[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene 11b: The Journey to Fiesive

You are granted audience with the Archbishop Surantyr,
 an aging wiry man with alert eyes and an active
demeanor. His clothing, his audience chamber, his
furnishings - all indicate a man with extremely
spartan tastes. You are alone with the Archbishop."

"I have heard of your quest, Azhur Sinnerbane of the
Order of the Sparrow. You seek to reunite the Three
Weapons of Talor, but why you have come here, I do not
know."

"We may be of the same religion, but we are of
different Churches. I greet you are a brother of the
Invisible hand that guides all that is good. But you
do not venerate the opponents of the Devil as we do.
That is a grave and serious failing on your part."

"The One True God has provided others to fight against
chaos. Malkion is one such deity, the bringer of the
Word. Hrestol is another. As is Orlanth, the
Lightbringers. And.." - his voice falls to a hush
which neverthless carries across the room - "... so is
Arkat Chaosbane".

"We don't just let anyone into the rooms of our
ancient manuscripts, you know".

It would seem that although Azhur has tried to avoid
confrontation, eventually it has caught up with him...
