Judgement

"Judgement" is the twenty-first episode of Regolus: Dark Age. It is the sixth episode of Book 2: Courting the Divine. 
== Official Description ==
"Having taken the Sentinel Paradigm, our adventurers join the secret order. However, questions and answers about the divine beg addressing. As secrets linger and truths are slow to surface, tension stirs within the fellowship. Minds intertwine, harsh words are spoken, and promises made with confidence prove a heavier burden than expected. ”Judgement (YouTube).
== Notes ==
Lore emphazised before the Session started:
* The Progeny are the original Divines, the siblings of Ünen, and therefore predate the Crucible. Just like Ünen, they were created for a specific purpose. [RDA 1x15]
* Yla was not made by Uro. [RDA 1x15]
“The Infinite was the first child, first to spawn from the Void, first to think of thinking and then it tore itself asunder, a miracle of creation. One half to forge the Prime, one half to seek the Sun. For indeed, the Sun was not born of the Infinite, but a foundling. Born were the seven. Seven fractured fragments of the Infinite. One stayed behind, is shooing its brethren, becoming separate and divine in its own right, now the Moonsmith. The other six, these are the true heirs, the children of the child, the Progeny. ” [Extract from RDA 1x15]
== Plot ==
=== Part 1 ===
* Theagus just gave Bertrand a sign that someone in the office is in contact with the divine. Bertrand activates the Truth Teller again, asking for clarification. JB thinks he talked to a god, so he tells them about the dream he had before they went to the lighthouse about a being who called themselves Sin. Bertrand takes out a book and opens up a page with the divine family tree on it. The only one who would make sense is The All-That-Moves, Sindar. Aelys remembers that there is the old, ruined temple on the beach here in town that was directed to her. 
* Lenore speaks up that she is the only one in this room working for a god and is willing to answer questions. She met V - or Væxtaar as she shows on the family tree - in the library she worked in, around 5,5 years ago in the real timeline and started working for him maybe just over 5 years ago. For Bertrand that means the gods aren’t silent and not gone, dead or just chose to leave like they all believed they did. Lenore tells her that besides the people currently in this room only Dr. Iridia knows about it, but Iridia told her she would inform all of her kin because the other option would have been putting a tracker in Lenore’s body. Lenore continues to explain that she works for V as some kind of glorified assistant but very low in the hierarchy. He asks her to do stuff for him but sometimes she goes a long time without specific orders and sometimes she doesn’t even know the reason why these tasks need to be done. Bertrand asks if she knows that in the mythology Væxtaar was one of the few Divines not able to contact or traverse on the Prime plane. Lenore didn’t know, but Bertrand is still wondering how they are able to communicate now. Lenore explains that it is some kind of manifestation most of the time. Bertrand reminds them of their vows and tells them to keep these information to themselves, no matter what happens to them, at least until they have a grasp on what is happening in the Heartwilds and find out if the Divines are returning in any more material capacity than that.
* Theagus informs the Commander about the Spirit that brought him back to life, Hope. He already talked to the Doctor about this and she told him to be wary.
* Aelys asks about the incident that happened on the bridge in Sulevara a couple of weeks ago. Bertrand heard vague reports that there was an attempted reconnaissance mission that devolved into an attempted kidnapping. She is still cross-referencing it with the reports she received from Acastarok and Group A about the disappearance of Salvador on the outskirts of the Rusted Tomb. There are things too similar to ignore but she does not have a conclusion yet.
* Lenore makes sure they are safe here now with what they have revealed. Bertrand tells them that they are, “as long as you are aware of the importance of this information and how drastically crucial it is to keep it to yourselves and to the most trusted [...], [- only] those who have sworn the Sentinel Paradigm can be informed of this” or else the balance they find themselves in will be disturbed.
* Dr. Iridia might already have notified her kin and with the Illithid member in the Court of the Star, the enemies might already know as well.
