Events
Lenta wrote a letter to her family telling that she had been resurrected by a White Lady Mellia of Saiciae and there was an agreement that the customary gifts would be delivered to the shrine at the Blue Tree. Oh, and Irillo would have a copy of this letter in case one she sent would go missing.1In name of blessed Imarja, Ernalda Allmother and Issaries the Harmonious, to all these present letters seeing or hearing greetings and blessings from wellborn Lenta of House Hulta, famous in Nochet, Queen of Cities.
Know ye, by Grace of blessed Chalana Arroy and her meek servant lady Mellia of House Saiciae I was brought back from that silent road to Ty Kora Teks house we all must one day thread and for this I owe her not only my undying gratitude but also such gifts as are worth a Noblewomans life. (By custom 50 wheels or more.) As Healer of blessed Chalana Arroy her Excellency has wished such gifts and donations to be bestowed on Chalana Arroy’s shrine at Blue Tree, to which I have agreed to.
I will make arrangements for this to happen as expediently as possible.
Quite conscious of insecurity of our mortal life in this world I ask and beseech my good family, that Should it happen that I meet my demise before I have done this and fail to fulfil this obligation, they will correct my failing so that no blemish will fall on our good family name, using the income of lands in Monros I had the grace to enjoy or in other ways our esteemed Grandmother deems wise. I have asked the Irillo of house Saiciae to keep a tally of how this obligation I have taken on myself and he has graciously agreed. Of this clay roll I have made two copies, of one piece of clay, one I will send to the esteemed Grandmother of Our House and one to safekeeping of the said Irillo Saiciae and to both I have rolled my seal. Lenta daughter of Nerestina of house Hulta.
The party received three messages from Prax. One illegible, one from Rajar (so, mostly illegible), and one from Serala (so, lovingly illegible). Berra tried to read the back of hers.
Varanis met with Chief Kulharl to discuss Chaos and stormed off after he shamed her.
The party went to visit with the trolls because Mellia wanted to ask them about the blockage. Three trolls accompanied them when they left to go visit the nearby Humakti Temple, King’s Tower.
At the Humakti Temple, the trolls were introduced and deals made about worship in exchange for service. Three Humakti (Gelvin, Kofer, and Bleujen) were brought on to join the party as scouts.
A preliminary scouting mission confirmed that yes, there was still Chaos in the area around the Six Sisters, including a dragonsnail.
As the party was in poor shape and Berra needed to be back in Boldhome to lead worship for Eril, they agreed to regroup in six days while people prepared as best they could.
