds the compound where pilgrims sleep and shriven themselves before commencing the final vigil. [2/3]

Besides, such beaten armour and old age only tells us of his experience in this dangerous profession and I do think that the Comitas is dutiful enough to not put such a man at the command of such crucial position. Well, I hope that's the case.

This blemish mars your sense of accomplishment. [Idealist] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKWRuFjIRFo&ab_channel=catholictraditions – Pilgrim’s Welcome <span class="mu-i">“I beg forgiveness, your holiness. We lost two good and faithful men on the road through Fallavon.”</span> You sink to your knees at the feet of the Chapter Master, recalling the names of those who perished under your care. <span class="mu-i">“Master Percy of Aubrey to a foul undead monster and Brother Riche of St. Gabriel’s Gate to bandits.”</span>
Master Percy of Aubrey, humble cobbler, fell to the clutches of a Wodenaki on the road to Motte-Fallavon. His untimely demise was avenged in full by yourself and the other knights in escort shortly after. Brother Riche of St. Gabriel’s Gate, member of Reclaimant Sect, slain by a bandit on the road to Port Bounty. His death was not in vain, you can only pray that further pilgrims would find themselves unmolested by banditry on that stretch of the road for the foreseeable future. Perhaps, if you had kept better watch, perhaps instead of pursuing the bandits...
<span class="mu-i">“There is naught to forgive, my son.”</span> You start at the tender touch of the Chapter Master’s hand on your forehead. Looking up, you can see the sorry expression writ plain upon his face.<span class="mu-i">“Every year men and women find their faith calling them on this journey. It is a great tragedy that not all survive the ordeal, but none can say they were ignorant of the risks when they took their first step. You did not abandon them, and that is more than can be said for some. Raise your head high instead, sir knight, and think upon how many more might not have been spared but for your protection.”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“More still had I not had the good brother here by my side.”</span> You nod to Brother Marcel Rousseau behind you, the Knights Comitas steps forward to take a knee at your side. <span class="mu-i">“He has been as steady as a ship’s anchor, one could ask for no more faithful a companion on these troubled roads.”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“Brother Rousseau, I had not expected to see you in the colours of our order again. You have taken the vow of silence, I assume?”</span> Chapter Master Callahan clearly recognises the former knight of House Rousseau. This development does not come as too much of a shock, you were aware that he had been a member of their order many years hence. <span class="mu-i">“I see. I will not ask you what troubles bring you back to us, but I hope there is some small measure of peace to be had from it. Come, come all. The vigil awaits, but first you must rest your weary feet and fill your empty stomachs.”</span>

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:dzI1+oUm Wed 01 Feb 2023 13:38:30 No. 5553006 Report Brother Rousseau remains at your side as the procession trammels through the threshold of the Chapter House, you find a reassuring presence as always. But for some reason that you cannot precisely pinpoint, the man now does not seem to be his usual silent self following the Chapter Master’s address. This sounds odd to say, but he is… quieter than usual. Withdrawn, somehow. You resolve to speak with him at some point before commencing your vigil, which is typically commence on a Sandag some days from now. You set out from Aubrey with some two dozen souls on the pilgrim’s road, not including yourself and other knights in escort. Several of that number only journeyed as far as the Motte-Fallavon festival, as they had intended, but your numbers were again boosted in the days leading up to your departure from Port Bounty. Why exactly is not immediately clear to you, the cynic may believe that the arrangement of free passage secured through your favour from House Wavell played a part, but perhaps word of your visions factored in as well. It is somewhat humbling to think that while you were on your own pilgrimage, there were several others of the same mind and fortitude. Some ahead, some behind, some taking more circuitous routes and some more direct. Yours is the largest party of pilgrims to arrive this month, but certainly not the only one. Most others travelled in parties of a dozen or so from across the continent with a Comitas knight or two in escorts, many fared worse than you and you discover at least one party did not arrive at all. One such procession included a dozen of those are men sitting cross-legged in the gardens of the Church that you would not recognise as Cantôn folk, dark skinned men in silken robes and speaking in a strange tongue. To your surprise, they came not from the north to pay homage to this holy site but from the south. <span class="mu-i">“Did you think that the light of the Almighty shone only upon the shores of our homeland?”</span> The admonishing smile of Chapter Master Callahan sticks with you for some time after you say it. Cantôn has always been the Kingdom of Heaven, by your understanding. But why would the Almighty’s realm pay heed to the borders set by fallible man? [2/5]

Revered Patriarch, Twenty-three souls passed the threshold into Salve Reginae’s Sanctuary today. They were escorted here by a young knight of Romaine, Sir Emile Andrei, charged with their protection by the Aubrey Chapter Master Gilles de Moray. He was accompanied brother of the Knights Comitas, Marcel Rousseau, as well as his squire Mikail of Andryski and attendant Orin. Sir Andrei also reported aid from others along the way, nobles and commoners both, not least of which being House Wavell who funded the voyage of the pilgrims of meagre means. The names of those faithful pilgrims have been entered into the Sanctum Roll, but I shall repeat them here. -Sister Superior Ignatius, Aubres Convent Sister Superior Ignatius, having successfully led the junior sisters of her order on their pilgrimage would set their sights on ultimately establishing a permanent foreign charity mission (under the Ordo Medicae) for the poor, the sick and the downtrodden in either Langland or Cathagi. Entrenched against the more adversarial views of her counterpart Father Towbray, she remained staunch in her view that the unsaved foreigners are no less deserving of Salve Reginae’s mercy, and perhaps only all the more in need of it. -Sister Claire, Aubres Convent -Sister Varity, Aubres Convent Sister Claire and Sister Varity would ultimately join Sister Ignatius’ enterprise in establishing of a foreign mission, having forged a close loyalty with the Sister Superior over their journey thus far. -Sister Esther, Aubres Convent -Sister Dominque, Aubres Convent Sister Esther and Sister Dominique would content themselves with returning to the cloister in Cantôn, renewed in their faith and vows. -Father Towbray, Reverend of the Reclaimant Sect Having borne witness to miracle and strength of character alike, he would soon gather his own like-minded gathering of followers in a ad-hoc subsect of the Reclaimant Sect. Certainly not a cult, no. -Brother Abelard the Elder, Reclaimant Zealot -Brother Abelard the Younger, Reclaimant Zealot -Brother Hans of St. Gabriel’s Gate -Brother Jon of Aubrey, Reclaimant Zealot -Brother Capal of Orleyville, Reclaimant Zealot Never at peace following the demise of his brother, Brother Hans looked for his own death in the growing conflict with the snakemen back home and found it there. The other Reclaimant members without hesitation joined Father Towbray’s sect, devotees of the living saint.</span> [3/5]

Died a happy man. -Master Pettigrew of Lake Sinclair Already owing his life to Sir Andrei, he was among the first to join Father Towbray’s sect -Master Caleb of Southern Fallavon Joined Father Towbray’s sect -Master Joab of Norwache Joined Father Towbray’s sect -Madame Curth of Szeged Laid her stillborn child’s ashes to rest at the holy site -Master Benjamin of Port Bounty Joined Father Towbray’s sect -Master Terrence of Port Bounty Joined Father Towbray’s sect -Master Keiran of Kingston Became a sailor, he would wear a scrap of cloth that was apparently worn by a Storm Saint for luck -Master Carlisle of Port Bounty Took orders as a sergeant-at-arms of the Comitas in Cathagi They were not without losses, one Master Percy of Aubrey and Brother Riche of St. Gabriel’s Gate perished on the way. Sir Andrei seemed pained by his failure to protect them, I saw no need to for admonishment in this regard. With a further contingent of eighteen being escorted in the next few days, we expect the total number of pilgrims at this Sandag’s Long Walk to number 97 in total. There have been no further incidents since my last correspondence, and one should hope that remains the case. Your humble servant, Brother Callahan</span> You are told that some 97 souls are expected to attend the vigil.

We absolutely need help in the persuasion department. We've buffed our combat abilities greatly and are pretty good in that department, but we cannot have another affair like the Ball again. +20 dc is an enormous boon that will help us in most diplomacy battles. Since we will probably get another boon after the vigil, lets shore up our weak spots.

As other Anons pointed out, we are in foreign territory and we need to survive the den of scum and villainy that is Cathagi. A robust upgrade to our social skillset is a good start to not get into a deadly situation in the first place.
As for the Vow, it is certainly demanding and it will require some thinking on our part and careful wording will be important from now on. However, Emile was never that much of a liar in the first place - even his cloak & dagger moments have always been of the flashier kind, not quite what an actual operative is up to.

First and foremost, something has to be noted:
Forgotten says that it is LIKELY that we will get another one once our last vigil is done, and since that shouldn't take too long, we can postpone one in favor of another(to say nothing of getting a third one once our stint in the Dragon Guard is done).
>A Knight is Sworn to Valour Both are useful in a battle and the Oath only applying to Foes is nice, and while it is unlikely that we will have battles in the DB, we still may face one before our final vigil.
>His Words Speaks Only Truth Good shit, Diplomacy is always great to have and another Battle Companion helps loads, though will it be useful before the next Oath?
>His Wrath Undoes the Wicked Captain Canton can always use improvements, however, they only apply to Foes, and it is very unlikely(unless Forgotten has a SoS relaxing and the last Vigil).
Diplomacy seems best, though i'm fine with the first set.
TL;DR
>His Words Speaks Only Truth A) Orator: +20DC to Persuasion Rolls
*You may not speak a lie, even to save your own life.
Hey Forgotten, since we have no current liege lord, does that mean if we take the first Oath, we can never retreat in the face of the Foe, or that we are able to fallback onto the spirit of the Oath, such as obligations, like to those we are protecting(the folks in our party) or those we swore to see again(family) or even our father being our "liege lord".

