Those in the Chapterhouse would have seen a woman in well-kept but mismatched armor entering the grounds trailing the wounded Grand Master closely.

She leaves and later returns to the Chapterhouse to spend a good deal of time picking dried blood and grime from a set of armor obviously too large for her to wear. She polishes the chain and plate until it gleams with a soft cloth and some oil. She takes care to avoid further aggravating damaged sections.

The woman leaves the Chapterhouse with a large leather-wrapped package and heads directly to the finest armorsmith in Baldur's Gate.

To protect these good folk, the men, women, and children from the fell beings that seek to ravage our lands. To be a shining example of what one can become in the pursuit of happiness and peace, to show Fury in the face of Evil, and to bring utmost justice with Fairness and good Faith.

It is with these words, I declare so and with my actions from here on that I will abide by my duties, oaths, and word. Proving myself worth of your cause."

The guards at the main entrance to the chapterhouse are approached by a short-haired, redheaded young human wearing a mismatched suit of banded mail and a long sword. She exudes an air of confidence, though she seems a tad too young to warrant such.

She declares herself as Kana Tannard, and humbly requests an audience with the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart regarding her wish to join the Order as a prospective paladin of Helm. When asked, she tells the guards she can be found at the Blade and Stars inn.

(She's not actually a paladin - she just wants to become one in the Order's service.)

My name is Aaron Lyonaler, a knight within the Order of the Radiant Heart. I would be happy to meet with you at your convenience to discuss the Order with you. I can be found oft at the Chapter House, near the city in the farmlands, or along the front line to the north. I eagerly await your reply.

A letter arrives at the Chapterhouser from the frontlines at the Winding Water presented to the guards by a man in white armor trimmed with gold who introduces himself as Sir Ulric Wester.

Hidden: show
"Greetings, Radiant Heart Auxiliary

After speaking with Sir Aaron Lyonaler I request a meeting to discuss entry into your ranks in order to better combat the evils plaguing the lands surrounding Baldur's Gate, notably the Devil horde intruding upon the Winding Waters with their monstrous lackeys.

Those attending the defence can vouch for my nature as a Paladin sworn to Siamorphe; a fact that concerned previous leaders of the Order. It is my hope that such trivialities no longer restrict your ranks as Sir Aaron informed me.

If my request interests you please send a reply in person or in written form to the Winding Waters fort where I shall be present until duty or a need for supplies calls me elsewhere.

Long live the Dukes

-signed Sir Ulric Wester"

Kana attempts to reach a member of the Order in their chapterhouse. When this fails, she warns the guards that the former squire Reiker Vexx has returned to the Sword Coast, reminding them that he had made a pact with a demon several months ago.

The pages and attendants of the Radiant Heart Chapter House can be seen preparing the Chapter House. Some are seen about the town purchasing additional food and supplies, before returning to the Chapter House. It would seem the Order is expecting a visit.

A young Woman with brown skin, black hair and golden eyes can be seen helping guarding the refugee camp and helping them around. Her gear and armor are worn to the cord, yet it is evident she is taking care of it the best she can. She is always polite, but a bit shy. She doesn't start conversation, but she doesn't ignore people either, she always reply politely when someone ask her something and doesn't dismiss conversation as soon as possible. It might be possible she is simply shy at starting them.

The Men-at-Arms and Knights of the Order of the Radiant Heart were drilled in the courtyard of the Auxiliary House. Grand Knight, Aaron Lyonaler walked throughout the yard, winding his way through the ranks. Ocean blue eyes inspected each soldier's armor and weapons, their posture, and tested them on matters of their oaths. As they broke off in pairs to practice hand to hand drills, The young Knight observed, speaking quietly with the Warden of Arms. Near the end of the day the company formed up again, where Grand Knight Lyonaler addressed them, once more. At the sound of the dinner bell, they were released to their meal and nightly duties.
