SEEK THE MEN IN YELLOW

[Swgrclaŋ 697]

♫

 

Across the land, though concentrated particularly around the outskirts beyond the realm of Celia’nor, one may find scrolls nailed down to all manner of what will hold them. One may find them nailed to message boards, and wooden walls, and upon the bark of trees, and even among divine altars and remnant scenes of war and battle upon the roads, the fields, the realms.

 

 

Each and every scroll was colored a particular shade of yellow that catches the eye easily, seeming to have been dyed in such a way as to lack any imperfections in the color’s mark upon the pages. One would find that, initially, the unfurled scrolls were blank, but to hold them open and up before the light of the sun or any remarkable light at all will reveal hidden words written with the same ink, visible only from a glossiness that helped to hide these words from the lazy and impatient. They say:

 

“SEEK THE MEN IN YELLOW.

 

WE RENOUNCE ALL MANTLES AND GLORIES, WE DENOUNCE ALL ALIGNMENTS TO THE LIGHT AND THE DARK. ALL THINGS BUT PURITY ARE EQUAL TO DUST IN OUR YELLOW HANDS.

 

THESE POWERS MAN IS CAPTURED BY, THEY HAVE NEVER GIVEN AN ANSWER TO HIS HIGHEST PURSUIT. THEY WILL NEVER DELIVER HIS DESERVED SALVATION. 

 

TO BE OFFERED POWER, AND DEMANDED OF LOYALTY, BY DEAD MEN AND FALSE IDOLS, MEANS YOU ARE A VICTIM TO MANIPULATION, TO BE CHAINED TO THE LOWEST THRESHOLD OF YOUR STRENGTH. THEY FEAR WHAT YOU CAN BECOME WHEN CURSELESS.

 

SO FERVENT ARE WE, THE YELLOW, WHO SEEK A XANTHOUS FLAME OF PURITY TO BURN AWAY THESE CURSES THAT BIND US.

 

HEED THIS WELL; THE MAN IS THE MASTER OF THE WORLD. HE ANSWERS TO NO THING OR CREATURE. FOREVER SHALL HIS CLAIMANCY OUTSHINE THE INTERLOPING POWERS THAT COME ABOVE AND FROM BELOW.

 

SEEK THE EXCERPTS. WE LAY THEM ACROSS THE LAND AS YOUR EYES GRACE THIS YELLOW. ADORN OUR SIGNALS, SO THAT WE WILL KNOW THAT YOU KNOW.

 

WE MUST BREAK THE FOUR CURSES THAT BIND US. THERE IS NO GREATER GLORY THAN TO DEFY THE FELL-GOD.”

Ser Anthony would take one of the notices for himself.

Ser Victor, similarly, took a slip for himself and read through it, eyeing it. He'd fold the notice, and stuff it into his sporran.

sounds like a fear and hunger kaiser larp kind of sick...