Besides that, I'd accept a direct command of the Angel to flee as in-character absolving you of the dishonour as well at least in your eyes.
I would not think it this extends to those that you are protecting or have obligations to etc. You may be faced with a choice where you might have to dishonour your vow to never flee in the face of the Foe so that you could continue to protect others but your noble intention would only rinse some of the dishonour from the act of fleeing rather than wash it away altogether. Similarly, an oath to return alive would not remove the dishonour of fleeing.

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:dzI1+oUm Thu 02 Feb 2023 12:42:04 No. 5554142 Report As other anons have pointed out, there is a likely further Code unlock coming soon and in all probability another one following the conclusion of a term of service with the Dragon Guard. With that landmark, Sir Emile Andrei is on the fast track to exhibit all of the virtues demanded by the Knight’s Code and be considered what is in Cantôn society a ‘Knight of the Realm’ rather than a mere Knight Errant. Now, I should stress that ‘Knight of the Realm’ is in the strictest definition of the Cantôn language any knight that is in service to the realm whether that is part of a holy order, direct service to the King or sworn to the banner of a lesser landed noble. However, when an inhabitant of Cantôn talks in plain speaking terms about a ‘Knight of the Realm’ what they are actually referring to is an ideal. Much like Salve Reginae is considered THE ideal mother that all mothers should strive to emulate to their best ability and understanding (ref: Plato’s Cave Theory for a longer discourse), ‘Knights of the Realm’ are considered exemplars of the knightly profession that other knights should look up to. Some examples of ‘Knights of the Realm’ that Emile would know about and admire, even if he hadn’t met them personally, would be the ‘Red Rhum’ Sir Charles von Rhum, Sir Brockland the Stone, Lord Heinrich Hightower, Sir Jarsay the Fair and Lord Kasper Alexandi to name but a few. Every current Pegasus Knight would also almost certainly fall in that category, at least by the reckoning of anyone from Montbrun. When children fight imaginary foes in the field with their sticks, they’re doing so after listening starry eyed to tales told of these sorts of men. While not a qualifying feature, you can be rest assured that at least once mud-stained child somewhere in Cantôn would be imagining themselves fighting alongside the Storm Bear or whatever other title a traveller has coined you by.

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:dzI1+oUm Thu 02 Feb 2023 12:44:50 No. 5554143 Report [3/3] It is possible for a very famous knight to not exhibit all (or even any) of the Codes but still be renowned across the land by noble and commoner alike. In the inverse, it is also possible for a knight to be completely unknown to the people and peers alike yet extol the very same virtues in some far flung corner of the world. But both of these are rare examples, with most ‘Knights of the Realm’ being known across most of Cantôn in at least knightly circles. Emile is actually getting to be quite well-known among certain stratas at this stage in several duchies, at least to the point where the average knight you encounter will more likely than not at least have heard of your name if not your deeds. ==================================== At this rate, while I might have my own view, I think the definition of Foe is both mechanically and philosophically contentious enough to warrant putting this to a vote. There are significant boons and drawbacks from either interpretation.>Emile believes that the Foe includes any enemy of righteousness, be it man or eerie, foreign or domestic. Terrible monsters, foreign threats to the future of Cantôn, despicable slavers, or even the soldiers of a rival Lord if the cause against them is just. As far as a knight is concerned, all are the Foe and must be opposed with equal tenacity. [Wide Interpretation] >Emile believes that the Foe strictly incorporates monsters and other inhuman threats such as beastmen, Fae, the Undead and other such threats that have plagued mank since its inception. Humans can be enemies of the righteous, even evil, but they are not ‘The Foe’ in the existential sense as a threat to mankind. [Narrow Interpretation]

I see the potential advantage there (and honestly the potential for characterisation because Emile would fucking hate that) although we'd have to be in pretty dire straits to retreat I think. It'd be a great character moment as well, oath or not, I think Emile would struggle with it.
I'll stick to my vote, I don't think humans should be considered Foe. The Foe is a much larger, much worse enemy. They are Wrong and I don't think we should benefit from all enemies being considered "Foe". It feels like it'd cheapen the idea. But that's just me

Seriously though I'm gonna call it here that this will be a lopsided vote but whatever, I think the position on this is nuanced on our prior experience and adventures that people and creatures can despite different agendas, goals and methods can equally serve a righteous cause as much as dark one everywhere in creation man and the creations of the world struggle against the fallen world of degeneration and decay that to often sucks them to the bottom, but with righteousness of thought and action the world can be reclaimed but it does not always have to be with sword and fire.
TLDR: The Foe is someone who gives into the undercurrent of the fallen world and not all are necessarily foe but all can be should they surrender to it.

The Foe is such because of the harm they cause, not just because of their shape or form. Evil that lurks in the hearts of men and all that.

>>5554148 > I TRIED TO FUCKING TELL THEM REEEEEEEEE Y'all miss out on how this can also make us a better spy. Combined with Hearty, we can make honest connections with people and be trusted. Cathagi clearly has multiple internicine struggles and so factions would be far more willing to work with a trustworthy foreigner than someone they think a traitor, providing mutual benefits by aiding Canton against domestic rivals
Fuck, diplomats are also known to be spies.
On top of that, Emile is genuinely not a direct part of any political faction back in Canton and so can honestly say his purpose here is not at the behest of anyone but for his own goals. Of course if he should learn of a threat to Canton he would see it as his duty to protect his home, and he intends to share correspondance about his daily life with comrades back at home maybe seek advice from more experienced elders etc.
But a spy? We are a Knight, we are no more a spy than any other patriot of Canton in Cathagi.
Besides, who would look at how Emile acts and think "Yeah this guy totally plays politics".
Also note that Cathagi probably definitely has their own spies in Canton and it's known the Prince doesn't want to see us there but isn't directly acting against us which further establishes Emile as not an enemy actor but instead someone who is inconveniently earnest and honest.

That's why earlier I said it should depend on who we chooae for our confessor down the line.

Like we literally travel with a Fae and wear the symbol of a Beast.

The Fae also saved our life and we didn't trust her for quite a while afterwards and only began to travel with her due to feeling a life debt towards her iirc
All this to say, the Foe are still unrepentant and repugnant monsters, this fae is just "one of the good ones"

Terrible unthinking monsters, yes but yet not all Fae are foes.
Humans whom Emile has fought tend also to be 'opponents' or 'enemies' yet not many are truely 'foes'.
I feel his foes would be those marked by his angel and those whos depravity and wickedness he feels has forsaken all light of redemption and are condemned for the pit.

>>5555230 We didnt need the angel to mark our enemies before. If we were chosen, then it must be due to our own innate qualities and decisions. As for the Fae we have dealt with, we were surrounded by them and also had to get our brother out. We were certainly civil, but all in all they are the greatest ,et also the least of the Foe. Canton has the mot history with them, but they are the closest to a people of all the Foe,unlike the undead or SoS. As long as they stay in their woods, we are fine, present company excluded due to binding oaths.
Some anons are taking the wide choice due to an optimistic outlook, pointing out that it may allow greater differentiation of the Foe, thereby elevating some out of the category. However, it would also make it easier to plunge humans into the category of Foe, a dangerous path that can lead to an excess of zeal. We can take the narrow path and still find exceptions, but it will very much be a case by case basis, either thru demonstration of merit or picking the lesser of two Foes.

While I personally wouldn't mind doing that at some point
preferably through a crusade adamant , their is no time limit on when a villian must be punished only that they are. It might not be necessarily be entirely in the spirit of the wording but it's one way of reading it.
But I do agree it requires some leg work to work around especially as Emille has been hot to trot when it comes to dealing with Villanous or reprehensible characters previously, unlike sir Gilbern he wears his heart closer to his sleeve.

>>5555409 Assuming that Forgotten won't have us vote on Emile's definition of 'villainy', I believe that there are two criteria to fit in that category.
The first is 'malice'. For example, a random Cathagi slave owner isn't necessarily villainous: slavery is shitty for most folks, but it is pretty much a fact of life for them. Instead, a villainous slave owner commit malevolent actions such as constant abuse of their slaves or tricking free people into slavery just to increase his possessions.
The second element is 'harm', aka a villain must actually cause actual damage - physical or otherwise - with their actions. It's a bit tricky to define the entity of a villainous damage, but personally I'd say that it must be irreversible or at least difficult to restore.

