Zach Fryar:
*widens eyes*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:...
Caldor Sel'for:
*drops his eyes to the floor*
Death Seeker of Culnul: He levies Lies against us!
Dione Ardul:
[brows draw together]
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Why would he do that Deathseeker?
Death Seeker of Culnul: He would have you turn on the Order of things, the very Judge!
Preferatii Styleos:

Regent Nathe:
*looks for Styleos to only give the word*
Preferatii Styleos:
*steeples his fingers the picture of wise calm*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:I have seen a combination of their work by a cave in ravenwatch. I was informed that A trinity had designed such a dark place in which monsters and demons trail from now and then.
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:The task of clearing it was sent to the noble Vanguard who helped ravenwtch before
Death Seeker of Culnul: Informed by whom, them? *waves a boney hand at the Magnus*
Orator Osric:Have you witnessed this trinity yourself sister, These are serious charges and more than hearsay is needed.
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:I was informed by one named Karis. She seems to have an understanding of such things that suprise me often.
Magnus Agent:
*Flicks tail*
Katherin Matron of Teshalia:
*twitches*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*winces*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:I give you the information, but of course you are the one who can do anything about it
Death Seeker of Culnul: *looks at the other priests in aghast disbelief and derision*
Dione Ardul:
[seems confussed]
Dione Ardul:
[nods along]
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:And ive heard information is rare these days sadly...
Orator Osric:Is this woman, Karis, here today to speak her charges herself?
Death Seeker of Culnul: Hearsay upon hearsay! You, Judge of Order, know that this cannot stand!
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:It seems not sir.
Orator Osric:This this testimony must be ignored at this time.
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*bows in respect* Yes sir
Orator Osric:Would anyone else speak upon this subject?
Brother Darius Aylomen:I can.
Shadowmage of Coloth: *cold, red eyes scan the crowd*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*sits back down*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*glares into the eyes of teh Shadowmage*
Orator Osric:Bother Darius is recognised
Braunwyn Ironback:
*frowns'*
Caldor Sel'for:
*face becomes a twist of anger eyes stay on the shadowmage*
Brother Darius Aylomen:There is without a doubt a cult that worships this so called trinity.
Magnus Counselor:
*flicks her eyes to the new entrant*
Brother Darius Aylomen:The thing that was my friend Marrent Arghivius is one of their priests.
Brother Darius Aylomen:He has spoken to me of it.
Bishop D'Alendel:
*looks saddened*
Brother Darius Aylomen:Wish my church to join him.
Regent Nathe:
*tenses at the name of the traitor*
Death Seeker of Culnul: More hearsay! And even so, why would our faith be condemned of it?
Death Seeker of Culnul: Many of your followers worship other gods!
Death Seeker of Culnul: The only thing claimed here is that some humans worship Canas as a god.
Death Seeker of Culnul: What allegations does that raise against the ordained churches?
Orator Osric:You wish to dispute that Marrent Arghivius, a favored priest of Culnul, has bowed before the Abomination?
Orator Osric:And has sought to lead others into heracy?
Death Seeker of Culnul: I would dispute that even if such allegations were true....
Death Seeker of Culnul: of a
former priest of the King of Gods....
Regent Nathe:
*cuts a glance to the newcomer*
Death Seeker of Culnul: that it should not in any way disfavor the Order of things.
Mila:And this is a suprise to anyone? That Marrent is the High Priest of Canas in Fort Phazzan? Why do you debate so for position wihthout giving the man his title, which everybody knows?
Death Seeker of Culnul: *eyes Styleos*
Preferatii Styleos:A former prist of Lochwar...raised to unlife by Culnul.
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:...
Caldor Sel'for:Unlife?
Mila
ead or alive. He is what he is.
Caldor Sel'for:The priest is dead?
Regent Nathe:He is a traitor to our Lord!
Death Seeker of Culnul: If his soul is turned, it is turned. And the Lord it was turned against...
