[QUOTE="mfrench, post: 4007999, member: 32901"] Having scoured the Free City for recruits in the past, it was no stretch of the imagination to believe that Percivilis and Jerivan were at it again: banging the drums, mustering men, arms, support, provisions, and everything else the the great machine of War needed to press onward. Most men on the streets would offer support, in words, to the sad situation that lingered on across the waters of the Nyr Dyv, but few would answer the call and fight for the liberation of the Shield Lands against the newly risen forces of Iuz. However, this trip to Greyhawk was entirely out of the ordinary. Having heard whispers that Iuz was after a secret weapon, an ancient weapon, the Knights of the Holy Shielding had sent two of their most trusted lieutenants to put an ear out in the city for news of its location. They stuck to their most trusted allies, and proceded with the utmost secrecy, according to their orders. That is why it was such a shock to receive the letter, sealed with an unfamiliar bird, written out to them in flowing script, reveiling their secret plans: [CODE]To the Chosen of Hieroneous, Staunch defender of the Fatherland, Knight of the Holy Shielding, Percivilis the Pure: Greetings! The weapon you fear is not yet in the hands of the Ancient Evil, or any of his forces. However, the same questions that you ask in the temples of the Just are being asked in far seedier places, with methods far more sinister at the disposal of their inquisitors. The bounds of honor mean nothing to the followers of the Old One. Of course, you and your homeland have allies in places yet unlooked. As such, it is my pleasure to extend to you an invitation to enjoy a meal at my table, and discuss the role of defender which I hope to offer you in what (I should humbly suggest) shall be a much more fruitful pursuit of our mutual interests. The meeting will be held under the auspices of peace, for the stakes of this expedition shall be so great, the implications stretch the length and breadth of the Flaeness. Strange associations may be made here, for many nations have an interest in the object of this quest. If you wish to participate, I encourage you to arrive with an open mind, and a thirst for adventure. The meeting will be held on the evening of the 22nd of Fireseek, at the ancestral manor of my family. Cordially yours, Roland Shadowlark P.S.: Jerivan is of course most welcome to be included.[/CODE] [/QUOTE]