Humans can be enemies of the righteous, even evil, but they are not ‘The Foe’ in the existential sense as a threat to mankind. [Narrow Interpretation] The people you have met on your long journey here, the friends and foes you have encountered on the road, these experiences have changed you. You cannot imagine yourself as the same young man as when you set out from Andrei lands. Your conviction to the cause of the Almighty, the service of light and righteousness, has only grown all the stronger. With an Angel on your shoulder, how could it not? But your perceptions of who you had long considered to be irredeemable enemies and natural allies has been challenged. You are not so blind to the realities of your parlaying with the Fae and other denizens of Fallavon to hold that every Fae or unseelie creature is evil incarnate, and there are more men than you had suspected were anything but a comrade in mankind’s struggle. In this, men like Father Towbray and the renowned Cainite knights of the Broken Blade are wrong. Not every beastman need burn upon the pyre of Cain’s righteous fury, should they do the sons of Adam no harm. But does that mean they can be trusted much beyond certain proven individuals? You doubt it, although the possibility exists. Still, if man wishes to regain the Kingdom of Heaven it must do so on its own strength and merits. Even the lowest of humans, even the most wicked and self-serving of men, even they do not wish for the extinguishment of the entire human race. A brigand, a killer or a slave even can perhaps, be redeemed and shown the error of their ways. Even those very worst, the heretic Pit-fallen Sons of Sins, perhaps. If they can even still be considered human. The same cannot be said for those not of your race. You have seen firsthand the merciless hunger of the monster that has tasted the flesh of man, the bellowing rage in the beastmen that would throttle the whole world of man if it could but wrap their dirty claws around it’s collective throat. And worse still, you have looked into the eyes of the Deadmen and seen that bottomless Pit that lies there. There was no hate there or even hunger, no fear or room for compromise. In those cold dead eyes was the slaughter of babes, the burning of cities and extinction of your whole race done without a tear wept or second thought given. With enemies such as these, peace was never an option. No. You have seen the face of the Foe, that ancient enemy of all you are sworn to oppose and destroy, and it does not wear the face of Man.

The Sanctum is open to any pilgrim that has come thus far, but first each one of you must eat and rest the night. Some unruly murmur of protest is heard from the procession, but this is swiftly dissipated when you see a hint of the iron in the old man’s authority in the command that follows.
The Salve Sanctum is the site this very building was built around, and perhaps the holiest shrine in all of the Cantônian faith given that is technically the starting point of the Long Walk. But to go there and meditate in the hushed halls straight from the road, without food and rest first is not an option. The Sanctum will still be there tomorrow. Although he smiles warmly as he says it, the Chapter Master forcefully refuses any requests to pay homage to the Salve Sanctum, and no one presses the issue.
It is hard for a rumbling belly to argue overmuch with an offer of free food, you suppose. And even you find yourself looking forward to the more temporal pleasure of a meal and rest, a well-earned respite after this long journey. A warm meal, prepared by others in this strange land. Reginae Wept, a bed! A proper cot as opposed to a hammock or roll of bedding draped over a saddle on the ground. You’ve not enjoyed such a thing since your time in Pascae, and that was more out of necessity in recovering from your penance.

>SELECTED: Many of the knights escort have been sequestered to their own table, exchanging stories from the road. The majority of them wear the white robes of the Knights Comitas, though not all seem sworn to silence like Brother Rousseau. But there are a few that are like yourself, like-minded men of noble blood that made a similar pledge to continue their pilgrimage from the First Vigil and protect others along the way. You’d like to meet them. [Haughty] The knightly gentlemen present are predominantly brothers of the Comitas, the vast majority of those honour their oaths of silence and eat their meals in good-natured but dull companionship. There are exceptions of course, typically among the higher ranked of their number. One such man you recognise is Brother Jesaul, he was one of the senior men at the Knights Comitas Watchtower along the vague border between Romaine and Ardenne. At first the man doesn’t recognise you as the same young pup he would send diving into the chilly waters of late autumn with dozens of other Romani boys as part of your gruelling training for your duties come winter, upon induction you had all been stripped of your heraldry and personal belongings so the bold Ursen and chain heraldry meant nothing to him. Not every youth survives their service in the border forts, but well you remember how many of those deaths would have been avoided if they had but remembered the warning lessons of the old man. The man seated to your left is introduced as Sir Mattis van Brooksvale, a quiet fellow that lets others carry the conversation. There is little about his armour or manner that shouts renowned knight, in fact he’s equipped little better than one of Father’s common man-at-arms. He speaks no word of his own achievements, and seems deeply embarrassed when Brother Jesaul claims to have seen him slay five Langlish pirates by himself, at once mind you, when they were waylaid during their own voyage through the Cathagi Strait a mere two weeks ahead of you. With a start you realise that this is the same unnamed and plainly adorned knight that stood the First Vigil with you, his path from Aubrey must have overtaken yours during your expedition into the northern reaches of Fallavon searching for your brother.

Across from you sit the Cedric twins, younger sons a distant Fallavon House that you are not familiar with. Although the twins are originally from Fallavon, they have most recently granted leave from the Royal Army to undertake this pilgrimage. Theirs was the most direct from Aubrey to Cathagi, rather than the more circuitous and traditional path. They still wear the king’s colours openly despite not being here on official Crown business, an honour typically only granted to those proven men that have several years of commendable service among the Kingsmen. By all accounts their request for a leave of absence came suddenly and somewhat as a surprise to their peers, but when you ask them what compelled them to complete their own pilgrimage together this year they are surprisingly reluctant to give a straight answer. ===========================================>Sir Cedric and Sir Cedric. Identical in every manner of appearance from their short-styled blonde hair to their startlingly blue eyes, they are amiable and chatty fellows that are easy to get along with. It’s not often you hear of a knight putting a promising career in the Royal Army on hold to travel, let alone two.

There is an irreconcilable difference of opinion that must be settled. Depending on the degree of success, this is either a friendly test of arms or a cartel issued in bad blood. 0 = Overbearing arrogance. Your haughty personality clashes with that of the humble lowborn knight. Worse still, you are perceived by many of the Comitas present as the one offering insult and Sir van Brooksvale is regarded as the better man for letting your unintended slight slide. 1 = Polite discourse. Conversation between the two of you it stilted to say the least. While you both remain polite, you fail to find common ground and engage in genuine conversation. At least you find out a little bit more about the man. 2 = Pleasant companionship. With a little coaxing, the humble knight comes out of his shell for the evening. The two of you get along well and pass a pleasurable evening exchanging stories and histories. Should you two meet on the road again in the future, he will greet you as a friend. 3 = Fast friends. Sir van Brooksvale is honoured to be recognised by a knight of your pedigree, viewing himself as much the junior despite your similarity in experience in the field of knighthood. You in turn admire the man for his strong faith and ability despite his comparatively low station, and when the man offers to come to your aid as a companion in the future if needed you see no reason to dissuade him.

It is, but where there is more than one male successor the junior sibling receives the Duke title, with the even more junior getting further Royal estates and titles such as Marshal of the Army or minor lands etc. While the sons of the Duke Aubres are in the line of inherentance, the Duchy itself remains in the direct Royal family tree. So if the Crown Prince were the only surviving male heir of the King, he would be first up to inherit the title of Duke ahead of the Duke's own firstborn son.
This is not the case in other Duchies, of course.

Despite his origin as a commoner, by his very presence here at the final vigil he has doubtless earned your recognition in your shared rank. <span class="mu-i">“We did.”</span> The non-assuming man nods civilly as he returns the grip, though you can see he feels complimented that you had remembered him. <span class="mu-i">“To think, with all that has happened in between we'll stand our first and last vigils together.”</span> You double down with a warm smile, determined to win the man over before the night is through. <span class="mu-i">“I'll be honoured the share the Long Walk with you in the coming days. Please, tell me of your journey here, pirates surely weren't the only trouble you found along the way?"</span> <span class="mu-i">“Brother Jesaul is overkind in his telling of our encounter with the pirates. Two midshipman had already given their lives in the defence of the aft before I was able to reach them.”</span> While it takes some time and not a little good-natured patience on your part, eventually you manage to elicit something more eloquent than monosyllabic responses from the withdrawn and plainly adorned knight. <span class="mu-i">“In any case I’d suggest that most sailors, honest and corsair alike, rarely have the benefit of decent armour in a fight at sea as I did.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“A worthy achievement all the same, given the odds. I only meant to express my admiration.”</span> Brushing past the man’s attempt to moderate your compliment, you think you identify the real issue behind his words. <span class="mu-i">“And the death of those two men at their hands is not your cross to bear.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“No, of course…”</span> Sir van Brooksvale turns red with embarrassment, his hesitation. <span class="mu-i">“My apologies, sir. I’m just surprised a man of your status is even talking to me. I would be honoured to have you by my side on the Long Walk too.”</span> You turn to call for another drink and then, recalling that you are not at some roadside tavern but on holy ground, you instead have Mikail fetch you a cup of water. <span class="mu-i">“I recognised your arms upon your arrival, the bear on a field of blue.”</span> Sir van Brooksvale continues, his brows furrowed in thought. While a guarded individual, your ineffable good cheer wears down his walls and in due course the two of you speak with familiarity and openness. <span class="mu-i">“I’m not blessed with a great memory, but don’t recall the chain partition at the vigil. Is that a recent affectation?”</span> [1/3]