Death Seeker of Culnul: should be held harmless!
Preferatii Styleos:A brave and faithful man in life. We are saddened by his fall.
Brother Darius Aylomen:
*nods*
Mila:That much is true, he is a traitor to you.
Mila:And no more than any other who has passed to the other side.
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*Looks over at the outspoken Mila*
Caldor Sel'for:If he bows to canas he is a traitor to us all. How does this conversation move us forward in destroying him ? I see the chasam "between the faithfull" becoming wider.
Orator Osric:So, your position is that Marrent, and his followers, act alone? Independant of the Cult of Culnul?
Mila:Agrval.
Mila:Marrent.
Mila:Aers.
Mila:Let us speak of that which we all know.
Mila:Before the eyes of the Gods it is all beared open.
Orator Osric:You wish to speak sister...approach the lectern and speak your name
Death Seeker of Culnul: My position is that he acts of an accord directed from outside our Church.
Death Seeker of Culnul: Absolutely.
Shadowmage of Coloth: *nods in agreement*
Brother Darius Aylomen:
*nods in agreement*
Mila:
*Aproaches the lectern*
Mila:I am Mila, Bride of Tharon.
Mila:And I know Marrent Arghivius to be a Vampire and a Servant of Canas.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*nods to Trajin*
Mila:
*Nods and steps away from the lectern*
Orator Osric:This does not seem to be in dispute
Mila:
*Hesitates and returns*
Orator Osric:The question is, is there any evidence of an unholy pact between the cults of Culnul, Coloth and the Abomination?
Mila:I know Lord Agraval to be a servant of Canas, though he makes his home in Peace in Lendose.
Orator Osric:An unholy Trinity
Shadowmage of Coloth: *red eyes cast about again*
Mila:
*Nods* Aye, I believe this to be true, but I will not say why.
Caldor Sel'for:
*not as quiet as before* ....yes i think he see's you too....
Pastor Phareus:
*frowns at the mention of Agraval in Lendoes*
Mila:For if I traveled the
waypoints between this world and theirs, well....
*blushes* I would neve do such a thing.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*nods very slightly*
Mila:I would be undone, for my blade would act incautiously, were ever I put in that position.
Magnus Agent:
*watches the Shaowmage carefully*
Shadowmage of Coloth:
Eier rén k'aithe th mem-âthvâr niqu ill nall ko heár lérhe l gû lál na. Liquár he niár hethrén quon lá me ho ho on mem-âthvâr ho k'aérm-âthvârqu lérhe essequon meq'aér nilhû gû lirhû ill k'am-â lir?
Mila:
*Makes the sign of the True Gods and backs off the podium*
Orator Osric
lease sister, if you have any proof, speak it here in the safety of your brothers and sisters in faith
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:ah....
*flinches a bit*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*winces at the Shadowmage's words*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:If i may sir
Orator Osric:
Rebukes the Shadow Mage in a language that leaves the listeners with ringing ears
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*winces again*
Caldor Sel'for:
*approaches slowly and waits to be recognized*
Shadowmage of Coloth: *makes a sound that could either be a sigh or a hiss... hard to tell*
Caldor Sel'for:
*removes his hood so everyone can see his face*
Orator Osricoes anyone else wish to speak on this topic...I remind you hearsay is not admissable. These are serious charges.
Mila:
*Tunes into the movement, but looks at his *** and immediately determines he's some kind off elf*
Mila:You deny that Marrent has gone to the enemy?
*Titlts head*
Caldor Sel'for:My name is Caldor, and I bring no charges against anyone but pose a searious question to the enclave
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:...
Orator Osric:Your question is germane to the Conclave?
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*nods very slightly*
Caldor Sel'for:If a plan was gto be created ont his day to rid our world of canas does anyone have doubts that the Culnul and Coloth represenatives would share the infomration with the enemy?
