Dear Astor, dear friend,
I write to
you cause I’m confused right now. Some recents events that occured in the
Illyriad world and to see them together seems strange to me.
The last
one is the Order of Allembine, this Order whom dedicate itself ro record
histories and chronicles of our world since the year one that they have
created, this society finally think that it’s about time, after 800 years to clarify
several distant details in the family tree of our King.
Isn’t that
strange that they haven’t done that before? I mean kings are crowned by
the order’s Abbots. Ain’t
they recording such important events organized by themself? So why now?
I’ve though
about it and considering the fact that since some month the reputation of the
Crown is falling deeper and deeper it could be a way for him to stabylise it.
But there
are more.
What are
the last actions of our King?
He initiate
a series of tournaments.
The first
one was about take and hold some “strategic” positions. And all the alliances
of the kingdom sent an enormous amont of men to death. For what? Is there any
reward? Yes indeed: Glory and some military units from the elite of our King’s
army.
The second
tournament was about slaugter hordes of animals all around the world. Again,
thousands of men from all alliances won’t come back from this... Game? But
Tinuviel’s voice had already said it better than me.
Again, Our
dear king reward us with men taken from his elite.
And now?
Now we’re
all helping the Order of Allembine to discover something they should already
know. And we all do this. And we’re all happy to help cause it’s what we are:
helpfull people. And we’re all happy to see the Order of Allembine thankfull to
us, sending their scribe in every city of Illyriad to help us.
But what
are those scribes again?
An highly
trained specialist whom can help me to counter ennemy spies.
Remember the
first rule of the Order: Obedience. Obedience to the abbots, obedience to the
rule, obedience to god and so to the King. I quote the Preface to the Rules
Of The Order of Allembine, anon: “Our continued service, in obedience,
charity and faithfulness, shall pave the way for the kings of Illyria, for the
good of all humans and of all races.”
You can see
it now my friend.
All the
things done by our King is just about filling our rank with Highly trained
military and highly trained spies. I wonder where goes the loyalty of those
men...
So please
Astor, could you keep an eyes on them and report me if it’s safe to keep them
in our wall or if we’d better tell them to go back home?
Regards,
Capricorne
d’Alpage.
