After a brief pause, he returns his gaze to Sir Cariel."Yes, we have it on the authority of Sir Exantrius that Thedoric is now leading an army of brigands to sack major cities of the Realm. I do know, from messages to which my friends have responded, that my own city of Hedrogura has lain in ruins for at minimum, a fortnight, and that Bethel and the surrounding towns are in chaos as a result. Father Milos Premule has been missing and is now presumed dead. This morning, I will attempt to send messages to points further along in my journey, in case this army has advanced beyond.Our Knight further claims that this is definitely at the hand of Thedoric, who has either been turned, or has succumbed to vile and hateful thoughts.As I said in my prayer, of course. I am aware of Thedoric's former reputation as a statesman, and we have since discovered that the letters we now deliver are in Thedoric's hand, possibly from before he underwent this... change.We wish the land to be at peace, for the brigand army to stand down, and for Thedoric to return to the Light, as It Is the Will of the One Sun. Nothing more. We have faith in what we do, and hope that it works for these aims.So I am curious, Sir Cariel, since you find this as troubling as we have, how must the others of your noble Order feel. Certainly Brother Aramil was skeptical, and I am unsure myself if Thedoric is responsible, but the threat this portends is certainly real. With Bethel fallen, and various of the Free Cities buttoned up like tritons, unwilling to help one another, I must wonder if this is the last glimpse of the Realm as we once knew it."Fendric returns his eyes to the road ahead, awaiting the Knight's answer.</blockquote>