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*blinks at the streak of Blue*
Magnus Agent:
*motions gene away*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*motions Gene to the far wall*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*stays silent*
Caldor Sel'for:Canas is strong and any chance we have depends a great deal on suprise. If there is any real chance they work with him...they should not be allowed to attend.
Death Seeker of Culnul: Perhaps it is the will of this conclave that we be removed...
Death Seeker of Culnul: that you may plot against us?
Death Seeker of Culnul: Is that your will brothers and sisters?
High Priest Thorpe, Devout of Rhauth: *shakes head*
Orator Osric:There is, at this time no proof of a conspiracy between these cults
Braunwyn Ironback: *shakes head*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:What manner of proof do you seek if i may ask?
Orator Osric:I have heard much evidence of individuals who have stepped into heracy
Marie Odari: I've no will to see members of the faith removed from our discussion.
Caldor Sel'for:
*steps back to his previous spot*
Orator Osric:
*looks at Cel* Would you be prepared to be judged of a crime based upon only hearsay, Celestia of Rel?
Caldor Sel'for:
*holds back a laugh*
Mila:
*Takes a half step forward, hand on hip*
Orator Osric:
*waits*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:Sir. I only ask of what in spacific you are seeking. Does this only need be physical evidence?
Ayis Gheris Flameward of Tyrak: Like the last five decades? We're quite used to it.
Ayis Gheris Flameward of Tyrak: It was enough to expel us from this council, perhaps it should still be...
Katherin Matron of Teshalia:
*hides a smile*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*smiles slightly*
Orator Osric:
*shoots a look at Ayis*
Orator Osric:We will discuss your circumstance in time Brother Gheris.
Orator Osric:The law of Etoth is clear. Coloth and Culnul, and their followers, are members of the patheon we all worship.
Ayis Gheris Flameward of Tyrak: *removes her helm, revealing a bald but effeminate head* It is Sister.
Dione Ardul:
[jumps a bit]
Mila:The Falcons are ready to make war against our common enemy
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*looks at the woman with blades drawn*
Ayis Gheris Flameward of Tyrak: *replaces her helm*
Regent Nathe:
*readies his mace*
Mila:This is our faith
Orator Osric:Let any, who have first hand proof, that there is a conspiracy speak now.
Disguised
Darion Crimson:...enough.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Orator, if I may spear to the conclave?
Disguised
Darion Crimson:I would like to speak, Oratot.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:peak

Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*looks at mila*
Caldor Sel'for:
*stares in disbelief at crimson*
Caldor Sel'for:
*eyes cut to celes*
Dione Ardul:
[stills seems rather focused on the drawn weapons]
Orator Osric:
*gestures to Firin to approach and speak* Your name Brother?
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:Mila...your weapons...
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:I am Vanguard Captain Firin D'Adlaer, one of the trio that leads the Free Vanguard against Canite forces on a daily basis
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*smiles at firin*
Dione Ardul:
[holds hands up then slowly brings them down in a sign of peace]
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*waits, eyes on the Orator, for acknowledgement*
Regia Filia Sabrina:
*looks at Firin and murmurs something to her Counselor*
Orator Osriclease speak.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Thank you.
[-DM Shade-] DM Shade:
*stares at Firin*
Caldor Sel'for:
*wonders how the vanguard is considered free yet considers themselves mercaneries but decides to not speak*
Death Seeker of Culnul: *stares at Firin*
Magnus Agent:
*looks interested on the so disguised Crimson*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:I have witnessed in my countless battles the forces we have named the Canites. I have, as other have, witnesses the fallen priest marrent arghivius attack friends and allies. However, it is not my own personal evidence I bring to the conclave today.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:But a recollection, and a question.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:First and foremost the recollection. While I may err on this as it lays dormant months in the past...
