High Lady Sarah's page

High Lady Sarah bows and smiles widely at the title spoken by Brother Elyas. The Ecclesiarch seems pleased by his manner and the crowd is boiling with zealous fervor at this point. Some members are openly flagellant and screaming the Emperor's name. Such mass displays are rarely seen.

Once everyone has received their seals, the Watch Captain leads them off stage to a private room with high ranking members of the Ecclesiarch. Sister Vesta is there. The Watch Captain takes a moment to address everyone.

"By The Emperor Brother Leon, I thought you had the best memory of the group. 'By The Emperor's Hand' is that so difficult? And what was that speech Brother Tellemachus? I suspect our High Lady is so pure she rejects the powers of the Librarian, perhaps you should keep clear of her during our time here. Well, at least the rest of you did well. Follow me, we are not done yet. We will eat here before going back to the Pious Immolation."

The High Lady smiles again, and seems to have regained her composure. The crowd cheers and continues to shout praises to the Emperor and St. Drusus.

The High Lady Sarah smiles widely at Brother Arkhos as he confidently receives his purity seal. The crowd begins to chant "Praise The Emperor! Praise Drusus"

The High Lady Sarah smiles at Brother Tellemachus, but he can tell she does not look well.

The High Lady smiles at Brother Lutha Hallan. The crowd cheers loudly.

There is some confusion in the crowd, but there is cheering and an overall joyous tone. The Sister just smiles at Brother Leon, and seems to have almost a look of pity like that of a mother witnessing her child do something embarrassing.

Serfs and members of the Ecclesiarch lead you up to a large stage overlooking the vast courtyard of the main Cathedral on Orendel's Tomb. At a podium is a blond woman, the face and voice of an angel. Once you all line up as instructed she begins to speak.

"Praise this day for it marks another triumph of the Faithful! Behold! The Tomb of the Unknown Hero returned from the World of Grangold, a world of vile heresy." The two Ironclad Dreadnoughts bring in the tomb, easily carrying its load.

"Today we honor Elder Brother Gazerich, and Elder Brother Ishmael for their stalwart protection of this sacred tomb. For over two hundred years since the Angevin Crusade have these brothers held vigil over this relic of the Crusade." She steps down to attach large purity seals on the Dreadnoughts. After receiving each of the behemoths bow slightly and a booming "By the Emperor's Hand!" resounds in the courtyard. An audible sound of wonder is heard at first, then after the second seal is given a deafening cheer is heard from the crowd. You likely have not seen so many people gathered at one time, at least not recently.

High Lady Sarah returns to the podium. "Today we also are blessed to have with use the mighty Astartes that secured the relic, going into the toxic planet were we could not. For this they shall be forever blessed and their names ever remembered in the hearts and minds of the followers of The God Emperor and his holy St, Saint Drusus."

"Brother Leon, Step forth"... She asks each of you to step forth and receive the award. Roll Common Lore Ecclesiarch( I will also take Scholastic or Forbidden Lore Ecclesiarch) if you have it @ +60. If successful you get a bonus of +30 on your next roll, which everyone will roll. Everyone needs to roll Fellowship @ +0 to gage how well you present yourself when receiving these purity seals.
The Purity Seals grant +5 fellowship when dealing with members of the Ecclesiarch, and they have the Litany of St. Drusus inscribed on them. In combat you can take a half-action to recite the litany to give your next attack the Sanctified quality, even if it is an unarmed attack.