<span class="mu-i">“Accomplished and observant.”</span> You raise your cup of water in a mock toast, done in good humour of course. <span class="mu-i">“But first let us hear of you. I’ve been here but five minutes and other worthy men present are all pressing for an account of the Battle of Brooksvale.”</span> While his preference for a lengthy steel warspear is certainly ill-befitting as a weapon for a proper knight, the story of his rise from commoner to knighthood is impressive enough to have you hold your tongue. The Dukes Aubres had set off with a small token force of the Royal Army to clear out a herd of beastmen that had settled further from the shaded glades of southern Fallavon than could be tolerated by any right-thinking man. As it turns out, they had severely underestimated the size of the encampment and swiftly found themselves on the defensive when the beastman warband rallied following their initial attack. Such was the panic that rippled through the Aubres ranks that even the Duke’s banner bearers were encircled and cut down, butchered hands still gripping their lord’s personal insignia. While Sir van Brooksvale does his utmost to downplay his part in the battle, others that have heard the story regale you with tales of a humble sergeant-at-arms who lead the rearguard action that allowed the Duke’s bodyguard to drag their leige’s half-conscious form from the battlefield. When reinforcements finally arrived hours later, they did not expect to find any survivors. Both of the Sir Cedrics were part of the relief force and they tell you of the sight they saw firsthand, of a bloody but defiant Mattis, the self-same sergeant that had led the forlorn charge, standing alone in a field of dozens of slain Foe with gore-stained spear in one hand and the Duke’s personal banner in the other. When the Duke returned to the field of Brooksvale, wounds bandaged and furious at having been forced against his will to abandon his own men to their doom, the nobleman knighted the survivor on the spot. Sir Mattis van Brooksvale, formerly merely Mattis, is silent during the telling of this remarkable knighthood on the field of battle, save to comment that he wept like a child at the time. [2/3]

Every day I must do my best to honour their memory and sacrifice.”</span> From the way the young knight talks, you surmise that he had made his peace with death that day. Perhaps he no longer views his life as his own to live, and he is quick to find an excuse to change the focus of the conversation back to you. <span class="mu-i">“But what of your own trials, Sir Andrei? I had heard something of your exploits with a dread creature on the Kingsroad ahead of us, but you must have quite a few tales of your own worth the telling since the Motte-Fallavon Festival.”</span> The young knight’s deference appears genuine rather than indulging, so you happily oblige as best you can. You are careful not to stray to arenas where your oath of secrecy might clash with your oath to never utter a falsehood. It’s hardly necessary, upon reflection your pilgrimage has been a lively endeavour indeed and by the end of eveningmass Sir van Brooksvale is much impressed with your achievements. ====================================================While Brother Jesaul got little attention, the Sir Cedrics were a close enough runner up to warrant another bite at the cherry.

We should take some time to process that fact, maybe IDFK what the Christian equivalent of meditation is, is it just prayer? Or like, a rosary thing? We should run through some fukkin' Pilgrimage rosaries.
Full disclosure, not 110% on what a rosary is. Like, an apologetic mantra you repeat to soothe yourself into accepting forgiveness? Whatevs. I'll look it up after this vote I'm sure the idea is gotten across.

Hmmm, I think the goal here is not to be too nosy. They already showed that they are unwilling to give a straight answer. Some good natured conversation could get them to open up, but I'll doubt we'll get the full story. Besides, they are from Fallavon, they surely heard of us trashing all those knights there. There could be some fine knightly banter there.

>>5560110 "There is not much I can talk since departing Fallavon; there's the basilisk that ambush me in the deeps of the forest. I barely have the notion of the creature aproching before it shattered my old sword and fix me with it's terrible eyes, it coiled around me and tried to drown me in a swallow river for what it felt like an eternity I could see air but not even reach it with me hands. The kill was not mine, and I'm only alive thanks to my companion, an archer of prodigious skill but somewhat strange matters. But it's fangs left me scars in the shoulder and it's skin is my under armour."

The Sir Cedrics are devoted to their King, as duty demands, and think his son and heir shows much promise. Disloyalty to either should be scorned, in their view. 0 = Insult to injury. Worse still, you managed to offer insult to one of the brothers which is as good as challenging both of them. Having a cartel issued against you by a Royal knight on your first night here was not what you imagined in the final chapter of your pilgrimage. 1 = Floundered conversation. Either you have very little in common with the two knights, or a series of awkward silences put paid to establishing any genuine connection over the course of a single evening. Eventually you make your excuses and go to bed. 2 = Good companionship. You are glad to have spent a little while longer exchanging stories with the twin knights. You get to know them a little better, and they you, and should meet again as friends if chance should will it. 3 = It is no small thing to ask one to put a promising career in the Royal Army on hold, even temporarily, but the Sir Cedrics assure you that should you ever find yourself in need and require their assistance they will be at the ready. Double Pass = Royal Army contacts. They’re always looking to recruit promising knights of your pedigree. Vancewell bonus. 3 rolls of 1d100. You have ONE Re-Roll. There is ONE Adverse Re-Roll. [1/2]

Depending on the degree of success, your suspicions may be entirely off the mark or wholly unfounded. 0 = Earnest pilgrims. The Sir Cedrics are clearly here to pay their respects to the holy site of Cantôn’s heritage, as good men of faith are want to do. You’re just imaging things, and end up talking a little too freely yourself. 1 = Fellow pilgrims. You might suspect there is some ulterior motive for their sudden decision to embark on this journey, but the nature of it escapes you. 2 = Cover story. The pilgrimage is not their only reason for coming here, perhaps not even the main one. While you might have some suspicion as to the nature of it, the details of any secret mission and who assigned it them remains a mystery. 3 = You can’t handle the truth. The revelation is shocking, enough for you to question the wisdom putting any of it in your letters home. Double Pass = Talkative twin.

As a reminder: 2 Successes + 1 Double Success for the Persuasion test. 1 Success + 1 Double Fail + 1 Double Success for the Intrigue Roll. The two doubles should ensure that Vancewell's bonus applies to both twins, so we can use that to somewhat counter the misleading nature of the intrigue's double failure.

Depending on the degree of success, your suspicions may be entirely off the mark or wholly unfounded.

With scant prospects of advancement in their homeland, the two set off on Errantry together and within a year found themselves enlisted in the Royal Army. As conversation turns to more recent events, the recent health of the King being one concern and the new dynamic of a second infant son another, the topic of their sudden pilgrimage comes up.

[2/2] You accept the evasion with good grace, electing not to press the issue and instead asking about their time in the King’s service. Although only a few years older than yourself, the two knights have distinguished themselves with several years’ service in that noble institution. To their chagrin they have not had the opportunity to prove themselves in a battle proper, having to suffice with smaller engagements during their patrols that range from a mere handful of opponents to skirmishes similar in size to your own battle on the Kingsroad, which they tell you had heard about. They seem eager enough to prove themselves somehow, and even go so far to say that if you had a mighty endeavour or terrible foe that required was beyond just yourself they would jump at the chance to assist you and bask together in the shared glory. You’re flattered that they respect your achievements to such an extent that they view you as the obvious choice in a leader of any such party, but there is something about their recounting of their time in the Royal Army and their high praise for the reforms and innovations championed by the Crown Prince as acting-Marshal that troubles you. You cannot in all honesty publically fault any man that claims to hold the Crown Prince in high regard, let alone a member of the Royal Army. The Crown Prince is the future King after all, even if what little you know about him and his associates gives you cause for concern. Admiration for the Prince is no crime, but at the end of the evening you also realise that the two have made no mention of their exploits since witnessing Sir van Brooksvale’s feat of arms and knighthood which was near a year ago. Perhaps nothing of note happened since then, or perhaps they are not at liberty to speak on it. A secret Royal mission is possible, but that would typically fall to the Reginate or the Roiguard if the King wished to keep the Queensmen out of it. Another explanation is that they were not acting for the Royal Army during that time. With a start you realise that you are thumbing the favour of the Lady Vancewell. ============================================ Why are the Sir Cedrics here on pilgrimage?

>>5562148 Well there is clearly some sort of Kingsman misson afoot and I likely suspect the prince is involved in some capacity since my own speculation is that he is the Duke of Aubres, our other friend Sir mattis is likely involved in some other capacity while the twins are more agent than asset.
I think we can group them in as faction agents within the royal army weither thats actually connected to the prince or even to Fallavon incident remains to be seen, their mission likely is either obfuscated by or involves the Dragons vizier in some capacity.
anything further is grasping at this stage since we lack wholly any better information.

If they are from the royal army they are very likely Kingsmen particularly if there is a connection between them and the Duke of Aubres since as forgotten covered here

>>5562146 They're here to buy a load of slaves on the cheap in bulk and to export them from Cathagi to Fallavon gaining renown for having "freed" the slaves while also in turn selling them to Fallavon nobility as serfs to work the land, returning their investment despite the distance and cost of transporting them back.
OR
They are seeking another SoS and there is likely one in Cathagi. Perhaps held by the Order of Broken Chains, or by the Dragon himself.
OR
They are actually counter-operatives and working to suppress the remaining SoS and are muddying the waters by professing to be admirers of the Prince.
I am honestly just taking this opportunity to come up with crazy theories.
Wait. Wait wait wait. They probably heard about the luxurious and highly desireable shells of the Turtlewolves that live along the coastline here and are meeting a local who can guide them to a private hunting spot. They have waited a year in Cathagi having missed the brief window of time last year where the Turtlewolves are active deeper in land to raise their cubs in relative safety for a few weeks while their shells develop and harden to protect them from the predators of the shallow coastal waters.

We can't forget that the faction was selling slaves through the Hewitt's, and Cathagi is a prime receiver for that kind of product. that partially works with the evidence we have of previous dealings between Cathaggi and the crown however unless the kingsmen are in a position to bargain with and play off the merchanta caste and Dragon court against each other I'm not entirely sure thats on point.