Coadjutor Konoxus:
*looks at Darion with a concerned look upon his face*
Disguised
Darion Crimson:
*Looks down and closes his eyes*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:I have been informated that the Princess herself
*turns abd bows slightly to Sabrina* has informed us of the Culnulite and Colothian connection to the Canites when she informed us of her Father's fall to Canas
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:The very same creature we are led to believe, is the same one the Free Vnaguard fights against currently
Death Seeker of Culnul: Again, there is no question that followers of ALL the churches defected.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Yet there is a difference Deathseeker
Death Seeker of Culnul: The church of Lochwar and our formally worshipped Emperor, for example
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:The followers of the other fell from being risen to undeath
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Or by the Mindworm
Death Seeker of Culnul: *eyes Styleos again*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaerowerful forces that force compliance
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:However, I defer to the Princess on this speculation, and how she came to the knowledge that culnulites and colothians smuggled in the creature that corrupted the Emperor
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:She, unlike us, came from the Capital.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*turns to the Princess*
Death Seeker of Culnul: You levy allegations against the very gods themselves!
Orator Osricrincess?
Regia Filia Sabrina:Orator, it is true that I, and many of those who escaped the capital witnessed followers of Coloth and Culnul leading the attack, I can not say whether they did so of their own free will.
Regia Filia Sabrina:
*looks at the Shadowmage and Deathseeker coolly*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaerrincess, did you see any others in the attack? Or was it primarily the followers of Coloth and Culnul?
Death Seeker of Culnul: *miles coolly in return*
Death Seeker of Culnul: We appreciate your candor, Princess. *bows deeply*
Caldor Sel'for:
*eyes sammil as he enters*
Brother Darius Aylomen:May I say something?
Regia Filia Sabrina:You speak of a the Mindworm Vanguard. Can you say who is, and is not under its control?
Exemplar:
*shuffles nervously*
Regent Nathe:
*shoots a glance to the Exemplar*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:While I have had experience combating the mind controlling powers of the Mindworm Princess, I am unable to tell who is and is not under its control. However... My point was not on who was under the control of the Mindworm
Caldor Sel'for:
*notices the shuffle *
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:But rather, who in general was aiding the Canites
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Why, I must ask, would the mindworm choose specific religions?
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:faiths
**
Caldor Sel'for:Could the paladins not detect an evil controlling a nother?
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Why would he choose to target those of the cult of Culnul, or Coloth over another?
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:It would seem to me that there must be something about them specifically that would cause them to be easier targets for its control, or otherwise it is their own free will
Vanguard Sammil Card:
*notices the wine on the table*
[DM Sanguinity] DM Sanguinity:
*Looks at Firin the at the accused and speaks almost as if unwillingly* How better to sow distrust?
Shadowmage of Coloth: *stares at Firin, red eyes visibly searing*
Vanguard Sammil Card:
*pours himself a glass*
Death Seeker of Culnul: So you claim that only the weak succumb to being overcome by Canas?
{Thralls Gate Exemplar} Exemplar:
*frowns*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*ignores the Death Seeker*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaerrincess.
Death Seeker of Culnul: HERE STANDS OUR ACCUSER!
Vanguard Sammil Card:
*takes up the cup*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:How better? How better a creature bestow distrust then by being able to control any?
Death Seeker of Culnul: CLAIMING THE EMPEROR WEAK, A MERE FALLOW OF A MAN!
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Be silent Death Seeker.
Death Seeker of Culnul: CORRUPTED BY CANAS WITH EASE!
Vanguard Sammil Card:
*leans on the table*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:You speak treason Death Seeker, you will be silent.
Shadowmage of Coloth: Enough of the allegations, Judge. Surely there is something to do here?
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*turns back to the Princess*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaerrincess. Is it not easy to sow distrust simply by being able to control any?
Dione Ardul:
[is nudged aside--breaks concentration a moment to find new footing]
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Why choose to sow distust by selecting specific individuals when they could gain a more powerful army by variation?
