Order of Our Lady of Redemption were able to discover this plot by Uskuada, follower of Teratos. The True Faith Holy See had also warned against in-fighting and urged unity to fight rising chaos.
Emperor Gar III's mysterious death by poison threw the empire into chaos. A great inquisition by the Redemption against the imperial council uncovered evidence of Teratos infiltration, leading to the execution of most high court members in 1005.
Despite my apprehensions about passing through the heart of the province of Ekengrad, newly under Redemptorist jurisdiction after mysterious events took place there in the village of Logneraie and the chaotic city of Garganesh extended its influence there, I must admit that Wardon Capum speaks the truth when he says that nine lightly armored people should not attract too much attention from the Lady's men, who have many other cats (rabid lions would be more accurate) to worry about. These arguments make sense, but as an Adept I will not feel safe until we leave Ekengrad. There is no doubt in my mind that our departure will not go unnoticed and that our ride will be under intensive surveillance.
Plus, I can't help but imagine that men dressed in black and white are watching our every move. We can’t wait for us to reach Ghoria and finally leave the “Land of the Lady”!
And on a purely political (and religious) level, Garganesh's curses are not to help us. The Holy Order of the Iron Fist, armed arm of the True Faith, is likely to unite with Salmarak in this ordeal. Only time will tell, but I believe that the battle that will take place in Eraldosse in a few weeks is, for us, lost in advance. The True Faith, and especially the Iron Fist, is a little cousin of the Order of Our Lady of the Redemption and losing the military support of these two experienced guilds in Salmarak would represent, in my opinion, an almost certain defeat, since it must be taken into account that they will probably bring other factions with them. However, I believe that it is not impossible to convince Redemption of the merits and advantages of fighting on the side of the Tower of Díedne.
The Order of Our Lady of Redemption
The second battle, the siege of Pamoisard, goes badly... The chain of command and the organization of the troops suffer from enormous gaps which see assault after assault shattered on the Argan fortifications. During the years that followed Caius led campaign after campaign against the Redemption, Brabancourt, Le Fhain, Les Lambertrands, Montfort, Irendille, Andore, Ar
In the province of Dulgaron, Prince Resther Saint-Felix was informed of an attack by Sultan’s men, the Guerriers de la Montagne, and issued a royal proclamation summoning all of Dulgaron’s nobles to defend the province. Unsurprisingly, l’Ordre Notre-Dame de la Rédemption in Dulgaron did not only ignore his summons, but turned on the Prince, joining the Guerriers as they marched towards Gotwald Fortress in the heart of Dulgaron, intent on razing it to the ground.
With all the nobles of Dulgaron united except la Rédemption, the Guerriers de la Montagne forces were weakened, outnumbered and desperate. In a final push they attempted to enter the capital through the sewers where they were slaughtered to the last man by the freedom-hungry populace.
Following the battle of Gotwald, the provincial council composed of the l’Arrogance, the Garde Rouge and the Ost du Saint Reliquaire decided to divide the fiefdoms of Dulgaron among themselves and the council of Dulgaron turned their eyes eastward, towards the province of Kazarun, the jewel of l’Ordre Notre-Dame de la Rédemption. The unforgivable betrayal of the Redemption in Dulgaron made the council determined to make those who wanted to take their freedom pay.
Although the war with the Sultan had ended with a peace accord, conflict still raged across the land. The armies of Dulgaron, Ma'at and Darganof now marched on the independent city of Kazarun, stronghold of the forces of l’Ordre Notre-Dame de la Rédemption, in revenge for their betrayal during the war and to liberate those that still suffered under the tyranny of the Sultan.
One of the most decisive victories was scored when the mage Clars F. Lester cast an arcane spell all the way from the Sublunar Manifestation of the Galactic Nexus in Gotwald with a spell so powerful he was able to flood the Kadar mines, destroying the wealth and forces of our enemies.
Taking advantage of the total destruction of the armies of the Redemption by Clars’ magical attacks, the whole of Terres du Sud began their assault on Kazarun. While the Berserks were busy ransacking the Lubsko estate and the Kadar mine was taken by arcane forces, the forces of the l’Arrogance and the Garde Rouge laid siege to the country estates of the Redemptoristes. Soon the fortress of Freiberg was all that remained of their holdings in Kazarun and they began preparations for a long siege.
While the forces of the Garde Rouge and various southern factions were busy drawing a trail of destruction across the province, eventually occupying the estates of Wurzen, Grima and Soltberg, the forces of the Traqueurs and Berserks began the final siege of Freiberg.
Besieged for several months, the provisions of the great fortress of Freiberg grew low but still a year long siege seemed likely until the day when the skies over the territory were set ablaze by celestial flames, originating back in Gotwald at the Galactic Nexus, the home of the mage Clars F. Lester
When the devastating attack ended, the fortress still stood but the city was in ruins. The Redemptorists who had survived the obliteration left the safety of their dungeons to survey the damage. They were surprised, however, by the Sudiste survivors of the final battle with Sultan who had taken a detour to aid in the efforts to free Kazarun. Led by King Rathan, they swooped down on the smoking ruins and crushed the remaining Redemption forces. With this final victory, a unified Terres du Sud finally emerged.
Ignorance is the weapon of the powerful. The guilds of the Central Lands embark on various quests and battles to obtain Tablets of Knowledge, which will reveal the History of the world of Bihill. The desire to obtain this knowledge is such that a great coalition unites behind Redemption. Fortunately, the Phoenix will dare to oppose this brotherhood and allow the men-at-arms to practice their profession.
