Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Found Brother Ameris dead on the road yesterday, his throat slashed, his clothing wet like his body had been dumped into the river, either someone dragged him out or with his last strength her crawled out and collapsed.

Ran into Alexander, he believes my personality and strength of resolve should be enough to dominate the echoes in my head from her. I asked him to give me two days to try and over come this, that will take me to the three day mark that Kaltyra spoke of.

He may be correct, time will tell. I just need to focus, gather my thoughts and make my duty dominant

Brother Alexander and Kaltyra were right. All it took was time, we just didnt realize how much time for those echoes to fade.

I left the coast and traveled the lands. I need to ensure i was not a danger to anyone, to ensure i had not been corrupted. i spent my days assisting those in need. I worked the fields of simple farmers and provided medical service's where needed. i had no direction or destination in mind. I simply traveled. In tme i found myself approaching Hillsfar and found myself welcomed.

For the next year I stayed, dedicated myself to my duties and aiding those where I could. I spent much of my time alone in deep contemplation. I continued my research into the Knights of the Merciful Sword.

After a time I found myself growing to comfortable again and set out upon the road. From Hillsfar I traveled north never spending more than a few days in anyone spot, eventually my travels took me back south and eventually east again.

How I ended up back at the Sword Coast and eventually to the Keep I know not, but I like believe it was the guidance of Tyr and my heart that led me back to the place I called home for so long.

Much has changed and much has not. What I do know is that from my interactions with those I have met it seems that I am needed and wanted. So for now I will stay and do what must be done to ensure the safety of those in the region.

Honourable brothers and sisters of the most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart, I am Katarina of Tyr. I write to you this day to inform you of happenings within the Order based at Baldurs Gate along the Sword Coast.

I fear for the future of this Chapter house in its current state and under its current leadership. I have known brother Prelate Grandmaster Arkaine Halforken for many years. I was mentored by none other Sir Jonas Rokranon and Knighted with the chapter chapel not 4 years ago.

As I am sure you have been made aware, the region has seen many troubles over the past few years and I am sure you were made aware of the traitors who had infiltrated the Order and deceived not only myself but all within its walls. These betrayals I fear have changed our beloved brother Prelate Grandmaster for the worse. He will not listen to anyone but his own council, he rages against those who raise differing views and opinions. When said individuals will not back down he tosses those who love him to way side and casts them out.

I am such an individual, I was until yersterday Lady Katarina of Tyr, Order of the Radiant Heart.....Today I am simply Lady Katarina of Tyr and here is what has taken place

*she goes on to recount the visit by the Thayan Knight who was invited in by Lady Erza to discuss the situation, she goes into detail about the Grandmaster showing up and all that occured including her being cast out and subsequent near execution of the Thayan and his rescue by those who stood for what was right and just. She explains the horror she felt at having to look into the eyes of those she called brother and how some of them did not perform there duties with full heart despite Arkaines orders, as if they were questioning what was going on.*////OOC- Ive done this part this way as there was alot going on and dont want to mess up the recount. DM Creo was present

I am asking you to send an envoy to the Keep to speak to him to reestablish the leadership and command structure as it once was. No one man or woman should have ultimate power and authority over his brothers and sister. The burden of command and leadership must be shared so that all may have a voice within the walls.

Please seek out Lady Erza as quickly as possible.

Lady Katarina of Tyr