* Commander Bertrand asks what they currently know about the gods. JB explains in short that they are not able to be here completely and something has happened and now they are hoping to be able to get back. They were spoken to by the will of Ünen but they don’t expect it to be Ünen themselve. Bertrand says that they never may know the full story about the gods but they at Sentinel have access to ancient ressources that allow them a little bit more clarity. The theory is that the creation of the moon some thousands of years ago is part of the major reason that caused the silence to begin with - or at least the destabilization of the celestial parties they know as gods. The death of one of them cannot be taken any other way than with the utmost seriousness. There seem to be two factions of the Divine, the Crucible and the Eclipse. Allegiances might have changed over time, battlelines are being drawn and an action 1013 years ago caused a final fracture, rendering them devoid of any contact at all. The Penitent gathered information about this over the last 900 years. They know that some of the divine are able to nebulously exert their influence in some way, shape or form. But the gods they know do not match the geological records they currently have. “There are those who should remain in common knowledge but have slipped under the radar and there are those that should be counted among the silent that have had strange and rumored appearances over the last thousand of years anyway. Namely it seems there are records [...] of a member of the Crucible that have been struck almost entirely from common knowledge. [...] Aldwyn, the Scales, written in ancient texts very clearly part of the mythology, but when asked about to anyone who still purports to be faithful on this day, oftentimes people will get hazy about their existence at all.” It is like they were erased, but they can only speculate. “There have been reports over particularly the last 500 years, sigils of a broken blade appearing where they shouldn’t, sightings of a being holding great amounts of power and assisting with mighty and purposeful decisions where perhaps mortals were not fit to make that judgment call alone and this symbol does not correlate with any of our known members of either Pantheon.” Bertrand asks the group to be on the lookout for these signs/symbols. 
* It is unclear how the allegiances changed but what Bertrand can say is that Hylan, Patron Saint of Mortal Kind, is aligned with the Sentinel cause, as they were the reason Xenarius found their way to the Heralds in the first place. The family tree shows a line directly from Aldwyn to Hylan, but it seems as if the memory of the child has maintained stronger than the memory of their progenitor. Lenore informs Bertrand that a version of the Herald of Longing recognized her to be working for an ally, so V might be on their side as well. He basically just wants to be with his family but Lenore hasn’t met them or knows anything about them. 
* JB asks for clarification on the Progenies again who predate even the gods. The goal is to prevent them from returning too early but they don’t know if the gods have anything to do with that. “The Progeny are [...] more conceptual, more etheric and in some way, shape or form linked to the [...] Faded Realm, in a way the other gods are not known to have been linked with. We know that the Progeny wield great and unintelligible power but cannot access it themselves. And we know there are powers at work who are attempting to call them now.”
* With the three lighthouses that are still standing and the direct invitation to the Lighthouse of Knowledge in Disterra by the Herald, Bertrand thinks it would be best to go there next but they nevertheless have to go to all three as expediently as possible. Gold speaks up that if they get a beacon, he can access the ley lines for a quicker travel method. Gold works for a great purpose, to make sure the visions, the ones that started it all, are true. He must complete the task assigned to him or else it was all for nothing. He, as leader, will help them if they can get a beacon - if it works, that is, he’s not sure about that. 
* Katari knows what an oath means. With this new contract, she is part of the group and will intend to uphold it as much as she can. 
* Regardless, there is still the fact that Aelys wants to go home. To get to Disterra with the worms it will be at least a week. Bertrand made a vow to Aelys. Aelys asked that they let her go home, but Bertrand just promised to help her. This could be the help. She is not sure if there are any alternatives anymore. Bertrand does not want to send them into the cradle of the enemy - family or otherwise - until they make a step in the right direction and make sure the enemies are not a step ahead of Sentinel anymore. Aelys thinks it is possible that they are simply trying to fix the dreamscar. But if that is the case, their misguidance is far beyond help. They must know the purpose of the beacons and if they use them regardless, they are working against Sentinel. Aelys is the only one with deeper connections to the Court of the Star and knows more about them, but for the rest of the group Hareem is the only representation of it they have. And even if he is not directly part of the Court, he is working with them and that means his actions are probably in line with the Court’s plans. Hareem knew about all this and left them to die, but Aelys was still called back home. This inner conflict is difficult for Aelys but Bertrand thinks it would be best to get at least one beacon first before they talk more about it. If Gold is really able to travel with the help of the ley lines, it will be easy to get to Heart of God, as they traverse directly through it and through the land around it. 