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Thus I suggest that much of the Mindworm's power is taken upon a few, a few powerful individuals such as the Emperor
Regia Filia Sabrina:Vanguard, all who did no flee fell under Canas' sway. I saw followers of Coloth and Culnul it is true.
*smiles tearfully* But I also saw mothers slay their children and faithful servants there masters.
[Andy] Gene Starlight:
*wonders to herself if Canas had inside help*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*frowns*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*nods* I am sorry to ask Princess
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Thus orator. I come to my question
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:I am will acknowledge I am not a formost knowledge on the divine.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Thus I must ask a simple question.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Can we not ask the Gods and Goddess of any faith for the truth about these two cults?
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Surely if they swear in the name of all the Gods and Goddess that they do not worship Canas...
Vanguard Sammil Card:
*sips the wine*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:I do not know if the gods choose to strike down heretical liers. But that strikes me as an efficient method of determining their faith
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:liars
**
Pastor Phareus: Did he say 'ask the gods'?
Brother Darius Aylomen:I have prayed on this many times, Vanguard. No answer has ever been revealed to me.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Nay Pastor.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:What I ask Pastor... Is that they swear to the gods upon death and a most painful everlasting existence that they do not worship Canas
Preferatii Styleos:
*mildly* Surely is this is a heretical pact.. then the followers of Culnul and Coloth would be able to day, in good faith
*smiles cooly at Firin* that they do not worship Canas
{Thralls Gate Exemplar} Exemplar:
*looks over shoulder*
Orator Osric:Thank you for your thoughts brother
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*nods and bows slightly*

Darion Crimson:A while ago, i tailed a shadowy woman in Cear.
Darion Crimson:She led me to a secret temple of Culnul... hidden in a basement in the Trades and Commons.
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*eyes widen a bit*
Darion Crimson:There, i was spotted and ambushed by none other than Marrent Arghivius and his people.
Dione Ardul:
[seems shocked]
Darion Crimson:I was brought through a portal there, to a temple near Fort Phazzan.
Caldor Sel'for:
*lisitens waiting for a lie to emerge*
Darion Crimson:There, i witnessed Arghivius preach... and i saw three statues behind him.
Darion Crimson:Arghivius mentioned the Unholy Trinity...
Darion Crimson:I was then strapped to an altar, and tortured.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:

Lightbringer Celestia Domina:...
Orator Osric:

Darion Crimson:In the name of Kingsford, i swear i speak the truth.
Orator Osric:And this was done in the name of "the unholy Trinity"?
Darion Crimson:Yes, Orator.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*moves away from the Magnus*
Preferatii Styleos:
*clears his throat*
Death Seeker of Culnul: He says nothing new! He only makes claims of this cult of Marrent.
Brother Darius Aylomen:
*nods*
Darion Crimson:And yet i stand before you, when i could have chosen to be free.
Preferatii Styleos:
*mildly* would hear the name of this witness
Darion Crimson:With all due respect... i already spoke my name.
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*closes her eyes and says a silent prayer*
Preferatii Styleos:In full

Darion Crimson:I have brought you my evidence...
Caldor Sel'for:

Dione Ardul:
[glance-glance--slightly uneased]
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*glares at caldor*
Darion Crimson:You forget the legends, mage..
*Scoops up his tunic*
Darion Crimson:
*Puts it on*
Darion Crimson:An oath sworn in Dragonic cannot be broken. It will persist even through death.
Orator Osric:I will have silence. It is unseemly to speak in tongues in this place. All must hear and understand the proceedings.
Dione Ardul:
[strong nod!]
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:To my knowledge, he does speak the truth and that vows in Draconic cannot be broken.
Preferatii Styleos:If I may?
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:I second Firin
Brother Darius Aylomen:
*shakes his head*
Preferatii Styleos:
*waits the soul of patience*
Orator Osric:
*nods*
Caldor Sel'for:
*shoots firin a dry smile*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*smirks and shakes his head slightly at Caldor*
Preferatii Styleos:
*stands* I for one believe this halfman.
