Word spreads across Lithmore city of news from the south, as Lady Severine de
Bastion proclaims that all faithful Davites in her lands be freed from
slavery, the unprecedented move causing ripples throughout society. At the
behest of the Archbishop Sibylle dul Fontaine, orderites and knights have
begun a holy pilgrimage across Lithmore, where the Archbishop of Bastion
awaits to direct succor for their liberated people. Her supporters include
House Volsuan, deploying a thousand elite soldiers to protect pilgrims and
citizens alike. On the morning of February 15th, 381, those born high and
low witnessed the dawning of a new era for the people of Farin.

Not long after Empena Astartes' execution in River Square, the following
announcement was circulated by order of Lord Seneschal Kirill von Dmitreva:

"Let it be known that Ordo Patel has been relieved of duty and no longer acts
with the authority of Justiciar. In proceeding with the execution of Empena
Astartes, Mister Patel knowingly circumvented the authority of the Holy Order
of Dav and did so in direct defiance of the Crown.

In short, Mister Patel chose to directly involve to Her Royal Majesty in this
matter, and when he did not receive the response he desired, proceeded to act
contrary to Her wishes and in blatant opposition to the Church. He has thus
been stripped of his rank and taken into custody, where he awaits further
evaluation and review."

As a crowd of haphazard volunteers attempted to drive off a tentacle-like
creature - an entity not unlike one destroyed on the Cathedral of Saint
Aelwyn's steps by the Earl Marshall and her supporters only a couple days
earlier - the city was distracted by a shimmer that appeared in the skies.
Hovering above the western horizon, the aurora has yet to diminish - further,
the tentacle "demons" seem to weaken under its glow. (OOC: If you're a
latent mage who was awakened in the last few days, please get in touch with
Niamh via pboard.)

Blades were still drawn and bows still readied when an anthropomorphic
creature with sagging folds of rotten skin descended upon the Square to
confront those present for murdering 'her' children. It savaged two of the
civilians who tried to shield the less combat-capable of the crowd. Once
wounded, the creature grabbed a local woman - Sedore Demir - who had only
just wandered in, and took her with it. Her body was found, mangled beyond
recognition, near the Jasper Chalice.

_________________________________________________________________________
Today marks the launch of the prisoner labor program, conceived by Lord
Justiciar Ordo Patel and Magnate Vasily Popov. It's a chilly winter morning
when the first volunteering participants are lead out of Ahalin Tower,
shackled together and escorted by Reeves. Prisoners blink in the daylight
and look at the sky, reveling in their time outside the unforgiving stone
walls of their prison, before they're quickly ushered east out of the city,
reportedly to clear an area of the forest around Lithmore City.

Overall the program is lauded as unusually humane, as prisoners are given the
choice of participating and paid a paltry sum for their efforts. Most
prisoners are preferring to serve as laborers rather than waste away within
Ahalin's walls, endure the lash, or worse. Ahalin is less crowded than ever,
public works are sped and improved by the labor, and the public perception
towards the Reeves shifts subtly to view these guardians of the city in a
warmer light.

_________________________________________________________________________
Some time after Ordo Patel had been relieved from his duties as Justiciar and
in the wake of demon attacks across the city, chaos has been the setting for
numerous social circles, both concerned for the future of the Reeves and
Lithmore as a whole. Having been bedridden for some days, Emarin dul Ghaan
emerged from his estate after considerable time in rest as the new Lord Justiciar.

"For the sake of Her Majesty the Queen and the people of Lithmore, I have
taken up the office of Justiciar. In light of recent events I will do my
absolute best in walking within the footsteps of great Justiciars of old.
Decisive action is a necessary part of the office, as well as careful
consideration. It is my obligation to remind every citizen that station must
be respected, and I request patience while I get settled into this new
environment and find rhythm within my duties."

The Lord Justiciar had few things to say further, turning from the dias
straight to Cityguard Headquarters.

A team of Priests led by an Inquisitor rode their way carefully to the
Charalin camp the other day - and spent most of the daylight hours being
shown around the camp and blessing the Urth and people against the Taint left
behind by that demonic attack.

Under the guidance of Elder Mara'aye, they were led to the sites of the
attacks and joined in prayer and blessings to cleanse the area of residual
Taint. Opportunity was made for counsel or questions by those in the camp
that had not already asked during the Priests' rounds.

