March upon the swamps - a notice to all

MARCH UPON THE SWAMP

 

[!] An artist’s depiction of a Rah’mun army and their Pharaoh marching into the swamps accompanied by the blessed War Cows of HESTHOR.

 

[!] A notice is distributed across Aevos by Rah’mun couriers with specific emphasis on notifying heroes, adventurers, travelers, worshipers of the Spirits, and other such groups. The missive is marked with a golden seal of the Pharaoh. Upon opening it the following is seen…

 

 

Leh-iy to all denizens of Braevos,

 

For too long the forces of Isfet - known by many names, such as Frost Witches, Infernalists, necromancers, enemies of the Gods by every measure - have marched unimpeded across these Braevosian lands, reigning in terror with very few checks. The light of the False Sun was enough to keep other Isfetians at bay, but that light has been shattered, as all heretic light shall.

 

The only answer to the evil of the present is the Great River of eternity. Rah’tuma has heard directly from Lady HESTHOR, our Goddess of Purity, herself: the Great River that flows from her blessed throne and enters the world to wash away the filth that defies KA’TAU is our solution. She has determined that her River shall enter Braevos through its westernmost swamps.

 

The wisdom of her edict is clear: the swamps were once home to the fallen Isfetian Iket, known to others as ‘Gashadokuro,’ whose memory stains the lands of the West in the ruins of the Hexicanium. The priesthood of HESTHOR conducted several missions to destroy Iket’s shrines and purify the defiled lands around them, and then consecrate those grounds to the Bovine Mother’s glory. 

 

There is reason to believe that many Isfetians still operate within the swamps, with their crimes against KA’TAU persisting in impunity. Impurity in one section of the world inevitably makes the rest of the world sick; this shall not stand.

 

As we purged Iket’s presence from the swamp with the authority of HESTHOR then, we shall do the same now, and expand until every Isfetian is driven from every crack, crevice, and hidden spot in those marshlands. Every inch of the swamps shall become an extension of HESTHOR’s domain, and act as a gateway for the Great River to flow mightily into the world and wash away the Spawn of Isfet. May Kalthet guide us to victory over all enemies.

Pharaoh of Rah’tuma

 

ELAHERN NEKHT TAL

By the Grace of the Gods, Lord-Regent of Rah’tuma, Jaws of Tal

[Digit___ 1224]

The Lord-Regent of Rah’tuma, Elahern, would read over the missive he had helped write before placing his seal on the parchment.

Once the missive had been sent out, the Tal would prepare his gear and assist in preparing the gear of the Machimoi to march upon the western marshlands.

[Trekker Falchion 51]

Ankh-Ha would polish his sword as he looked out towards the swamp "Hesthor, I shall purify these lands and earn my way back into your grace, so please, protect me on this path." He would head towards the temple of Hesthor to offer one last prayer before the purification begins.

[Crunchiest_Leaf 1242]

"Hai, Kiku come along - eto..." he'd turn the missive over a few times looking for a date and time, before checking the OOC section "OH - hai, Kiku be there"

[Tk4522 504]

"Finally, some action." An ancient half goblin stated from her desk in the cold north. A lit blunt in her hand slowly filling the room with smoke.

[BlauRps 545]

The sound of a hammer and chisel could be heard from within the Temple to Rah’tumet as Prince Haitham, who has worked for many Rah’mun Days straight, to restore the shrine to LORD RA. The ‘ame Prince only stopped for a moment as a servant came into the temple to pass him the missive from his Pharaoh, Atemu-Ta, after having finished reading the missive he called the servant to leave and rest before he himself continued his task on restoring what was once shattered by an unknown defiler. “The Radiance of the Eternal Sunlight WILL be returned before we march on the swamp!” He stated to himself as he chiseled the detailed features of the Rah’mun Spirit’s head.

A fiend tilts it's head to the side. Then it looks down to the piece of Kraken Imp Flesh it had. 

 

It considers something. 

 

"Time to get the blood mages."

I invoke Blood Magic [Hail Imp Kraken]

"Hmmmm..." Spoke an ancient entity, one of their rotting servants bringing forth the message

 

"They still live"

 

Ninkthaguz, will be there...

[Diogen 3729]

Naele read the missive, and blinked. She was confused. Waving that piece of paper about to her Witches.

 

“Look, the  intelligence of a descendant. We became a threat- the first thing they do is attack inactives sites of the dead Gashadokuro within the swamp.”

 

She cackled, showing it to Kiel and Jorogumo.

 

”Are they directionally incompetent to reach the north or is beating that dead skeleton’s ruins how they retaliate?”

"Why do the cows have horns?" Juniper asked aloud, as horns are typically reserved for bulls.

"The lost lives in the past, for they fear failure. Gasha still lives in their minds. I can say the Red Lich had done great work to damage their already broken BRAINS! KAKAKAKAHAAOAH!"

 

The Necromantic Tyrant commented and cackled beside the frost witch as she sat upon her throne of bones and flesh, pointing and laughing at the piece of paper. However, in reality, she was quite upset, for she sought conflict. She sought the enemies of men to besiege her for the deeds she had done, she still bore the. In her pride of being undying, she wished for a holy warrior to give an exciting fight.

 

"Nevertheless! I desire a worthy opponent. Where are the HEROES? WHERE ARE THE RELIGIOUS HERMITS? Let's hope the best will come and give us a worthy fight, Naele!"

[Venomous_Pup 2978]

Ithzelith begins to panic when she sees of all the Descendants to march upon the swamp, it was those of Rah'tuma, she despised them greatly due to their past pitiful actions, did she pray to ANYTHING, she would not have to deal with them, but she rushed to Naele, screaming in anger..

"WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN MY SWAMP!!!!"

Ruins of Hexicanium, is Gashadokuro no longer around?
