Many years from now, not far from home…

“Looks to me your tales have got the little ones all nodded off.” The innkeeper spoke softly, a pair of snoring children nestled in his burly arms. His wife had gone up to bed some hours earlier, her needing her rest with the new baby and all. “Goodwife and young uns’ are smarter n’ us both, I reckon. Will you be staying the night?”

“Aye, if you’ll have me.” The troubadour grinned, the prospect of a warm bed rather than another night out under the stars was a welcome one indeed. “And more tales by way of fare tomorrow, of course… perhaps this time of dragons and spies and plots that will set their little heads spinning all over again!”

“Can’t say I approve of them ideas in a child’s head, or at least my better half might say that. But for my par, if it’s get my wife’s brothers whelps to stop running around for half a moment I’ll be well glad of it…” The hushed voice of the innkeeper was lost in the rafters, though the bard heard his footsteps return down the steps behind him as he packed up his belongings for the night.

He greeted his host with the waggle of a cup and a twinkle in his eye. “One last nightcap before bed?”

“Hmm.” The innkeep poured obligingly, wine this time, into two cups. A Romaine Red, by the bard’s guess. “Not an easy task he set himself, were it?”

The bard paused midsip, casting a curious eye up and down his late-night drinking companion.

“You have to wonder…” The master of this roadside house was not a small man, and it would have taken a mean barrel indeed to have given him that long running scar just below the elbow. “Whether that knight knew what he was starting, saying them words?”

On another night, or to another man across from him, the bard might have given a less honest answer and changed the subject with subtle enquiries on their own history. But the minstrel had never pressed the innkeeper on his past, nor was he much inclined too. Honesty would serve here.

“A curse of the profession, my good man.” The troubadour kept his easy smile, watching the wine in his cup as he swirled it. “…I can tell you the what in the story. And the who. And the where, and when and even the how on a good day. But the why? One can guess, and maybe guess well, but in the end the answer to that has always been with the audience.”

It was hard to judge from the innkeeper’s grunt whether he was satisfied with that admission of ignroance. The innkeep was a man that would set aside a bed when one was to be spared, and a hot meal even on the rare eve where there was no crowd to hear the minstrel earn his fare. That entitled the man to a secret or two in the bard’s eyes, Almighty knows he himself had no shortage of his own.

>SELECTED: Sir Willem Glasdale, the friendly protector of Grenmire At last

Monegan, 26th Day of Kostrimun, 883 A.C.E. – Fallavon/Romaine Border – Grenmire outskirts

Life was good. Early autumn was Sir Willem Glasdale’s favourite time of year, when the heat of summer had most assuredly passed but there was far from any cold bite of the coming winter to be felt. The villagers of Grenmire were all busy with the harvest, and Willem himself was in the midst of reaping the rewards of his own efforts with his small cottage garden. Looking at the state of the lettuce and radishes this year, Willem had to admit it was a good thing he was a knight and not a farmer. He still had a lot to learn when it came to having a green thumb. Clearly.

Still, the rocket had turned out well and would be a welcome addition to the standard fare they purchased from the local Grenmire harvest market. He did not mind the labour, there was something deeply rewarding in seeing the planted seeds grow to new life and ripe for his wife’s work in the kitchen. Speaking of… Willem cast an appreciative eye on his wife’s figure, the curve of her ample behind was silhouetted quite attractively in this light as she leant up to hang the next sheet out on the laundry line. Oblivious to both her own good looks and her husband’s current admiring attention, Willem allowed himself a wide grin. Titles and accolades be damned, he thought. Life was good indeed.

“Bielstock.” Willem jumped at the sound of Tam’s voice, looking up to see the young girl’s steely eyes fixed on him from the cottage window. “Are we going or what?”

“Reginae wept girl! …How long have you been standing there?’ Willem tried to pretend he’d been inspecting something else but knew it was a fool’s hope. Not much got past that one. “The end of the week, once I’ve escorted our farmers to the Grenoble fair. Bandits near to home are as much a concern as some roving beast two villages away.”