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*smiles*
Darion Crimson:
*Looks at Styleos with a hint of surprise*
Preferatii Styleos:The fact that he has sacraficed his life to stand hear tells me he speaks the truth.
Priest of Lochwar:
*jaw drops*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*smirks*
Preferatii Styleos:It may be that his bravery will go someway toward undoing his many,many, evil acts when he goes before Peralia
Preferatii Styleos:This very day.
Preferatii Styleos:
*sits*
Dione Ardul:
[seems skeptical]
Orator Osric:
*the three Orators go into a huddle*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*frowns deeply*
Orator Osric:
*steps forward*
Darion Crimson:
*Takes a deep breath*
Death Seeker of Culnul: *eyes Darion with a sneer*
Orator Osric:There has long been precident that even a accursed oath breaker, who willing forfits his life, may be recognised as speaking the truth, his sacrafice giving weight to his words.
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*holds her pommel wih deep concern*
Orator Osric:In revealing yourself here today we judge that you have make such a sacrifice, your words will stand against the cults of Culnul and Coloth. Peralia have mercy on your soul.
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:Wait..may i sir...please
Shadowmage of Coloth: *folds his arms into his shadowy cloak with a hiss/sigh*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:Before he is judged...
Darion Crimson:
*Lowers his head and closes his eyes*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*breathing seems to intensify*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*Looks at Osric and Stylos*
Preferatii Styleos:
*looks saddened*
Caldor Sel'for:
*looks to firin seemingly asking advice*
Orator Osric:
*looks...masked*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:Ive seen this man do many deeds to save even ONE person. He fights and bleeds for this land in his attempt to stop canas and bring peace.
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:He could not have done the murder...Ive seen the mosnster that consumed him. How it was destroyed
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:Ive seen this mind monster at work
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:He was but a victem!
Orator Osric:Monster Celestia of Rel?
Vanguard Karethias Tyrad:can i join you?
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:Yes! He was consumed by this Mindworm that Firin spoke of. One of the victems.
Magnus Agentut away that weapon! You are in the presence of the Princess!
Magnus Agent:
*hisses and points her staff towards Darion*
Exemplar:Get back man!
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Karethias, weapon away
Darion Crimson:

Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*Keeps an honest gaze at the orator* He was saved by a dragon
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:He was saved by the love of Kingsford!
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:THe one that fought for these langs!
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*lands*
Caldor Sel'for:abd it seems his honesty will be just enough....to get him killed
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*motions Karethias to his left*
Coadjutor Konoxus:
*nods everso slightly*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:If there truly is balance...and he is sentenced to death...will there truly be such order for one who did so many good deeds compared to ONE deed that wsas not even his own?
Vanguard Karethias Tyrad:
*looks to everyone*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:How can he be judged for such! Ive seen his light!
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*eyes water a bit* he is a great man who wants more than he can achieve alone!
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*grabs his shoulder and pushes him agains thet wall*
Priest of Lochwar:As the murdered family did see also
Vanguard Karethias Tyrad:whats happening here?
Death Seeker of Culnul:I think she speaks great sense.
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:many have tried to stop him...
Death Seeker of Culnul:Any pocessed by this..mindworm? should be forgiven
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:Ive been by his side...
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:Fought with him and always been near him!
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:He has angered many people!
Shadowmage of Coloth:
Yessss pardons for everyone
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:Many enemie!
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:Karethias
*points next to him* Stand there
Magnus Counselor:
*surround the princess*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*nods at Karethias* Good. Shh.
Death Seeker of Culnul:Well Orator?
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*Looks at the culnul agent*
Death Seeker of Culnul:This poor man is obviously a victim
Darion Crimson:
*Looks to the Shadowmage and the Death seeker, now with green eyes* Ruhana naha Fæ Sâ. ha zizz s'sarha Kà Ki Ra ra nahaz z il- f's Fúz il-na zna Hîil.
