A SUMMON TO LIGHT

A SUMMON TO LIGHT

In the year of our Lord,

14th of Lothar’s Gift 79 B.A

 

 

 

ON KNOWN AND SPECULATED VAMPYRES

 

Family, friends, beloved kin of the Realms and of the noble flock. For ages, our lands have been cursed by the persistent atrocity of vampyres among Darkspawn. And while their attacks might have grown slimmer at least in the experience of some, we still sadly can’t say that the world has fully rid itself of this problem. It is, accordingly, our tragic duty to report the crimes and sacrilege of one of these beasts: as once we learn of a Vampyre, is it not the duty of Canondom to seek its destruction? 

 

Years ago, we read as the Inquisition of the Church declared the finding and righteous death of a vampyre by the name of Allessandra Amador, a woman who wormed her way into an ancient House and was yet little more than the spawn of Iblees. Now once again, we find ourselves in a situation where a man who would once claim noble heritage has been not only found out to be one of these blood-sucking daemons and was previously executed, but recently made a grotesque attempt on the life of a daughter of our noble flock.

 

We hereby declare Ottomar Lothar von Augusten - also known as Cassian Hessian Herasp - an enemy of our people and furthermore humbly ask that his Holiness the High Pontiff Sixtus V to formally excommunicate Ottomar, as he is not only proven Darkspawn, but has also named himself a Saint among his heathen followers. Further still, the crimes of the supposed “Saint Cassian” only came to light when he and his followers took the eyes of Lady Olenna Katerina Haverlock, leaving the young noblewoman of Aaun fully blinded and, carved upon her arm, the mark of a star.

 

A detail recollection of the names and appearances of  the following confirmed and speculated darkspawn have been included to petition their similar excommunication:

 

I. Ottomar a.k.a Cassian Hessian Herasp: confirmed vampyre who possesses a dark magic that allows for the shifting of features. He may be seen with red or long black hair tied into a ponytail. Reddish-brown or blue eyes. When upset, his veins will pulse black; his shadows will writhe and grow large; his voice distorted with a thunderous boom. Previously disowned by the von Augusten family. Was cured of his vampyrism but still aids and abets vampyres and darkspawn. Leader and “Saint” of “Church of Saint Cassian.”

 

II. Calleina: A brunette, wood elfess with golden eyes. A confirmed vampyre and a member of the so-called “Church of Saint Cassian.” Speculated heathen relationship with Ottomar. 

 

III. Vukosav Radomavic: A confirmed vampyre previously investigated by the church about a century ago. He is the leader of the coven and also possesses the same shapeshifting ability as Ottomar. He has long black hair, a mustache, and a beard. He can be seen wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, a blue-fronted vest with a red back, and grey-striped pants. He may also wear an eyepatch over his left eye. Refers to those he has squired as his “children.”

In addition to the physical description of Vukosav Radomavic we would like to bring attention to another serious matter. This comes in aid to the case against this individual. We have been made aware of an altar within his property of Aaun, Horen Road 3. If one should enter the property and take themselves into this gentleman’s basement they would surely find said altar alongside a coffin. 

 

IV. Amadea von Augusten: Mother of Ottomar and wife of Konstantin von Augusten. Confirmed vampyre. Features unknown. Forced Ottomar to be turned. 

 

V. Monika von Augusten: Sister of Ottomar. Caught aiding and abetting vampyres. Was present with Amadea and Vukosav at Ottomar’s turning. Likely to be turned either by force or choice when of age. 

 

VI. Vamir: Speculated darkspawn. Wears a blue coat and hood. Face is shrouded in black and cannot be identified. 

 

VII. Morpheus Greymoor: Speculated darkspawn.

 

A warning was shared with Lady Olenna Haverlock that may be seen as a concern for all human nations. It was advised to her by Ottomar to move from human societies to prevent being impacted by what was referred to as “The Plagues”. The seemingly-natural disasters of Haense, Whitespire, and Lemonhill were in fact caused by darkspawn, mages, and other evil-intentioned individuals who seek to create mass casualties for humanity. Their goal is to make humanity suffer for outcasting them - most likely due to their statuses as darkspawn or their allies. These Plagues shall not spare any human settlement and they shall return in due time. This is but a rumour that may need to be taken seriously through procuring further evidence on the matter.