The faction heard the reginates were about to successfully imbed an operative in the dragons palace.

Their aim is to either flip the asset, subvert them or if all else fails expose them for political favors

>>5562148 Presuming that Vancewell's Favour isn't sending us on a wild chase and the twins are truly Faction members, who they were supposed to meet is somewhat easy to guess.
The King's Writ which allowed free passage to Militades and his cohort was signed by the Crown Prince (Thread #5), so there must have been some contact between them. Possibly, the Prince wanted to capitalize on the potential prestige the man would receive in Cathagi - which happened, as Militades and Eustace are celebrities with the Dragon's favour now (Thread #30). The two parties must have kept up contacts and the Cedrics had to either meet Militades/Eustace or one of their agents.
The reason why the Prince sought these allies still keep eluding us, but we can tie it up to what we found in Langland (Thread #29): Admiral Moretti and the Prince share a common goal, while many mercenaries are being bought for an operation eastward of Aubrey.
At first I thought the Prince wanted simple centralization but that seems at odds with the Admiral's goals, as it hardly benefits the Langlish: so, assuming that the Son of Sin with him is Avarice, what is going here is that the Son is influencing people in order to kickstart the greatest crusade ever known in either Ardenne or the Wastelands. At that point either everything crashes and burn horribly or the Prince is victorious but ultimately Avarice's puppet.

Sure, if Emile was a different character who had done different deeds and had different values and was completely fictional *that character* could have been convinced to accept the Prince's capital E Evil plot as necessary or that "the ends justified the means".
And if we had played maybe a Knight from Fallavon we would have been totally cool with slavery too. Note that the Hewitts DID in fact participate in the slave trade, the only issue is they got caught.

Unless, of course, you think Emile is going to start trading in slaves? Because I'm pretty sure nobody is going to go for that and a write in to do so would be shot down as extremely out of character.
Working with slavers, for specific goals and within limited boundaries on Emile's and his allies actions? Absofuckingloutely in character since it's happened before and Emile has established a history of flexibility when dealing with heretics, fae, and even beastmen.
We might not vote to do so, but it would not in any way be out of character.

Based on the above I’ll move forward on the assumption that Emile believes the Sir Cedrics to be here at the behest of the Faction rather than the King himself, more likely it’s the Crown Prince. The exact nature of their mission is unknown but Emile has narrowed it down somewhat to the distinct possibilities supported by anons. *Turnegan, 15th Day of Kostrimun, 883 A.C.E. – Morning – Church of the Holy Juvenesance* You wake bleary eyed and far from well rested, you had stayed up longer than intended last night and most of the other pilgrims seem to have already left their beds. But after washing your face the excitement of crossing the threshold of the Salve Sanctum builds. As you make your way from the living quarters through the halls of Church of Holy Juvenesance you hear the hubbub of voices up ahead. You wouldn’t call it a commotion, but there are clearly some words being exchanged between a large group of people at the entrance to the Salve Sanctum. Before you can see what all the fuss is about a knight in the white cloak of the Comitas bars the way. You do not recognise him, and he speaks no word other than to gesture for you to follow him. That is all very well, but when Mikail falls into step behind you the silent knight holds up his hand. Clearly you are expected to come alone. “Milord?” Your squire, loyal as always, looks to you for guidance. “Worry not, Mikail.” You suppress a smile at the thought of your apprentice defying the holy brothers in their own Chapter House for you, and instead regard the Comitas knight with curiosity. “I am sure I’ll not be long.” [1/3]

Many Comitas knights swear vows of poverty, chastity and silence, but the room is littered with curiosities and trinkets of indiscernible value. It hardly measures up to the extravagant wealth on display at the Cathedral of the Brother’s Landing in Pascae, but clearly the Chapter Master here has afforded himself some small comforts after a lifetime of service. The windows face out from the Church into the Nova Cathagi bay, just a greenish-blue blur at this distance, and the heat of the day is much dissipated by the sea breeze floating in through the translucent linen curtains. “Thank you Brother Kroger, you may return to your duties.” The silent knight bows deeply at the voice of Chapter Master Callahan, retreating as the old man sets down his quill on the parchment before him and bids you sit. “Sir Emile Andrei…” “Your holiness.” You bow respectfully, much at a loss as to what this is about. You’re find yourself having to step around one of the Chapter Master’s curiosities before taking your seat. A stuffed animal of a species that you cannot in all honestly properly describe, it has the proportions of a large dog but is shelled head-to-toe in some form of natural carapace. “I have received a highly unusual request from some of the pilgrims. They have pleaded that access to the Salve Sanctum be set aside for you alone today.” The Chapter Master watches you carefully, his grandfatherly demeanour taking a more severe turn as he notes your shocked reaction. “The Sanctum is where the first infant steps of our faith were taken, and I mean that quite literally. In my decades of service here, access to the Sanctum to outsiders has been restricted perhaps twice outside of our annual confirmation of the Comitas. My respect for any man who travels here on their own undertaking, noble or common, and I see no good reason to favour one pilgrim over another with sole access to the Sanctum. It is a highly unusual request, and not one that I was minded to grant despite the appeal of your confessor.” “I understand, your holiness.” You gulp, feeling a headache coming on. What has Father Towbray riled up now? “You must believe I had no idea…” “Yes, I believe you. But I am not finished.” Chapter Master Callahan holds up a hand as before you can speak further. “I have heard much of you since your arrival, not least of which being the account of your vigil at Brother’s Landing and this incident involving the storm. While at first it was mainly the pilgrim contingent you arrived with, quite a number of the other good souls here have heard the same stories and now wish you the same privileged access to the Sanctum. Some are merely curious, some eager and a few are… apprehensive, shall we say.” [2/3]

Beneath it dangling from a long thin silver chain is a censer, an incense burner that easily double as a mace. Finally, you glance sideways at the glass case on the Chapter Master’s desk, framed in what appears to be a solid gold reliquary. In it on a velvet cushion rests a single dark scale, roughly the size of a human hand. “I’m not asking you to confirm or deny the rumours, but suffice to say whether or not you intended it your arrival here has become a point of contention among many of the pilgrims.” The tone of the Chapter Master indicates that the pilgrims you arrived with are not barring other pilgrims access to the Sanctum, but you doubt he would have summonsed you if that was not a distinct possibility in his mind’s eye. “Differences of theology and personal are inevitable in a place like this, but my rule and my duty is that any such are laid to rest, or at least respected, before we embark on this Long Walk together. Wouldn’t you agree?” “Of course, your holiness.” Unlike Gilles de Moray, Tomas Callahan does not right now invite you to call him the lesser rank of ‘Brother’. =================================> “I’m honoured to be thought of so highly by my fellow pilgrims.

The angel speaks to us whenever and however it wants. It revealed itself to us during the Short Walk and no other soul was able to see it. We are all children of the Almighty; the Sanctum should be open to all.

Basically Haughty but instead of submitting to his authority we are asking for his guidance on what he would think best. Doesn't hurt if he explains a bit more about who/what these different factions are.
This also establishes a framework where he is working together with us to solve a problem, as opposed to being put on the spot to solve a problem caused by our presence.

Lol. If this write in gets any traction that is.

I think the Haughty option is likely to be a mistake. Our following very clearly wants us to commune alone in the sanctum, and if we appear to simply be acquiescing to the Chapter Master's authority, then Towbray and the others are going to view this as a Living Saint being snubbed and censored, which they won't respond well to. IMO, either we go along with this and reveal the existence of the Angel to the Chapter Master and try and convince him to let us commune in the sanctum alone, or we go and talk to our cult and get them to calm the fuck down by making it clear we personally disagree with what they're doing.

We have no need to chase revelation. Don't you remember that we met the Angel in what is probably the closest place to Hell on earth? We know it comes to us when the time is right.
I'd rather we give up on the Salve Sanctum completely, or yield it to the least faithful pauper among us. We have already been saved - we carry within us proof of God, always.
>>5563442 I'm not allowed to vote so don't count this, but something like this makes the most sense.
I also think we should confirm the rumors to him, or make a positive claim to hearing the voice of the Angel - and ask for his help and guidance as to what it might mean.

This could have an undesirable effect in the review of your case back home. 0 = False prophet. The Chapter Master holds the view that you are either blindly ignorant to your own delusions or worse, preying upon the faithful and leading them astray in the pursuit of setting up your own cult. It will take another attempt to convince him to let you in the Sanctum at all. 1 = Reason prevails. The Chapter Master requests, rather bluntly, that you are to talk Father Towbray and his followers down from their folly. A larger discourse is off the table, but he will talk to the pilgrims less amenable to your presence and ensure neutrality on this holy ground. 2 = Support appreciated. While he remains uncertain as to your true nature, the Chapter Master appreciates both your lack of selfishness in seeking Sanctum privileges and your genuine willingness to resolve the theological differences between the pilgrims bubbling to the surface. 3 = True son of Adam. In addition to being permitted to speak to the pilgrims en-masse in an attempt to defuse the situation, the Chapter Master is now himself more than halfway convinced of the truth of the rumours surrounding you. You can expect Comitas support throughout your stay in the City, so long as it does not jeopardise his charter. Double Pass = Order of Chains clue. Vancewell bonus. 3 rolls of 1d100.

