(Lord LaMarche follows suit two days later.)20.  WinddayIn Avion, Lady Felicia watches the horizon hopeful for any sign or message from her allies in Nasundria.22.  MoonsdayIn Avion, Lady Felicia’s emissary arrives back from Onaway and recounts his meeting with Taith-El.  To her surprise, the escort of followers proclaimed that they were sent to ensure the Great Lady’s protection – it was Taith-El’s will.  They would stand by her side from now on as loyal guards of honor in Cronn’s name.  Lady Felicia was touched by the barbarian-priest’s concern for her welfare and started to make plans to go to Onaway and meet this young man.24.  FiredayLady Felicia starts her journey to Onaway with a full escort of her soldiers and Taith-El’s followers Cronn’s Pride, as they now call themselves.26.  WinddayLady Felicia’s caravan is attack by a tabaxi war party and several of her closest advisors are killed.  Several members of Cronn’s Pride die, heroically, protecting the Monarchy’s queen.28.  MoonsdayLady Felicia’s caravan arrives in Onaway.  She immediate goes to see Lord LaMarche and meet this barbarian-priest.  Lord LaMarche informs her that…“Taith-El is currently preaching at the new Temple of Cronn being built where the Lord of the North’s shrine use to be.  His devotion is unlike anything I have ever seen before.”Intrigued, Lady Felicia goes in secret to the new temple and listens to Taith-El preach the word of Cronn.  She finds a barbaric, yet intelligent young man, quietly addressing Cronn’s new flock of followers.“He speaks with such conviction, such passion… I must meet him.”The Lady of Avion walks through the crowd, stopping near the simply wooden beach that Taith-El was sitting on.  Taith-El noticed the woman approach and stopped speaking to the crowd.  He immediately knew who she was, through the power of Cronn, and knelt before her on the ground like his god Cronn had done with Mirella in the beginning.“Ask what you will of me, milady, I am your servant!”Everyone present knew the words from the legend of Cronn and a murmur rose through the crowd.  Lady Felicia was shocked, no one knew she was one of Mirella’s faithful.  Yet to address her in this fashion left no doubt in her mind that this young barbarian-priest was chosen by Cronn himself.  And she instantly knew the response she must give in return.“No Taith-El, your destiny is not with me but with the land that gave you life.  You are its master and slave, you must guard it against those that would destroy it.”With that she left him.  So great was his sorrow that he could not serve the lady, tears streamed from his eyes to dampen the ground.  And thus, a great place of power was created in homage to both Cronn and Mirella.  The two would never meet again, as Lady Felicia left for Avion that same day.29.  EarthdayThe news of the tabaxi spreads out from the Onan Territories to the rest of the states of the Wild Plains, while rumors circulate through the Eastern Shores about trouble brewing in the southwest.======================* Sialic was the God of Revelry wo died during the early part of the Divinity War.  Betrayed by a mortal friend to Vespin the God of Thieves and Assassins.  Little is known of what became of the betrayer and his name is not spoken by the faithful of the North Gods.======================Next up... the month of Thorn.</blockquote>