* During this conversation about the gods, Synnove stayed quiet for most of the time. Lenore decides to send her a message: “I want to protect you. You want to share Stella’s light. She is not on the tree. They don’t know her. Think before you act.” The book on Synnove’s hip gets hot, but Stella is not able to interrupt the spell. Synnove answers: “I don’t need your protection. Let me lead my own life. Just because it’s not on this tree, doesn’t mean it’s right.” Sending that answer, the heat immediately stops.
* They decide to go to Disterra next. Bertrand will inform the Copper Legion S-Rank Leader over there, Dóxa, who also serves as the captain of the Sentinel branch on site. She tells them to seek out Dóxa and the other members in Disterra. The journey will not be easy: The first destination should be about a three day ride from Faleeria to the encampment just short of Storm’s Gap. They will help the group make the storm run and pass on through the border of the Infernal Caliphate, as it can be dangerous to pass the large tempest. There will be both Vanguard tropes and Light Hunters there to assist them. Once they are on the other side, they should make haste to the Lighthouse of Knowledge. Bertrand does not know what will await them there but tells them to be prepared and leave soon.
* It is then time for them to get their Sentinel amulet that will serve as their guiding reminder of the oath they have sworn and that will link them “now and always, to us, to the Sentinels that have served and watched before and to the Sentinels that will watch after you.” The enchantment on them will not only protect them but provide them with an alias, a cover name that is recognizable immediately to other members of the Order but allows them to mask their identities.
* And so they each get their pendants, the symbols glow and a voice reveals their code names:
** Scion - Aelys
** Wanderer - Theagus 
** Stormfront - Lenore
** Aegis - JB
** Lightbringer - Synnove
** Pariah - Katari 
* When Synnove takes the pendant, the book heats up again but the glow from the item seems to almost suppress it. 
* Bertrands alias is Commander, such is always the way for the spear holder. When someone is passed down the spear by their predecessor, one does learn things very fast. 
* With new names and a plan to where to go next, Bertrand also updates their Ranking from D to B. Not any higher because they only passed the exams not a month ago and they can’t catch the attention from outsiders, especially when Hareem thinks they are probably dead. With the new rank also come new suitable lodgings in the city for when they return. After Katari worked with the group before and received all this new information as well, their arrangements are changed as well so she can continue serving with this group. Lenore will serve as a consultant to the Legion on matters of Theology and the Divine. Bertrand will inform the High-Scribe later that day of the changes. 
* Before they leave the office, Gold speaks up “And so begin the adventures of the Golden Sentinels, yippee!” 
* On the way out, JB notices a chubby little bird sitting outside in the corner of the window, dark red brown with tips of coral pink white on some of the feathers. It sits there, sees JB seeing it, opens its beak with human teeth, laughs, and flies away.
* They all make their way in different directions. Synnove pulls out her book and writes: “She treats me like a child still, why can’t she just treat me like a friend?” She immediately gets an answer: “She is no friend of yours at all.”
=== Part 2 ===
* While Lenore gets food in the mess hall, JB and Aelys have a conversation in the courtyard. JB tells her about the creepy bird that he saw that seemed like it was listening in on the conversation they had with Bertrand. Aelys believes him and they might have to keep an eye on that, but that was not the reason JB wanted to talk in the first place. The situation with Penance/Purpose is still on his mind. He is fine now, but he was not thinking very clearly and had lost himself for a moment in that fight. The decision to go in between what was happening was his own, but not because he wanted to save Purpose. “I wanted to save you. And I understand that that is not something that you had asked for and the reason I am explaining is that my mindset at the time was very hurt and dark and I felt ashamed and like I failed at protecting my group.” He knows that Aelys thinks what she is doing with the Xilyreon, with feeding it, is okay. That doesn’t mean he likes it, but he respects the decision she made, so he is sorry for trying to make a choice for her at that moment. Aelys doesn’t understand why he wanted to save her, as she has been nothing but an inconvenience for the group in her opinion. JB sees their similarities - they both struggle with control. The difference is that JB tries to gain more and it seems like Aelys tries to give up more of it. Aelys explains that she tries to control it in the best way she can. It will hurt people regardless, so feeding it might be the way to gain at least a bit of control. It is changing, there is more and more clarity for both of them but Aelys still seeks further understanding. She doesn’t know enough yet to give up “the only thing [she has].” 