At least one pilgrim views you with adamant hostility. 0 = Denounced. Accusations of false humility and apostate fly in your direction mid-speech, rabidly denied by your supporters. Despite your plea for reason and restraint, fists fly and the situation soon resorts to blows in this holy of holies as your followers rabidly come to your defence. 1 = Reclaimants rebuked. Your followers are shame-faced at the conclusion of your speech, aware that their attempt to help your divine mission has only caused division among the Almighty’s faithful. The other pilgrims for their part are satisfied 2 = Recognised wisdom. Both your followers and the other pilgrims are impressed with your earnestness and appeal to a higher goal. While there may still be some misgivings between individuals on matters of theology, both groups can at least agree that your heart is at least in the right place. 3 = The One True Faith. Cutting through the dividing issue at hand, the pilgrims are now more united in their shared faith than ever before.

You quicken your step, determined to intervene before this gets out of hand.
“And I say who are you to deny any man his right to pay homage as a Cantônian? His birthright!”
“This isn’t about you or I, this is about the will of the Almighty himself! Can you not spare yourself a single night at the footstep of the celestial even to further the divine mission? Are you that selfish?”
“What divine mission? All I hear is the half-baked ravings of that madman’s cult to keep the Sanctum to himself!”
“How -dare- you?!” That’s definitely Father Towbray’s voice, bubbling with ill-concealed rage. “I’ll hear not one word against him, not one word!“
“At best he is mad! Worse still he bewitches you and your cohort into damnation!”
“Blasphemer!” You’ve seen that look in the Reclaimant priest’s eyes before, that same righteous fury as when you set upon the brigands that had been waylaying pilgrim’s on the road from Fallavon. His clenched and raised to strike or grab at another pilgrim, presumably the naysayer in question, whilst behind him his followers press in at a crowd near twice their size.
“STOP!” Hands pause on thick-woven cords and fists halt-mid strike. Every pair of eyes, some fifty odd of them, turns to fix on you before a blow can be struck. “What is this?”
Silence.
“WHAT IS THIS?” You bellow, the crowd flinching at the echo of your voice, even the pair of Knights Comitas flanking you seem to shirk back. “Do we not stand on the very threshold of our most holy site? This is the birthplace of the Brothers, the liberators of our ancestors! And how do we honour them? With strife, with discontent. With… disunity.”
You shake your head, stepping forward into the crowd that parts like a shrinking tide until you stand in amongst the very centre of them. Your words turn from denuciation to appeal, imploring those present to see the light.
“My brothers. Are we a people so divided that even here, even -here-, in this holiest of holies our petty differences see us seek to set one man above the other? Kings may rule men, and common man toil for their noble lords. I am a knight, and well I know the duties and liberties that befit my rank. But these are all temporal titles, corporeal privileges that flee us at the hour of our death. Before God we are all brothers and sisters, there is no one that can be set above the other in that regard. This is not the way, this is not the One True Faith. At least here, if nowhere else in Almighty’s creation, we should stand united.”
Tempers cool and heads nod at your words, not a few of those from some of your moments ago would-be detractors.

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:vKCW/KlO Sun 12 Feb 2023 13:29:55 No. 5565603 Report [3/3] “But the Angel… we only thought…” Father Towbray’s thunderous expression has vanished, replaced by a white sheet. The man only just now seems to realise how close he came to shedding blood in this holy place. “Your mission! We were just trying to convincing them that if you were permitted even a little time alone in the Salve Sanctum, you might hear them again!” “The Almighty speaks to us when we need to hear it, whether alone or in a crowd. Whether in the holiest of sanctums, or surrounded by the Foe.” Your tone softens as your hand grips your confessor by the shoulder, reassuring rather than confronting. “You know this to be true, Father Towbray.” “I… oh no… oh Reginae have mercy on this wretched soul…” You can see the wiry priests hands trembling as he clutches the rough cloth around his chest. The man gazes at you in abject horror, tears misting his eyes at the very thought of how his ill-chosen actions might have had such terrible consequences. “I have failed you again.” “No, Father. Never. You alone have never doubted.” For some reason, the thought both comforts you and makes you a little sad. You could not for the life of you say why. “I know not where this path will lead, or even if I must one day walk it alone or fall by the wayside into death. But for now, let us walk it together no?” The man nods tearfully, weeping as he sinks to his knees and clutches your tabard as he mumbles in an ancient dialect. “Στο λάκκο της κόλασης, αν ρωτήσεις, Ζωντανή Αγία.” His devotion scares you… and the growing number of supporters he has garnered in your name cann no longer be ignored either. With the blessing of the Church or not, there are those that view you as far more than just a faithful knight, that you are in fact touched by the divine. You had no part in the naming of it, and in fact don’t entirely approve, but they call themselves… ================================ (1) The sect of pilgrims that believe Sir Andrei is on a holy mission and commanded by an Angel, or otherwise divinely guided, has grown.

Just like he discovered the various nefarious plots in Canton, just like he happened upon Abyssal's prison or he passed through a storm unscathed, perhaps this Sect is meant to act as a divine instrument. There is a rather concerning threat back at home, after all...
And besides, this is the more entertaining option.

>>5565609 > Sir Andrei is not disturbed by the followers identifying themselves as a separate sect of the One True Faith. The Angel will guide the way. [Promote Divine Mission] Now, I'm bit torn on this. On one hand, Emile has always been a good boy who follows the teachings of the church and he would definitely view sects and offshoots of the Church with some suspicion. But then again, he's utterly convinced in the visions of the Angel and if other men wish to follow the Angel the same way he does, who is he to bar them? So I would explain his thoughts less driven by the wish to form a sect and more a laissez faire stance that people have a right to believe in the shizo Angel.
I can smell the religious and dogmatic shitstorm a mile away and I do think Emile will continue to be disturbed by the fact people call him Living Saint. >>5534322 Me

[Promote Orthodoxy] We believe in the Angel and we believe the Angel believes in us, but men can be very fallible. We cannot stop them from revering us, but we at least need to tell Father Townbray that one man, even one that has lived thru such interesting events, is not sufficient cause to start shit with the rest of the Faith. If there is truth in our miracles, then they are part of the One True Faith. If one day there is enough evidence to justify a new sect...that will be one day, but not this day(unless we get a divine roll in the Holy of Holiees).
Also, tell Townbray to look at us. Really look at us. He may have been the first to see something special, but if we were chosen by the Angel, we were a MAN that was chosen. He should never think us fallible. We need him, not a lickspittle or mad attack dog, but as our confessor and even friend. I don't want him to leave us to become the loudest face in the mob.

[Promote Orthodoxy] It would behoove these pilgrims to maybe move away from being a Sect and become more like an Order. To find others who truly hear an Angel's voice. The Angel and Emile serve as messengers for the Almighty to exemplify the path of the faithful, to correct it, not destroy it. They do not deserve their own worship.

>>5566349 Yeah having an order after us would be dope but I suspect there would have to be a big commitment to the church which may trouble other ambitions Emille might get like getting married but we'll see what happens with the saint buisness.

>>5566369 >I want it to be within the faith not seperate to it. the thing is the specific dedication to one person (Emille) is the defining issue right now with the more mainstream orthodoxy who dislike the siphoning of the authority it can lead too.
Its why the sainthood is going to take more than a few years to figure out they are likely verifying that our goals and intentions align with the Regina and orthodox churches as much as the verascity of the visions themselves.

>>5566395 That's seperate to the church, a different though related question. Emile doesn't care what the church thinks about his visions and such but he does care about the faith and the principles of the Almighty, does that make sense? Like the faith and the church are not intrinsically linked due to the fallibility of man and his institutions so when they inevitably diverge from the faith on a matter due to temporal interests then he would disagree with the church.
Anonymous
>>5566405 Ironically enough your point hits upon the crux of the cults unorthodoxy, I suppose that just as Cain and Adam are not worshipped as divine beings so too must no man, the cult naturally sits uncomfortablly close to that distinction as we are seen as a conduit to the divine.
Funnily enough its curious that the Mater Reginae and Salve Regina have a very strong personal reverance that could be construed as worship of course such arguments are blasphemous at best and heretical at worst. >>5566410 >That's seperate to the church what is? because the appointment officially as a saint isn't.
>Emile doesn't care what the church thinks about his visions and such but he does care about the faith and the principles of the Almighty I suppose that depends on how you read him, he cared enough to engage the bishop at the ball in Pascae on the matter and the the matters of orthodoxy and heresy are close at mind when considering certain events.
You and I agree on the matter though and the principles of the Almighty and faith transcend obedience to falliable temporal authorities and institutions.

> ...he cared enough to engage the bishop at the ball in Pascae on the matter and the the matters of orthodoxy and heresy are close at mind when considering certain events. Of course, the church being fallible does not mean not respecting or considering it at all. It's simply that, when contradicting each other, the direct word of the Almighty's messenger supercedes that of any clergy.

