Into the chamber comes a woman with long pitch black hair, a pair of small horns on her head, and the Mark of Lamashtu across her abdomen. A falchion hangs freely from her side, and she looks about as one would a battle field, sizing up everything in the room.
“Greetings Venture-Captain. I am Morgana Arak, Inquisitor of Lady Lamashtu, and for the time being Ruby Sage.” She says with a slight mocking undertone at the thought. “My companions and I have traveled the burning sands and found the fabled Diamond Sage. When she and Amenopheus began to argue over leadership of their order it became quite clear they both would not give in. A vote was called between the sages thought I personally didn’t like either of our choices.”
“Between The Sapphire and Diamond Sage I simply see two beings vying for power in an order of only two. There isn’t enough power to bother fighting over in those sands. Their focus should be in finding the rest of the gems related to the sages before they fight over who should rule. Our decision then was to follow in the ways of Mother Lamashtu. They should gather their power and then compete to see who would be the best leader of their ranks. Once a sufficient number of Sages have been elected there should be a trial made that they all must take part in. Each sage will create a trial, and then each sage will take part in these collective trials. He or she who has been proven the most competent in a test composed of their peers shall be named the head of the order. This system of trials will happen every five years to make sure the head of the order is still worthy of their position. That way the strongest will always rule, and the sages will not sit idly as they have for centuries. If they wish to influence their peers then they have a goal to grow stronger themselves. In this way the order will have a strong leader as well as continually improving members to make sure they can defend themselves from the inside, and out.”
“Now if you don’t mind I have three new children to attend to. Good day Venture-Captain.” She says with a nod and walks out without being dismissed.
