The Seven Prayers: Save the Princess! (Inactive)

Game Master Aebliss

CURRENT COMBAT MAP

Peace talks have broken out between Andoran and Cheliax, and a wedding has been decreed between a daughter of House Jeggare of Cheliax and the son of a prominent member of Andoran's Ruling Council!

As the two young people are to meet for the first time at a neutral point in the Whisperwood, a band of stalwarts is hired to escort Valeria Jeggare to this politically charged rendez-vous... and then things go horribly, horribly wrong.

A Secret (For Now):

The Rough Beast rose, but at last it fell
On the night when it was 'prisoned, there sounded a knell
When Desna, Mirarae and Sarenrae in wearied sleep closed their eyes
Three powers so disappointed said a prayer beneath the lightless skies
Seven black pearls, seven prayers, seven sins in a crown so pure
When that blasphemy is assembled, no Creation may endure
Seven spells from Thassilon lie rotting on the shelves of the Pure
'Less seven spells form the crown, and seven prayers are set therein
No power nor fiend nor mortal may realize this sin
From whom is it a secret? From ladies of light and prince of lies
Who can tell you the truth of it? The one who is, and yet denies
