<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…

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:DzQ9DZeK Mon 03 Apr 2023 12:27:37 No. 5625418 Report Quoted By:
>SELECTED: Young Lady Frida Vancewell, the cunning viper of Montbrun <span class="mu-s">Fenegan, 16th Day of Kostrimun, 883 A.C.E. – Montbrun – Castle Vance</span> Far from the usual trappings of furs, beast skulls and other barbarous fancies favoured by the less developed nobles of the mountains, The great hall of Castle Vance was adorned with fine tapestries and curtains much in keeping with those houses that appreciated the arts that the great Court of the realm boasted. The hall was well lit, servants streaming to and fro to keep the torches burning and add to the table bedecked with an array of delicious plates that could feed a dozen men. Despite this, only two sat there, an elderly man and a young woman. The wizened Lord Vancewell picked at his food, scowling occasionally at some slight not yet addressed or some wrong not yet avenged. As for the pale young thing, her food remained untouched. Frida’s attention elsewhere, absentmindedly turning the dirk over in her other hand as she examined its every aspect. The blade was needle thin, closer to a letter opener than a weapon, but still very fine work. A side-project of some master-smith, perhaps. Her eyes moved up the blade balanced neatly between two long fingers, delicate and manicured, to the ivory handle twirling upwards into two entwined swans that formed the bejewelled hilt. Between the two swans the shine of a small ruby, tiny even, glittered like a shiny rock at the bottom of a deep pond. As the heiress to Lord Lukas Vancewell’s fortune, inheritor of a great house favoured by Duke and Royal both, Young Lady Frida Vancewell had been showered with gifts since she was even close to the eligible marrying age. Beautiful riding horses, extravagant dresses, dazzling jewelry all from the many eager families of those suitors that sought her hand. In terms of value, or suitability for a noble lady, this token hardly compared. But no one had ever gifted her a dagger before. She found that fact gave her a lot to think about. <span class="mu-i">“You shouldn’t play with knives at the dinner table, my sweet.”</span> Lord Vancewell grunted between mouthfuls of roasted chicken. [1/3]

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:DzQ9DZeK Mon 03 Apr 2023 12:29:32 No. 5625420 Report <span class="mu-i">“Yes, daddy.”</span> Frida pouted absentmindedly, puffing her cheeks as she slouched back in her chair. The dirk now rested in her palm, perfectly balanced. <span class="mu-i"> “I was just waiting for the sweet Lady Vancewell to join us. Isn’t she coming to dinner?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“She is feeling unwell again.”</span> Lord Vancewell huffed, wiping his mouth. <span class="mu-i">“Damn woman still hasn’t adjusted to the mountain cold since she first got her.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Oh that is a shame.”</span> Frida hardly needed to act nonchalant, she really had more important schemes to care about than the fate of daddy’s third wife. <span class="mu-i">“I do so enjoy hearing about her embroidery.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“That makes one of us.”</span> Lord Vancewell paused, sparing the dirk in his daughter’s hand more than a passing glance for the first time. <span class="mu-i">“Where did you get that anyway? I don’t think it’s one of mine.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“It was a gift, daddy.”</span> Frida looked at her father indulgently, each bat of the eyelash a calculated decision. <span class="mu-i">“A gift?”</span> Lord Vancewell’s eye twitched as his neck swivelled in her direction, tone turning incredulous as he rose from his seat. <span class="mu-i"> “You mean a threat?! Someone threatens MY daughter!?!”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Hm.”</span> For a moment, Frida considered the utility of misdirecting her father’s rage to someone that suited her. But the moment passed, too many disadvantages to play the lie that way. This time, at least. <span class="mu-i">“It’s not like that, daddy. It’s a gift from a boy.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Well…good.”</span> Lord Vancewell seemed somewhat deflated as he sat back down. Frida knew, better than him even, that the man was never happier than when finding new enemies. Except perhaps when doing away with old ones. Everyone needs a hobby, Frida supposed. <span class="mu-i">“Yes, very good. Well, just remember what a told you. Keep them playing against each other, driving the price up. My daughter will have the pick of the litter, I don’t doubt. And House Vancewell will net the rewards in full.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Of course, daddy. And then your son…”</span> Frida nodded along, she had heard all this before. Since the death of her brother she had never been in higher demand, and Lord Vancewell was convinced he was going to have another heir soon enough. [2/3]

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:DzQ9DZeK Mon 03 Apr 2023 12:33:24 No. 5625421 Report [3/3] Their title lands may be relatively middling, but the House Vancewell network of influence was cast wide and needed constant attention. There were plots and networks and alliances and secret deals to be made and maintained. Since the death of Hast, Frida was the primary proponent of that web outside of her father. She most certainly liked that, and was getting better at it every day. She’d been better at it even when her boorish sibling had been ostensibly in charge. Her mind strayed back to her new toy, and the secret letter that had accompanied it. The dirk was far from the kingliest token of affection she had received from a would-be suitor, even in the last few months. But still her eyes went back to the fine blade, the ivory handle, the bejewelled hilt. Like the boy it came from, it was hardly worth her attention. It really was quite pretty though… ======================================>Even a rock-for-brains Rabe could see that the Duke Montbrun would be calling the banners in a few month’s time. Shoring up alliances with friends and vassals closer to home, ensuring Vancewell forces were equipped and ready to marshal at a moment’s notice. And positioned to take advantage of however the upcoming campaign went. Tedious and tawdry work for now, but necessary. [Montbrun Court] >The next few months will prove to be as predictable as they will be dull. Lord Vancewell and his Duke can keep themselves distracted with this border war. No, the real movers and players are busy jostling and manoeuvring at the only Court that matters. Little matter how well the game is played, if the field be modest and the prize humble. The network of alliances there must be maintained, and expanded on, even if war threatens. Especially then. [Royal Court] >A tour at various families, affiliates and trade partners across the other duchies is the sensible middle ground. Pascae, a political charnel house, De Ver and other minor houses would cling to the relative safety of any larger house making their protection known. Fallavon, a visit to her ailing suitor the Marquis and either encourage his interest or let him down gently depending on the advantages to be had. Not to mention Romaine, there now being a certain minor house in impoverished realm that held her interest. [Duchy Courts]

I'll be honest bros I'm not really digging the vancewell romance. I'm not going to sperg on about 'muh andreis roleplay' but I liked the daubney girl a lot more. and having the vancewells keep their raging hate boner for us wouldve been much more fun. oh well, it is what it is.
maybe we'll find another option in carthagi, tall athletic warrior woman sounds nice.

Vancewell we danced with politically a few times, got a deeper understanding of and wowed her on the dance floor and in the bed room. We've exchanged letters and all that.

But still they come, the paupers, the street waifs and the discarded slaves. All of them too frail, or ill, or wounded to fetch a spare sequin or two in the flesh markets or even keep around on the off-chance they recover to resume work. And it is not like this side-chapel of the holy church has much to offer in the way of medicine and aid either. Supplies are in constant shortage, always, and are viciously rationed by the sisters for those whom it make a bit of difference. The best the majority can hope for is a shelter in this stinking hot room, a meal in the form of watered down gruel and a dry-eyed sister to speak a prayer over their expired body. Not that they even believe in your God, but it must beat dying in an alleyway somewhere around the corner. And it is not such a bad thing if a pretty foreign witch casts a spell on you or whatever they believe goes on here. All this misery you have seen in the single day. At least the sisters will have clean bandages today and tomorrow thanks to your recent contribution, but by Salve Reginae’s holy wounds you regret your offer of aiding personally following your latest visit to the Sanctum. <span class="mu-i">“Cain on the Cross.”</span> You gag, flinching at the sight of the good sister drawing puss from the enormous growth on a boy’s forehead the size of a juggler’s ball. The sickly yellow colour, laced with that thin stream of blood… <span class="mu-i"> “Oh Godsgrace, I think I’m going to be sick…”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Gird your loins and pass that ointment, sir knight. ”</span> The sister’s voice is business like, a reprimand even, but she is all focused on the ails of the next patient rather than your own squeamishness. <span class="mu-i">“Mine own eyes have borne witness to you running at an undead abomination in the dead of a dark forest night with nought but some attitude and an unruly horse. This battlefield hardly compares. Sister Genevieve, take over for me while I fetch fresh bedsheets.”</span> While you don’t consider yourself anymore morbid than the average Romani, you have had cause to dwell on what fate you’d prefer if choice could ever be a factor. It’s not being eaten alive by a monster, or bleeding out slowly from a wound to the gut on the battlefield. It’s not Not anymore, Saints, no. Not anymore. It is dying in a Pit of a place like this, too weak to even feed yourself as you lie wallowing in your own filth. [2/3]

And a very sharp knife. You see the restrained man’s infected broken arm, rotten through with gangrene, and put two and two together. You baulk, taken aback by yet another new horror.

Not sure where babies or sainthood would land theoretically, babies probably as a matter of securing the succession early on though.

[Hearty] But specifically with the rider that Emile isn't stoically powering through it with a heroic countenance, he very clearly is doing this with watery eyes while hovering on the verge of vomiting. Emile has shown quite a bit of willpower, but doing this kind of work is a new and unpleasant experience for him that he's having a hard time dealing with.

>>5627589 Yeah feels like this makes sense. Idealist doesn't make much sense to me. Like Emile himself realised there are others a lot more competent than him at this, and there are a lot with the required skills and aptitude who can learn. Meanwhile the Emile is among a very small group uniquely who are uniquely qualified and able to learn the required skills for being a preator, and even more importantly he is among an even smaller group of individuals actually willing to do the work. If Pascae is anything to go by it's a field that is severely understaffed. Which the healers also are but they have a much bigger recruitment pool.

His thrashing becomes wild and stronger than any wounded man has a right to be, the sight of the knife giving the patient a sudden burst of instinctual vitality. Your breath comes sharp and ragged, it takes more strength than you realised to hold the screaming man down. You can hear the wet slap of flesh, meat hitting the table, the sound of cutting bone. It is not a fast process, and there is not much in the way of anaesthetic to be found here. <span class="mu-i">“Angel grant me strength…”</span> You close your eyes and grit your teeth, clamping down on the man’s ruined arm as the butchering work is done. Your sympathy takes a perverse turn to hate, hate at the man’s pain and his wailing. Your fingers tighten, imagining them around this poor, damned slave bastard’s neck. Cain on the Cross at least then the screaming would stop! The worst part was the pleading in his eyes, the babbling foreign cries of frantic desperation. Although he mercifully passes out before the grisly work is halfway done, you know that the man could not understand why this was being done to him. He probably came here for medicine, not realising the infection was too far gone. Not realising that he would walk away a one-armed slave. If he walks away at all. <span class="mu-i">“Will he live?”</span> You look up from place on your knees once the work is done, wiping vomit from your mouth once you’re done retching. You taste iron on your lips where the back of your hand passes, it nearly sends you throwing up again. <span class="mu-i">“He has lost a lot of blood.”</span> Sister Genevieve replies, wrapping the massacred limb tight. You’ve seen stronger, haler men succumb to wounds far less grievous than this. <span class="mu-i">“By morning we will know. All we can do now is pray.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“I....”</span> You don’t know why you began to hate a man whose only crime was to suffer. Why was anger your response? You shake your head. Another confession for Towbray in due course. <span class="mu-i">“Pray. Of course.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“You’ve done enough, sir knight.”</span> Sister Genevieve hands you a towel, wet and steaming warm. <span class="mu-i">“Enough?”</span> You look around at the room, so much condensed suffering piled into such close quarters.

It would suck to see him go, but it seems unfair to force him to stay with us here for 2 years.

