The Death of a Simple Man

[Vetren54 368]

Mattington would lament the death of a true strongman of the faith.  He'd remember Rory not only a promising pontiff who would have brought lasting reforms to the church, but as a crusader against the undead and a true friend.  He'd sign the lorraine cross across his chest. 

[HurferDurfer1 2979]

A broken old man sits in his leaking tenement room, covered in a layer of dust as he hadnt moved in some time, doing naught but listening to the world outside. Before too long here hears of the Pontiffs death, a thin hand clawing in anger, thinking to reduce that same rotting ghoul that served for no logical reason, to cinders, before relaxing his hand. "No, dont have the fight in me anymore... that rotten ***** will get whats coming one day."

[Zebanamana 410]

               Ludwig set down his pen and shut his eyes when a young page boy delivered the missive on the High Pontiff’s demise. His office hung silent, but for the distant sounds that carried over from Quarryville as men hurried the reconstruction. He had only met Rory twice, but the man’s passion was clear and absolute. The Arch Chancellor rubbed his temple. Had circumstances been different, he believed things between them would not have ended in such an explosion of anger.

 

               “I will not begrudge him.” He says as the face of the Pontiff and those of the Haensetic people who raged against him in the ruins of the Western town crossed his mind.

[Beamon4 1690]

Hefron de Savin would sit in his Room steamed with Anger with the death of the High Pontiff and how it happened "He was on a Diplomatic Mission and you killed him.....I hope Justice will be served to these men who dishonored Courland by killing one who only sought peace." 

[Andustar 4143]

Holy Ser Viktor would frown after hearing the news, his head bowed in respect "Dravo your Holiness."

"B-b-b-b-b-but Courland is peaceful?!?" The young Courlandic peasant Gregory questions shaking his head. His father Hamele put his arm around his son and replied "I fought against Oren to end the tyranny and oppression that they placed upon the world, but it seems King Tobias was not truthful, they were not the oppressors...We were." Hamele looked to the many keeps looming on the horizon of the Asul plains "Emily!" Hamele called out to his wife "Pack your things, we need to leave this place. I no longer feel safe living in a kingdom where the armed guards that are supposed to keep us safe, murder unarmed old men." With that the next days were spent packing Hamele and his family left the dangerous kingdom of Courland behind, for sunnier days elsewhere.

"Word will spread," Peter Sigismund drawls, hooking his digits taut to his calloused palms as he spied the Courlandic banner from afar, rampant with anger, the distraught youth would mutter aloud, "Courland will fall to their own stupidity, aiding the Undead? How vile! Especially against a man of GOD, no less! Courlandic heretics!"

[Vege 4804]

The King groans as he hears of the news from his bedchamber, shocked and appalled by the actions of his men.

[octofishie 60]

The young Manuel Palaiologos would appear physically shaken upon hearing the news, perhaps this True Faith was not for him and perhaps Courland could not be his home either. He put his shabby cloak around his shoulders and headed out the door to walk and think about his future that had seemed so settled just the day before. 

[ibraheemc2000 2965]

Khalid Ibn Mahmoud Hears the news shaking his head and goes to the musjid to pray for the lost soul with a tear roll down his cheek he prays for the man to be aloud the gardens of paradise and prays that these people who committed the murder to be brought to justice for the murder of a old man "Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un.(We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return)" he then rises putting his helmet back on and sheds a few tears on how people can not live in peace as the people of Haria.

[Rudi 1747]

Ves Argo, the young Bishop of Carasca tosses an olive branch into the flames of his citadel. He'd emit a sad sigh before preparing everything for the arrival of his fellow cardinals

[Jentos 9425]

"It's always the best that go first..." mutters Faramyr Blackwood. Scratching his left shoulder.

[jamyei 45]

"Errrr sh*t...." he whistles suspiciously as he walks away from the news which he should have prevented, being the pope's guard and all.

"The ghoul will be brought to the sword and the man who aided it, if he aided, will be punished for his actions" Says a Holy Knight

Courlandic peasant Gregory

Rotger raises a brow having never heard of nor met this 'Gregory' person.
