Rumors of the Church of the Triadic

[ValerieJean]

Church of the Triad meets with Allies to speak briefly within Triel.

[Aspect of Sorrow]

Preparation toward regional tasks included the diminutive Micar'mizzrym, whose presence heightened over the next several days within the temples for meetings.

[ValerieJean]

Gaven of the Church of the Triad answers a call to the Winding Waters to answer a question of Law in the area. He, along with the followers of Kelemvor, as well as others from Triel and more, buried the dead. Gaven offered prayers on behalf of the Evenhanded (Tyr) for those who had fallen, with quiet promise that those who had wronged them would be brought to Justice under the Evenhanded's eye.

In the evening hours of mid Uktar, a caravan starts to flow in to the outskirts of the ruins of Ulgoth's Beard. The early arrivals stop at the edge of any signs of rot, or corruption, favoring green grasses or cleaner clearings. The wagons and teamsters all bear similar trappings - that of the Church of the Holy Triad, Torm, Tyr, and Ilmater.

Stakes are hammered in by the laborers while knights in shining platemail stand guard. Temporary cots errected with clean linens are set up beneath the plain off-white canvas of field tents, some bearing the specific bound-hand symbol of Ilmater marking them as triage tents.

Two leaders stand out amongst the camp as it takes shape. The first, a knighted man of impressive height with an equally broad build in plate armor with a black fur mantle over his shoulders. Gaven, the knight of the Triumvirate of Triel, takes charge of the triage camp, preparing for the pending rituals' inevitable casualties. The second, a ranger in a long leather coat and signature leather hat, takes charge of setting up the watch of guardsmen over the triage camp.

Dunn, the aforementioned ranger in hat and coat, takes up first watch during the prior eve, when the camp is being set. He busies himself with walking the perimeter, setting up trip-lines and traps to thwart or early alert to any encroaching demons or undead.

After his watch his up, but before Lathander's light breaks the next day. He says two sets of prayers, the first to Shaundakul, one for forgiveness for losing his patron's shrine to the invasion, with a promise to see it made right. The second to Selune, for all the defenders of the ritual.

After, when light breaks, he sets up a campfire and gets a pot of fish stew going. A mixture of white fish, rice, brown rue, red pepper, and other spices - enough to put hair on a Glimmerboot's chest, he'd say if asked of it (and the dish is rather spicy for any that would partake). In addition to that, a pan of cathead biscuits is done, slathered with 'borrowed' honey that the caravan came across on their way to set up.

Gaven Arkalis, Knight-Commander of the Church of the Triad, takes time, with hands he was able to bring along other than his own, to set up the tents and cots, lighting, and placing supplies needed by each, such as bandages, clean water pitchers and basins, and tools required. Herbs, salves, and potions were among the supplies.

He made certain each tent was stocked well enough, the wagons that were used to carry were off to the side, and the horses were taken care of with feed and water as well. He kept an eye out for any incursions. Once satisfied with the tents and supplies he would seek his rest before taking up second watch.

When light awoke him, he sought his own prayer to the Triad, and to Selune. He would partake of the spicy fish stew, eating it heartily and quietly watched the horizon towards Ulgoths. . A calm settled as he waited for the waves to break upon those within.

The Familiar Knight-Commander can be seen arriving in the Outer City by teleport and rushing quickly into the City, armored hand lofted for greetings. He made sure to move with any crowds and not bulldoze through all the while getting to his destination. Purpose or reason is unknown.

[ValerieJean]

A Priest of the Loyal Fury has found his path continued upon that of the Triad. A new addition to the Church of the Triad.

[ValerieJean]

The Knight Commander of the Church of the Triad, Gaven Arkalis, was seen going into the Lady of Mysteries Temple, with a hooded figure. Some Marks were spent there before he had departed with the same hooded figure.

[ValerieJean]

A faithful of the Loyal Fury departed from the Temple in haste in the late hours of the previous eve.

[ValerieJean]

A rumor of a Triadic Knight along with an Elven Priestess, a Half-Orc, a Spirit Singer, and a Spirit Exorcist had seen to clearing an unsettling Darkness from an Ice laden Cave and Altar to a Dark God being destroyed.

[ValerieJean]

Gaven Arkalis was viewed stepping into the Temple of Mystra with two bundles under his arm, in the company of a teu'tel'quess Priestess. They would depart some time later, no bundles seen.

[ValerieJean]

The lower portion of the Temple of the Loyal Fury was barred and locked from the outside, locking in whatever may be below. The area where only the Faithful are permitted unless otherwise escorted. But at this time, any Faithful asked about it would simply be told: "Devotion, none will enter."

[ValerieJean]

Gaven Arkalis can be seen walking up to the doors of the Temples of the Loyal Fury, the Enduring One, and the Evenhanded. Parchment was lifted and placed upon with nail held and then hammer struck through Parchment into the main door of each.

Hidden: show

To the citizenry of Baldur's Gate, both the Noble and Common,

The hidden servants of the Cult of Loss, who worship Darkness, Loss, and Hopelessness spread suffering and seek to extinguish the Light of Our Lady of Silver and her Faithful as well as the Light and hope from the hearts of the people. Likewise the followers of the Black Sun, whose creed glorifies supremacy, murder, and fear, labor to spread chaos and corruption wherever their poison takes hold. These Cults are an affront to justice, a mockery of mercy, and a threat to the safety of every soul within this city.

The Loyal Fury teaches us that our Duty, Loyalty and Courage are to our Faith, Family, Masters, and all good beings of the realm. This must be fulfilled without hesitation, the Faithful must stand firm against Dark Gods.

The Enduring One teaches us Mercy and compassion towards those suffering. The Faithful must comfort the broken, oppose cruelty, and endure so innocents being targeted by these Dark Gods do not suffer.

The Evenhanded teaches us that Justice, and Truth will stand above all corruption and fear. The Faithful must reveal the Truth, protect the innocent, and the guilty judge in fairness under rightful Law. No man may twist Justice to serve ambition, nor conceal wrong doing behind secrecy or lies.

Their works will be brought before Justice. Justice, tempered by Mercy.
Their corruption will be thwarted. Alleviate Suffering through Courage.
Their cruelty will be opposed. Deliver Duty, so long as it is Righteous.

The Church of the Triad will not tolerate the spread of such Darkness within the City of Baldur's Gate. Those who prey upon the innocent and suffering in the name of despair or fear will find no shelter among the Faithful of the Loyal Fury, the Enduring One, or the Evenhanded. Let those who serve Darkness know that the Light of the Triad does not falter before it.

Duty binds us together, Mercy is the Grace we offer, so that Justice prevails

In Service,

Knight-Commander Gaven Arkalis of the Church of the Triad