As the free men and women of Bastion acclimate to change, almost all remain
within their homeland to rebuild their lives anew, pledging loyalties to
House Bastion for their freedom. The few who depart to the capital join
pilgrims of the Holy Order, granted protection from enslavement transiting
Farin and safe passage to Lithmore. Moved by the succor granted through the
Lord, oaths swell the Order's ranks, emboldening their resolve to preserve
the realm's purity. Those adept in physick are received by the Physicians to
address the ailings of demonic assaults on the citizenry, while Charali
return to their ancestral way of life. Residence in the Farin quarter is met
with generosity from highborn and low. Among those liberated and still in
chains, praise is spoken aloud or in whisper for their Lady Messiah.

In Farin, the presence of Baccanites remains, providing their blessing andexpertise for the monumental task of constructing Bastion's holy wall.
Tears flow as the free men of Bastion begin laying Tarn quartz, inspired by
the edified proof of what set them free. Now determined to protect their
home, ten thousand hands flank the cardinal directions, praying upon each
slab in an act of devotion.

As Bastion's inquisitorial see conducts Review of the Daravi who claim
conversion, all are burned at the pyre. Their souls committed to flames,
the borderlands reaches an interlude of peace and security. On the 3rd of
Maritus, 381, in what is now known as the Consecration, the en masse
cleansing lasts a day and night - so bright it is said to be seen from Farin
City.

Seeing that the hospital might need good supplies Adala Ab Chevalier has been
attempting to pull together some resources to send from her home in Mont
Innes to deliver to the hospital in Lithmore city. Her goal is to continue
sending supplies to the hospital owing to the fact that medicine has always
fascinated her. She wishes to let the city know that she enjoys charity work
and will continue to find ways to help as she can.

On a bright winter morning, word from the southmost duchy of Farin reach the
capital as hundreds of Orderites filter into the city. News of a swift and
decisive execution from the city of Bastion follow as Lady Marquessa Severine
de Bastion declared that those conspirators in support of the pretender
Beaufort were tried and found guilty of betraying the rightful Crown. The
sympathizers in question, who range from gentiles to less savoury ilk, were
brought before the law to answer for their crimes.

In unison, each of the men were drawn and quartered, as the onlooking crowd
cried for justice. After bloody executions came to a close, the traitor
heads were mounted on pikes outside Bastion's Eyrie for all to gaze upon.
Their carrion left as a reminder of the punishment awaiting those who desert
their Queen, any found holding similar sentiments are bound to meet the same
fate in the borderlands.

In the wake of the Asglen Crisis, Lady Severine de Bastion proclaimed that
the standard of House Bastion shall henceforth bear the griffon, reaffirming
solidarity and fealty to the true rulership of House Samael and Her Royal
Majesty.

On the 16th of Februarius, 381, Empena Astartes was led to River Square by
the Reeves and executed by hanging. Justiciar Ordo Patel announced that she
was found guilty of possession and sale of poisons and illegal drugs,
perjury, theft, obstruction of justice. Her crimes were considered
particularly egregious due to the number and variety of poisons in her
possession, and the theft of multiple keys to Ahalin Tower and the Reeve's
Headquarters, constituting a major violation of the security of the Reeves.

Witnesses at the execution whisper that the Grand Inquisitor arrived to
protest the execution on behalf of Church. More shockingly they murmur that
the accused was given no official last words but those that stood closest to
the gallows say between her lamentations the former Grand Inquisitor
whispered dire concern about the present demonic presence and that her final
word was simply a name - "Elyana."

On a quiet evening at the start of Aprilis, Grand Inquisitor Sibylle dul
Fontaine dragged a twitching, naked, and blood-covered youth from Ahalin to a
hasty assemblage in River Square. Strung up to a pole there, the young
Daniel ab Crawford made a grotesque show. Medical aid was unable to purge
the illness and save the young man, so the Grand Inquisitor gave the command
for the priests to begin the ritual, hastily cleansing the youth before
delivering a Mass to the people.

Word is filtering from the Palace that Her Royal Majesty's first suitor will
be visiting as scheduled in late Maius. While Lord ab Loguire's trip to the
capital has been in the planning stages for several months with help from the
Troubadours, the office of the Seneschal is increasingly keen on rousing more
interest and involvement among the general public, particularly for the hunt
that will be taking place at the King's Forest near Wilhelm.