The runner from Bielstock had reached them yesterday, asking for help with some manner of monster roving about. The hamlet wasn’t even part of Lord Bierre’s fief, his liegelord. And details of the nature of the beast were vague at best. But whatever it was, clearly the creature had proven more than a match for the previous knight sent to deal with it, the late Sir Fenrick. Further aid from the local lord had been slow in coming, and with the harvest due the villagers of Bielstock were growing desperate. They had asked for help and while Willem reckoned he fell short on many responsibilities demanded of the nobility, failing the Code to answer the call for aid was not among them.

“Good.” Tam’s glare was a resolute one. “And this time I’m coming with.”

“Girl…” Willem sighed, not this again. “Why in the Pit would I…”

“Two reasons.” Willem crossed his arms, having heard this all before. “Firstly, I’m ready, you seen me training. Second, I gots a score to settle with them monsters. You know that. And thirdly, cos I only just thought it, you need someone to watch your back after that last time.”

“Ah… last time…” Since the Creeping Horror, there had mercifully been only one other incident a a beast plaguing Grenmire, a barghest or something of a like nature. And a big one. “That was… a learning experience.”

That had been a great deal more difficult without his friend Emile to help, Willem had barely made it through that deadly fight alive. Sir Andrei had been the only one of Willem’s friends from his old life that had bothered to look past the humble station of his spouse and give him the time of day, even if he didn’t necessarily approve. What he wouldn’t give for that mountain of a man to have his back again when he faced whatever was lurking in Bielstock…

Instead he had a girl about half his age.

I think Willem knows she'll get involved but this is how he'd mentally rationalise it

I think between having her around and being less hung up on social expectations than Emile I can see him giving into her demands and then some because I really don't see him stopping her or resisting her insistance even if it is for the best.

If we tell her no she's going to come anyway. At least this way we can keep an eye on her.

Sir Glasdale is also getting a reputation as a monster hunter it seems. It's funny how compared to Emile just being Humble has turned him into a Cain man.

There is silk in this setting, but I’m actually not going to get further into its origins or trade because a barbarian from the north won’t know a damn thing about it. The material is so rare in Canton that wearing it is considered a bold statement of wealth.

I would say more, but Cathagi is actually a good area for Andrei to learn more IC if he looked in the right places.

We can probably hit Montbrun too if we play our cards right, with all that said I'm of the mind personally that the Dragonguard does little to further the agenda of the crusade since its so throughly removed from any context that can further building it up in any substantial way that isn't just money.

Monegan, 26th Day of Kostrimun, 883 A.C.E. – Cathagi – Church of the Holy Juvenescence

Dear Father,

I imagine that by the time this letter reaches you the first winds of winter will be steadily approaching. You and the rest of our family will be in my prayers, as always, but especially so in that time of trial for our people. I have faith that your wisdom and strength will see our home through the darkness and into a better tomorrow.

I have completed my pilgrimage as I set out to do, and as your father did before me. It has been-

The quill in your hand pauses over the next letter. Enlightening? You struggle to find the right word, how to best communicate the significance of your experiences over this past year and the strength of your newfound conviction in the path ahead.

You sigh, wincing as you lean back in your chair in the Chapter Master’s solar. You’ve not fully recovered from the ordeal of the final vigil, and the relief you felt at the Angel’s presence has since subsided. But the Sisters of Mercy seemed relatively certain that you wouldn’t suffer any permanent scarring once the wounds from the whip have healed, and at the time you gather that assessment was made with some degree of surprise.

YOU ARE INJURED (whip scars) -5DC

You take a break from writing your letter home, standing to stretch your legs and walking with some stiffness to the window overlooking the City in your current quarters. It was in a remarkable show of favouritism that the Comitas Chapter Master insisted your spend your time in recovery in his own comfortable quarters, while he instead bunked with the senior members of his order. Perhaps it is not so remarkable, given the fervour that gripped the pilgrims and even the usually reserved holy knights following your public and solemn oath.