* Katari is with them in the courtyard and listens in on that conversation. She suggests Aelys and JB should consider sharing a room, as these things usually are best worked out in “intimate but volatile interactions.” Jb doesn’t understand what she means and soon after, Katari leaves the situation before she can say more.
* Aelys has lost her calling but she took the opportunity for something that comes at least close to it, and that makes her feel okay again. JB says that having something that inspires her is a great thing to have, but without it she is not nothing. Aelys disagrees if they talk about her, “Because it has to be.” JB tries to make her understand that they all mean and have something just by being. “You are not nothing without that thing. You are not nothing without your magic. You are what you choose to do.” Life, simply being, is enough - and he challenges her to remember that before he goes looking for the bird.
* Meanwhile, Theagus makes his way to Iridia’s tower where he is greeted by her. After a short chat about Commander Bertrand and Iridia’s upcoming “interview,” Theagus goes on to question Iridia about what happened with Lenore the day prior. Theagus then shyly asks Iridia about their relationship, confessing his feelings for her, “I care for you. In a way that I haven’t ever cared for someone - in such a quick juncture or way.” Iridia admits that her feelings are the same, asking Theagus to be her boyfriend, of sorts.
* Theagus proceeds to tell Iridia to watch as he submits his first shard of temporite to the Seekers of Time, after which Theagus is given the opportunity to transmit a short message back to headquarters. “This is Theagus SOT, returning one of needed temporite to the Seekers of Time. If a message could be sent to me of an explanation of my life and my beginnings in Mobiaux, I would greatly appreciate that.” In response he is told to continue finding temporite and then answers will be given to him as a “functioning member of the Hourglass Court.” 
* Immediately afterwards, Iridia rushes to Theagus, swatting aside his staff, taking his cheeks in her hands, and putting her forehead to his. She brings the two of them into a mindspace only available to the two of them –the thoughtkin– and anyone they choose to let in. Theagus can now use this space to contact Iridia for ten minutes once a day, no matter where or when. Inside their mindspace, they share a moment of mental intimacy, blending together into “one thought.”
* Iridia leaves to go to her meeting with Commander Bertrand.
* Synnove made her way out of Spearhold Keep and into town to get some tea before she headed to the Exactionem Inquisitorio.
* After her breakfast, Lenore sees Aelys in the courtyard and tells her to walk with her to the training area for a sparring session. Synnove told her she wants Lenore to get to know Aelys better, so this seems to be her idea of doing so. Aelys never spared with her siblings, at least not at first as it didn’t seem fair to them. But it would be very interesting for her to spar with her sister Maravix now. Synnove wants Lenore to be nice, so they might as well hang out here. They both get ready to fight. Facing away from Aelys, Lenore takes off her blouse, revealing thick scar tissue on her back with what seems like black ink in it, that goes from underneath her hairline all the way down her spine and coming back up underneath her shoulder blades in a swirl. Lenore says that Synnove told her Aelys had a really hard life and she should go easy on her - or something along those lines. Aelys asks about Lenore’s scars, asking if these are the brands Katari mentioned. Lenore tells her that this is what her people did to her.  “So what, you envy her pity”, Aelys says while revealing the beating and bruising on her arms. “I didn’t ask for her pity and I don’t want it. So please don’t go easy on me and trust me, I won’t go easy on you.” The air shifts around them. They lay down some ground rules. They will use everything in their disposal. Lenore tells her that she did a similar thing with her brother, that they developed a way to come to an understanding while sparring with each other. One punch, one question - the attack hits, you get an answer. Aelys agrees. “If you are capable of speaking at the time, I will allow you to answer me.”
* The sparring begins. Aelys is able to stun Lenore. As the stun takes hold, Aelys’ vision narrows and she loses control, the root tattoo starts to grow up her arm and she has no chance but to channel negative energy. She is able to land a few more hits on Lenore. “Nothing? No quip, no insult?” As the energy seeps into Lenore, Aelys hears the Xilyreon, telling her to go further. Aelys’ world narrows even more. “Nothing?” Aelys asks again and again, but Lenore is not able to answer before with another hit, she falls unconscious. 
