[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 1870994, member: 7006"] Donoval Johns shifts in his chair and pulls his eyes away from the body of his former partner, still being held by Sir Kolarred. He looks around the room at the five men, and as the questions come flying at him, his head swims and he takes a second to shake the cobwebs out of what has been an incredibly stressful day. [COLOR=Plum]'My story is a simple one... although methinks the entire book will be quite long before we are all through. My name is Donoval Johns, and I am a member of the Karrnath Royal Swords... it is our duty to protect the roads and paths of our nation, as well as perform any other duties a protective force must carry out. My... partner... and I were transferring a prisoner from Atur to the Deneith prison facilities in Karrlakton. As far as the prisoner is concerned... are any of you familiar with an ancient religion call The Blood of Vol?'[/COLOR] Lyran, the pilgrim for the Silver Flame nods his head. [COLOR=DimGray]((Knowledge Religion [11] + 8 = 19 / DC 15))[/COLOR] Lyran relays to the others how the Blood of Vol were (and some believe still are), a small group of individuals who believe blood is the source of life and undeath is the path to divinity. The city of Atur still has a large temple called the Crimson Monastery dedicated to the religion. Needless to say, this doesn't sit well with some of the members of the group. [COLOR=Plum]'The male we held prisoner was actually a priest of the Blood of Vol. Or at least he was arrested and convicted as such. Now ordinarily that in of itself would not be a cause for judgement... the Karrnathi people [I]ARE[/I] free to worship whomever they choose, unlike some of the more STRICT nations of Khorvaire...'[/COLOR] He throws a look to Lyran, whose holy symbol of the Silver Flame hangs prominently from his neck.
