As the sins of Pehllus and Vyma are carried away on purging flame and smoke, soon also shall the Council's choke hold upon this country. It would not have been possible but for you good folk. Your deeds shall be written of by historians and your names remembered by those you have given hope and possibility.
I only pray that the unavoidable blood shed to come shall be over quickly.

I hope the blood and death end quickly, as I do not relish such violence, yet I cannot see it doing so. This city is a boiling cauldron and the violence will only end when it's waters are calm again.
*Stares at the remains of the pyre's where Pehllus and Vyma were executed* I fear there will be many more such executions before this is done.
*Leans down and strokes Bulwei behind the ears and then chuckles quietly* I hope your historians are not too accurate, somehow I doubt my story would make for good reading. *Her face darkens then in memory of something* But being remembered for doing something good will be nice for a change.

Indeed, such a pity that the road to change and progress, and the calmer waters you spoke of, seems always to be stained with blood.
So, you have not always been held in good memory? Why the dark face, my dear?

*smiles dryly* You could say that I have rarely been held in good memory, comes with the territory I suppose. *she indicates her features as she speaks* Being a Half Elf I mean. It's not the easiest life but I suppose it makes things interesting.
*Stares off into space for a moment then shakes her head sharply* It is nothing forgive me, just old memories that seem determined to nip at me no matter what I do. Nothing for you to worry about especially with what you are dealing with at the moment. Though I have to say you seem to handling the situation a lot better than others I have seen in similar situations. What's your secret? Meditation? Rum? Copious amounts of sugar?

Well, some choose to keep their ills to themselves, others are far more vocal. Go with what your heart tells you. But if it is your parentage that troubles you, look around at your new friends, they have the blood of a demon and a dragon in them. Their stories are similar to yours I would wager. Perhaps they are kindred spirits and it is having this in common that has brought you together.
As for handling the situation? This old man has learned that, when things seem out of your control, you still have control over your self.
Alas, this does not seem to apply to our memories to which we are all puppets.
I believe we are shaped by our memories, bad and good. They make us who we are, it is up to us whether they actually make us bad or good.

*looks thoughtfully at the waning flames*
*mutters* "Is this just a prelude to war about to envelope the whole of Faerun"
"To stand against the darkness is all we can strive for, as we approach what can be hoped is a lighter period in this citys history know that I will stand against the tide till the end for you Tharundar and the people who have suffered at the hands of those shrouded in the darkness. I agree with the Virani, a couldren of violence is about to explode in this city"
*her hand strays to the Talon dagger at her belt*

Be careful when the blade calls to you kat, the sands of the pits have taught me blood follows.
Yes, somehow i think better things will come from all the mess we have all helped set in motion. one way or another the filth of this city will wash away.
*stares into the distance*
hopefully its replaced by something better...

*nods to both Kat and Olathgost* It had better be something better after this is done. I don't want to have to start all over again. *grins* Starting a revolution is exhausting.
*looks at Tharundar* perhaps one day when all of this is over I will share a little about me. It would be nice to ease the burden but for now the city is more important.
*smiles at Kat* How's the Tiger?

*looks confused for a moment then realises what Olathgolst means, slowly takes the dagger from it's sheath and looks at the details of it with it's history weighing heavily with her*
"I know what you mean my friend *smiles*, but is it the blade that calls me or the I that call the blade. You know what I must face and the time draws nearer when all of Faerun will be bathed in blood, I just hope I am ready to face the challenge.
*smiling at Virani and the smile even touches her eyes for a brief moment* still sleeping at the minute, I need time to bond with him and try to win his affection. Time we are short of at the minute. When you are ready share anything you wish, we all have spoken of our pasts, fears and dreams over late night camp fire. But we had time to build a trusting bond between us, when you feel you can trust us we shall be listening"

For all you have done for this church, the very least I can give you in return is a pair of old, but still working ears!
As for wars and the future of Amn, once the Council is gone and replaced with more worthy leaders, the importance of the lives of its citizens will at last take precedence over profit and trade routes. This may seem strange coming from the High Holy Coin of Waukeen but no profit has ever been made without the good honest hard work of the small-folk! They are the backbone of Amn and I shall for my part do my best to ensure the new leadership would do well to remember that! That all men and women shall have opportunity to better their lives through honest labour and hard work.
It gives me some hope that the Five Coppers are good and honest folk, well... four of them are... and they shall see things are done.
When this is all over, I would hope you would remain guests of the Goldspires, assuming they still stand, and take a well earned rest and respite from rewriting history!
I can see in your eyes, Katalina, you believe that The Dragon War will sweep away all before it, but there must be some hope, surely? I would not want to live in a world without hope.

Kal looks down her eyes shrouded in the shadows even though there are none in the room. I hope this change we bring does some good, for to long the powerful have done as they please hidden behind hoods of violence, silence and what stood for law. The corrupt were able to flourish whilst the innocent the good and the honest suffered.
I hope something better takes it's place. Then maybe the Dragon war will not just sweep away all that there is. Hopefully once the dust settles a stronger more just society will mean a strong ally in the violence to come. I feel fate is once again drawing her hand across the skein.
Kal looks up the shadows dispersing and a smile appears on her face, honest and genuine as if a heavy weight has been lifted.
Virani welcome to our little group and thank you for your assistance, I don't believe you have heard me say this but thank you I feel that without your assistance we may never have come through what has transpired without you. I hope you decide that travelling with us will be a good move, certainly your life will be interesting.
Olathgost I think it's time we decided on your Fated Heart Name, Kat group name is Fire Heart after all a very apt name for a daughter of a Gold dragon with passions to match, My name is Shadow heart for obvious reasons, what do we call you?

"yes indeed thank you Virani, your help was most fortunate in it's timing. Tharundar *the gold blazes in her eyes* there is always hope, Bahamut's faithful are awakening and the dragons of good stand ready to face their counterparts once more. I was known as Bahamut's huntress from a young age, I may not have taken the path my father would have wished, but here we stand. As long as I draw breath know that at least one dragon stands ready to hold back the tide of darkness and destruction that comes. *chuckles* well a half dragon at least."