 

Due to the nature of vampyres and the precedent set by Hanseti-Ruska’s Allesandra Edict, we further humbly suggest the von Augusten household might pursue testing by aurum and salt to ensure their continued sanctity and quell any doubt as to whether the wretched Ottomar and Amadea spread their foul nature to other kin.

 

We ask in God’s holy name.

 

Amen.

LORD Dimitri Otto Kortrevich

[ECS1999 957]

Sir Ephrem takes a read on the missive, his eyebrow raising as he placed it over his desk "The Lord Vuiller did a bona job finding all those vampyres within his own family..." The Templar pushed the paper within a stack of other documents "I wonder how he found out about all that, maybe he is nen only aware but part of this all? For he is also a Von Augusten by blood"

[TaytoTot 1170]

Monika von Augusten is confused, as she never witnessed her brother being turned! She tugged onto her father's coat. "Papa. . .what did ich do vrong?" @TheosVult

[Borin 5259]

"OOOH SHIT" Bishop Odo says "It's time to put on Ven. OJ's lucky stabbin' hat, we have spooks to gank!"

[TreeSmoothie 4901]

A young Baron caught wind of the news, stewing away in his study with a pipe hanging from his lips. "These darkspawn ..." John remarked, lowly, with a scowl. "They ought to be purged -- and sent back to whence they came! To Hell!"

 

Swirling in his heart was a new, holy fervour: the Royal Legate began sharpening his blade.

[_yink_ 348]

A young woman fueled by pure rage and hate fire sported quite the satisfied smirk as soon as the missives were all sent. All she wanted was justice for her best friend. For Gwenyth Vilac? These missives were only the beginning,

[CaffeinatedCrow 162]

Milky gray eyes looked over the missive, and there's a scowl written upon pallid features. "I told him he was stupid..." A baritone voice mutters to herself, before she tosses the missive into a nearby fire. "Ancestors help us, or help me not kill my son myself..."

[MapleSunflower 1049]

Darkness was the price to pay.

Names, descriptions, locations.

 

They rang off the blindfolded Haverlock's tongue with lightning speed as her words graced every corner of Aevos. Her sight was taken from her and from them she'd take their very lives. The author could no longer write, but the very power of night shivered when she spoke.

 

She'd burn their village with words of fire.

[Andustar 2121]

"The sins of the past have finally caught up to Ottomar. May he and his followers be called to account for their atrocities!"

Albéric stated assuredly as he read the missive.
 

[Drdobetter 89]

A hushed voice sings a song to a white haired babe, As the man holds the babe close to his chest. As the song subsides the baby is lifted into the air, A smile spreading across the mans features "Though they seek me, They shall not find me." he once more draws the baby close, Waggling a finger near it to intice it to play "Though they hurt me, They shall never hurt you." The room then grows dark and calm, The mans veins running black with tainted ichor "No one will ever hurt you.. My son."

(Ottomars turning was attended by no one, The ooc knowledge that it was going on was shared, Not the IC <3)

[TheosVult 325]

Konstantin von Augusten would sit arguing with the missive's writters... ignorant to the fact they had already released the missive during their negotiation talks "Gottanverdammt! Monika ist but ein child und Ich don't know of Amadea's whereabouts!"

[Me_llamo... 495]

Countess Eirene Linh Vuiller gasps at the missive, not fully knowing if she should get close to the Von Augustens, or if she should allow her children to see them, fearful they might be turned forcibly into vampyres if they interacted for enough time

[critter 2470]

Henrik Amador reviews the missive by the hearth of the Royal Valdev Library, recalling with a sour grimace the shame of watching his mother handle their own vampyr issues when he was but a child. 

 

Though on the other side of the continent, he eyes his blade laying by the flame, and the young soldier knows he will raise it when his Balian friends call. Especially for darkspawn.

[FashionBeard 224]

Grand Master Halston Veyont reads over the missive spreading copies to his ordermen within the Holy Order of Saint Jude. He'd look to two in particular and announce;
"Brother Gerard, Damian. We have a beastia, check the section on vampyres, we will handle this ourselves if we can, GODs good flock deserve what rest we can afford them."

Philip Laurent Halcourt grabbed his crossbow off the wall slipping a bolt into it as he shook his head.

 "Shame....Damn shame."