* As Synnove is walking to the market, there is a beautiful warmth from her book, inspiring her to go and complete her task.
* A few weeks ago, Aelys made a deal with Halifax - one success in the future to come in exchange for a piece of orichalcum. Aelys is nearly able to get her control back, as from her left palm the Halifax fingerprint begins to glow, narrowing her vision and she is unable to break out. 
* JB just climbed over the roof, still looking for the bird. As soon as he notices what is happening in the courtyard, he immediately leaps down and runs to the training arena, channeling his negative energy and tackling Aelys to the ground. Aelys attention shifts to the new energy.
* Lenore was stunned and saw something shift in Aelys, as the energy washed into her and sent her into darkness. All she sees are three concentric rings of almost glittering obsidian.
* In her narrowed vision, Aelys notices that the energy comes from JB, but it does not matter to her. “Was that from them?” she asks. JB tells her to stop. But Aelys can’t, so she attacks and stuns JB. JB tries to reach her again, pleading her to stop.
* From the window of the fort, Commander Bertrand notices what is happening. She immediately opens the window, spear in hand, ready to jump down.
* In the obsidian darkness around her, Lenore says Væxtaar’s name. “Væxtaar, please, take me to Synnove if this is the end.” She stares at the rings in front of her. Væxtaar speaks: “Will you be unwavering? Unbreaking? Unending? Will you risk all that you are?” The answer from Lenore is ‘yes’ to everything. “Then I will not lose you here.” The rings almost spiral out, her consciousness is wedged between these rings. They start to circle around her before they close like metal blades. “V, I’ll do it” are the last words Lenore says before her consciousness, and her body, vanish. Only Aelys and JB hear these words before Lenore is gone.
* Synnove’s book pulses with a beautiful glowing warmth. 
* From Iridia’s tower, Theagus sees what is happening. He teleports Aelys to where Commander Bertrand will land before he makes his way out of the tower as fast as he can. 
* Aelys is pulled backwards through space, as Bertrand lands exactly on top of her and drives the spear directly though Aelys’ right shoulder, pinning her to the ground. Aelys’ focus gets hazy. She still sees JB’s energy and still feels the need to feed, but it is much further away. Bertrand tries to reach her. “Think very carefully, Aelys, very carefully indeed.” As the haze fluctuates, she hears the Xilyreon laughing. “Pity”, she hears before the haze vanishes and so does the need to feed. Aelys sinks into the sand, choking up, nearly not able to hold back her tears.
* As soon as the stun passes, JB screams out to Synnove through their mental connection - but Synnove does not hear it; it doesn’t reach her. 
* Synnove gets some tea and is informed that Gelfin Flax, the owner of The Palace, was too tied to her ways and wares and did not make it out of the market. But her legacy will continue as best as they can. As Syn stands there for a moment afterwards, the book begins to vibrate. When she opens it, it flips to two pages that are new to her. They seem to have this inky black substance forming a shape on them that looks like a long dark tunnel into the middle vertex of the book. It says “We must assist our shadow in their times of need. This will be a great place of respite for those with a greater purpose. Store what you need within me and it shall pay dividends.” With that Stella means the weeds that need to be weeded. Synnove can compost them here. Synnove asks Stella if she knew the names of the betrayer gods, but Stella does not know of them at all, and doesn't have a need for such names. Synnove didn’t either but feels unprepared now. The pages of the book shift to the very first entry Stella wrote. “You have always been prepared. It is what we are here for. Names are just that, needless, useless words. They may mean nothing to you.” But Synnove thinks knowing the face of their enemies makes it easier for her, for them, to fight them. She will try and learn more about them, to be better prepared and keep the doors shut. The prophet didn’t tell them about this and was not following Stella’s words. Synnove just wishes to know more. A voice comes through that sounds similar to Synnove’s own voice. “Your prophet was wrong. Your prophet is as false as the gods.” When Synnove says she knows that, Stella just asks “Do you?” Syn wants to know why Stella is questioning her. “Because you question me.” Synnove needs her to trust her, just as she trusts Stella. “I trust us. Learn, transcribe, grow.” are the last words Synnove hears before the books snaps shut. 