To rid the Ardenne of the Deadmen, an evil that has plagued your homeland of Romaine for centuries. Or die trying. The grandness of your ambitious undertaking is not lost on you, even if the true scale of what might be required to see it done is still an elusive factor. It is no easy feat, that is certain. An impossible one really. Far more likely for you to join the long list of cautionary tales regarding many knights and kings and would-be conquerors that have failed before you. But perhaps those great and good folk lacked one thing you have, the blessing of having an Angel looking over your shoulder.

Nor are you by any means the same novice knight that started your journey last year. Your trials and tribulations, your exhilarating victories in some areas and humbling experiences in others have left you a changed man. Perhaps it is one thing to measure the growth in your abilities and strength in your armanents, the full-plate armour with plumes is certainly better than the chainmail you started out with. But it's more than that. It is hard to pinpoint exactly what the most significant shift in your personality has been, but you probably wouldn’t recognise that younger version of Emile that set off on Errantry back then…

========================================

The significant previous vote was so close before the thread finalised (only one or two votes apart at any point) that in good faith I have decided to put it to a recast with the frontrunners.

Piety is the logical next step up from Idealism. The affirmation and proof of what he always believed should cement Emile to this path.

The Angel is Divine, we are not. The Angel has never given us any directive other than to tell us to Rise and end Anarchy where it stood. It is arrogance to presume we act on the Angel's behalf. It is by our actions alone that we have garnered and keep the favor of the Almighty and the Angel's guiding grace. Our virtue is our own.

Of Emile's traits, his most important would still be his idealism. Captain Canton must never lose that spark of hope. To never go quietly into the night and rage against the dying of the light.

A man cannot converse with the Angel and remain unmoved, such an experience is destined to change him forever. Even more so knowing the Angel has chosen him for some special purpose. If you achieve the impossible and reclaim the Ardenne for your people, it is only because it was the will of Heaven. And if you fall in the attempt, or even die here a thousand miles from that place, well. That must by some way be His will too. You cannot fail, for even if you falter that too must be part of His design. But you do not fear failure in any event. You are the righteous hand of the Almighty God, and if He is with you then woe betide those that dare stand against you and your divine mission.

You nod to yourself, picking up your quill again to puzzle how best put your newfound conviction to paper. In a way that doesn’t alarm Mother, hopefully.

“M’lord?” Alas, a knock at the door further interrupts your letter writing. “Messenger from them Northmen for you, sire.”

“Show them in, Mikail.”

Your squire has begun acting as something of a gatekeeper during your recovery, in large part due to your newfound popularity with those of the faith. Nearly everyone wanted an audience with you. Only those interruptions that he deems worthy of your time or interest get through, others of scant note or concerning trivial matters are turned away. Times were the presumption might have irked you, but in truth you are glad for the peace and quiet.

The message from the Norsikaan Dragon Guard contingent waxes on some, but you get the gist. It appears word of your injury reached even them, and the hard warriors of the north are insisting that you recover before your duel with one of their number. You suspect the translator was somewhat more tactful than the messy runic signs scrawled on a scrap of paper suggested, but you believed him when you heard the reason was they want it to be a fair fight.

All well and good then, you have some time on your hands before that appointment has to be met.

Guys, while I want to take the Aethenium option the most it is the least time critical option. We can't manage the pilgrims after they leave and Kyrias invitiation is probably not open forever either.

The Aethenium will be here always, the pilgrims will not. Even though I disagree with choosing Divine, it is now part of Emile.

In addition to my vote, I have compiled a list in no particular order for Cathagi of the things I would like to do/find/learn while here. I hope this helps other anons make their decisions and as a reminder of how much important stuff we have to do here.

