Feather’s Goodbye and Missive
CAMPAIGN> Dunstrand Rising is a Living World campaign set in Grand Duchy of Dunstrand in the Steel Realms of the [Fantasy] Steel Realms Setting (planet of Helca).
CHRONICLE: Feather’s Rise > (Second Era of Feather)…
Dalcia Grath-Malor, of House Malor, is there the night before and wishes her well on her way. She says to all she will be staying for a few days if anyone needs to see her. Asil and Atreus are here for this so far… Ulrich misses it by 2 days. Two days after this, all in the castle experience The Sound…
The Goodbye
Feather gathers all the inhabitants in a mandatory meeting in the courtyard of Castle Aqua Pluma. She confirms she has been working on plans for a long time, hence her seclusion, and secretive comings and goings. She is equipped for field work – at her side sits the Satchel of Mog, and she has her weapons with her. A mount and a back up mount is full stocked with what appears to be weeks of provisions. She says she has one final long journey to make – “to see an old friend”. She tells everyone assembled: “If the final peace is signed, stop, honor the agreements, cease plots and plans. Fall in line, stabilize the lands as best you can and trust to fate that all will resolve itself for the best.”
The Missive
= A triggered message for July 1, 9169; Recipients = Krespar, Brother Eulogy, Atreus, Athena, Jesse, Huff, Asil, Volstagg, Ulrich and Kynar
– none know how many/who also received the message until you can all ask each other (if you do).
To each of The Gallants of the following comes a sparrow in a quiet moment. It is silent and finds you when alone and out of ear shot of others. It whispers a message to you, in the voice of Feather.
Pin Feathers…
This may be a farewell, but it is not with any certainty that I say this. The Aelishan and Rellian families are deeply immersed in the politics of Bar-Innis and vested in the fate of Dunstrand. Allied now, we are seeking a means forward, staying in hiding, and require distance and some time to gain perspective. Mary is guiding us in this effort, I am supporting her. Where it leads to I cannot say, but though we pay lip service to the ‘peace’, we seek a way around it and forward. The accounts for Aqua Pluma are settled for at least a half a year. The dwarven or Ducateon armaments some of you asked for have been commissioned – they will be delivered in the future. A formal peace with Gwinn seems inevitable, and with it a diminished Dunstrand, but do not lose heart. Continue doing what you do best, prepare for the future, and support the people. Continue seeking for means of influence and wealth, even if the nobility or authorities seem hell bent on making you seem unfriendly to the free folk of the Earldom and the Duchy. Do not believe any reports of sightings, capture, or anything seeking leverage from capture or imprisonment of her Lady Mary Rellian, Viscount of Dogwood Flats. Or, of me.
Afterward neither Mary or Feather are present in the castle of Aqua Pluma. Unknown to all, they meet at an arranged place on the road to the east – Feather goes east to mislead the Baron’s spies.
