[HQ Ignorance] Scene Seven: The Return to Sogolotha Mambrola

[Lev Lafayette]

[This is a minor scene; on opportunity for characters
to resolve any lose ends whilst in civilization. I'll
move on to the next scene on late Monday eve - my
time]

The journey back to Sogolotha Mambrola was mixed;
discovering the secrets of the Nameless Man certainly
raised the resolve and strenth of the fellowship, but
the sadness of the loss of El Grim could not be
curtailed. The works of the healer Jareena helped
Ureban's fellow, Vicetor, who recovered fully after
some days.*

A stately funeral was held for El Grim of Loksalm,
Knight of the Order of the Swallow. A number of women
warriors from also arrived, led by Grim's widow, Roxan
and even the Grand Knight, the HeroQuester, Meritian.
They sang his praises, and expressed gratitude to his
commitment and depth of spirit. Banners unfurled, the
let out a mighty shout of praise that echoed
throughout the lands. Then they left, silently, with
his ancestral sword Tizon still in scabbard aside his
giant warhorse.

The Vice Chancellor of the University, Pelinorius
Stäarki, who had watched much of the encounter through
the seeing stones, was fascinated by your account. He
was particularly impressed with the bravery and
commitment of Judge Kraken in challenging the Nameless
Man* Initially he spoke of great possibilities, the
chance to bring abolish sin and mortality
simultaneously and even the possibility of
incorporating the pagan cults into a montheistic
perspective. But such speculations were shortlived.
The dire warnings of the Nameless Man could not go
unheeded.

"All of you must go Bad Deal, where the first clue for
the knowledge of the axe. That much is obvious. Go
south to Salona and then into Junora and rest at the
town of Salisor. After that travel to Orikarnia in
Jonatela. Beware of possible incursions from Molene by
the Kingdom of War. Do not enter the lands still under
the Syndics Ban near Okarnia."

In the cool wind of that eve, as she mediated in the
parklands, a runner appeared in front of Icthya,
carrying a large package which she claimed has arrived
from Erontree. Inside it contains thousands of seeds
for deciduous trees and a copper trowel with Fertility
and Plant runes. "You know what to do", said the
Runner.


* An opportunity to spend a Hero Point for Ureban to
strengthen his relationship with Vicetor. Also an
opportunity for Jareena to increase her Heal Chaos
Affinity. An opportunity for Judge Kraken to open
"Brave".