Besides if we actually offered for him to go home, does anyone really think he'd go? He'd be outraged and hurt I think

On the subject of knighting Mikail, I think it's far too early. Squiring usually took a few years historically speaking, and we've only been erranting with the lad for a few months. Compare Mikail to Sir dan Marc, a relatively novice and inexperienced knight. As great as Mikail is, I'd wager he's likely inferior to dan Marc in affairs of Martial, Academic and Courtly. And dan Marc himself has insecurities around his own readiness and knightly status. If we knighted Mikail prematurely, we'd merely be setting him up for hardship and self-doubt. Plus, consider that we'd need a new squire anyway, and we'd struggle to view them as anything other than 'Mikail's replacement' (and before anons say Orin, as dependable as the lad is, remember the setting; it would raise many eyebrows in a feudal society elevating a former criminal to a squire, especially so soon after his emancipation. This isn't Pascae after all!)

I forgot about the time dilation. with that in mind, I agree that it's way to early to knight the lad. But I do think offering him to try for the Roiguard while we guard the dragon should at least be brought up, whilst makeing it clear that we would miss him and that he would still be very welcome to stay with us. To top it off the 2 years would probably be the time in our life where we would be able to devote the largest amount of time and effort to training a squire, especially one who already has the real world experiences Mikhail has. In addition knowledge of a foreign court, language and costumes are sure to be a big feather in your cap when applying for position in the royal court.

Strange thought perhaps I was taken by a fae mood when questing but I think we should start to hunt some of the rare game of Cathagi. They should have a lot of rare game because it's a large country, so we should go out and nab some good stuff and maybe trophies to bring back home to elevate our wealth and the status of our family. We could be the hunting family of the nobles of Canton and decorate our royal halls with prize game from the wilds of the Cathagi.

Impressing upon the young boy the importance of the Faith, and the sacrifices a knight must make in defence of it, is as crucial as any lesson in swordplay. [Mikail] Mikail, your loyal squire and sole companion from your homeland in the territory of House Andrei. He knows some of his letters, but reading is a stretch of yet. The boy is as stubborn as an ox, and about as tough as one too for someone his age. He was a stocky enough runt when you first took him on, but this journey has left him with a lithe body and you don’t doubt he still has another growth spurt or two left in him before he’s fully matured. His dedication to his martial training is also admirable, not so different from yourself as boy in the tiltyard under the watchful eyes of the Sergeants-at-Arms. Your daily spars with Mikail, initially a chore, are now invigorating. You still thoroughly outclass him, but you actually have to pay attention these days lest he get the better of you. Very impressive for a young farm boy from the outskirts of a small hamlet called Andryski. It is a shame the zeal with which he has thrown himself into his martial exercise has not carried over to his other areas of training. While his exposure to various courtly situations in your presence during the last few months means he’s unlikely to be an embarrassment, he isn’t exactly a handy asset either. He has a long way ahead of him before he can truly assist you in negotiations and presenting before others, but for now his progress is adequate. The same cannot be said for his education. Despite months of intermitted reading sessions from his favourite book about the Roiguard, the boy is quite frankly illiterate. You had hoped that the erudition of the sisters would rub off on him during the pilgrimage, but the nuns are not his nursemaids nor are they proper tutors. He is at least able to recite most of the Cantǒnian alphabet now, but stringing them together in words other than anything he has learnt by rote is a vain effort. The trials involved in any aspirant for the King’s Own will take more than just a handy blade. As a commoner, short of some exemplary feat in the presence of a Duke or the King himself, the Roiguard remains the rare instrument of social advancement for the boy to knighthood proper. Not that Mikail would want anything else, you suspect he’d desire to join the ranks of his Roiguard heroes even if his blood were noble. Enthusiasm will not get him all the way there, but you do not necessarily despair of the boy’s chances. He just needs a little time. And a lot of work. [1/3]

It is a beautiful Cathagi sunset that casts long, languid shadows in the garden of the Church of the Holy Juvenescence. The air is pleasant, the heat of the day dissipating and a cool breeze from the sea the sets the trees in the garden softly swaying. Tomorrow is the last day of rest before the Long Walk and from here, gazing out of the city from the eastern wing battlements of the Church compound, the great City looks almost peaceful. <span class="mu-i">“You know Mikail, this long journey to see each of the holy sites has been my own quest.”</span> The boy looks up, hand paused mid-polish on your masterwork helm. <span class="mu-i">“But we cannot forget that this is your pilgrimage too.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“My pilgrimage, m’lord?”</span> The young boy from Andryski gives you a befuddled look. <span class="mu-i">“But you stood all the toughest vigils. I’m just the squire.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“And yet, you were nonetheless present at each of them. Hmm?”</span> You gesture for Mikail to set the helmet aside and scooch over, joining him on the bench. <span class="mu-i">“The qualities you have demonstrated thus far would put many a squire to shame. And there is no disgrace in standing a lesser vigil, it is the journey itself that matters. Still, perhaps it is a journey you wish to undertake again once you are a knight in your own right.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Sire?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“What is it?”</span> You turn your head askance at the boy’s tone. <span class="mu-i">“Did I misspeak?”</span> [2/3]

His face scrunches up and he turns aside, not holding your gaze. <span class="mu-i">"Proper like, I mean. Like it was actually gonna happen.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Well… not that it will be easy...”</span> You cough awkwardly and turn away, giving the boy a chance to sniff and regain his composure. <span class="mu-i">“You do -want- to be a knight, don’t you Mikail?”</span> <span class="mu-i">“More than anything in the world, my lord.”</span> There it is, in the voice, that stubborn determination. He’ll go far on that, you don’t doubt. <span class="mu-i">“Good. Not much point in keeping a squire that wanted otherwise around.”</span> Your smile is wide and genuine, it doesn’t take long for your squire to return it. <span class="mu-i">“We can start with your next lesson then…”</span> =========================================> “A knight is a warrior, even when that warrior is in a garden. Appreciate the peace of this calm oasis, yes. But let not tranquillity dull your blade, my young squire. That is a sin that those who aspire to knighthood can ill-afford. Steel your body and mind now, in these times of quiet, so neither will falter when the battlefield finds you.” Mikail is motivated to intensify his training regimen with your help during his time amongst the Knights Comitas stationed here.

[Hearty] > Mikail gains the WORDLY trait. He is more adept at handling his own in one-on-one conversations with boys his age and taking social cues where men of seniority are speaking, provided the formality of an event or the difference in rank doesn’t overwhelm him. Girls is another issue altogether, but that’s hardly surprising for an adolescent male. As an interesting aside, for the first time Mikail also has thoughts about what he might want in life beyond attaining knighthood. There are few other places in the world where you can meet good and faithful men from every corner of Cantǒn than here, so you put Mikail to practice. Greeted as a peacemaker among the faithful, it is rare to find a table or gathering of bodies where you and your squire are not welcome. In one instance, two of Father Towbray’s men give up their last remaining seats for you and stand, a courtesy which is typically only afforded to the landed gentry of high standing in your homeland. For the most part the boy holds his tongue and speaks when spoken to, which is all well and good given the senior age of others present, but as the informality of the discussions continues and with some coaxing from yourself the Mikail engages in the conversations as well. Thankfully he doesn’t unduly embarrass himself beyond the odd awkward comment or foolish opinion borne from youth. Few of the pilgrims pay it any heed, though you couldn’t guess whether that forbearance is them dismissing a boy’s awkwardness or holding their tongue out of respect to you. The encounters with the men that have travelled from the south are especially interesting, to you and Mikail both. Doctrinally, their faith does not stray too far from the orthodox practices on the continent, but there the cultural similarities with Cantǒn end. Clad in robes and headscarves not dissimilar from the desert spearmen that you saw confronted by the Norsikaans upon your arrival, each man of mature age without exception bears a padded sash crossing from right hip to left shoulder. This item is usually a vibrant colour distinct from the rest of their outfit, and it is in fact quite a lot of material bundled up together rather than a purely decorative fashion item. [1/3]

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:YAm+SFRs Mon 17 Apr 2023 12:11:54 No. 5638782 Report Over lunch with these men you learn that the sash is only undone from the left shoulder when a man is taking his ease with others over tea, at which point it is draped over both legs like a blanket, or when taking part in something requiring significant physical exertion or otherwise necessary to the setting up of camp. For some of the youngest, less than Mikail in summers seen, this is their first pilgrimage. the older tribesmen, this year will mark their sixth or seventh visit to this site over what is considered by all to be hostile territory. For the eldest, this year will be his ninth and likely last. It bemuses you that you’ve never seen their ilk in the other holy sites on the main continent, and that none of them display any particular desire to cross the Cathagi strait to do so. The significance of this and their cultural peculiarities is lost on you, but you cannot doubt the piety of these men. Being exposed to and appreciating the differences in separate cultures proves to be something of a teething experience for your young squire, but he muddles through without any untoward anger at his ignorance. Pilgrims are, by their nature, typically a rather forgiving lot. [2/3]

That afternoon you are pleased to see Mikail and several other squires laughing together in the courtyard. Playing rough-and-tumble scrumball and fleeing at the sound of the scolding words of a nun put off at the dust being kicked up on their drying laundry is hardly knightly training. But the boy must first be that, a boy, before the weight of the world sets too heavily on his shoulders. He appears to have made a fast friend with one of the Sir Cedric squires, a young dark-haired boy by the name of Riley Younger. Those two, along Sir van Brooksvale’s troublesome ginger youth that you wouldn’t let stray near a pie cooling on the windowsill let alone a warhorse, get up to enough little adventures in their short time together that you consider reminding your squire that this is all still holy ground. ======================================>This tomfoolery is not appropriate for a delegate of House Andrei. Mikail is an extension of yourself, and thus must act accordingly. While you do not take umbrage with your squire politely engaging with the squires of these particular knights, you remind him to conduct himself as if he were representing you, and to see those squires as reflections of their own sires in turn.

Not being able to read is really going to mess Mikail up in the future. We need to get him up to speed.

If Father could turn a blind eye to you two pinching a honeycrumb apple from the kitchen, you can let the innocent misadventures of Mikail and his new friends slide. Within reason. [Hearty] I had some sly plans involving a potential misadventure into the City if you had taken a harsher approach, but alas you’ve gone the big ol’ softy route. The life of a squire is not an easy one for a child. It is a profession fraught with difficulty and danger, aye even death for the slow or unlucky. For your squire in particular his time in your tutelage has been a constant and arduous journey, travelling from one task and hardship to another with scant chance to actually be a child. He has not complained, not within your earshot at least, but you think it unhealthy that a young lad like him is lacking in friends his age. So let Mikail and his new playmates enjoy their childish antics while they can. You see little reason to ruin their fun. A part of you wonders whether you should caution him as to showing some discernment in potential friends and distance with the less trustworthy types, especially if they squire for knights of ill-repute, but you are distracted at that moment by the movements of a small creature. Perhaps taking her cue from the sound of noisome children, Lady Stoutsworth is also making a nuisance of herself. She tugs at your sleeve as you rest on the garden bench, tugging at it like a kitten with a piece of string. Suddenly the whitecloak ermine pauses, ducking low at the sound of a bird’s cry. Her ears are folded back and her body pressed low against the stone of your seating. This diminutive pet of yours may be small, but they are nonetheless through and through a creature of the deep Wild. As canny as any copperclipper and brave as any yeoman, it would take more than your ordinary breed of bird to set her on edge so. [1/2]

But the shape for such a bird is all wrong. It takes some squinting and shielding your eyes against the setting sun but soon enough you realise that these are in fact Legatus Griffinhawks, kin to your own vaunted avian messenger Courageous Sky! You had heard that there were no wild Griffinhawks to be found in the southern lands, all domesticated and used as imperial messengers since the height of the Cathagi Empire. These griffinhawks, and there must be half-a-dozen of them, do not seem to be flitting purposely about the City carrying one message of another. No, rather they seem to be floating leisurely, riding the warm winds that lift them up high above the Crescent Palace some distance away. The sky around the Crescent Palace is noticeably absent any competing birdlife, and indeed the wider city today, and even the incessant seagulls from the bay seem to have decided to nest up early today. The presence of numerous Griffinhawks in the sky does not seem to be cause for alarm for anyone, but you’d have noticed before if this was a daily occurrence. The Long Walk commences at first light tomorrow, but there is enough sunshine left in this day to consider what to do with this opportunity. ====================================>You have Orin bring Courageous Sky out to the gardens with you, but still caged, where he can hear and react to the cries of these Cathagi Griffinhawks. If the two groups seem amicable, you see no harm in releasing Courageous Sky to stretch his wings. If they react with hostility or otherwise distress Sky, you’ll simply have Orin bring him back inside. [Haughty] >You’ll have Orin bring Courageous Sky out and release him to share the sky. Even if these tamed cousins of his are somewhat territorial, you cannot keep your Griffinhawk caged during your entire stay here. He has to be let out sooner or later and, given all he has been through thus far, keeping him confined any longer would be torture for a creature of the Wild. Besides, like Mikail, he might find new friends. [Hearty] > Regrettable, but Courageous Sky must stay caged and stowed away for now. You don’t yet know whether these Cathagi-strain hawks are hostile to outsiders, or whether they might even attack Sky in his cage if brought up. The last thing you want on the eve of the Long Walk is finding yourself helm-in-hand explaining to the Chapter Master why a melee between Griffinhawks broke out on church grounds. [Idealist]

On paper though letting him out would be better than keeping him caged while throwing the freedom of flight in his beak.

