Assumption(s):
The Coming of the White Sisters
A PC is tied to the Lightbringer faith…
A new Dame Mother, Helen d’Joiy and her assistant Mother Erica Rumsfeld, wish to meet the great Gallantine comrades. The previous White Sisters have moved on to ‘cleaner’ environments, though the Lightbringer Faith is obviously invested in their previous group’s efforts and the quests done in the good name of the sisterhood by the previous group.
A new Dame Mother Helen d’Joiy and her assistant Mother Erica Rumsfeld. The latter has taken the name of distant relations in White Garden in Yarans Vale – the town of Rumsfeld – a politically motivated name change, named after the “ruling” family there.
PC told by Dame Mother Helen d’Joiy
Your presence here is a sign to the Lightbringers. The gods have sent you here for a reason – do not think it a coincidence! The White Sisters have been here longer and endured much through this changing of the guard of The Gallantine order. Now, the Light has found its way back to Dunstrand – I sense it. Not those frauds of a count in the north… but a true faith will be spawned here in Crestwold. Glory to mother Aerna!”
Allow the PCs to ruminate… there can be conversation, and when she has finished answering their questions, she will hold up a hand, and ring a bell next to her on the table.
You are not here just for this. I bid you welcome Father Timothy, priest of Ikribu. His retinue just arrived yesterday. Builders from Umbak, and attendants to rebuild the temple of light here. It will be re-christened as The Church of d’Joiy Whitetop (her name). Much was paid to the coffers of the baron to allow so many of my countrymen.
The 2 builders (Reece and Steve) will hire laborers locally. 2 new Ghosts of Conscience (Eric and Richard), 2 acolytes of light (Wensmouth and Tyran) and the priest (Father Timothy; CHA 17) + another white sister (Sister Leila)…
> Also building a Preceptory of the White Hem – a place to hold and discharge sisters of the order.
At some point, while each PC is shaking hands with (except the White Sisters) and talking to the new Lightbringers, they will be pressured to make a donation. In return, the continued good reception by the White Sisters (“let bygones be bygones – what you are doing here is important to cast the shadows back!”) and Lightbringers in general.
