A Question of Blood

The Voyages of the Sea Krait

An    Campaign

The push seems to be to end this campaign at this clean point.  With that said...

The word of High Prince Rygar in a ceremony a few days after the death of Braccus the Fatespinner.

"Not only did these young men brave untold dangers to save my life, but they also exposed a plot which has taken our children for nearly a decade and ruined them.  Children need no longer live in fear thanks to the efforts of these six men.  Therefore, I bestow upon them the rank of Lord, the gift of land, the privlidges and responsibilities required thereof.  They must form and maintain standing armies and navies, with adequate reserves that may be called up in times of war or emergency.  They must defend their people and the shipping lanes around them from all who seek to harm the innocent, unduly profit, or plan against the High Prince.  They must finally defend justice and law, serving as the final judge of all affairs in their territories.

I hearby name the following as Lords of the Southern Islands. 

Lord Greer Woolman of Hollowtree

Lord Gosprith Treacle of Durrenhorn

Lord Marco Venable of Praia

Lord Asmund of Sarsfield

Lord Foll Firehand of Black Harbor

Father Galen, who has refused any title or gift of land, I present with a sum great enough to keep any wandering priest in only the best inns and finest coaches to the end of his days. 

Let the events of the past weeks be a warning to those who would ply mischief upon our islands. Not only must you fear the wrath of 1000 Princes of the Principalities, but of every young man and woman who will not stand idly by and watch injustice occur.  Ours is a nation of individuals, each of whom is willing to lay down his or her life for the betterment of us all.  May the Gods bless us and may these new lords serve with the honor and distinction that I know is within them.

On the eve of the High Feast of Danu, four boys were stolen away from family and friends and sent to work as slaves.  Their end, however, was not to come as many would have thought.  They bided their time and when opportunity arose they freed themselves.  On a ship called the Gray Dusk, they now travel around the Lhazaar Principalities searching for home, looking for answers, and most of all, seeking revenge.
