Ambrus said:Misunderstanding the green wizard's question, Maelicent offers the obvious answer to the seemingly clueless human "It's a giant-kin's arm."
"A man's arm with pictographic script tattoos. See how they used expensive colored ink? These are not the tattoos used to mark slave properties. The nobles of Arrund are said to traditionally bear such tattoo types. Also certain magical traditions, both arcane and divine, use tattoo foci to empower their spells. Others are used to hold spells themselves at the ready. These have the look of such foci. See how the beast's stomach juices pit the skin but do not mar the tattoos themselves?" Voadam holds up the arm for the others to see if they wish, his coin illuminating and making his point clear.
"I can not say for certain, I am unfamiliar with this script and likely the underlying language as well, but these here have the look of priestly magics to me." Voadam turns the arm over and gestures at some other pictogram tattoos "There are some though that indicate arcane focusing as well. So it seems he was a theurgist, a priest who dabbles in both divine and arcane magics. I have dealt with such before, though that vampiric elf did not bear such tattoo magic."
Voadam points to other portions of the man's corpse "Note also that he bears no tattoos on his chest, legs, or face. Magical tattoos are very expensive and I would expect only the major houses of Arrund's nobility to be sponsoring such. Houses Kiril, Kroum, Assen, Boril, and Lilov from what I have heard are likely candidates. This man has them only on his arms so I suspect he was a lesser priest connected to one of those houses."
