The Cult of Murrain / Talona

@Man-in-the-Mist
Dear brothers and sisters
The presence and actions of the Murrain, has grown so great that they "deserve" a file of their own.I have returned, to you, my family. I recall little, before I woke, hands and feet tied, somewhere in the vast swamp. They treated me... oddly, yet I was not mistreated, as one might expect. It was evident that Adam, their priest, wanted to use me for something. Yet as the days passed, i am not certain if he succeeded, or failed. At any rate, they brought me to Tilverton yesterday, and sold me as a bargaining chip to the Butler. Talona will be given a shrine in the city, and Lord Misrim sold me back to Lord Belon for a price I do not yet know.
However, something is.. off. I have never grow sick, since I first donned the plate of The Aster. Not in the many years I served as a squire in Archendale, did I ever catch a cold. Yet now... my stomach growls, and something is off. I have found myself prone to anger, as Argun witnessed yesterday, clearing the tower. I am not sure what, but something has followed me from the swamp, and I fear what it may be.

I know not what curse or taint you may have had forced upon you by these cretins, but know this Dawnknight, I will stand as your pillar and foundation as we seek remedy to your ails. Trust in Lathander and the strength he provides.

The Murrain have challanged me to a bout of single combat, me against their champion Hans. I've accepted and, should I prevail, I will be able to demand one task for them to fulfill in the Morninglord's name. I have some idea what we could ask for, but I would appreciate your interests.

What will they ask of you in return? And what terms have you accepted?Eve

They offered to beat me with an old sword. No doubt some manner of symbolism to their dark godess.

Be careful. I have updated our list of exiles, and placed the Murrain on it, at least the members we know are not welcome amongst us. I have added Mouth, because who are we kidding, the man is as much a member as any of the others.Eve

I won the duel, and as per the terms, I was given an ask. My ask was that whatvever befell Dawnknight Evelyn Stillwater when she fell to, and was raised by, the Murrain be undone, they have pledged to do so.

Boys,
With the war behind us, it is time we refocus our efforts. And in my prayers this eve, Lathander granted me an idea, for how to get some good out of all of this debacle.With Theron winning his duel, and the Murrain lifting my curse, perhaps we can truly use this momentum to put them back on the right path. Could you convince the Council, to lift the bounty and exile of the Murrain, if they swear on Talona, that they will focus their efforts and prowess into lifting the curse of the Deadwell with us?
Doing so, will have them be granted penance for their crimes against Lathander and Elora, and we can help the people of Bospir in the process.
What do you reckon? Can you convince the council of such a solution?

I think that is a great suggestion. I've brought it before the council as the suggestion of the House of the Morning.
