Sorsley Ende

**Sorsley Ende** is a non-player character in *Triangle Strategy*.

## Profile/Story

### Background

House Ende's standing in Hyzante was in decline when Sorsley came to power. To earn extra funds for his house, Sorsley began illegally smuggling salt to Aesfrost with the help of his fellow minister, Tenebris Mistel. Sorsley hopes to restore House Ende's standing by any means neccessary.

### Saintly Seven, Minister of Salt

Sorsley is one of the Saintly Seven of the Holy State of Hyzante, and the Minister of Salt. Sorsley and his House have managed Hyzante's salt trade for generations, ensuring Hyzante's economy flourished.

Sorsley and Exharme Marcial represent Hyzante in the Norzelian tournament during Chapter II: To Arms, Brave Warriors. Although they put up a good fight, Exharme and Sorsley lose to House Wolffort.

If the party surrenders Prince Roland in Chapter VII, Part I: A Soul upon the Scales, Sorsley will seize the opportunity and attack the weakened House Wolffort with House Ende's might. Whether House Wolffort sides with Avlora or House Ende, Sorsley's plans are derailed when Minister Exharme Marcial conquers House Wolffort for himself.

Sorsley Ende decides to opportunistically help the struggling Wolffort demesne by sending them supplies. He offers to send more, but at a cost. House Wolffort must illegally smuggle Sorsley's salt to Aesfrost in order to prove their loyalty to him.

After Serenoa delivers the salt, both he and Sorsley are summoned to a trial by The Hierophant. Although Serenoa confesses Sorsley's crime, Sorsley vehemently tries to deny his involvement with the salt smuggling.

* + If Serenoa finds enough evidence

House Wolffort sneaks into Sorsley's encampment, searching for ledgers proving Sorsley's illicit salt trade. Although they find the ledgers, they have to drive off a small band of Sorsley's most loyal soldiers. Fortunately, ministers Exharme Marcial and Kamsell Pharant break into Sorsley's encampment, and receive the incriminating ledgers Serenoa found. Sorsley is executed by the hierophant the next day, leaving a saints' seat open.