[Hearty] >WINGS OF LIBERTY: +1 Save (single use) to Courageous Sky’s Pathfinder Roll kudos to the anon that spotted the flaw in the haughty option You hear the indignant squawking of Courageous Sky long before you see Orin bundling his cage over to the garden balcony. But at the sound of the cry of another of his kind your Griffinhawk goes still, tail lolling slowly as he cranes his neck one way and then another. Seeing you he hunches up and pauses expectantly, a slight quiver in the hindquarters giving away his keen anticipation. Staying as deathly still as any apex predator whilst your manservant fiddles with the latches, the bird bides his time. But the moment that latch is unlocked, the tempestuous avian bursts into action. Flinging aside the cage door and bouldering over Orin’s shoulder like a bundle of feathers launched from a trebuchet, Courageous Sky leaps into the air. A few frantic flaps of his wings to gain altitude and he’s off, with a tilt of the tail he heads directly for the circling flock of Cathagi Griffinhawks. The foreign squadron responds instantly to his first defiant, challenging cry on approach. Dipping their wings and breaking from their lazy circling above the westernmost tower of the Crescent Palace, the Legatus flock spreads out and moves in on your stout messenger in what in cavalry terms might be recognised as an attack formation. Your fingers tap nervously on the stone parapet as the haughty cries of the Legatus flock reaches your ears. One of them breaks formation, swooping down on your stout hawk as the others cover his flanks. [1/2]

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:fGovFvUE Wed 19 Apr 2023 13:05:43 No. 5640543 Report [2/2] It’s hard to tell at first whether they are attacking each other, the Legatus flock is swarming Courageous Sky as their number takes turns swooping down on him from above or chasing him on an upward thermal. They must be passing within inches of each other, a mere blink of the avian eye way from an awkward collision and mid-air tussle. After nearly a full minute of this you decide they must be playing, or perhaps testing your bird in some ritualistic non-lethal manner. While the whole swarm covers his flanks and controls which way he breaks or is funnelled into the next daring swoop, only one of their number seem to chase him at any given time. The flanking manoeuvres on their part could also be part of the game, testing themselves to see how much they can constrict this challenger’s movements while one of their number tests him out. Courageous Sky seems to be holding his own, or at least isn’t attempting to flee back in a panic. For all you know, he could be having the time of his life. Movement atop one of the rooftops a street or two over catches your eye. You chuckle, shaking your head in amusement at the sight of Jess the Kid perched on the rooftop edge watching the avian exchange above. Must be something in the air bringing the Wild creatures out tonight. You’re too far away for a human to have heard you chuckle, but just then the Fae archer turns and gives you a little wave. ===============================> “Orin, where are we on the Sisters Calendar tonight?” You summon your manservant, sparing a nod for Jess as you leave her to her own devices.

If something is up call her back if nothing's wrong let her be. But i suspect that if this is a night of fae power she might want to plant another tree. If so we should escort her again or better yet try to make her wait so we aren't tired for the walk. At all costs we need to make sure she doesn't try to plant a fae glade here at the church or somewhere else that would course trouble

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:fGovFvUE Fri 21 Apr 2023 11:50:56 No. 5642112 Report [2/2] The skies above Cantǒn and other realms is blessed with a single moon, Diadem, waxing and wanning with her smile in the heavens but steady in her size. Sometimes the jealous glare of her smaller sister can be seen in the background, but rarely amounting to little more than a particularly large star or coin-sized offshoot. But on nights like these, the cold and distant second sister looms large and aggressive. Dwarfing her steady and dependable sister Diadem, the gaze of Diedre turns to the terrestrial realm so favoured by her twin. It is on nights like these that the Wild is most active. You’re sure the scholars have their theories, that the extra light of a second moon aids the nocturnal creatures or that rays of energies disturb tide and creatures both. All you know is that a night of Twin Sisters spells danger for the Almighty-fearing man. It is a night where creatures of the Wild roam far from their nests, hunting grounds and hiding places. A night where goodfolk lock their doors and bar their windows, keeping a fire going for the whole of the night to be spent in the warmth and security of their homes. Even Aubres, the centre of Cantǒnian law and order, is not a place where a traveller would want to be alone on the road on such a night. You wonder if you’ll find the second sister was also prominent, if not in full bloom, on that night in the Langlish glade with Jess. You don’t very much like the possibility of there being some connection. You leave Courageous Sky to his devices, still shrieking joyfully at the mock aerial combat he’s currently engaged in. Even if the significance of the moons is lost on the natives of Cathagi, you know it is not a night for men. A night of Twin Sisters on the eve of the Long Walk hardly bids well as a good omen. =============================> You head to bed early, even abroad and seas away from the depths of the Wild you feel little inclination to stay outdoors on a night like this. Best you put it out of your mind and get as much sleep as possible. The Long Walk awaits.

>>5643415 Hey guys, I know this quest isn't a blog but I wanted to share something from my personal life.
I made the difficult decision to stop being friends with someone that I've been friends with for a long time, reason being that nothing I did for them seemed to ever be enough. I was trying to hard because they told me that I wronged them in the past, and I felt as though I've had to atone for it for the duration of our friendship.
I'm crying. It's the first time I've cried in years, but for some reason this feels so difficult to do, despite me knowing that it'll be better for me in the long run. I try to be strong and think of figures of strength, Emile being one of them. But I don't have it in me to be strong right now.
I guess I seek pity, but any words of how you guys overcame something similar, or how to move forward would be much appreciated right now. Feel free to roast me for the lulz, that helps too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B91RUv2lI8&ab_channel=francislimsj – Salve ReginaeDawn has not yet broken and the Salve Sanctum is crowded with bodies. The pilgrims kneel shoulder to shoulder on the stone floor, so tightly packed that it is hard for the ministering Comitas knights and Medicae Sisters to step between them. The crush extends all the way up the stairs and into the Church proper itself a level above, but no one complains. By good fortune, or perhaps a mark of respect from the other pilgrims, you are near the forefront of the Sanctum itself. You receive a benediction from the Chapter Master Callahan himself, although the man pays you no more special attention to any other earnest pilgrim gathered before him.
The ancient City is the birthplace of the Cantǒnian faith, and although the landscape and city itself were much different than some 900 years ago there remain four holy sites of significance that the vigil covers in a circuitous route. The Long Walk commences at dawn from the Salve Sanctum, paying obeisance. From there it is a lengthy trek to the second site, where Adam gave his sermon in the far outskirts of the City. From the edge of the desert and back, around most of the city proper, to the third site at the City’s coastline where Cain was crucified. The path from there takes one directly through the heart of the City, following the route of the Brother’s struggle as the uprising forced its way to the steps of the Crescent Palace. You are not likely to reach that final site until nightfall, and the trek until then will be harsh and unforgiving.
You are glad that you went to bed early yesterday, the weight of the journey and recent exertions do not lie so heavy on your shoulders today. You are able to properly shriven yourself in prayer, to steel your mind for the hardship ahead rather than dwell on how tired you are. You use this moment of quiet meditation at this first site to contemplate the divine beauty of Salve Reginae’s mercy.

Were it not for her care, they might never have escaped the clutches of the masters that came for them.

>A vow sworn at the end of your Vigil is considered to hold particular gravitas. There is no shame in not swearing a vow, you have stood the Vigil proud like any other knight. If making a vow or vows, be mindful that conditions that excuse failure are viewed dimly. This is a vow to achieve a worthy feat after all, not a business contract. If anyone want to suggest a vow we should start thinking about it, personally I like the Idea we vow to not bear weapons against men of chivalry or noble cause
but not shields Anonymous
>>5644791 That's funny as fuck but I don't know that we'd be able to uphold that oath and "men of chivalry" is a pretty dicey one to have an oath about. I feel like too many would fall into that category, not to mention all the duels we end up in. We'd break that oath too fast I think and vigil oaths are worth more (pay out and punishment) from what I remember.

>>5644883 I agree, I do like the Haughty trait on Emile if only for the fact it gives him some personal conflict with his religious and idealistic ideals
Ultimately though it's up to Forgotten whether that oath would necessitate us dropping the Haughty trait

Quoted By:
>>5644914 Haughty isn't necessarily a bad thing for Emile either. In our case, Emile thinks that as nobility he better than the common folk, and it is his duty to protect and aid those lesser than him. We know better and are stronger than the peasants, so we must rule them to keep them safe. If Emile were a bad person it could be totally different.

That said, I agree that shifting to Humble would be a terribly boring conclusion.

>>5644791 Good catch!
I think there is one enemy in the future we all agree on, and they are the Sons of Sin.
We're already implicitly sworn to fight the foe, put putting our specific enmity against the Sons 'on paper' doesn't seem like a bad idea to me.
E.g: "I swear to oppose the sons of Sin, and their corruption of man's virtues, at every turn until either they or I no longer draw breath."

[Idealist] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGZH5feaxa0&ab_channel=HPfan619 – The Long WalkAt first light, the procession of some hundred or so pilgrims and their Knights Comitas escort leave the sanctuary of holy ground and the Long Walk begins. With each Vigil thus far you have not hesitated to take the harshest trials available, and you have done so joyfully. At each stop along your pilgrimage these tribulations have only seen you emerge stronger in your faith and conviction, and you will not shirk from your determined path now. You have long steeled yourself for the cruellest hardships that await you on this final and most important vigil, the Long Walk.
Your long hair has been shorn to the scalp, messy and unkempt from the livestock shear used to cut it. Like your noble fineries and high-quality clothing, it is merely another material trapping for you to discard on your pursuit for of spiritual salvation.
By the end of the day blisters are sure to be the least of your worries. Much of the City streets are paved, but the debris of the untold masses tends to collect in the street. Rough stone, broken pottery and unthinkable filth lies in your path. Cuts and sores quickly prove to be an inevitable affliction, you can only pray that your open wounds will not fall prey to infection later on.
>You health status is reduced to <span class="mu-b">BATTERED</span> You walk near the head of the procession with others that have entered into an undertaking for a like test of resolve, a place of deference and concern alike from the other faithful present. Father Towbray is among the former of course, along with his most ardent followers. <span class="mu-i">Your</span> followers, he calls them.

