[QUOTE="stonegod, post: 4087765, member: 36973"] Ireena looks at Janis awkwardly before Ashlyn cuts in. Its obvious she is not prepared for an extended trip, with nary a pack with her. She does volunteer to help how she can, however. As Khensu and Jarrith being to pray, Ashlyn gets a look at the text. It appears to be a [i]Cannons of the Knittes of the Ravven[/i]. Her heart beating, she quickly finds the words a bit difficult to understand, but no doubt tied to Urik's order. With Tessa's help, she begins to puzzle out its contents. The book first discusses the founding of the order by the paladin Lugdana. Apparently, the lands of Barovia were ruled by undead 'vampyr' goblinoids. The holy sign of the raven came to the paladin, and with the symbol and sword they granted her, she drove them from the land. She established her order soon after. The text describes rituals and prayers for newly ordained knights that have some similarities to ancient Sovereign beliefs, but with their own flavor. Tessa and Ashlyn also discover some interesting aspects about the artifacts of the Order itself: The Holy Symbol, the Sunsword, and the Icon of Ravenloft (apparently the raven statue). The Symbol is the oldest, and rituals involving incense and oils are described for creating a binding connection. Sacrifices of wealth may also be made.