To Do
>Find Kyria Eustace to engage in and learn the local politics
>Honor our promise to Sir Gilbern and Join the Dragon Guard
>Find Sir Gilbern's Aethenium Contact
>Gather information on the Sons of Sin from the Aethenium
>Gather information on Ardenne from the Aethenium
>Gather information on Jess' weird loyalty ritual from the Aethenium
>Get a way to translate Jess' language or otherwise start teaching her the Cantonian Dialect
>Discover the words said by Cain to the Dragon
>Seek out the hermit Swordmaster Zawahiel
>Discover and Interfere in and the Prince's plans in Cathagi
>Study for our Praetor exam
>Search Aethenium for ancient law for Praetor bonuses
>Inform Chaptermaster Callahan about the Echo of Adam and textual differences in the Book of Brothers
>Confront Chaptermaster Callahan about the Order of Chains
>Engage in Commerce (strictly no Copperclipping) and make trade contacts for the Andrei family.
>Keep an eye out for nice things for Frida

>>5683052

>Translate the words/name on our Sword of Providence

We did pick to have contacts in the Aethenium, so I believe that we'll have an easier time there even if we don't start immediately.

On the other hand, having Towbray whip up some kind of force loyal to Emile while we are away is definitely interesting. Might even throw away Gilbern's name as someone to meet when there are enough numbers...

>SELECTED: Perhaps you can provide some guidance to Father Towbray, the man that has for so long guided you. The myriad groups of pilgrims are making preparations for the long journey home, although some like your confessor and his followers seem reluctant to depart these shores for now. The road before you is a long one, and you will need friends at home. [Divine] Surprised this made a comeback, guess enough anons were convinced to change votes and prioritise this. A good choice imo, given it was the most time sensitive.

The Aethenium isn’t going anywhere, and you can put off that invitation to meet with the Stratiokas leadership for now. Of more immediate concerns are those true and faithful men of your homeland, it is them that demand your immediate attention. After all, who are you fighting for if not the faithful?

You eventually find your confessor sitting cross-legged with a score of other men in the Eastern Wing gardens of the church. Some you recognise, Brother Joab, Brother Caleb and Brother Isaac. But many of them you do not know, at least not by name. You do recognise them as some of the same pilgrims that joined you on the Long Walk, but not of the sort you had thought would sit and heed a word of Father Towbray. Some of them are the very same men who gainsaid his move to reserve the Reginae Sanctum for yourself.

“Emile. Bless you, my son.” Father Towbray pauses in mid-conversation with a man who he had near come to blows with on a matter of faith a week hence. His smile is warm and tranquil, and expression somewhat unusual on the Cainite priest typically prone to agitate. “Please, join us. How are your wounds?’

“Thank you, Father. Sore, but healing well enough.” It takes a little effort on your part join the circle of men, but they move aside to make room and Brother Isaac insists you take his spot on the marble bench instead. “I can see the desert pilgrims have already taken their leave south. Tell me, when do you plan to set sail home?”

Father Towbray and the other gathered men glance at each other before turning back to you. “Passage is arranged, but… We had heard you might be remaining here.”

“This is true, my time here is not yet done.” You had feared these men were putting off their journey home due to you. “Although I cannot yet say for how long I must remain. Weeks, months… even years.”

“It does not matter how long. I am a Reclaimant priest, through and through. Your promise to reclaim the Ardenne for the Kingdom of Heaven is a dream in which we all share.” The gathered men nod as the wiry old priest looks at you with an expression you can only describe as devotion. “It is enough to make a man weep, to know that the Almighty has sent us a man who will make it a dream no longer. In you I see the light that will banish the shadow from that blighted corner of the world. I am with you, Ζώντας Άγιος, to the very end.”

>“I am glad to hear it, but I need you back at home. These faithful few are just the beginning, and they look to you as their leader. We will need more support among the common man to bring that glorious day to past. We have much work to do.” Father Towbray will return with the other pilgrims to Cantǒn. He will spread the good word to willing ears with your blessing, that the day of Ardenne’s reckoning is soon to come. And so it shall be, a ragged Cainite priest as herald for the knight chosen by God. [Divine]

>“You have kept me on the straight and narrow path thus far, Father Towbray. If you would consider remaining during my time here in Cathagi, I would sorely appreciate it. I feel that this land is not yet done testing me.” While the majority of the pilgrims must take their leave eventually, you don’t doubt the Chapter Master Callahan can provide accommodation during the entirety of your confessors stay here. Father Towbray will remain here with you, as will a few of the most dedicated Angelites. [Hearty]

>“And well it gladdens me, Father. But for now I need you to see these good and faithful men home safe, see them returned to their families and fields. The road ahead is long and dark, and we are far from ready for the war to come. Enjoy what peace you can before our trials start. When the time comes, I shall send for you.” Father Towbray will return with the other pilgrims, reflecting on his pilgrimage and awaiting the day that you return and begin your holy mission.