But those few local eyes that are present to see rarely look upon the pilgrim and their chorus of psalms with kind stares. Hostility, or at best apathy, from the well of citizens and shopkeeps that have cause to be out this early. Confusion, or sometimes a description that might be called yearning, in the downcast eyes of the masters less fortunate slaves and bondsmen. As the walk proceeds along its circuitous route throughout the heart of the city to the southern gate, the sun begins to rise proper and the crowds in the streets begin to grow. Most have no choice but to give way to your parties size and determined path forward, . Most step aside with little fuss, some offered muttered curses as they do so. A few, and you are surprised to see both masters and meek alike act as such, spit in the path in front of you or worse. The vigilant presence of the Knights Comitas precludes any physical confrontation thus far, but they are spread thin. You are not blind to the occasional Stratiokas sentry keeping watch on the sides of the street or the roofs above the predetermined path ahead, but they make no move to halt the abusive words or offensive objects thrown in your path. You are shocked the first time a Cathagi dumps his trash in front of you. Rotten food, nightsoil and Almighty knows what else, the act was directly in your path and clearly intention. You look up at the wrongdoer, a brown-skinned local of some middling import, likely a shopkeep or something of that nature. The Stratiokas sentry directly behind him watches on, but does nothing. The shopkeeper offers you a wicked smile, waiting to see how you’ll react. ===========================>You ignore the man, tilting your head up with righteous pride as your step over his filth.

You walk not as a cowed slave might, dressed in rags and beaten into submissions, but with all the confidence and nobility of a prince attired in the finest garments and privileged right of way. A man born free, thanks to the efforts of the Brothers and those that aided them. Frustrated at the lack of indignant reaction from yourself, the unseemly local offers a muttered curse as the procession of the faithful passes him by.
It may be the first insult offered on the Long Walk as your party approaches the City gates, but it is far from the last. Curses, rude gestures and discarded rubbish greet you at each street corner. Armoured in the righteousness of your actions and the pleasure of this dedication to the faith in suffering, all of these petty wrongs wash over you like water off a duck’s back. Anything less would be beneath you.
The procession passes through the southernmost gate without event, the guards standing aside with little ceremony, and the path ahead clears up considerably as you reach the city’s outskirts. Past the hovels and the farms and the stretches of arid land, wincing as the road grows rougher and sharp stones cut into your bare skin. You have been walking for hours, the sun now fully in the sky, and you are little over halfway to your destination.

The Book of Brothers is clear, there was not one single speech by Adam. Nor was he the only speaker, many of a like mind and heart echoed his views and philosophies to the downtrodden in many places. The injustices of their fates, the future of their children, and how a man might lead his life and live the world better for those to come after. Such words were repeated throughout the city some nine-hundred years ago, at first whispered between cages or muttered askance in back alleys. Then it was talked and debated in small gatherings at humble households, preached to crowds of ready listeners in the street corners. Parables tell of Adam’s ad-hoc sermons, his words to one fellow in a moral lesson or insightful reflection eventually drawing a crowd a in the street until the guards came for him. Without fail it was his watchful brother Cain and other supporters that enabled his safe escape, distracting and confounding the pursuers or outright attacking them. Such small acts of rebellion were repeated, the words more defiant, the listeners greater in number and the resistance to any attempted retribution more brazen until a full-scale manhunt for the speakers ensued. Such is depicted in the Second Passage. Something changed after Adam and Cain returned from their exile in the wilderness. Whispers spread of their arrival, brazen and fearless of reprisal. Local authorities failed to act, too fearful of the growing support to move openly against them or attempt an arrest. Their minions stayed at their posts, and were mobbed even when they patrolled even in platoons rather than squads. Slaves abandoned their posts and ignored the lashings and promised punishments of their masters to see this men that would not be broken and who promised them the same. The City’s industry itself was hampered, such was the effect on the suddenly not-so-disposable workforce. Shops were emptied, goods were not delivered to the rich and poor alike and for the first time the true rulers of the City started to pay attention to the whispers with growing concern. [2/3]

It takes you hours to arrive, and another hour still to approach the yawning chasm where Adam’s words echoed to thousands upon thousands of willing ears. You’re shocked at the scale of the mining operation that must have taken place here. It is nothing less than a jagged mountain crafted and torn out of the earth to take shape by the hand of man. Even though the marble deposits here are largely exhausted, the industry of mining having moved to other sites centuries ago, surely the marble mined here must have formed the foundations of every building in the great city of Cathagi in times of old. Not least the immense Crescent Palace. Almighty knows how many slaves laboured here when it was still worked, backs bending under stone and whip as they sweated in the oppressive southern sun. Almighty how many died in the building of palaces and mansions for their masters. <span class="mu-i">“Water, milord.”</span> Mikail appears by your side, proffering an open flask. The concern in the boy’s voice is plain, the swish of water within is a sound tantalisingly to your senses. Ahead, the thin and perilous trail that leads up the manmade cliffface to the summit where Adam spoke from beckons. Most pilgrims opt to rest a while, listening to sermons repeated by the priests among the Comitas that echoes Adam’s words. To brave the trail to the age-old source is not unheard of, but neither are reports of those that do injuring themselves or even falling and perishing in the attempt. =================================> “ A sip, no more. I am not yet spent.” You gather your bearing and a moment’s breath before attempting the summit. It was from there that Adam spoke, and those closest to him could see the man in the flesh and hear his truths most clearly. You have the best chance of reaching it if you gather your strength first. [Haughty] > “My thanks, squire. Let us take a moment and share what we have.” Not everyone is so fortunate to have an attendant like yourself, you rest with the majority of the pilgrims at the foot of the quarry as you tend to the other pilgrims that appear to be struggling. To be among the masses that heard Adam’s echoed words at the base of the quarry is enough. [Hearty] > “…” You shake your head, not pausing before you attempt the climb to the quarry summit. Did your forebears have the luxury of rest? A moment of respite save for what the masters spared to keep their chattel breathing? No. And for the best of them, their thirst for Adam’s dream of liberation was greater still. [Idealist]

[Idealist] This is a tough one; from a meta-gaming perspective I feel like taking a break is ideal for when we do the vigil. From a roleplay perspective though, doing the walk with no breaks just as the Brothers did feels right, even if we suffer another level of damage for it

The marble father was talking before we began our pilgrimage probably came from here, we have gone full circle in a way. Can we take a small piece of marble back with us as a gift to father.

>3 SUCCESS: You scaled the wyvern infested peaks of Fallavon in full armour. Despite the heat and thirst, you actually find this hike far easier. You reach the summit without injury. >DOUBLE PASS: Echo of Adam. While no Montbrun native, this maze of man-made chasms and cliffs is not the first mountain you have climbed. Indeed, unencumbered by armour and equipment you find traversing this terrain to be a great deal easier than your previous experience in the crags of northern Fallavon. You pick a winding trail, no more or less promising than the half-dozen others that seem to twist their way up closer to the summit, and stick to it as there were signs at every turn announcing that you were on the right path. Those few brave and hardy pilgrims that take this extra measure are one and all among Father Towbray’s number, and they following you with earnest belief and growing confidence. Later the doubters among the main pilgrim party would suggest that you had paid a guide to lead the way, but they’d never dare say as much within earshot of yourself. The climb is not easy, despite your certainty that you are on the right track. The sun is at its zenith, beating down upon you with the blistering heat of the desert. Those stones not covered by shade burn the skin to the touch, dehydration sets in and your lips long for the taste of water. But you do not falter, setting one foot ahead of the other in sure-fire conviction towards the nearing summit. The trail turns treacherous, some of the pilgrims have turned back with injuries or where their courage failed them. You send Mikail with them to assist, taking only a small amount of rope and gear for the last leg. You cannot fault their attempt, you yourself are very close now. With them gone all that is left is yourself, Father Towbray and two of his hardiest followers, Caleb and Joab. You’re helping Towbray slide lengthwise across a particularly thin stretch of trail above the cliffline leading to the final ridge when you hear something. <span class="mu-b">…a day will come…</span> Your ears prick and the hairs on the back of your neck rise. Something in the wind…. [1/2]

You stretch out your hand just as it comes again. <span class="mu-b">…when the lash of the master’s whip holds no sting. When the scourge of the tyrant’s cross holds no fear…</span> Your breath catches in your throat as the world spins. <span class="mu-i">“Emile, what i-”</span> Father Towbray’s chapped lips motion, but only fragments reach your ears. His eyes turn from exhaustion to concern, and then pleading. <span class="mu-i">“-alk to me, my son.”</span> Behind him, you distantly register Brother Joab and Brother Caleb begin to move in your direction, their outstretched hands joining his. Some part of you knows that the cliffline line is only a step away, but you know you are never in a moment’s danger. <span class="mu-i">“Do not weep…”</span> You whisper, moisture tickling at your eyes as you smile at them Father Towbray’s pleading eyes, his expression transforming into one of rapture as he begins to understand. <span class="mu-b">Do not weep for the fate that might befall you if you stand. Save your tears for the future of your children to come if you do not. </span> <span class="mu-i">“What is wrong with him?”</span> Joab’s voices his concern to counterpart Caleb. You remain vaguely aware of their movements and words, but it all seems in slow motion. Much like when you’re at your best in battle. <span class="mu-i">“He was fine a moment ag-Cain on the Cross he’s getting close to that edge! Quick, grab him!”</span> <span class="mu-i"> “Don’t touch him!”</span> Towbray’s voice rings out like a distant church bell. <span class="mu-i"> “He can hear...”</span> The day is calm, the skies clear. Even the wind is still. But here and now, miles from the sea, it reminds you of that moment in the storm. Later you could not say whether you slipped… or stepped away from the cliff edge. An act of faith perhaps, or madness. <span class="mu-b">This world is the realm of Man, promised to us by He Who Was. Is. And Shall Forever Be. </span> You only fall for a split record or two, the rope tied around your arm snaps taut. Much like that moment at sea again, all but certain death waits below.

But it would be providence that Brother Rousseau would be the one to fulfill the promise of his own oath at this moment, and save us in lieu of being able to save Gabriel.

Is this it? The Long Walk is over? Kinda underwhelming if true. I guess you can't top getting hit by lightning.

>>5651882 I don't think the fight with the Dragon is included in the long walk, technically the last step should be returning to Canton since it bookends the Cathaggi section of the book of Brothers.