Generous wages are being offered for a number of important goods and services
related to the event. The list of sought-after personnel includes but is not
limited to: capable cooks and brewers (for the food and drink), bowyers and
fletchers (for bows and arrows), florists or decorators (to make the Hunting
Lodge as attractive and inviting as possible), farriers (for horseshoes),
smiths and leatherworkers (for additional tools and tack), kennel masters or
breeders (for hunting dogs), and falconers (for hunting birds). Interested
parties are encouraged to contact either the Lord Seneschal the Lady
Chancellor within the next (IC) month or so.

An official public invitation to the hunt is likely to be circulated soon.
Given recent events, the Seneschal's office is expected to coordinate with
the Knights, Reeves, and Physicians in order to ensure the safety of Lord
Stanley ab Loguire and other guests during the various activities scheduled
for his visit. There may be some additional work available for part-time
guards and lookouts, as well.

Come to properly identify and collect the body of His wife, Empena Astartes,
to have it buried on the familial grounds, Rothgar Astartes made certain to
stop briefly in Ahalin and the Cathedral to host a 'chat' with those involved
with the hanging.

Assuring them that he -trusts- they "did the right thing," Astartes confirmed
that he will be taking care of the burial procedures entirely, mentioning
that they'd previously discussed plans should either of them be killed. With
that, the old Inquisitor gathered the body with little fanfare, presumably
holding his mourning process for a more appropriate time, heading back to
Vavard and what is now the Astartes familial Estate.

It was a late evening on the chilly cusp of Spring that Grand Inquisitor
Sibylle dul Fontaine led a young girl, Holly Ashwood, to the pyring post at
River Square. The girl was gently treated and apparently came through
willing Confession. After an invocation from the Grand Inquisitor to listen,
the Faithful assembled listened to the girl espouse a tender and earnest
religious appeal for prayer and Faith, while she herself looked forward to
joining the Springs.


It was before the torch was put to pyre, though, that Holly's eyes began to
glow red, springing forth bloody red tears. The Earl Marshall's own steed
began to weep the same way. The smoke from the flames formed a massive bat
over the River Square, and before the flames took her, Holly herself began to
grow such wings as well. Fortunately for all involved, though, the holy
flames consumed the woman in her entirety, and the Order was on hand to
quickly take charge of the Square again.

It was a dark afternoon, heavily covered by pregnant clouds, that Grand
Inquisitor Sibylle dul Fontaine led Ordo Patel from the depths of Ahalin. It
had been a month since his surrender to the Knights' arrest at the Grand
Inquisitor's order - a month since the public denial of the Grand
Inquisitor's order to stop the execution of Empena Astartes.

The Grand Inquisitor led the Faithful in a brief sermon on the insidious
nature of Taint and its ability to twist and deny the natures of good men and
women. She invited the former Justiciar to speak final words to the gathered
crowds, and was answered only with blasphemous yells about which body parts
the Lord of the Springs might kiss.

With that, the pyre was lit.

It was early on a brisk morning when a ship bearing the blue flag and golden

see such a prestigious looking Vavardi vessel arrive with little fanfare.
From it arrived a small delegation, including a young woman, clad in
expensive furs, that one could consider to be of some import amongst this
group, the Baroness Joanne dul Legrange. She boarded a carriage that had
been waiting which took her through the streets of the city and life on the
docks returned to normal once more.

Magnate. I believe that I am able to work in this position well, and I will
do all that I can to better serve the Crown, and this city."

Emarin dul Ghaan were seen dragging a tall hawk-nosed Vavardi man from
Nimrock Square to the Crossroads. One held a whip and an announcement by the
iron-and-gold clad man was made. The Justiciar clarified the man would face
five lashes for astonishing rudeness to Lord Quenten ab Blackwell, having
denied him access to the Vavardi Quarter.

He closed his statement reminding everyone of courtesy and their place in
society. A bloody spectacle took place, much to the screams and curses of
the person in question.

With the punishment doled out, the hawk-nosed man was unceremoniously
released and the crowd dispersed soon after.

a meeting with the Grand Masters council to discuss her resignation and
reassignment - and possible successor. After a long and fruitful career in
the position, it comes the time for someone else to take the mantle and lead

The Grand Masters thanked her for her service, and assigned her immediately
to command a newly created taskforce, the objective of such was not
mentioned. No rest for the wicked.