* Synnove makes her way to the Exactionem Inquisitorio, which is still completely unscathed. In there she not only finds High-Scribe Threnodius but also the new Carrier of Light, Lucen. The latter immediately bows as they see Synnove come in. They have been here waiting this whole time and were very useful in helping keep the Exactionem protected. Synnove hands over the tea to Threnodius. Synnove asks for books about theological studies of the bygone age, and names like the Overseer and the Godkiller. The High-Scribe asks if she seeks the Sun’s grace. He could lend her records on that as well. Threnodius hands her a few books and scrolls including something about the Wheel, the Godkiller Coven and the Treatise of Erthe, Wynd, and Fyr, but only after she gets registered. Synnove agrees and leaves some of her blood here, before she gets the recordings. After talking about their favorite books, Synnove and Lucen leave the building. 
* Lucen asks Synnove for instructions on what to do. Sol is still on his mission and they too would like to know how they can best serve the light and don’t want to intrude on the first carrier’s work - as they are, of course, only the second. Synnove tells them they are never ‘only’ something, so Lucen corrects themself. “I am the second.” Synnove asks them to help rebuild Faleeria. Maybe the old temple on the coastline could be built up again, repurposed for them and brought to a new glory. With the books pressed to Synnove’s chest, she makes her way back to the Keep.
* There is a space carved like a hollow shell in the planes - made long ago, longer than many of its other spaces of kinship. This space is known as Phylaxis - a storm of shade and magic. 
* With a sound like shattering glass in slow-motion, the being once called Lenore awakens, held together by three rings of black glass around her. The storm slowly drifts everywhere and a shape, the figure of a slender being carved from obsidian and cloud materializes into being in front of her. “Væxtaar, I’m sorry”, Lenore says, tears in her eyes. Væxtaar greets her “You have nothing to apologize for.” Lenore thinks she hasn’t been smart and wise but instead has been acting out of anger with no direction. She says she hasn’t been doing what V wanted, but he thinks otherwise. “You have been. Sometimes exceptionally poorly but you have been. This is not your time - it cannot be.” Lenore already had so much extra time and is worried that this was it, and Væxtaar has to tell her that it will be, at least for part of her. He draws his hand out in a line and an impossibly long, beautiful black blade materializes in front of him. He grips the sword. “Your work is not finished. But you cannot return as you are. [...] I will never leave you. For now, I cannot. You will return and you will return changed, like this space I am forced to call my home.” He looks around. “I am sorry but you will be hollow.”
* With the bands around her that are keeping her essence together, Lenore asks questions about the future. She wants to know what happens when he doesn’t need her anymore. “When the day comes that your services are no longer required, you will have left the world in a state better than I could have hoped for it. And then you can rest.” V is sorry to condemn her to such a fate, but such are the burdens of service. They both think they can do better this time. With the sound of breaking glass as he moves, Væxtaar places a cold obsidian hand on the form that was once Lenore’s cheek. Even though Lenore does not have such a form anymore, she can still feel the contact. “You did not ask for this, not then, not now. But there is much avenging to be done.”
* Lenore asked for a favor. She knows she has asked a lot but wasn’t appreciative of it because she blamed V for what her family did to her. Væxtaar agrees to hear it, as she “will have plenty to blame [him] for after this.” And so Lenore speaks, tears streaming down her face. “If I can’t save Synnove, can I rest early? I don’t know how much I can take and I understand if you need me to do longer. It might be easier if I feel hollow but it really hurts.” Væxtaar agrees. “If she is truly beyond help, then the Shepherd will take you both. I intend on making it easier for you to attain this purpose. For you to save her, as she needs to be saved.” He readies the blade and points it directly at the space between the first two bands of glass. “Are you ready, Lenore?” With a deep breath, Lenore nods. “I bid you farewell. And I look forward to greeting who you become.” Lenore feels nothing, as with the sound of fracturing glass, the blade shears straight through her essence in the middle of her chest.