My question to the anons voting Orthodoxy is that - what if the Church declares us a heretic and liar for claiming to have the Angel speak to us? We know that the Angel is the messenger of the Almighty! Surely if temporal authorities deny that then they are wrong and are no longer acting in accordance with the Almighty’s wishes and plans! Perhaps they fear a loss of status, power or wealth in this world and act against us out of a desire to merely protect themselves

>>5566561 >>My question to the anons voting Orthodoxy is that - what if the Church declares us a heretic and liar for claiming to have the Angel speak to us? We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, as it stands they haven't done that and I'm sure Emile believes they'll see the truth in his words. As a player I think they will, with all the stuff important people have seen us do, with how honestly and forthright we are and as long as we don't step too far out of line I think, eventually, we'll be considered a saint.
It's useful to the church to have a living saint to point at and have stand in front of crowds to get people hyped up for shit. Especially when that saint is on good terms with the Queens men. Especially when that saint knows the evil that exists in the world and has battled a SoS and knows that we must ALL band together or perish.
If they declare us a heretic... well things might change, but they haven't so lets not act in fear

Love the discussion here lads, I mean how many quests get anons talking theology and weighing up the risk of religious schisms? The lack of mud-slinging and toxicity from earlier threads is a great relief to see as well.>SELCTED: Sir Andrei does not approve of his followers identifying themselves as a separate sect of the One True Faith. Such sects can quickly skirt the line between unorthodoxy and heresy. [Promote Orthodoxy] I really dig the moniker 'Angelites' for the sect, whatever their official name eventually ends up being. I can see non-beleivers and believers alike referring to them as that, the former derogitarilty and the latter self-evidently because why wouldn't you support a man working for the angels? The Sect of the Divine Messenger is not bad for an official title , if the sect becomes that established in the future, but for now we will go with 'Angelite' as an off-hand phrase for those that beleive that Sir Andrei is guided by an Angel of the Almighty. There is at this stage no other real distinguishing feature between these beleivers and other faithful Cantonians, the distinction is a theological point and membership of the sect does not carry any unorthodox practices or traditions that might distinguish them from the larger groups. At this stage . For those interested, the Salve Sanctum is the first site of significance of four (4) stations on the Long Walk. ================================> You spend the rest of the day in prayer and meditation with the majority of the other pilgrims, reflecting on both your journey and the significance of the Salve Sanctum as the cradle of the One True Faith. It can be hard to entirely focus with so many other faithful whispering their own prayers, but your presence here at the end of the road is what matters. [Homage to the Salve Sanctum] > You spend the entirety of today and until the dawn of the next day in prayer and contemplation in this holy place. As the majority of other pilgrims head to their rest, you are virtually alone and able to slip deeper into prayer. The next day and the day after you also return, in shorter stints throughout your stay at the Church to reflect on the significance of this place, but you ensure that you are rested enough for the vigil ahead. [Contemplation at the Salve Sanctum] > Three days and three nights you spend deep in worship within the Salve Sanctum, taking no food and sipping only the odd cup of water brought to you by a vigiliant Comitas knight on duty. The soft noise of the visiting pilgrims fades into nothingness as the distractions of the present and material dissipate like shapes in a mist. You will have had no rest or respite by the dawn of the Long Walk this coming Sandag, nor time to address anything else that might be occuring in the outside world, but the nourishment of the soul comes before the needs of the body.

[Contemplation at the Salve Sanctum] Due to the vote reflecting multiple visits of less intense periods of reflection in the coming days, Sir Andrei will spend his time on the grounds of the Church itself. He is free to interact with other people present there, but going out into the city proper for a visit to the Athenaeum for example or some other endeavour prior to the vigil is likely out of the question. Sir Andrei will be exhausted tomorrow but will have fully recovered in time when the Long Walk gets underway on Sandag, barring any unexpected excitement. I’m working late nights this week, so my update schedule will be pretty spotty. My hope is to get right up to the eve of the of the Long Walk before I take next week of for some R&R. [1/2]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uj8h4SCsnE&t=33s&ab_channel=AdorationoftheCross – Salve Sanctum ThemeDO NOT ROLL UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THE BELOW IN FULL. This is no ordinary roll. Putting to one side the revelation of the Angel, this act of worship at the holiest site in the entirety of the Cantônian religion is perhaps the single most spiritually significant moment in Sir Emile Andrei’s entire life. It would be no different to, for example, a crusading knight in western Europe facing every peril and obstacle in their path before coming to the site of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection in Jerusalem, or a devout Muslim from another continent making a once in a lifetime pilgrimage to the Kaaba in Mecca.
To that end, there is NO LIMIT on rolls. ANY anon may roll, but each anon may only roll ONCE (noting that the Contemplation boon gives you all one re-roll each on your own first result, if you so choose). The DC is hidden, but I have written it down on my end and I will hold myself to that result.
When you roll, should you consider yourself worthy, you MUST provide a quote that might reflect either words spoken by Cain or Adam (please attribute it to one or the other) as a possible verse contained in the Book of Brothers. We will consider this Emile’s reflection on the verses of the Book of Brothers and wisdom contained therein during his homage in this holy place. My preference is a quotable single sentence of your own making rather than whole paragraphs or digging up stuff from the archives, but you do you.

>>5571941 There are, much like the 'Love is a Battlefield' treatsie on chivalric courtship. While Emile is not the most academic noble around, he'd be aware of some of these regarding the chivalric concepts. While reasonable minds might differ on the subject, the general concensus in such circles is staunchly against loopholes and the like.
It is much more chivalric to comply with the spirit of the code than the letter, especially where there is an easy out available.
The more Machievellian-esque works would be known by the Crown Prince and to some extent the females of your household, and such works even blatantly discuss using chivalry as a tool where the lack of common sense might disadvantage an opponent. The greatest of these are an anthology of memoirs from the Generalis Rex, the lineage of generals that evenatually solidified a Cantonian state following the colonisation by the Brothers generations prior to that.

Perhaps the very place where they were born. The Church of the Holy Juvenescence was constructed over this site, the cradle of the One True Faith nestled beneath its very foundations. The stairs leading down to the Sanctum are lined with statues and engravings of the pilgrims and crusaders that have come here before, some beautifully carved statues of severe looking men whose names you don’t recognised to stretches of makeshift notches denoting the passing of every soldier in the Crusades Adamant that liberated this holy ground after years of bloody conflict. The great works catch your eye in the torchlight, enticing in their artistry and humbling in their age. But there is no ostentation or marking beyond the final downwards step, no tapestry or soft cloth that marks the threshold into the Sanctum itself.

You remove your sandals, stepping barefoot across the threshold onto holy ground. You cannot help but shiver, the thought ‘At long last’ crossing your mind as you reach the final destination of your pilgrimage and the beginning of the Long Walk. The stone is cool on your bare feet, and you feel that the air would be cooler if not for the mass of fellow pilgrims and hundreds of burning candles that occupy every alcove and flat surface. The hundreds of burning candles are outnumbered by far in the thousands of long burn out waxen remains of those that came before. No psalms are sung in this sacred place, lips move in silence as each pilgrim wanders the halls in their own time and in their own place. It is not a large place, a handful of rooms that overall encompass an area no wider than a humble farmstead. Down the hall at the end a single hooded Comitas knight stands watch, proof against desecration or blasphemy by any that have come here with wicked intent.
There is no tapestry or engraved image here, the stone is smooth from the touch of a thousand thousand passing pilgrims from the ages that came before. As you slowly wander from one room to the next you reach out a tentative hand to touch the wall yourself, perhaps your finger strokes against the very same section of wall that your grandfather touched more than a generation ago on his pilgrimage. It is as though you can feel the hand of your ancestor on your very shoulder, grandfather smiling down at you, and that of his ancestors before him… It is electric, and a part of you is reminded of the Angel’s touch during your vigil at the Brother’s Landing. You feel that in some not insignificant way, you have honoured the memory of your forefathers by coming here.
No golden altar or magnified idol is needed here, this place is holy enough as it is. Here, right -here- is where the Brothers lived, laughed and played. You look down at your own bare foot on the cold worn stone, taking a half-step back and fighting back tears as you imagine the child-sized foot or Adam or Cain walking this very place. Stepping in that very -spot-. Eight hundred, no, nine hundred years later and here you are walking in the shadows of their steps. The men that would topple a tyranny and lead your ancestors to a new world, a better world.
You sink to your knees, your right hand gripping your left below the fist at the wrist painfully tight in the sign of the One True Faith, and you begin to pray.