>SELECTED: Brother Marcel Rousseau >SELECTED: GAIN Benediction: Restore +1 wellbeing of a Companion, once per combat. You fall only for a moment, the rope around your arm snapping taut and leaving you dangling over the cliffside. The vision, or whatever one may call it, fades away rapidly as you come to grips with the direness of your situation. A glance down at the lethal drop below is a sobering moment for you indeed. The lifeline tugs and tugs, bit by bit you find yourself lifted out of the yawning chasm. Looking up you see that your saviour is none other than Brother Marcel Rousseau, white Comitas cloak flapping in the gentle desert breeze and arms bulging as he gradually lifts you up with a herculean effort. A prayer of heartfelt thanks is still on your lips, whispered to the Almighty and the holy knight both. And this time, praise be to God, the rope holds. Despite mature age and the taxing effort of scaling this trail behind you fully armoured, the holy knight grips your outstretched arm and pulls you up to the summit in a single motion with surprising strength. You lay prone on your back for a while, catching your breath and trying to organise your thoughts. The stares of Father Towbray, Brother Rousseau and the two other pilgrims forces you to sit up. <span class="mu-i">“Was it the Angel?”</span> Father Towbray’s voice is quiet and deferential. <span class="mu-i">“…”</span> You shake your head. <span class="mu-i">“It was another…”</span> <span class="mu-i">“Adam.”</span> You look up at your confessor, nodding once. The man smiles, closing his eyes before speaking softly. <span class="mu-i">“ ‘Do not weep for your pains of your children. Your blood today buys their future tomorrow.’ The Book of Adam, Act VI. I knew as soon as you spoke the first words of the scripture.”</span> You frown at Father Towbray’s quoting of the specific passage. That is indeed what the scripture says to your memory, but it is not what you heard. Although the message is similar… But the old priest does not see your expression, already turning to other pilgrims present. [1/2]

But he alone among your number has never doubted, never questioned you in this. Not once. The wiry old Reclaimant priest is faith incarnate. <span class="mu-i">“Do either of you question it?”</span> The two other pilgrims glance at each other a moment before answering decisively. <span class="mu-i">“We were there in the storm, Holy Brother.”</span> The elder Brother Joab speaks with deference, holding his right hand over his left wrist in the sign of the faith. Brother Caleb agrees, mimicking the symbol of faith. <span class="mu-i"> “If you say you hear the Brother’s voice, Ζώντας Άγιος, then it is so.</span> <span class="mu-i">“…”</span> Brother Marcel Rousseau regards you for a few long seconds, his expression unreadable. His nods slowly, having come to some sort of decision. <span class="mu-i">“…”</span> You stay atop the mountain summit for a while, looking out over the same view that Adam would have gazed upon in his time. The scripture says that the chasm below was full to the brim of those who had come to listen, as well the plateaus and cliffs opposite here. It is not hard to imagine his voice echoing across the valley, pure unmitigated truth dripping like water in the desert of those with ears willing to listen. And what of your own truth? Although the Almighty’s messages continue to come to you alone for the time being, this is likely the first instance where your reaction to it was witnessed so clearly by others. The Church would doubtless prefer to be the first to hear of this event from the witnesses firsthand, their accounts unblemished by the re-telling and widespread. If that is indeed their intention to properly enter the event in the Record of Saints, absent any ulterior motive. These men of faith that have come with you this far will doubtless wish to spread word of what they have witnessed here. But if you command them to bide their tongues, they will obey. =======================>You pay no heed to the whispers of the pilgrims. You are the avatar of the Almighty.

Is there a theoretical cap to how many adam/cain/thorn points that can be gained in this world? Also, I imagine that those who have accrued large quantities of Adam points are far more rare since Thorn is the easy/material/dishonorable path, Cain is the violent/rage/hate path, and Adam is the enlightenment/transcendence/peace path which is all about not taking the easy way out.

Until then, whatever comes is the will of Heaven. The cynicism of the doubters or the faith of the believers will not change that inalienable fact. [Haughty] You have long since surrendered yourself to the will of the Almighty, and whatever task He may set before you in the coming days, weeks, months or years. If the Angel bids you speak, you shall shout from the rooftops. And if the Angel bids you bide your silence, not one word shall escape your lips. There is a certain peace in that surrender, and you are glad of it. You pay little heed to the musings of those who have borne witness to your part in this ineffable design. Instead you bind those spoken words to memory, committing to writing them down verbatim when the Long Walk concludes. For what purpose you cannot say but the distinction between Adam’s voice and what the scripture now quotes weighs on your mind during the arduous trek down to the bottom of the chasm and back to the city far more than the whispers of your compatriots and other pilgrims behind you. It is a long walk back to the City, your feet bruised and cut, your body drench in sweat underneath the humble pilgrim robes as you approach the gates. It is here that the procession pauses, the chanted psalms humming from a hundred mouths catching the attention of every bypassing grand trade caravan or lone humble farmer. The next step is Cain’s bearing of the Cross, viewed by some as the most demanding of the sections of the Long Walk. Where Adam was a great orator, a man of words and much wisdom, Cain was a man of action. Perhaps the promise of a better tomorrow was an empty one to him, empty for as long as those who suffered did not act today. He would confront the wicked and tyrannous wherever he found them, unflinching against the most terrible odds. Adam might denounce the evil acts of the masters and preach to the masses that this was not the way it should be. But it was Cain that would be the first raise a hand against them, to cast them down from their pampered pulpits, to rip the lashes from the hands and tear their garments. To slay the worst of them, whose vice and wanton cruelty would never be judged or condemned by the system designed to keep man in chains. It did not matter if a score of armed guards stood between him and the unfortunate that was to have judgement passed upon him, if they would take up arms in defence of the evil he had come to slay they would die with it.

You do not know just how much the Brothers disagreed with each other on this point, on the distinction between wilful disobedience to an unjust system and outright violent insurrection. The Book of Brothers covers the schism that developed between Adam and Cain after the great battle of Motte-Fallavon concerning the uneasy peace of the Wild in great detail, priests and scholars have long meditated and written on that chapter as the great tragedy of the Brothers that robbed the Kingdom of Heaven of their saintly founders in its very moment of ascension. One to death, the other to exile. But even before his self-imposed exile, you must wonder whether the Brothers were ever at odds before then. Certainly there is no suggestion that his most brazen attacks were with the knowledge or approval of his more considered brother. The ambush on an overseer’s personal death squad, the slaughter of a corrupt magistrate’s household and later the razing of the Place of Pain, where state criminals were tortured to death. When he returned from his wandering in the desert, like Adam he was much changed. None could stand before him, masters flinched at the mention of his name, hired guards fled at the mere sight of the righteous avenger. Cain in the wastes, Cain in the streets, Cain at the gates of the City itself. When Cain walked out of the flames of the Place of Pain, carrying the pitiful form of his sinless Mother rescued from her harsh captivity, he was confronted by the entire city garrison. Even the Dragon could not view himself as above the attention of such a brazen attack on such a public institution, and by that dread lizard’s command professional soldiery made war upon Cain’s followers and the streets ran red with the blood of both until… <span class="mu-i">“I am here. I am ready.”</span> That is what the scriptures say, both sides peeling away as he stood between them unarmed. The Salve Reginae was handed into caring arms, whisked away for what good the healers might do to alleviate her suffering. But far from joining the melee, Cain commanded his own to stand aside before holding his arms out to the enemy to be chained. <span class="mu-i">“Do your worst.”</span> They could have killed him then and there, cut him down like an animal in a butchershop. But they did not. It was the will of the overseers to deny him such an easy end. Cain was stripped to all bare dignity, bound in heavy iron and then bound again. His fate was not to be death in battle, no. The Cross awaited him, the ultimate public testament to any who might dare defiance again. The masters would have their example. [2/3]

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:Rf+4ke/U Tue 02 May 2023 12:52:10 No. 5652962 Report [3/3] You and the rest of the procession have halted two streets over from the southernmost gate, they say that this is where the Place of Pain once stood. It is a tailor now, or rather a collection of small stalls with a tailorshop being the largest permanent building. No sign of the structure that stood here before it remains, no sign that the calculated suffering on untold thousands inflicted here has seeped into the soil and corrupted the place around it. In fact the tailor manning the front stall is quite friendly and approachable, , albeit confused, and the man does appear to be enquiring politely in broken Cantǒnian whether any of the many gathered pilgrims present are intending to place an order. Four guards scourged Cain with whip and iron, ripping the skin and scouring the flesh to the bone as he was walked bound and chained to his supposed execution on the lines of crosses that used to loom morbidly over the embankment of the grand Cathagi bay. The City watched in silence then, hope fading with each fall of the lash, but you of the faithful are not silent now. ================================>“Cain in the wastes. Cain in the streets. Cain at the gates themselves.” Stripping to the waist with some of the more fervent followers, you join the head of the procession scourging yourself with bands of bundled cloth. Your skin will not thank you for it, you’ll not be able to lie on your back for days. But this is how you can honour Cain’s sacrifice, his determination to prove his did not fear the very wort the master’s could throw at him. [Haughty] >“Cain to the ends of the world.” You remain clothed in the humble pilgrim robes, holding your arms crossed up towards the sky in solidarity with the other pilgrims. It is tiring indeed to hold them so the entire walk of the way there, even if you hadn’t walked non-stop nearly all day. While the Reclaimant Sect and other sorts of the Cainite aligned followers may partake in ritual self-flagellation, you personally have always resonated more with the stoic teachings of Adam. Cain is to be respected, not emulated. His may be a remarkable tale, but it is also a cautionary one. [Hearty] >“Cain! Cain! Cain!” Rawhide whip, strung with broken glass and crushed seashells edges. Civilized Cantǒnian folk view the practice as barbaric, even for a pilgrim to have others in turn inflict the wicked nine-tails on your bare skin is considered zealous in the extreme.

Yes, we are an [Idealist], but we aren't a [Zealot], if you catch my drift. Would Emile be any less dear to the Angel and the Almighty if he didn't go through such misery? At what point will we stop being a human in the eyes of our companions and become a beast of God instead, hellbent on being a conduit of the Almighty? All of this just seems obscene, perverse even. I do urge Anons to think it through more.
Besides, Emile was always more prone to Adam, but I do admit that there are certain Cainite characteristics to him. His righteous anger, his fury in battle. So I will pick the moderate amount of flagellation. This is my two cents.

It is tiring indeed to hold them so the entire walk of the way there, even if you hadn’t walked non-stop nearly all day. While the Reclaimant Sect and other sorts of the Cainite aligned followers may partake in ritual self-flagellation, you personally have always resonated more with the stoic teachings of Adam. Cain is to be respected, not emulated. His may be a remarkable tale, but it is also a cautionary one. [Hearty] Anonymous

By the by, been loving the quest forgotten, and Im really glad you're taking up on trying to make this masterpiece of a quest, so I figured that I should try and say thank you for working on this on and off again, for over 5 years in Australia! Kinda disappointed just how much of a let down our angel has kinda been, we choose it from Anarchy as not only the best one, but also its analogies to joan arc and her burning at the stake. And yet in the hole time we have had it, it has precisely showed up, 3 fucking times. And it didn't even bother to show up for arguably the single most important event in Emilie's life, spirituality speaking, we had to roll for it on a 1. A more than a 1/100,000 result that has more often than not just been a damned 100. Maybe it will finally show up again when we finish our last pilgrimage in Cathagi, and be more active afterward. Sigh, now I'm just dealing pissed and disappointed.

>Our experience is no less diminished from abstaining from whipping ourselves to scraps in a savage display of fanaticism. I'd disagree since echoing their journeys has been a thing since Aubreys vigil, every step one way or another echoes their story, sure the long walk and pilgrimage echo it but much weaker than trying to experience it as they did.

>>5653297 >Kinda disappointed just how much of a let down our angel has kinda been While the Angel lends credence to the narrative Emille is a god given saint, its not necessarily even real and it could entirely be a horror induced delusion of his own mind.
The fact it is used so sparingly reinforces the idea its not explicitly anything outside of what Emille and anyone else thinks it is and personally I dig that.

Quoted By:
>>5653432 Fair, all signs point to it very much so being real, if one were to play the crazy card, then not even our most lunatic version, could possibly pull of, not 1, not 2, but three perdictions/knowledgeable stuff. 1 was the physical look of the thing, which somehow, fits the description of what the church says an angel should look like, despite us never even having followed close to half of our life with theology, or scripture, which made the claim that it was angel not be dismissed out of hand by anyone in the church. 2 was when we were told to ask about a letter, that we had NO clue, whatsoever, in any possible concution we had, that waver possessed. Which then led to us finding out a criminal that had escaped capture from the largest legal knightly order in over 2 years, destroy a multi-generational power hierarchy fueled by blackmail, crime, debauchery, and sin all get handed into the hands of a order that is going to pursue this for years after, and all of THAT within less then a fucking fortnight of getting into the city and hearing the angel. 3 was the dialogue that without warning directly told us that the Prince was linked to a Massively powerful navy family that is trying to get closer ties to said crown by proxy of warmer relations to Canton. And find out that said family, almost every single ass freeblade company is being hired by the prince for a massive war in the east, presumably Montaburn, to either help crush the attacks of the new Prime serpent, or much darker and more likely, help the serpents, betray the defenders of the gates and allow the snakes free reign into canton, as HIS allies. Combined with the constant miraculous things we have done, such as directly remembering the words from adams speech, every conceivable sign points to the angel being real. The fear then, is if it is a devil tricking us to fuck us over in the future, or it genuinely is angel of God.