Caldor Sel'for:Was it not agreed that the agents of vulnul and Coloth could not be trusted ?
Dione Ardul:
[shakes her head, duly]
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:He is but a victim..
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*glares at Karethias*
Brother Darius Aylomen:Shouldn't this man be arrested and tried later? Don't we have more important things to discuss than the fate of this
man?
Vanguard Karethias Tyrad
ops
Exemplar:
*seems to wait for orders*
Vanguard Karethias Tyrad:
*smiles*
Vanguard Sammil Card:Fiirn.
Preferatii Styleos:Ahem
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*Looks back to styleos*
Vanguard Sammil Card:I would agree, Brother Darius.
Dione Ardul:
[glances at these movements--then focuses on Brother Darius]
Preferatii Styleos:I do not think the Vanguard will be taking Crimson into custody today...
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*blinks a few times*
Darion Crimson:So would I... this is not about me.. this is about the Unholy Trinity.
Darion Crimson:I regret that it came to a discussion about me...
Preferatii Styleos:There is rather too much circumstanial evidence that their loyalties are conflicted where his is involved.
Caldor Sel'for:
*frowns*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:...
Vanguard Sammil Card:Seeing as how the Preferati has not placed this man under formal arrest. In the name of Queen Nelina, and under contract of same. I place you, Darion Crimson, under arrest. To be tried in a magistrate's court, and delivered forthwith to the Cearian
Magnus Counselor:As he is a part blood... the Magnus will take custody
Vanguard Sammil Card:Fleet to await such.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*nods*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*eyes widen*
Vanguard Sammil Card:
*snaps tha the Magnus* His arrest has been made.
Caldor Sel'for:
*eyes the princess*
Magnus Counselor:
*looks at Sammil and Styelos* I trust there are no objections to our impartially
Caldor Sel'for:there are
Dione Ardul:
[glance glance glance]
Vanguard Sammil Card:
*snaps back to Styleos* You would challenge a contract with our Queen and Empress?
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*Looks at the Princess with nervous eyes then Firin*
Caldor Sel'for:as he is a half blood...the order is as likely to cut on him worse than the cults if they get a chance.
Darion Crimson:Your highness...I would beg you to make the decision. You are after all, the daughter of our noble Queen.
Darion Crimson:No one can doubt you.
Regia Filia Sabrina:
*looks cooly at Sammil*
Vanguard Sammil Card:Your Highness.
Dione Ardul:
[sighs at all of the posturing]
Regia Filia Sabrina:He is a partblood? Then imperial law is clear, and my mother has not yet changed it. He is the Magnus Orders responsibility.
Magnus Agent:
*smirks*
Darion Crimson:
*Bows his head* So be it...
Vanguard Sammil Card:
*nods*
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*nods*
Magnus Counselor:
*nods to one of the Agents*
Vanguard Sammil Card:To your custody then, Highness.
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:ah....
*covers her mouthwith her hands*
Darion Crimson:Justice and honor... untill the end.
Darion Crimson:Storm and Vengeance.
Magnus Agent:
*chants*
Darion Crimson is ringed with magical force and vanishes
Braunwyn Ironback:Have faith lass. Some come back..
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*nods to Crim*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*feels her heart racing intensly and sits down feeling faint*
Vanguard Sammil Card:
*winks at him*
Dione Ardul:
[shakes her head, slowly]
Dione Ardul:
[then refocuses on Styleos]
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*her eyes look around the room as if lost then to styleos*
Preferatii Styleos:I believe we have evidence that there is a conspiracy
*smirks at the Shadowmage* Unless you have someon will to die to refute it?
Death Seeker of Culnul: You have accepted evidence... of worship by a cult.
Death Seeker of Culnul: Our church will accept that these allegations are made, and believed.