In time, as the seconds drawn into minutes and the minutes into hours, you become lost within yourself. You could not say whether it is day or night as time marches on, but even in the quietest hours you are not alone. The hooded Comitas remains at his post, if he has been relieved you’ve not realised it, but other devout pilgrims remain. A group of the strange southern men are gathered in a circle in the corner, reading the same verse together in silence in the dim candlelight. Another set of pilgrims do not pray as most do, instead pressing their foreheads against the wall and whispering into the stone. Harmless, but enough to distract you until they are gone. There are distractions yes, the shuffle of the crowd behind you, a soreness in the knees or the solitary cough of a pilgrim somewhere in the halls, but so deeply absorbed in prayer and thought are you that these fall to the wayside as your vigil goes on. For the most part, so far as you are concerned, the entirety of the outside world removed from this scene of holy creation may as well not exist. Adam and Cain were outspoken against the cruelties of the City and the mistreatment of the vast multitudes of slaves even before the Almighty revealed himself, so much so that it led to their exile from the City. Salve Reginae was imprisoned in the dungeons of the Crescent Palace when she refused to betray them, weeping as one loyal friend and follower to the brothers after another was gruesomely and publicly executed before her very eyes. That was only the beginning of her suffering. But here, in these hallowed halls, they were happy years. While apparently not slaves themselves, the Faith teaches that the Brothers were humble in their origins. Perhaps they were descended from slaves, their freedom recently bought, or resting somewhere solidly in the lower to middle class of freemen in the City. Certainly there is no mention of their father, and even on a widow’s stipend or income from some family business these meagre means would have led to a life of privation and scarcity for the holy mother. It was not an upbringing of luxury, food was plain and soft comforts were few. But here, in these hallowed halls, they were content. The conflicts that preceded the great liberation of Cathagi’s masses, the wars that followed the brothers arrival on the shores of Cantôn, the undoing of Adam’s works and Cain’s never-ending crusade. According to scripture, Adam always abhorred the evils of war other than as a last resort. Perhaps even Cain was weary of battle by the end, who could say? War and bloodshed, however just and necessary it may be, would follow the Brothers in one form or another to the end of their days. But here, in these hallowed halls, there was peace. [3/4]

>>5573720 (1) Path of Adam boon: Select ONE
>Lawgiver: +1 Re-Roll to any tests involving trials (combat or legal) This is a hard one, I feel our AV is already pretty good especially if we use the maneuver that doubles it so that isn't critical. The chance to restore 1 level of health to a Companion could be huge, but doesn't come up super often and when it does we've usually got a lot of chaff on hand to tank with.
I think the Lawgiver is the most versatile and will come up when we most seriously need extra rolls, trials. Trial by combat for our own life or that of a companion, a trial of law where monsters need to be stopped. These are critical moments where we'll need more help
(2) Contemplation at the Church of the Holy Juvenescence: What does Sir Andrei do in his time there before the Long Walk in two days time?
>Emile uses his own money and resources to aid in the healing of the sick and wounded with Sister Ignatius. Doing what little he can and providing what aid she requests, applying salves and ointments, bandages and cleaning the filth from wounds and in doing so cleaning his soul in preparation for the Long Walk. Emile has spent a great deal of time lately focusing on the Cain aligned faction of the faith. Perhaps, before the Long Walk, he could spend some time humbling himself and giving back more directly under the guidance of Sister Ignatius and get more in touch with the Adam side of things, finding balance.

>Benediction: Restore +1 wellbeing of a Companion, once per combat. Restoring health is an amazing boon and while I understand why people might want lawgiver I'm not sure in the foreseeable future if we'll have an opportunity to use it often if at all, if we stay in Cathaggi the despotic will of the dragon will trump legalism and if we go back to Canton unless we pursue the Praetors with gusto it's going to possibly hit and miss.
Martyr is halfway between overkill and the cream of the crop since it takes us to 74AV at wounded out of a max of 80 if we take the cautious stance in a fight which means even in a bad spot we don't need to turtle as much to avoid game over.
(2) Contemplation at the Church of the Holy Juvenescence
I am going to suggest seeing the markets but not specifically the slave markets which we could likely just blunder into, after seeing the market I can see either a lot of contemplation around the faction conspiracy, the thirteen passages and Sanguine or a more active effort to understand what the faith has to work against here as well as talking to Orin because holy shit is that lad not a lynch pin to the operation in Fallavons backers if not masterminds and if Lawgiver wins I can see the lingering inconclusive investigation weighing on him.
Maybe also writing farwell to Daubney letting her know we arrived safely and this will be the end of our correspondence, I'd add more but its likely already enough of a faux pas.
>>5573747 >Emile has spent a great deal of time lately focusing on the Cain aligned faction of the faith. The Adam alignment is the stronger side in Emile and has been the more prevelant choice compared to Cain.

>>5573809 >The Adam alignment is the stronger side in Emile and has been the more prevelant choice compared to Cain. In general yes, but not so much during the recent journey. We have a Cain aligned confessor, we've had to make multiple confessions in recent history due to our anger and pushing too far in honourable combat.
To your point though, we've gained several steps on the Path of Adam and in a recent argument between Sister Ignatius and Father Towbray we sided with the good sister. Given that recent argument for kindliness is a saintly virtue and given how many steps on the Path of Adam we've gained in this place, it stands to reason that Emile would see the virtue in helping the Sister aiding the wounded, sick and poor before the biggest spiritual undertaking of his life.
To me anyway
Anonymous
>>5573816 Frankly I gotta a disagree, any cain aligned action has been strongly mollified by the general Adamite trend to Emille's decisions, there's a strong disinterest in hostility of any kind (albeit for obvious reasons) that isn't mild disgust at the unpious or inappropriate.
>We have a Cain aligned confessor We have a Cain aligned confessor because he was the orthodox choice and sister Ignatius was not even for Romanie and confession is expected regardless of alignment as for our ''recent'' history that was at least a few months back now in Pascae.

Also, we ain't wealthy nor are we skilled as a healer. Also, we just spent a whole 24 hours in a fugue state preparing ourselves spiritually and we advanced along the Path of Adam, not Cain.The points don't lie.
Instead of wasting our meagre funds and limited time in the vanity of pretending to be humble (which Emile explicitly isn't, it's Haughty, Hearty, and Idealistic) we should instead, say,
> Drag the righteousness of our cause along with us to the Stratioski and trade on our favor with Patrikas Ianthe and ask them to aid us in acquiring supplies for the pilgrims in bulk and hopefully at cost as it is for a noble cause. Like. They're literally the clerks and information brokers in Cathag. They're definitely the best resource we have to spend instead of our lacking funds and lacking skills.
That way we don't pay the mark up for buying them from smaller retailers, as well as letting us avoid further costs associated with being Knights and Pilgrims trying to negotiate with Merchants in the City of Merchants let alone the fact that we're foreigners from the nation most strongly ideologically divergent from them while being close enough in distance, strength, and having a *history* between the two cultures/nations.
At the worst, we'll critfail and offend them to the point that they do the bare minimum for the Pilgrims and get us the supplies, if only to get us out of the City faster.
But if things go well, we can maybe even get their aid in raising MORE funds while we're here. Surely there's some sort of problem we could help them with, or we could convince them to invest in us. Eveaan if we don't do a good job of convincing them that we are able to provide useful services or are worth investing in to develop an alliance, we can mortgage a loan against our position as the second son of House Andre, or our Writ of joining the DG being a guarantee that if we find ourselves unable to repay a loan we have that option to make a bunch of wealth.
There's also the Militares Cohort as well, if things go REALLY wrong. It's also unlikely that we'll offend them by approaching the Stratioski in this case either since it's a) not for ourselves, and b) for something that's their area of expertise anyways.
If you REALLY want to get all Adam on this, reaching out and appealing to the common humanity that transcends our nations and historical conflicts for a righteous cause is far more in line with that.
> When Adam saw the suffering of the people, he didn't tend to their wounds directly. Wielding the Blade and the Book beside his brother, he struck out at the source of suffering directly. Heck, if things go well with the Stratioski, they could probably even hook us up with some local physicians to care for the wounded along with Sister Ignatius.

also like we should've learned in Pascae we should be very strategic when dealing with the rich & powerful, it was hard enough trying to deal with our own homeland let alone a foreign enviroment.

>Emile ponders. He ponders the many things he saw during his travel, both good and evil. He ponders the time when he discovered the dark truth of the Sons of Sins. What do they mean for him, his people and his faith? He remembers the doubt he felt in the moment of truth. But it's no coincidence that the Angel appeared when he was the most doubtful, locked in mortal combat with one of the abominations. It's his Holy Mission to find out about them and resist them. And perhaps, face the sins of his ancestors. But it wasn't only evil he found, for he found believers from all parts of the world. The Langlish man who called him fratello in the small church, the men who touch their head on the holy walls and the dark-skinned travellers from the South. Wouldn't it be prudent to ask who they are and how the One True Faith reached them? Ask them how they pray, how they worship? Isn't it a miracle of the Almighty, that, if he ever found himself in a strange foreign land, a strange foreign man could come to his aid, bearing the Word of Adam and the Sword of Cain? While I do like the option of us helping the downtrodden of the city with Sister Ignatius, I'm simply too curious about Emile's state of mind after everything he witnessed, His resolve and his curiosity. And he way always a haughty lad, who I think sees himself more as the shield who protects the needy than the healing arm which feeds them. But I won't begrudge it if it wins.

I think it would be a good idea to at least properly introduce ourselves to many of the pilgrims that we did not escort to Cathagi that are taking the Long Walk with us. The only exposure all of them have of us is the way Father Towbray exulted our virtues and our speech to the assembled after they all nearly came to blows. Let them know the man, not the legend.

I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say the presence of the voidborn smugglers will be a polarising issue in the rebel camps.

>>5578473 I actually love that. Make an oath at the end of the Long Walk to reclaim our homeland and push out the Deadman. A good old Crusade Adamant

>>5578611 Man the smugglers are a great opportunity to bring the companies involvement into the light in the worst way. Still hoping we can inflict some more vietcong trauma though since its always fun.
>>5578833 I personally think an intermediate oath would be better (marrying vancewell/not repeating Broulert) but its a great endgoal.

>>5578473 Small steps, instead of jumping the gun on restoring Ardenne as a whole we should begin by leading an expedition into the old Andrei lands, recover some lost heirlooms and put a few curse ancestors and retainers to final rest. Give us an idea of what would it take to reclaim a piece of land from the Deadman.