>>5653486 No, I have counted and it has been at least half a dozen 100's, and that's counting the ones that came into effect and weren't rolled offscreen that could have fucked us over, had they been real and not free rolling. The nat 1's by far have been much, much rarer in comparison, but that's not my complaint, I may hate that its a roll under system, but it has in the past turned surprisingly good all things considered so Im not saying that the system sucks. All Im saying was that we needed a nat 1 roll, which after close to a hundred rolls we sadly did not get.

>>5653903 The real gamble comes after we make it to the palace steps. I wonder what we will do there.
I can see it now - a beaten Emile, limping on his last legs up the marble stairs of the Palace, carved, sculpted, and placed by slaves. Each painful steps leaves a bloody footprint that the other pilgrims dare not tread upon. Once he reaches the top, Emile collapses to his bruised knees and prays for the strength to meet the final challenge, as his blood trickles from his cuts and pools under him. Emile is beaten, true, but he is far from broken.

God dammit man, I did not expect you to try and look through all of the threads. Honestly, I had just remembered there being a lot of 100's early on in the threads while I was skimming through Quest trying to read it and have a complete understanding of what's currently happening in the recent thread. Sorry, about making the incorrect assumption about 100 being more common than 1's. That was me making an assumption, and just being reminded of a lot of high rolls early on in the quest.

This will be heralded by the invention of the printing press in Romaine lands, which will be the epicenter of the paradigm shift that will forever change the way religion is consumed in Canton. Sects will form, be consumed, and scatter. Brother will fight brother over the interpretation of a passage. The church will wage bloody war against Romaine to prevent the spreading of Truth, the real Truth. But if the Almighty wills it, then so it shall be.

>>5654141 This does have some merit
>"a day will come when the lash of the master's whip holds no sting. When the scourge of the tyrant's cross holds no fear We've seen that the nobles(masters) of certain duchies whip the serfs when they disobey. Sinclair did this and I believe it was because the serf wanted to leave Sinclairs lands. Is there really much difference between a slave and a serf in that case. I'm not sure if we've seen anytime where a serf is crucified, but I imagine that is kind of taboo in Canton.

I think what you can draw from that is that the landed Nobles of Fallavon are no better than the Cathagi masters of old which is fair. Fuck Fallavon btw.

I could personally see Emille supporting checks and limits on noble abuse if he had a head for legislation or statescraft, like if the Kingdom had a parliament I could see our boy behind it but Canton doesn't as far as I know.
Anonymous
>>5654396 >if the Kingdom had a parliament It likely has some kind of ‘Assembly of Nobles’ which the monarch can call upon - probably happens infrequently
Given Emille‘s association with the Ordo Preator it is not far-fetched that we go down a Protestant Reformation / English Civil War path in terms of curtailing noble / clergy excess and promoting legal representation
anonymus
>>5654410 In terms of noble assembly, and infrequently, would have to be putting it mildly. Whenever any high political office, like a president or a King, Calls together an assembly of every Noble in your country, and it is not for something like a social gathering, it is either a sign of something terrible happening, or an incredible use of a large amount of soft and political power that the king has used. If we wanted to use any kind of real world equivalent, then something in a loose idea of thinking, would be the assembling of the estates prior to the French revolution in France. Something that prior to that event happening, had not occurred in over a hundred years, and when the situation in Europe was far more favorable for France then, than it currently was post the French and Indian War.
Never mind that the entire meeting was not only a political stunt, it was also because everyone was aware that France was in a major problem that it needed to self-correct, which it flopped on, and the rest is history.

>>5654410 >>5654418 is right in the matter of the assembly of nobles providing ''counsel'' though Ideally I imagine the dukes (or rather all the dukes save Aubrey) provide a buffer from the necessaity of such a universal assembly and unlike the general estates or english parliament I imagine such an assembly has only percieved rather than legal power in such a gathering.to the point of Paths we should remember Emille is and remains rather conservative in his ideas of the country, yes the peasantry should be well treated, yes the excesses of the nobility (mainly from F*llavon) should be curtailed and the crown factions should be somewhat accountable for their actions. But it is all done under the rather conservative agenda of preserving the land and institutions of the realm from destablisation and abuse so that only limited reform is required rather than radical reform of a group like the Bluejays (French commune revolution) or Crown factions (Crown absolutionist, Theocratic dictatorship)

One is taking the Cicero route, which is going to be hard, and doesn't solve all of the problems, but the other two paths, are either communism under the Bluejays, half of which is just a hiding of the fact that really, they just want to kill every noble in Assaloan, because fuck that place, it's goddamn awful.
Outside of that, then either it's renouncing yourself as a noble or getting drawn and quartered. Even if the threat of death wasn't involved, the Bluejays have no plan on how to make anything that their sprouting true, and half of the reason they're even still alive, is because of the disinterest of the crown, disinterest in the player base willingly trying to murder them, and the fact that they're asking the fae to help save their asses and giving them a safe haven till their "inevitable" victory against the tyranny of the blueblood.
And lastly, either a full-blown coup by either the prince that promises nothing for change or a possible slide into a theocracy by the church whenever its queen gets uppity on having more power to itself.

Outside of course, of any extenuating circumstances that could come up in that timeframe that could destroy any reasons currently listed as a reason for or against the BJ's?

>>5654865 the BJs might be able to keep the order out but as soon as they start fucking with canton proper there gonna be looking for a major shit kicking by a royal army. it's one thing to look for independence in virgin lands it's another to riling up the lords Peasantry while asking for the heads of all nobility
anyway if the Bjs try something it will be during a major conflict like the snakemen or maybe the reconquest against the deadmen either options will probably piss of Emile
anonymus
>>5654984 Ah, you raise a good point. Considering the war with the snakemen should be ramping up in intensity in about a year's time by the new prime serpent, I could fully expect the Bluejay to take advantage of the, probable, response of the Duke being forced to pull back his troops that would be supporting the order of names, in order to be then called to do battle in support of the border war with Montburn. Its not even the first time the BJ's have done this either. Not 20 years back during the Border wars, the BJ movement sprung up in the first place thanks to the lack of attention pay to them thanks to all of the chaos and war engulfing not only the dukedom, but the country as a whole.
In regards to Emilie, honestly, the only reason the BJ's aren't already having him come after them, was one of three things. His brother not wanting him to slaughter them, his oath to keep their secrets safe, the whole, allowing his brother to be clear of suspicion, and the chaos that was the whole SoS affair, and lastly, him needing to go onto a pilgrimage. If, when we become part of the Dragon Gaurd, that we are given the ability to act as a liaison back to Canton as a representative of the god dragon king, and the BJ's do cause problems, either Emil is going to absolve his oath and tell the kingdom where they are, or he is going to go to them, and murder the shit out of them.
I just hope for their sakes, they learn to keep their head down and just stick to their woods for the next half-decade, else then the Bear will come to them.

It's part of why I think the development in Vancewell as a love interest if not marriage prospect is incredibly interesting and a thread worth pursuing intensely since her family and ambition offer an opportunity to flip an entire duchy on its head which cannot be understated as a gamechanger.

Even moreso during intense storms. > Saint of Trials, the faithful would pray to Saint Emile when encountering hardships or seemingly impossible odds, for he always took the path of most resistance and entrusted the outcome to the Almighty.

Behind him gather three of his most fervent followers, similarly shirtless. Four in total. Four is a number of great significance in your faith. There are four holy sites along the path of pilgrimage, four legs of the Long Walk in the holy land. There were four knights numbered that carried Adam’s fallen body down from the breach at Aubrey. And four slaver guards that scourged Cain before he was place upon the cross. You and your confessor had talked of this before the Long Walk began, before even you landed on Cathagi’s shores.

Murmurs turn to gasps as one of the Angelites unfurls a wicked looking cord, multi-laced in dangling strings wrapped in jagged seashell and scraped glasswork. It is an evil-looking tool, an instrument designed to inflict hurt and suffering rather than simply compel obedience. While the local onlookers merely seem confused, the pilgrims know full well what is about to occur. Mikail begins to move your way, eyes wide in alarm, but the strong arm of Brother Rousseau laid upon his shoulder. This is not for them. Others also voice a hushed protest at the wanton barbarity, pressing forward to discourage this course of action. They are turned aside by the stone-faced Comitas knights present. You have the Chapter Master’s permission for this display on the Cainite section of the Long Walk, if not his blessing.
You close your eyes and whisper a silent prayer to the Almighty for strength, giving thanks that by your arrangement your companions are spared any part in this grim duty. You would not ask this of them. Father Towbray, Brother Joab and Brother Caleb, as well as a new addition in Brother Isaac. The four Angelites, faithful and righteous men, cannot bring it upon themselves to lash one they revere with the same sadism and malice of the four slaver guards than gleefully whipped Cain every step of the way to the Cross. None seem happy with the duty before them, to inflict pain on one they revere. But they will not shirk from it.

To not emulate Cain at this point feels wrong also goddamn Cain fought the entire city, got probably tortured, whipped and crucified and still went on to fight the Dragon.

This is our tribute to the Avenger of the Faith. Everyone who says we are an Adamite at heart are correct, but Cain's sacrifice was no less than Adam's. He is due our reverence at his most holy of places. We will rise because he rose.

Cain does need some love, but when we inevitably fall unconscious, I want our friends to catch us and carry us. Where one of the Brothers is found wanting, the other carries its weight, knowing that he to will be aided in his own time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrBihZya6s4&ab_channel=Ghost-007 – Cain Stands. <span class="mu-i">“No…leave me…” </span> You brush aside Brother Rousseau’s strong grip, shrugging off Mikail’s shoulder of support. At first they ignore your weak protest, determined to lend aid to their leader. Injecting your next words with the steel of unquestionable authority takes a mustering of strength that you did not think you left in. <span class="mu-i">“I command it!”</span>
Your companions retreat at your words, you can imagine the hurt in their expressions. How rare it must for a sworn man to risk disobedience to their liege out of love for them. But they must understand, this is all part of Cain’s test. Not just the suffering, not alone, but also the will to endure and push past it.
<span class="mu-i">“…God help me, I will stand…”</span> The effort of shifting from your knees, one leg after another, is a shrieking demand of body and mind near as much of the whipping itself. Your eyes are drawn to the pulpit where the Cross once stood, a morbid crest greeting each ship bearing slaves and masters inspecting fresh product on the docks. After Cain was thoroughly scourged, flesh ripped to the muscle and bone, they hung him up there and left him to die. <span class="mu-i">“…on my own two feet…”</span>
It took you an effort of will just to speak after undergoing a taste of the harshness of the scourging of Cain. How any man could muster the strength to not only speak but shout, to scream his anger at the wrongs of the world when any other would surely have long perished. For a day and a night Cain called upon the Dragon in every mocking title and base slur under the Almighty’s creation. He named him Beast. Despot. Tyrant. He called him by his secret name, that which even the scholars of the time were too fearful to record. And on the second day, the Dragon came.