I really like the Father as a character and don’t want to lose him as our personal confessor - but our followers need to lay the groundwork for our crusade.

Maybe he can recommend another to act in his stead while we are apart…? I feel like we will still need spiritual guidance

Unrelated to this vote but Forgotten, I believe that before the big decision there should be a clear indication whether staying in the Dragon's Guard will ruin the chances for a Frida route.

It has become something of an important goal (although not the chiefest) for quite some Anons, so I feel that it will be a decisive factor. I fear lack of clarity on the matter will lead to shitshows I'd personally not see.

Still, up to you boss. These are just my two cents.

On second thought, I think I'll try my hand on a write-in with this one:

>Divine/Idealist: "The crusade may be years in the future, and I am uncertain how the crown and the church will react. I do not want you or any of these men to take rash action and endanger yourself or your families. So my wish is for everyone to return home, but stay in contact and carefully build groundwork for my return. Hold meetings and preach in secret father, try to win the ear of influential men and make sure we are a force to be reckoned with before we openly declare our cause and make our mighty voices heard!"

So basically having them go home but instead of lying low focusing on networking and subterfuge, using Islamist tactics until we're ready to strike.

This would have happened anyway but now it will be a directed effort. Also, we can use the Aethenium to discover what actually happened and grind xp on undead/necromancy lore hopefully.

It would be nice to drum up and bring into public consciousness the idea of performing another Crusade into Ardenne.

The Deadmen do not rest, and so neither shall we.”

Kind of a mix between Divine and Idealist, I'd like him to return to Romaine specifically and aid our family in drawing men towards Romaine in preparation for the upcoming Crusade. Ideally the returning Pilgrims would go along with him. Romaine always needs population, no? I'm sure we could find a good use for them there to start creating a power base that would, with such a specific and localized goal, avoid aggravating the Royal kerfuffle currently cresting the Court.

Anons are asking our followers to be killed by the Prince, make our female family member's job more difficult, and the Church wary about our prophetic claims. Discretion people. Discretion.

It certainly won't help, other suitors will be making moves etc, but I won't considered it locked out by any means.

I do somewhat enjoy the dichotomy of a holy knight looking to start a crusade but in his heart desiring a woman that falls way closer to the dark mistress category than a typical fair maiden.

In any event, while Emile has an inclination to join from previous votes I want anons to see a bit more of Cathagi and potential lore before calling the final vote on whether or not to join this thread. There will be consequences for going through with it just as there will be for backing out, and anons should consider both before taking the leap.

It seems a little insensitive, at least to me, to send your confessor off and also ask if there is someone else if you can confide in the meantime. I won’t raise it in this roll right now, but I will note that anons are on the lookout for one if they do extend their stay here.

Double Fail = Fickle apostles. Less than half of the faithful present remain true, few remaining by Towbray’s side in the coming trials.
0 = Plaintive plea. Father Towbray begs that he remain by your side, certain that his place in the divine plan is by your side and not in returning home.
1 = Reluctant parting. Father Towbray departs for Canton at your bidding, but it is with a heavy heart. While he does his part to spread the word, a part of him wonders if he has displeased you somehow.
2 = Glad undertaking. Father Towbray returns to Canton, honoured to be charged by yourself as a messenger of the good word. Every man must do his part.
3 = The Prophet Towbray. The man considers this mission as his life’s calling, his purpose for living and breathing. The conviction and zeal of the Reclaimant priest, never in short supply, has been driven to new heights.
Double Success = Faithful apostles. Not a man present shies away from their part in the divine plan, all supporting Father Towbray in spreading the word.
