Some days after the return from Dal'thaia following an execution, a new notice had been put upon the notice board.

One written crudely and in haste, pinned following a heated debacle.

Quote:"Ophelia was a cunning whore, I'll give her that. Attempting to magibane Surtyr after getting in cozy with him was a bold move, but she lacked the face to bring it home.  At least we of the north are being honest with the land, we have nothing more to hide. The truth is our aegis, as lies were Lars until Arioch exposed him.. How long will Aphros hide from its own people its experimental practice of necromancy, how long will this ruse of a crusade continue? As long as it keeps Dal'thala from fighting back against annexation; not very long at all."

There is no such thing as the Faceless. They are simply rumors spread by the enemy to disparage the efforts of Aphros' people in their steadfast quest to ward against the vile evils.

That said, it is hypocritical of Vdalion to act as if they and Perdition are not one and the same. The real name of Villaus was Sullivan, a doctor and Zealot in the same order as the one who wrote this letter defaming members of Aphros. It was always curious that they seemed to have such fresh access to bodies while the folk of Vdalion executed others.

Even more so that this statement comes from Port Fortune, who seems to be collaborating with profane witch cultists. Even now, they seem to forget the efforts of Oliver, who died at the hands of Vdalion's dogs. How quick the memory of Port Fortune at forgetting such a comrade, throwing their lot in with his very killers. I only hope he finds peace in the Cycle, to be reborn in a better world.

Yet, so is the curiosity that Vdalion claims Nekane, an unrepentant murderer. No better than a feral and rabid animal, who hides from her sins in the shadows of the Giants. They would be wise to remember a rabid dog knows no master. Her crimes in Aphros will undoubtedly repeat in her new home. Where she killed and hid her sin, forcing another to kill for her, and ultimately abandoning the one she called her love.

Perhaps it is simply the fate of snowy lands to inherit such strange cultists, with the hope that it doesn't weaken them as it has done repeatedly in history. Time and time again. Perhaps there will be a moment of guilt in her being and she will return herself to the cycle forthwith. Maybe then, Athelios will judge her soul as salvageable and not condemned to Helheim. Perhaps there, she will meet the lover she abandoned, so she may apologize for her weakness.

THE EXECUTION OF EMBER MONTELIONE
FOR THE CRIMES AGAINST APHROS, HER FATE SEALED.
MAY ATHELIOS HAVE MERCY ON HER SOUL
AND FIND IT WORTHY OF RETURN TO THE CYCLE.

UPON ATHELIOS' HOLY COMMUNION

(SUNDAY)

(PROBABLY 6 PM EST. MAYBE 7PM. I DUNNO. )

(I'll figure this shit out then)

A Necessary Clarification:

It should be known that the above letter does not reflect any express belief of the Southern Seas Company. The claims which have found their way upon this board should be interpreted solely as the words of the Flamespeaker of Vdalion. No veracity is attributed by the Company or its members towards allegations of necromancy, sympathy to such, or being "Faceless" directed to the Consul General of Aphros. Preposterous, much like the notion that the recipient of this letter had found it as any sort of reward for collaboration with necromancers.

Apologies for any confusion.