Soaring on wings that eclipsed the sky above, the earth and sea wall trembling as the great ruler of the City landed on the shore. Towering over the sea wall and condemned man both, the Dragon had come to Cain. It was only a few minutes, but to the multitude that watched on trembling from a distance it seemed a long conversation indeed. What words were said and what subjects they spoke of have been lost to time or, more likely, was heard by those two and those two alone. Priests and scholars alike have their theories, but the Book of Brothers is only clear as to how the conversation concluded. At the end, Cain laughed. Laughed, in the face of an earthly pagan god, and the god recoiled at the sound. What kind of laughter was that, to strike fear and fury into a creature that measured years in the span that a man measured days? [2/3]

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:Rf+4ke/U Mon 08 May 2023 12:58:27 No. 5658322 Report [3/3] As the following pilgrims continue to receive their benediction in the background you stumble further along the sea wall, noticing the difference in the colour of stone alone the sections where the Dragon’s claws indiscriminately raked apart the battlement. Destroying everything, everything except the spot where Cain remained upon the Cross. And then the Dragon fled, retreating into the air and making straight for his monumental marble lair. As the sun set on the on the second day, as the Crescent Palace burned and echoed with the screams of those within, Adam mustered the growing multitude of followers armed in faith and fury both. And Cain broke the Cross. The Battle for the City had begun. =============================== You have stood the trial of Cain, in its harshest and most barbaric of ancient forms. None can doubt your piety, some might even fear it. You thank the Almighty that it is over, but still you wonder at the secrets left behind in the wake of Cain’s suffering and judgment. >“Angel, Taxiarch of Creation, I call upon thee. Angel, Hipparchus of Heaven, grant me sight.” You have never dared call upon your heavenly guardian for answers before, you a mere mortal fallible man. But if you are meant for something greater in heaven’s designs, then you are not yet done here with the secrets of Cain’s trial. By GOD you are not yet done. [Haughty] > “I wonder what the scholars say they spoke of? Halina, that smart and shy little bookish thing, she could probably tell me.” The secret of Cain and the Dragon’s dialogue is one of the great mysteries of the holy scripture, debated and theorised in theologian circles rather than considered a sort of forbidden knowledge. Mayhap God has sent you no vision of the truth, but you could still seek answers in the Aetheneum later. Or perhaps even from the mouth of the Dragon himself. [Hearty] >“Such wonder still left in their story. Praise the Almighty’s design.” If the Angel wished you to know the secrets of the words spoken between the Dragon and Cain, they would have revealed them to you. It is enough to know that you are Heaven’s righteous instrument, you need nothing else. You must instead now pray and focus your mind on the final leg of the Long Walk, to the gates of the Crescent Palace itself. You will need your strength. [Idealist]

This is a very important roll. I believe that there is only one more vigil after this one. I sincerely hope it is worth the years of waiting. All the things we could have done instead of the vigil. We could have done tournament circuits, we could have learned magic, we could have fought the undead lords, but we all decided to go all in on the faith.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJleW4TCQM0&ab_channel=Movieclips – The Battle for the CityThe singing of the pilgrims grows more agitated as the final leg of the Long Walk is underway, closer to agitated chanting than the soothing psalms that have thus far permeated the procession. This is representative of the running battles that took place across the City when the brothers Adam and Cain led the people into uprising. The victory over the massed hoplite formations in the Lesser Quarters, the route of the master’s elite troops at Princes Plaza, the destruction of the sea fort Kalamata and the seizure of the vast majority of the Imperial fleet that lay docked in the bay therein. Old wounds as far as the natives are concerned, and most scarce care to be reminded of the revolution that toppled the regime of the time and saw their great empire humbled. Less still do they with any fondness look upon the repeats of these military disasters centuries later when the rising star of Cantǒn made war upon them after such pilgrim demonstrations such as yours here and now were banned by the viziers some centuries later.
It goes without saying that this aggressive demonstration that is the final and most public step of the pilgrimage is viewed with open scorn by the populace, even by the common Cathagi local with nary a slave of their own to their name. They look upon the Crusades Adamant as an act of madness by barbarians, fought not for trade concessions or material acquisitions but to safeguard an offensive religious practice in front of their mightiest institutions. Gone is the dismissive or bewildered expressions of the locals from earlier in the day, most of those out in force now look upon you and your fellow pilgrims with open hostility.
You pay them no mind, discarding the angry glares and hurled abuse to one side as you lead the procession from the front into the core of the City. The pilgrims in your wake take heart from your dauntless example. If they had not witnessed it, if they could not see with their own eyes the bloody marks of your passage under the whip, none would believe that they were now following the same man who had just minutes before been beaten to the point of tortuous crawling unto the final steps to Cain’s Cross.
The Knights Comitas are spread thin, hands on hilts and eyes wary. You can see why. Now the Stratiokas caste that previously lined the way in scattered formation array themselves before the Crescent Palace steps in full phalanx formation. There are hundreds of them, outnumbering your party by a factor of at least three or four to one. You see furrowed brows tilted under menacing helmets, hands tightly gripping long sharp pikes that are levelled your way. It is a clear enough sign, any pilgrim that oversteps their place and attempts to place a foot on that first chiselled palace step of marble will find a spearpoint waiting for them.

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:Rf+4ke/U Wed 10 May 2023 12:31:13 No. 5660316 Report [3/3] It is a formidable display of Cathagi’s martial strength, still impressive despite the column of men being dwarfed by the square and shadows of the old empire. This plaza must once have seen tens of thousands marshalled here, not hundreds. The show of force is also somewhat redundant. Not with all of the Royal Army’s catapults, trebuchets and battering rams could you tear down those walls or make a dent in the Crescent Palace gates. And the scholars report that the Crusaders Adamant did not even try, instead seizing the city with faith and fire but leaving the Palace entirely untouched. But you are not here to honour the achievements of those crusaders, you are here to pay homage to the miracle upon miracles that was the Brother’s ultimate victory over the chains that bound them and their people. They that routed the massed armies of the empire, and those of the vassal cities that came to relive them. They that seized the City in a night of fire and blood, even as the Crescent Palace burned with the incandescent rage of the Dragon. They that topped the gates of that place, somehow, and did battle with the Tyrant of the South in that blazing inferno. They that cast the beast down upon the palace steps, humbled and broken, a wonder that could only have been achieved through the Almighty. And they that spared him. It is here, in the very same place that the founders of your faith and homeland stood in their hour of triumph on the steps of the Crescent Palace. It is this night, in the Plaza of Princes, by torchlight and twin moonlight. It is now under the eyes of your closest followers and the gaze of a thousand strangers, pilgrims, soldiers and foreign locals all, that you make your most solemn oath. <span class="mu-i">“Know me.

>>5659872 As anons have already hinted at, ever since the original BCQ I've aimed to be more flexible. The ramifications of that derailment particular plot. The vampire count anons are referring to was supposed to be the MC's "in" to having a hand at the wheel of the overall BBEG campaign. Instead the rival cultists of course took the lead and the Black Company served as front-line fodder while enemy forces made a comeback. I'd put so much into not just that doors that one character could open up AND locked myself out of any kind of potential replacement that it really jerked me around and tossed days and weeks worth of planning in the binfire. Hilarious and I have no regrets with what we ended up with, but it did teach me a valuable lesson.
I have a lot of pots on the boil in the background, and many will continue to bubble and even boil over without MC intervention, but I trouble myself not to lock anything into a.
TL;DR I have many ideas, some of which are in play, but I don't get too invested or attached to them since that one time...

Forgotten QM !!cRQ2bB+8b3B ID:Rf+4ke/U Wed 10 May 2023 12:44:27 No. 5660330 Report >>5660319 There was nothing in the reginate oath forbidding the taking of this oath to chain a Son of Sin per se. Certainly you can't say that you've seen one, or what that one of the Sons of Sin looks like, or where you've seen it. Or much of anything really.
People aren't going to know what you're on about, and you can't really explain without breaking the oath as you have identified, but there is nothing in the reginate oath preventing you from making this oath in public.
That's my view I guess anyway...

>>5660330 Cool so we could take the oath, tell people we've taken an oath of silence on the topic and will speak no further on it. I think most would accept that. If anyone pushes I suppose we could say we read about an ancient enemy of man in a dusty old tome and are determined to see them driven out of existence without breaking the oath?

Besides, Ardenne? That's a REAL treat. Real ass knigga shit, something even our dear family and duchy want to do. Imagine, a thousand believers toppling the Dreadlords from their black thrones, holy fire in one hand and a blade in the other. A beautiful sight and a lofty goal.

>>5660330 Our oath made to the then Second Herald, Lord Kasper Alexandi.
" 'I hereby swear on the Book of Brothers, on the Knucklebone of this Unnamed Saint and on my life that I shall utter no word of what I witnessed here today save by Her Majesty’s command or that of her favoured servants, the Heralds. May the Almighty strike me down where I stand should I forswear this oath, and may my limbs be torn from my body by horses and left to rot in the sun.”...“Nor shall you write of it, or communicate what transpired here in any way to any other soul. Swear it.”

>>5660347 I'm willing to wait and see what Forgotten says after some sleep since I'm too tired to go track down the oath and see for myself as well.
As I said though, if we can word it in such a way so the oath remains but is secret... that'd be my preference.
I feel like a crusade against the deadmen... might not be possible in this lifetime, or at least soon. Some of this is meta-knowledge but we've got danger on the horizon with both the Black Sails being sighted more often but also the Lizardmen massing on the boarders. On top of that we're seen as a threat by the Prince (or at least a dangerous nuisance).
So massing knights and soldiers could be seen as the prelude to a rebellion (or framed that way in a justification to destroy our house) and if not, the losses their could mean the difference between winning and losing when other threats come for Canton (Lizardmen, whatever the fuck is sailing on those ships) so it seems like a disastrously risky thing to swear an oath to

>>5660352 >His Word Speaks Only Truth my friend. We shall not lie about where we know of it. It's not a lie, we read about the Sons of Sin at that small temple/church/whatever in Fallavon before actually encountering one. What we read then was a clear indication of a terrible Foe, an enemy of man, even if we didn't grasp the severity of it at the time.
As for the oath (thank you for grabbing that)
>I shall utter no word of what I witnessed here today To my mind, that absolutely doesn't prevent us from making at oath to kill "The Sons of Sin" just against talking about our encounter with them, the Heralds or anything of that day. That's a simple oath to keep, as I said, we've read about them previously and we can always cite our oath of silence in not divulging more.
"I first came across the term when looking for my brother, I read of an attack by one of these Foes on a road nearby months or years past. What further I may know of them I can not say, for I have been sworn to silence on the topic. I hope you can find it in you to respect that oath"
Easy done.

Now that I think about it though, the oath mentions Chaining the Sons of Sin which is a little on the nose as far as the oath is concerned. I think it still isn't a breach but it's enough that it'd piss people off where vowing to defeat the SoS maybe wouldn't. I think a slightly more generic oath might be necessary if we go that route

>>5660483 The captain from Langland said that he believed the dark sails were the crest of a massive sea serpent. He's likely wrong though, since the timeframe of Abyssal escaping the island prison lines up with Ardenne being overrun by seaborne undead that appeared out of nowhere. My guess is that whoever Abyssal was in life had some sort of attachment to Ardenne, which is why it's the only coastal settlement the dark sails have ever assaulted.
anonymus
>>5660525 But then, in that case, why were the chains from the SoS, we found for, if not a massive beast? Why only 6 men their to guard it, with a clearly magical blade, if it were in fact a vessel of somekind? The rest of what you said could be possible, but unless we ever get another opportunity like that again from bounty of the sea, then it seems incredibly unlikely for any of that to be true.

I like some aspects of the proposed write-in
>>5660380 but I’m not a fan of the current wording with respect to ‘I swear to ever oppose the deathless evils’. Not because it removes the explicit Sons of Sin reference, that’s a clever workaround on the Reginate oath of silence(even if it conflates Deadmen and SoS tightly together). My issue is particularly that ‘ever oppose’ doesn’t actually call upon you to actively do anything, it’s an ongoing obligation to stand against them wherever you might encounter them which I imagine you’d do anyway. A solid goal, such as binding a single Son, is a call to action and measurable in a way that ‘ever oppose’ and similar phrases simply aren't.
I’m going to call for a recast on all of the below options, the three below were just about neck and neck and some of the other write-ins didn’t garner enough traction to warrant being included.

