Under a sky painted in crimson hues, the militia of Arabel gathered for the sombre task of executing the infected Wererat. Yet, before the first blow could fall, chaos descended upon the Kings Plaza like a tempest. A gang of criminals, driven by desperation or madness, launched a daring assault, plunging the square into a maelstrom of violence. Despite the valiant resistance of the mushroom-infected assailants, their defiance was ultimately quelled by the overwhelming numbers of the militia and the steadfast resolve of Arabel's citizens. What began as a single execution soon turned into a grim procession of four. Whispers of dread and despair spread through the streets, tales of bodies erupting into spores that infected the unwary and haunted the dreams of the brave. And yet, amid the darkness that threatened to engulf them, the heart of Arabel remained unyielding, a bastion of resilience and hope in the face of adversity. Though the night may have been tainted by blood and sorrow, the spirit of the city endured, a beacon of light shining defiantly against the shadows...

The Ethereal Women
The rumours of an ethereal, dark-clad lady visiting gravesites in the dead of night have stirred quite the intrigue and speculation among the locals. Some suggest she may simply be mourning the departed, paying her respects under the veil of darkness. Others, however, entertain the notion that she is a restless spirit, perhaps with unfinished business or a desire to continue her life's work beyond the grave.
Of course, there are always sceptics who dismiss such tales as the products of overactive imaginations or the hallucinations of inebriated individuals stumbling near the graveyard. Yet, cautionary whispers still circulate among those who reside in the vicinity of the burial grounds, advising them to keep a watchful eye and remain vigilant in the dead of night.

The Stranger
A mysterious figure, distinguished by his snowy white hair and peculiar attire, frequents Arabel's library on a regular basis. Often observed perusing a towering stack of history books, he delves into the depths of the tomes. After sating his thirst for knowledge, he quietly retreats to the east, vanishing into the shadowy embrace of the Hullack forest, leaving behind whispers of curiosity and intrigue in his wake.

I dont know what the protocol is but Sarevok has taken on the feedback and want to re-submit with revisions.

I'll feed it back to them. I feel like there is potentially something good there. But it needs a re-work.

Master_Sarevok/ Vortiger Maelgwyn / Tiefling
2: Applying for Tiefling
1. Tiefling/ Fighter/ LE/ Vortiger
(Minimal outward indicators, no reflection and hot to the touch, otherwise could pass for a human if careful.)3. Goals:
Vortiger believes himself derived from a distinguished infernal lineage and has all the innate rights of his human counterparts to rule. However, as a realist, he knows he cannot leverage this claim transparently for power.He recognises that to fulfill his ambitions he must align himself with a legitimised noble house. This might involve serving a blueblood figure like Corianne von Dorn in the first instance.
Vortigers aim is to undermine his chosen noble pa/matriarch so as they are a puppet front through which he can realise his birthright.
He will push shadow deals, intrigue, politicking, all perilously balanced on the revelation of his heritage and intentions.
Vortiger seeks to honour the memory of the fallen Duke and his forces by preserving their relics within the temple of Siamorphe, recognising their valour and nobility in the war.
This will require expeditions to Tilverton and the creation of new library records that portray Tilverton in a more positive light. Operating under the belief that history is often shaped by those who emerge victorious, he aims to restore some dignity to the fallen faith.
These are stepping stones towards Vortiger's ultimate ambition:
To liberate Arabel from the grasp of the Queen's court, weakening her authority and establishing a Court of Nobles to preside over Arabel.
5. Bio:
Vortiger, a devout follower of Siamorphe raised in Arabel, believes in the supremacy of the strong and the power in lineageWitnessing the chaos of Gondegal and the destruction of Eveningstar and Tilverton, he deems Arabel weak under a foolish monarchy.
After surviving the war against Tilverton and sensing a stirring in his blood, he returns to Arabel, driven by a sense of purpose to seek out a destiny he does not yet comprehend, but knowing that the weak need a strong noble ruler, one worthy of claiming the throne left vacant by the fallen Duke.

RE: Verk/ Pierre / Somewhere to rest his holy head
Yes please Puffy, that would be great. Again if its a work in progress it'll give the three lathanderites a background objective to restore.

RE: Verk/ Pierre / Somewhere to rest his holy head
My concern with Collinwood is its kinda out the way. With the smaller player base I can see it being an annoyance to use as you regular 'hang' spot. The 'reward' wont seem like much of a reward (I know that's subjective and may even come across as ungrateful but also, I feel, likely)
I get what you are saying with the Tymoran conflict however Pierre has been trying to put in the work to strengthen the bonds with that church, and with it being outside the city walls where Puffy has suggested it feels far enough out of Tymoras way.
But you guys have all the lore and experience so I'm happy to go with the flow.
