The Meranthe Chronicle

[Zilly]

His First Chosen
(I forgot to get a screenshot at the start   )

Word came of a special announcement to be held in the Aphros Cathedral. I arrived not knowing what to expect. But soon everything was made clear.








A shocking revelation. As an outsider as far as I knew these rumored 'Faceless' were often thought to be Athelios' Nephilim.
Much like the Faeborne of Nemea. But perhaps they are and this is some statement by the Warden of Helheim?






The Oracle now chosen by Athelios directly, not merely his mortal servants. In many parts of the world this sort of divine choice, divine intervention if you would...
Well it might be seen as a prelude to more, a right to rule even. So despite my nervousness I stood up and asked.





These reader are dirty words to some in the church, to talk of Monarchs in Aphros. Upon saying this I was even asked to leave by one.
I was made nervous by my now awkward situation said in my ignorence of Asperan belief.
However I did think my question was valid all the same and the people of Meranthe might be interested so I help my ground and waited.





The Oracle it seemed was not interested in a display of power. But I had gotten her attention and she answered my questions!
So now seemingly validated by her words I continued after all it is not every day this Chronicler has the ear of Aphros' Oracle.
I had to ask about all that has happened recently and this new threat looming over Meranthe.




Though it seemed the Pontifice had something to say on this topic before the Oracle spoke.








The Oracle now the first Chosen Nephilim of Athelios. The Church's leadership recognizing, though perhaps downplaying any
threat this 'Council' might hold. For now it seems nothing will change in Aphros' Governance but even the Oracle leaves open the possibility
of fates whimsy.
