MANDATED TESTING OF DARKSPAWN

[milkyi 1985]

In the year 14 of the Age of Rights and the Age of Reckoning . . .

 

A WOODCUT OF THE HIGH CITY OF WINBURGH

 

𝔗he Captain-General, we the Order of St. Jude, alongside countless innocent folk, have beheld the ruthless onslaught of the undead, who afflict our lands and many others. They lay waste to homesteads, desecrate cathedrals and monasteries, and assail our Burgundian Legionnaires. Meanwhile, a cursed disease has rooted in neighbouring realms, its talons dragging through mankind, known as Vampyrism. It is rumoured that these plagued creatures have slaughtered Baron Cunimund hal'Cingedoz, razing his village of Bodbwodz upon the peaks of the Langkettes mountains. 

 

A list has been wrought of these Vampyres, amid others, deemed darkspawn by Lord Johan Vuiller, for which we owe great thanks. The folk of Aaun have, of their own accord, resorted to oust them with force through the fiery destruction of their once-homes. Overall, there has been an escalation in encounters and sightings of these creatures of the night.

 

Henceforth, it is sanctioned and decreed that compulsory testing will be implemented for all Winburgh citizens and all vassals, including nobility, of the League of Veletz. Each man, woman, and child shall be subjected to scrutiny. No exemptions shall be granted to those who object; no corner shall remain unexplored, and no stone will be left unturned, as we cleanse ourselves of this blight. 

 

* Refusal to be tested will result in a spontaneous trial to be carried out with a Knight of Veletz overseeing. Upon being found guilty, the standard consequences will be issued. Upon being found innocent, one will be fined no less than one hundred and fifty mina.

 

The following examiners have been appointed to perform the tests and are confirmed to be free of any corruption or influence;

 

Captain-General of the League of Veletz, Sir Gaspard 

Hand of the Captain-General, Sir Hannibal

Odoacer delivered a transcribed document in the city square of Winburgh. He continues to write his accounts of the Battle for Lemon Hill in the Castle Priory of the Order of St. Jude.

Grand Master Halston Veyont of the Order of Saint Jude returns from his talk with Gaspard, re-reading the missive saying out loud "I should really buy that man a drink" before installing hinges for a door, all so that a little blind girl might sleep in his office.

Father Pious not seeing his name on the list begins to write a scathing reply letter to the grandmaster @FashionBeardregarding the error
