It has not been ten years since the last vigil was held, and yet, in those few short years... much has changed.

The Martyr's Vigil has fallen, burned to the ground by the Sorcerers of Aetius and their assembled allies. The Goldlight Order is scattered- its militia routed, and its once heroes scattered across Meranthe. Some take to Gloomlight, some to Pyrithian. Others still look to build upon the ashes of the once great home of the Tribunal. In the wake of this, a call goes out to all who once called the Vigil home, sent forth by the granddaughter of the first vigil's host: Zinnia Richter, who once held title of knight.

Quote:Our home stood for so many years. But it being gone is no excuse to not pay remembrance to the fallen. We have lost so much... Our home, our friends...

I am too young to remember all those who have ever laid their life in sacrifice to the order, but I wish to remember them all the same. I wish to remember every person who fought to give me a home. Every person who ever fought to protect it.

Truthfully, I was never old enough to be part of the previous ceremonies. I cannot promise that this one will resemble them, but it is something that needs doing all the same. Let us lift our candles one final time in their honour, and remember them. Perhaps then, we can speak on what comes next for the Order.

The message crosses Meranthe to all save for Aetius - there will be one last vigil for the Martyr's, hosted by Zinnia Richter and Anya Talalt. All are welcome to come and pay their respects to anyone who has been lost over the span of the lifespan of the Martyr's Vigil, with special attention paid to those who laid their life down in sacrifice during the days of its final struggle against Aetius.

There are whispers, too, that the young Richter has some announcements to make when the grieving is done. Just what could they be...?



All are encouraged to bring what they wish to be part of this disorganized ceremony. It is likely that those who took part in the city's fall will be met without kindness.
