Lace's Tales
~ The Emperor's Campaign
Entry 5
Our arrival in Greyheim went smoothly. I got to meet Jerith's
family, and they're just as I had envisioned them. His mother
is kind, and keeps trying to get me to eat more. Jerith has
begun looking towards his companions in the knights to join
our cause. It is strange, but I think it shall be difficult to bring
people to aid us. The people are happy under Martyrian's rule,
the city is being run well, and as a city should be. There are
no murders or ritual sacrifice in the streets, just a happy little
town. Seeing this, I decided it only proper to announce myself
to the ruler of Greyheim, Arturu Blackscar.
I announced myself using every title I could think of, which
I have never done before. Using the title of Princess seemed
strange, but it is rightfully mine, and I have every right to use
it to my advantage. Nonetheless, it felt strange wearing court
attire, and acting the part of a princess. Arturu is a strange man,
I know not what to make of him. I asked him if there was
anything that I, as a Sacred Sister, could do for him and his
people. He told me of possible brigands near Fallen Dragon
Keep, and asked us to go there and investigate/discharge such
brigands. I agreed, as it is my duty to help the people of Ellannis.
Jerith and I headed out, with only a small group of men. We
soon found that the Keep itself was under attack by Ogres and
mercenaries. We attacked, and saved the keep. It was an
easy battle. I downed an Ogre Magi, which I have been told
is a great feat. It did not seem so at the time. Afterwards, we
got some of the mercenaries to join the cause, and others to
retire for good. Unfortunatly, some of the good dwarves
of the keep had an arguement with the knights, and we had to
go to Martyrian to work it out.