We can tag along with the Reginate if we get a good lead on another Son of Sin. We even know where one is right now, acting as the Prince's bodyguard. It puts us in direct opposition to the Prince but none of these things would ever be easy.

>>5661212 Because compared to retaking Ardenne or marrying Frida it lacks ambition and a clear vision to working on and achieving it and theirs been no discussion as to a plan, both I can at least see theoretical plans for while the sons of sins is bumbling around in the dark trying to find Forbidden lore checks and/or crits to show more.

Now that it looks like it will, I'm all for it. The SoS seem more like goals we would stumble upon as we continue our journey, with us only going after specific one when we are ready(like Avarice)rather than making a beeline for them.

Honestly, the whole idea that we can use the SOS as a goal, is fucking retarded, and the only reason it even exists is because we know for a fact that Avarice, is the red giant that guards (and corrupts) the prince. In no case what so ever, could we ever make this a goal to achieve, have the time when we were close to it, it was by the most insane of odds that should never have occurred unless you already knew about it, which we very much did not know about. The other way we tend to interact with the SOS, is a lucky crit haperning our way which just so happens to be a reward in the form of intel about them. If not for the fact that this is just a likely way to get around to getting and capturing Avarice, this would run into the face of the GM's own words about something we would always do, rather then a goal we would be motivated to follow on. This by thee GM's own reckoning, would be akin to making a promise to capture a runaway train crashing into the ground. Any chance of it occurring would be by a fluke at best, if were not there at that exact moment the train went down, much like the SOS is a disaster that walks, before moving along and hiding away again from the rest of Canton from finding out. Deciding to get married or planning for a holy crusade, by comparison, which doesn't require a miracle (or more accurately, a catastrophe) to occur right next to us, is way way better on planning for then on happening and allowing us to work towards instead.

If he's being a stick in the mud, Lord Alexandi would probably be of aid. What's stopping us from also taking prisoner any of the Faction who might know where one is? Research in the Atheneum about historical sightings? What happens if poking around asking questions and looking up esoteric information gets the Order of Chains' attention? We have now also asked the Angel once for information, so if we are really stuck and can get no leads, what's preventing us from trying to ask the Angel for guidance? The only way we can't find one now that we know what we are looking for is if we are avoiding them entirely.

That type of knowledge, would be something they would never part from, unless we quite literally joined the Reginate, for perpetuity. My only caveat is the Angel. It can probably tell us how, what and where to do all, that, it would just require us to get some number of steps down the route of Cain and Adam, and cleanse our body of those thorn points.

>SELECTED: “I will reclaim the Ardenne for my people, or die in the attempt.” [Hearty] To the Brothers Cain and Adam, casting down the Dragon must have seemed an insurmountable task. An impossible goal. But nothing that the Almighty wills is impossible. The Brothers knew that, and their faith changed the course of history. You know that… and perhaps, through Him, you shall do the same.
You have long dwelled on this moment, wresting with your doubts and demons on your quiet days and sleepless nights. You know full well the measure of your determination, the gravity of the oath you aim to bind yourself to. The path ahead is long and torturous, deep with terror and wickedness beyond the ken of man. Perhaps you will fail. A sorry warning to some, an inspiration to carry on the fight to others. And perhaps that is enough.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W_Ja7SQD60&ab_channel=DeathPok3r - The Brothers and the Dragon / Andrei and Ardenne For three centuries the Deadmen of Ardenne have plagued your people. Since that cursed night of Three Sister Moons the sons and daughters of Romaine have known neither peace nor respite. For generations, the fathers and mothers of your birthplace have raised daughters and sons knowing full well that their children and their children’s children will play, grow, fight and die in the shadow of that godless place. A sinister and pervasive corruption each spring, summer and autumn. A dire and existential threat each winter. Every year the blood of Romaine’s sons has sown the fields of their home. Aye, and daughters too.
Three hundred years. Three-hundred years of conflict. Three-hundred winters of suffering. No more.
<span class="mu-i">“Know me. I am Sir Emile Andrei, son of Lord Nikolai Andrei.”</span> Your voice rings out across the Plaza of Princes, echoing across the marble steps and up to mighty gates of the Crescent Palace. Every pilgrim’s hood, every stratiakos helm, every bare head turns in your direction. Every eye present, some thousand pairs of them, rests on the lone knight standing in their midst. You. <span class="mu-i">“Hear me. On my honour as a true and faithful knight…”</span>
The quiet in the plaza is pregnant, heavy with anticipation even to those that know nothing of your language.
<span class="mu-i">“I will reclaim the Ardenne for my people!”</span> You have seen much of the world since leaving home, you recognise that your trials and travels have likely changed you forever. But you are first and foremost a son of Romaine, and you will not abandon her. <span class="mu-i">“Or die in the attempt.”</span>

Your oath is greeted with silence, dumbstruck in the case of the pilgrims and confusion from the Cathagi masses. The wiry old form of your confessor steps forward. Despite his rough cloth and ragged appearance, he walks with all the grace and authority of an emissary in a foreign court. Sinking to his knees at your feet, the wizened Reclaimant priest takes your right hand in both of his as he presses his forehead against the back of your palm. <span class="mu-i">“…God wills it.”</span> Father Towbray rasps, clutching your hand with his skeletal hands like a sailor clinging to a lifeline. The man rises to his feet, turning about and scanning the crowd of shocked pilgrims as his eyes bore into theirs with a defiant fury. <span class="mu-i">“God wills it!”</span> <span class="mu-i">“…God wills it.”</span> A voice carries from the mass of pilgrims, at first alone. And then not. <span class="mu-i">“God wills it.”</span> <span class="mu-i">“God wills it!”</span> The muttering and murmurs of the pilgrims grows in strength, building from scattered shouts to cries of affirmation. It is not just the Reclaimants, not just the Angelites, but even the pilgrims that once gainsaid your worth and refused to recognise your divine mission. But even amongst those doubters, not a man among them doubts your conviction after today, not one believes you speak your oath falsely or without true intent. <span class="mu-i">“God… wills it.”</span> Mikail whispers at your side, eyes wide at the scale of his sire’s ambition. <span class="mu-i">“…”</span> Brother Rousseau clasp his gauntlet in a closed fist, a single thump across the chestplate mirrored and repeated by his fellow holy knights. Well they know the cost of the vigil against Ardenne’s malicious reach. <span class="mu-i">“God Wills It!”</span> Confusion mills among the Cathagi bystanders, the significance of the moment lost on all but a few. Even the lines of the disciplined stratiakos shift uncertainly, wary if this outburst from the foreign procession is about to signal a suicidal charge at their lines. It takes the barked order of their local commander, the same Kyrios Leon you from your arrival the previous week, to still their ranks. <span class="mu-i">“GOD WILLS IT!”</span> By now the chorus of cries from the hundred pilgrims present has erupted into an explosion of fervent declaration, a cacophony of chanting by the faithful that fully recognise the significance of the oath and that of the one who made it. The Comitas sworn to silence thumb gauntlets against breastplate. The pilgrims of the south, men of the desert who may never have even heard of the Ardenne, begin ululating in their strange tribal cries in recognition of what must be a great undertaking of the One True Faith. <span class="mu-i">“GOD WILLS IT!!”</span> <span class="mu-i">“GOD WILLS IT!!!”</span> <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">“GOD WILLS IT!!!”</span></span> The path is set before you. You <span class="mu-i">will</span> drive out the Dread Lords and their deathless minions from the Ardenne and thus make Cantǒn, the Kingdom of Heaven, whole again. Or you will die trying.

I fear that by picking Ardenne and not Vancewell for the oath, and going for any of these 3 (Humble, Divine or Pious) and then committing 2 years to the dragon guard as we intend to do, we're moving away from the Vancewell route, perhaps any route. Frida won't fuck with a humble retard when she's an ambitious woman, Divine means going full schizo and Pious too will clash heavily with her personality (not religious at all).

>>5662083 I feel like Pious is just a natural extension of Idealist, especially for Emile. For what is more ideal than a world seen through the lens of a holy man who believes, wholeheartedly, that if he bends his actions to those that are righteous and true it will lead to the best outcome for all? Sinner and Saint and everyone in between?
We kind of already do that a lot, we try to take the high road, we met out mercy and justice wherever we can, we refuse that which would tarnish our reputation both earthly and otherwise. We don't even like gambling, although we allow our men their vices because we're not full-retard yet. It makes sense anon.
Based on your comments I think you need to shift your viewpoint though. You're deciding what you like most for you, what would Emile do? How would Emile act, what makes sense for Emile? People will say they're all valid choices, and they are, but what makes the most sense to you for how Emile would change next?

I believe this is the logical progression for Emile. He's followed the ideal and having completed the pilgrimage and talked to the Angel its a forgone conclusion that his faith would deepen.
>A Knight is Sworn to Valour >B) Turn the Tide: Winning Personal Combat allows you to re-roll ALL Battle Progress rolls next round. Since we clarified that Foe doesn't mean human people, His Wrath Undoes the Wicked is a little useless until we fight actual monsters. It might also be a bad thing to have while in Cathagi since we can neither permit nor abide a villain, nor allow their ill behaviour to go unpunished. This will be the thing that gives us an upper hand with the deadmen, snakemen, and Sons of Sin, but not in the Dragon's halls.

>His Wrath Undoes the Wicked >Smite Evil: -20AV to Foes Smite Evil is more consistent than re-rolls in a single round. More chances to damage = less chances to die = more chances to join combat and help friends.
If people are worried about the oath, I'd like to remind anons that this won the previous thread:
>SELECTED: 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 mankind 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] >>5624633 V check

I was previously very convinced that we should join the DG - but strong influence of our religious journey has me having second thoughts
Would a tool of the Almighty protect and serve the Dragon? A pagan god who was the sworn enemy of the Brothers.
Perhaps we should spend our time overseas during the time skip searching for the Order of Chains? Or perhaps undertaking academic study, or commercial activities.

I write as someone who advocated strongly for the magic weapon but was outvoted. I write as someone who advocated for the Lovecraft horrors but was outvoted. I Write now as someone who voted for the divine option and who sincerely hopes that we do not once again choose the safer and more boring option. By my count pius only has a slight lead. Allow me to explain my rationale. We just called a crusade. We just spoke with the angel after requesting something of our own initiative. We are more than pious. We are divine. We have been pious this entire pilgrimage but it is time to be something more. We have only done what is most and have never once taken a single step back. We likely would not have gotten divine as an option had we not constantly gone to extremes. It is not time to step back our resolve to something as lesser like pious. After our entire pilgrimage, there can be no more doubt. It is time to embrace our nature and acknowledge what we have done and what we are. >the Stacy divine warrior who may one day ascend> the beckie pious religious scholar who studies history rather than embrace his true nature.

I just feel that going Divine right now feels a bit soon. We have completed the pilgrimage, but it would be more fitting if we converted to Divine after we have reclaimed Ardenne.

>>5662599 I think there's no better time for it after seeing Adam, Cain and the Angel in quick succession.
I prefer Divine rather than Pious for Emile as it's his Haughty nobility tempered with piety.
As with Pious, I can't see his Idealism as solely tied to the One True Faith, as I feel that it's more that he wants peace and prosperity and sees the teachings of Brothers as a way to that.

>>5662599 I get where you're coming from but we've just completed the pilgrimage that is in essence the genesis of Emille's faith and it's the first time the angel has spoken to us rather than at us. You combine those with everything that has happened on the pilgrimage from fighting Anarchy to our growing (unofficial) reputation as a saint and its hard to argue that Emille doesn't appear to have a link to the divine and I gotta admit thats a hell of an ego boost.
at keast its not Supreme arrogance though that could have been fun.