Preferatii Styleos:So let us talk about consequences then...
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*stands firm in the doorway*
Orator Osric:Etoth's law on heracy is clear...there is only one sentence for proven herecy, as you know Preferatii.
Preferatii Styleos:Yes... I believe you are right.
Preferatii Styleos:I move, that until the question of the loyatly of our brethran of Coloth and Culnul can be answered, that there are removed to a place of questioning. Least they be agents of the enemy.
Caldor Sel'for:
*blinks in disbelief...as he suggested that hpours ago*
Shadowmage of Coloth: All that has been alleged is the existence of a cult of worshippers.
Shadowmage of Coloth: *draws a hissing breath*
Orator Osrico any here object, or offer alternative council, other than the accused?
Shadowmage of Coloth: This Council should order such worshippers, wherever found...
Brother Darius Aylomen:I have something to add.
Shadowmage of Coloth: be questioned, and their faith challenged.
Orator Osric:
*nods to Darius*
Shadowmage of Coloth: But those of the true and faithful followers of Culnul and Coloth...
Shadowmage of Coloth: are not challenged here, nor have they been.
Brother Darius Aylomen:We agree that Canas is not a god. And that those who worship him are heretics.
Orator Osric:
*nods*
Brother Darius Aylomen:A heretic cannot be a faithful of Culnul or Coloth.
Orator Osric:And those who follow Culnul or Coloth and acknowldege Canas as a god and support his followers.. how would you judge them Borther Aylomen?
Brother Darius Aylomen:If you beleive in this unholy trinity you are a heretic.
Brother Darius Aylomen:I do not beleive in it.
Orator Osric:I believe then that we are in accord. On this point
Brother Darius Aylomen:I have seen this so called sect of Culnul worshippers attack the Temple of Peralia.
Brother Darius Aylomen:I do not beleive Culnul would support an attack on his queen. I therefore beleive that those men were heretics and not the truely faithful of Culnul.
Brother Darius Aylomen:Be cautious not to group them all together.
Shadowmage of Coloth: *nods* The priest of the Protector speaks the truth.
Preferatii Styleos:A distasteful issue to be sure. And I give you all my personal assurance that I will assure you that the faithful of the Lord of Secrets will root this rot out where ever we find it.
Brother Darius Aylomen:Amen.
Preferatii Styleos:Starting with those two.
Preferatii Styleos:Escourt them to the cells
Brother Darius Aylomen:Have faith brothers and you will be judged justly.
Vanguard Firin D'Adlaer:
*stands by the door, preventing escape while waiting for Exemplars to follow orders*
Exemplar:
*strides forward*
Shadowmage of Coloth: You have no power over us, priest. I call a vote of the council.
Vanguard Sammil Card:
*raises eyebrow*
Shadowmage of Coloth: We came to hear each other, not the edicts of one.
Preferatii Styleoso not fear my brothers, it will take no time at all to prove your personal innocence I am sure. Then you may return to our councils shorn of any taint of guilt.
The followers of Culnul and Coloth are escourted from the room by Lochwarian Exemplars, none too gently
Preferatii Styleos:Thus is justice served
Caldor Sel'for:
*speaks quietly* i didnt think they would ever leave eaither...
Brother Darius Aylomen:
*looks at the Orators*
Marie Odari: *mutters to her sides*
Priest of Ineania: *whispers to the priestess behind him*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*her body shakes a bit*
Saeyva Priestess of Winter: *murmurs with her sisters*
Braunwyn Ironback: *frowns in dismay*
Lightbringer Celestia Domina:
*looks up at ayis*
Orator Osric:So be it. It is the burden of the faithful to watch our brothers and sisters of Coloth and Culnul. Should you find proof of their herecy, your task is clear.
Ayis Gheris Flameward of Tyrak: *smiles at Cel and nods approvingly*
Orator Osric:Thus is the law of Etoth.
