* A few days before the RP begins, **Lucifer** finishes torturing an information broker who betrayed him, only barely letting the traitor escape with his life just so he can warn others not to mess with **Lucifer**. Afterwards, he meets with his Bonded and lieutenant, **Delilah Ashwell**, to discuss a plan to invade the Homini fief of Spieti and cripple the other fiefs. He needs intel to commence the invasion, so he sends **Delilah** ahead of the marching army to get into Spieti hold disguised as refugee and find out as much as she can. (pg. 1-5, 7, 10)

## November 6th, 7221

* **Belgael** flies to King's Isle in search of **Elodi**. **Elodi** is nowhere to be found. **Belgael** falls off the isle and begins the flight to the city of Zion. Unseen, **Ariel** watches his descent. (pg. 1) An hour or so later, **Belgael** is nearly frozen through and struggling to land. **Zuriel**, passing by, sees **Belgael's** struggle and takes to the air to rescue him. They sloppily fall to the pavement and **Belgael**, not realizing his rescuer is his despised coworker, goes for a kiss. The two recognize each other and separate swiftly in embarrassment. (pg. 9, 15.) **Belgael** takes **Zuriel** to his uncle **Jehudiel** and his Bonded, **Petra**, for healing. **Jehudiel** does not recognize **Belgael** as kin (that's his nephew) and heals **Zuriel**. **Zuriel** finds **Jehudiel's** countenance disturbing, as it reminds him of his dead daughter, **Sathariel. Petra** heals **Belgael** but notes to her distress that his feathers are falling off. Her Faith does not heal this. **Jehudiel** also attempts a healing but recognizes Vice for what it is and tells **Petra** to leave **Belgael** alone. **Belgael** waits for **Zuriel** to be healed and then flees. (pg. 15-20)
* Having just killed **Kasyade (**a wandering scholar and recent escapee from the jails of Zion), **Ahsa** begins the hunt for **Kasyade's** journal, a highly dangerous object **Ahsa** has been tasked with retrieving. **Sathariel**, who has likewise been looking for **Kasyade**, is devastated to discover **Ahsa** has killed him and beats **Ahsa** up with a chair. They fight, **Ahsa's** dust allergy gets to him, **Sathariel** dumps a bookcase on **Ahsa**, steals the journal, and runs. When **Ahsa** comes to, he sets **Kasyade's** shack on fire and waits for the Forgotten to retrieve him. (pg 1, 6, 11-12, 14)
* **Idriel** works through all the night coming up with a new plan for the Elysian war effort. Remembering company is coming , he cleans up and puts on a new pot of coffee. Enter **Petra** and **Jehudiel**. **Jehudiel** and **Idriel** discuss possible sabotage, with the occasional comment from **Petra**, who thinks the Homini would be a good source of alliance. But **Asutiel** was put in charge of Homini alliance ... **Jehudiel** gives **Idriel** permission to begin a proper assault and says he'll look towards renewed efforts regarding alliance. (pg. 1-4, 6-8)  **Petra** and **Jehudiel** walk, wherein **Petra** confesses concerns that **Idriel** is right and the Homini--and by extension, she--are irredeemable, a fear **Jehudiel** refutes by reminding her that it's not her bloodline that determines her worth, it's her personal qualities. (pg. 8-9)
* **Florizel** publishes a fire essay titled "*Denial of Memory and the Erasure of The Self*." (pg. 1) **Jehudiel**, regular reader of Zion's literary journals, takes **Petra** with him when he goes to **Florizel's** office to discuss her essay. **Florizel** gives **Petra** tea but leaves **Jehudiel** hanging, a salty way of expressing her righteous frustration with her father for wiping his memory of his children.  **Florizel** roasts **Jehudiel** into oblivion and back during an otherwise tidy discussion between the three. (pg. 8-13) **Jehudiel** concedes his loss to his companions, then tells **Florizel** he'd like her to move to Jehiliath for her own safety, as he is concerned future war might take Zion and with it, **Florizel**. **Florizel** is somewhat confused but agrees. (pg. 14-18)
* **Phillip Destramus** recalls disturbing visions and memories of being other people, other species, an illness that he considers bringing to his local priest before realizing that he's not **Philip**, he's **Behemoth**, a monster now waking in her swamp-cave. (pg. 1)  She is greeted by her voriphilic high priest and other followers, having spent the past three days sleeping off the caravan she ate. She neglects her high priest's desires and leaves to look for another meal, which she finds in the form of a band of Homini scholars. (pg. 4, 7) Among these Homini are **Morgan** and **Luka**. They share a quiet moment of tenderness before **Morgan** takes **Luka's** hand and leads him into the woods with the rest of the Homini. **Behemoth** quietly consumes one of their number, a young man named **Marshall**, before coming across the party and eating another Homini right in front of the band. Realizing her new victims are scholars, she pursues them with even greater gusto. She makes the mistake of pursuing **Luka**, who initially tries to force **Morgan's** escape before **Morgan's** OSDD kicks in and they use their necromancy to resurrect the half-digested corpses in **Behemoth's** stomach, prompting projectile vomiting. **Behemoth** flees, leaving the Homini to regroup. **Morgan** forces a half-dead woman to pass on and then curls up with **Luka**, waiting for orders. **Pascal**, **Marshall's** previous companion, wagers that every day they argue over the existence of god, betting their life on it. He calls this, "Pascal's Wager." (pg. 7-8, 10, 11-15, 18)
	+ Calista Lovelock is a Homini slave who has escaped from Morgul fief. She stops to wash the dirt off her hands when she is menaced by a lone Sheolfolk, who she quickly dispatches with a knife to the throat. She continues on her way to get to a Homini-controlled fief. (pg. 1)
* Aquila, lone survivor of the Nitarem, visits Sariel, Archangel of Diligence. Aquila intends to tell Sariel of their plan to visit the ruins of their destroyed hometown, but before they can say anything Sariel tells them a secret--that her unborn baby is half-Homini. Sariel also confesses that, due to her weakness after the Sundering, she may die in childbirth unless she has the strength of being Bonded.

* Pirate Lord and General of Anarchy Leviathan travels with a band of eight, including his lover Shayel, to a Homini-Elysian village outside any fief.

The messenger leaves a note elaborating that **Idriel's** plans were intercepted by the enemy, undoing weeks of hard work. **Idriel** begins to have a mental breakdown until **Nepheriel** calms him, prompting **Idriel** to accidentally reveal a secret; that he is a dying man. He elaborates that he has contracted an incurable illness, though he cannot say what the source of it is, and begs **Nepheriel** to leave and find someone else. **Nepheriel** insists on staying by him and **Idriel** begins to realize just how afraid of **Nepheriel** he is. He eventually convinces **Nepheriel** to go, claiming that he needs to rest for a few days, and breathes a sigh of relief. (pg. 27)

This man is **Balthasar Mannsworth**, anotorious conman posing as an upper-class doctor, and he has brokered a strange partnership with the mansion's residents, the Order of Ultra-Science. He speaks to his contact, an unpleasant old scientist named **Doctor Oswald**, who reveals that in addition to his usual gold fee for medicine supplies, he must also test an experimental medicine of theirs on the populace of Spieti and bring them the results.
