My Lord Belon, Argun, Theron,
I see no reason why we should change our laws, simply because some ignorant cultists and back alley thugs in a uniform, try to force our hand.
They are not allowed citizenship in Arabel, and I find it hard to believe that such laws were made without just cause.
Our laws have merit. Those who are cursed with infernal blood, or are decendants of foul dragons, are naturally disposed towards cruelty. That is not a statement, that it factual. I imagine if we took a close look towards the actions of adventurers of such bloodlines, we will find that a majority of them have in various ways, made life worse for the general populace, not better.

We offer to teach them how to control their worst impulses and tendencies towards cruelty, by living a life in the Light that is Lathander. Or we ask them to leave, and find a home somewhere else. Why should we risk the well being of our populace, by giving in to the demands from these cultists?

Our laws even give us the opportunity to grant celemency, if these... people show that they can control themselves.

Our laws are just. I see no desire to change them, for to do so, is to invite darkness into our town, and I see no reason for doing so.

Boys,
How goes the work with getting the bloody ban lifted from the Historic District. Are the Precepts still focusing on upholding it?

It is not that I mind terribly, that I have to avoid it. But it does pose a situation with our awakened, and I would very much dislike to see them being harassed, for wearing our colors within the district.

Report

I patrolled both the Southorn and Deadwell. Scores of undead have been laid to rest by the light of Lathander. Groups of weights and cursed minions and numerous other undead. My faith is The Morning Lord gave me the power to undo the darkness that was animating them. Truly he was watching as I fought my way through the undead hordes. I will continue my work in this.

I took the liberty to help guide Miss Raine, towards how she can show her worth to the church, by having her take a closer look to the Precept activities.

A letter arrives, with a clear attempt to hide the middle part with ink, though a clever man could likely still make it out.

My Lord Belon, Dawnlord Argun,
Heresy is in my eyes a matter that entirely falls under the perview of the church. I reported my findings, and offered my support to whatever end you may desire. From what I have gathered, the place still offers services, like most other shrines, so entirely broken they are not.

We lost the war. I had hoped that by defeating Hezebel and returning the artifact, some resemblance of pride would return to the church.

If the church merely wishes to turn the other cheek to these heretics, like you do that disgusting Precept woman who is collecting all our artifacts, that is your choice. I saw this as an opportunity to show the world, that the Church of Lathander still had teeth in its bite, is all.

Let me know what you decide, and whether we should mobilize our knights or find other good deeds to do instead.

@swifty-willownall
Do... what? Seek a position amongst the knights, or as part of the ordained clergy?

Evelyn

@swifty-willownall
Is this an actual recommendation? Does she seek admittance into the Order of Aster, or the House of Morning?

Brothers, Lord Belon
On my patrols today, I heard noise from the old True Sun Castle, south of Arabel. I saw light within, and as I entered, I found that the foul heretics had a functioning shrine within the old castle!

I departed immediately, though I felt my hand clench around hilt of the Sunblade in my belt! Should we allow these heretics and blasphemers continued right to preach their foul doctrines and heresies to the good people of Arabel? Or should we envoke a holy march, and see them either bend the knee to convert, or feel Lathanders wrath upon them?

I believe such decisions are entirely in your hands, Argun and Lord Belon? But perhaps, trough all of our hardships, it is time we show that we still have teeth?

As the heretics are also abusing the name of Helm, perhaps it would be in the interest of the Temple of Helm and The Greywatch, to bring these people to their knee?

Argun,
What you propose is much in line with the current stance of the Order it self. However, I do feel a bit insulted by your isinuation that this current debacle is my doing alone. Do not treat me as a troublemaker, for having the stones to enact Lathanders will.

I banned Merago from entering our lands, because of his far too close ties with the Murrain. I lifted it immediately as peace as agreed upon. As to me not accepting their ban on the Historic District, unlike ours of Merago, it holds no legal justification. From my perspective, the situation with the two dead Bloodhounds ended with the duel with Balorak. He fought for the legal grounds through a formal challenge. He lost, and the Precepts show their utter lack of honor by not respecting the outcome.

Lathander teaches us to always seek new beginnings, forgiveness and redemption when possible. But also be intolerant against those who allow evil deeds to go unchallenged.

Because we are currently pressed with more important matters, I am avoiding any confrontation, and keeping my focus on them. But do not expect an apology from me, or a less hard stance against these fence sitters. I do not tolerate their acceptance of evil deeds being committed without them acting on it, and I find it suprising you do, to be honest.

@Lord_Acererak
We met with Sunny the druidess today. Theron and I quickly picked up on her not entirely trusting us. So we took her on a wild adventure through the mountains, accompanied by Argun. Nothing brings together good folk like good deeds, and we did plenty, all the while discussing ways to retrieve the tablet.

She has been informed that she is to bring the tablet to Jojen, so we may prepare how to find the second piece, and she has agreed to this.

Brothers, sisters,
It is time we get to work, and show the lands what we can do in the name of the Light.
Both myself and Theron have skull roses, which is believed to be the first key to unlocking the crypt.

THE DEADWELL CRUSADE!
In honor of Saint Eveningstar and the Angel Hezebel, the Order of Aster are launching a holy crusade against the undead curse of Deadwell. And we invite all good-hearted souls to help us.
The Knights of Aster and the Church of Lathander, shall once more let Lathander’s light shine upon the cursed lands, and see the curse lifted.

To this end, we offer a bounty of 500 gold pieces, for any group who manages a full patrol of the cursed lands and reaches the mausoleum. ((Just grab a screenshot once you get there))
We offer a bounty of minimum of 100 gold pieces for any relic of Lathander, or other goodly deities, which we can use to fight back the curse.

Clues to the curse, may be found within the crypt underneath the Blisterfoot Inn. We also invite adventurers to look within the old tomb outside the western gate. Any who enter it, and bring us reports of their findings, shall be rewarded in kind.
We invite scholars and arcanists to help us ward the lands, so that the curse cannot spill further into the lands of Calantars road and Bospir.

Any man or woman with knowledge of the lands, and information of what can be found within the mousaleum, shall be rewarded for bringing such information to the Order of Aster.

Pledge your support by finding your local knight, Dawnbringer or squire, and together we shall turn the cursed forest into fertile lands for the village of Bospir once more.

Rewards of riches, magical relics and titles shall be given to those who pledge themselves to the cause!

By the Decree of High Dawnlord Belon, and the Order of Aster
