[HQ Ignorance] Scene 88: Heortland Spring

[Lev Lafayette]

The cold of the north is now held in check with the fresh breath of
        Orlanth. The Sun Dome templars, almost apologetic, explain how
        their
        contract with the Lunars was on the provisio that chaos would
        not be
        induced - and yet they brought the Crimson Bat. 
        
        Rotterex limps slightly, but grumpily complains any attention
        made
        towards him. "There is far worse about". And what the heroic
        rubble
        runner says is true; all about the field are the bodies of the
        dead and
        the near dead; the walking wounded and those too wounded to
        walk. Who
        shall the victors help? Their own kind? The neutral Templars?
        Their
        enemy? The chaotic Telmori? The blood of the wounded spills upon
        the
        ground and the earth seems to soak it up greedily, melting the
        deathly
        ice.
        
        A cry is heard from the rear; the original member of the Iron
        Ring who
        brought you here, Minaryth The Purple, calls you over. Trapped
        within a
        block of ice, almost in suspended animation, is the corpus of
        Kallyr
        Starbrow, leader of the Orlanthi uprising.
        
        
        
        PS: In answer to your question Loran, yes Hero Points can be
        spent,
        singularly and collectively, to improving the Banner's
        abilities; just
        like setting it up as the group's Guardian in the first place.
        Others
        (like Rikku) can add to it as well.
