Quest 3: Group 1
| |
Val Royeaux is a city of wealth and beauty. A place where everything sparkles. At least on the surface. But below that surface simmers corruption, greed, and suffering. In Val Royeaux the wealthy stay on top by the continued games they play: the deals, bribes, and blackmail. The dark underbelly of the city is full of criminals who take advantage of these games. Information and lives are traded for coin on a daily basis. Criminals thrive here, though the Chantry maintains a strong presence. Val Royeaux is touted as a safe and beautiful city, but one need not look far to see past the lovely veneer. For mages, the city is something they see from the windows of the White Spire, and they are kept on tight leashes when they are allowed outside its walls. Over the past few years the current Divine and Empress have improved their working relationship, and the power shift has been felt strongly within the city. Templar presence has increased, and recently the Wardens stationed within were asked to surrender the mages who had joined the Order. The sparkling walls of the Grand Cathedral are a sight to behold, but tension waits beneath the surface. The Chantry’s hand reaching ever outwards with a tightly closed fist. Even those among their ranks murmur questioningly. And as the nobles continue to play their games and fight for power, they also see the way things have shifted, and are wary of the ties Empress Celene has started to establish. Still, many of them seek only to take advantage of this. The Wardens need answers, so they have sent some of their own to find them. Those in the Chantry outside of Orlais also have concerns, but seek more information before making the next move. To both these ends, a group has been sent to Val Royeaux from Amaranthine. The Wardens and Templars are tasked with their own missions while their companions are out to seek additional information. And hopefully not start a war in the process. The group will depart from Amaranthine on the 8th of Parvulis for Val Royeaux. They will arrive on varying dates, depending on their method of arrival. Those who go directly to Val Royeaux will arrive on the 20th of Parvulis. The party members are as follows: Wardens: Emil Asmundr Declan Gallagher Einarr Gulbrand Companions: Kore Asena Caius Dukas Noah Durand Ingrid Kief Black Matthew Rhone Marrok Eligia Milagros Ariadne Notaras Lucressia Peron Janeya Rahim Lillie Tharelle Ser Urban Lee Wyland OOC NOTES: The group will be led by all of the mods. We will let you know here when a new round has begun. In order to keep the plot continuously in motion, the mod characters will post once a week. We ask that the players post a minimum of once per every activity period, in order to keep up with the advancing plot. Once everyone has posted, a mod will post again to move the plot forward. Watch this post for updates and to keep track of information that is happening in the group. |
