After the aftermath of literally standing against the tide of darkness, deceit, and destruction with those who have the courage to prevent the further foulment and toxicity of our world….
Kellenor goes to the Lady Aleith…
“It would seem times are changing at a rapid pace. The month of war has given us new peoples who need guidance opportunity and purpose. I assure you as these worshipers of Madriel reform and rekindle their faith there is no better place to to do so than the scar. There they may find the beauty of life and compassion for diversity of difference, being a place of natural wonderment and healing a wound to be reformed stronger and wiser than was there before…”
“ Arifel has also granted permission to set up a temple to the goddess and gather acolytes, also as able defenders they would serve well as well. Sending spells if your presence is not readily available, shall be sent to you regarding the formations that take place to help keep it as harmonious as possible with the nature of the place as you wish…”
He then goes to Sir Richard—
“ brother of faith, I do feel your help in reestablishing the faith of these people will not only assist them but perhaps also you as you yourself are going through changes. Some would say “misery loves company” but I would rather believe “a leader’s strength is not made of might but the trust of those who support them” come…. help me heal them and perhaps even heal those doubts and sorrows that seem to worry you.”
The knight/priest then gathers the group of necromancers and dark knights, the paladin, the forsaken ranger, and together . those who come stand before the butter monks with Kellenor at the center.
He takes out the censor and holds It aloft
“ it is the second time in my existence the goddess herself has fit to spare my mortal life. She came herself to mercify Morlin Torchbringer and brought him home to reside within her in care. Bless him….”
“Not as he was a heretic, for he was truly devoted, but perhaps his balance of moral priorities may have been swayed to disproportion.”
“He has earned his place in the afterlife in the ever glorious light. Now where shall your legacy and equally devoted faiths lead?”
“Madriel has spoken to me of the imbalance of Molin so there is possibility the Order of the Cleansing Flame is in questionable favor as well. No doubt the intention of your faith is well placed. And she is ever merciful and unwilling to throw away life unnecessarily.”
“Will you, brothers and sisters of our beloved goddess come with me to a place with a history of wounds, with life surrounded by waste, to assist it to scar and heal and reform to a place of beauty?”
“I stand before you in good company. Yes we are different and not all agreed on all things. But our purpose is within agreement. The river swells and thins with the seasonal change. as do the severities of what is a holy ambition or a fiendish desire. The river may change course with the collapse of a mountain so to must our own morals be questioned and possibly altered with time and circumstance.”
“Madriel has sacrificed so much in the trials of eternal war to save us this world to reside in. Let us go forth and talk of the faiths of our orders, and converse over past, present, and future to together find the best path to walk through life.”
“If you will come on this journey, go and gather belongings, travel supplies, and tools to heal and rebuild. But mind you, we travel light and leave quickly. To the wasteland to blur our destination, and on to salvation.”
- He waits as they clear out. And to those of the party who are present…
“We must give them a chance to show their willingness to see the possibility of a more compassionate future. Else we are as bad as they with ignorant guidelines. oppression will always come after ignorant guidelines.”
“But stay vigilant, the loss or adjustment of faith can be traumatic. And trauma is often projected outward. But have faith. The goddess is with us.”
