Game Thread; Chivalry's Last Breath

Grand Knight Dorian; "How dare you usurp the king that way?!! Unless you know he is about to pass away, he had plenty of time to name an heir! You demanded an heir be named only places this Kingdom in danger!!"

Cardinal Ledeun: "I know, but it is the law."

Grand Knight Dorian "No!! The law didn't direct you to make such a demand at this moment!"

Cardinal Ledeun; "The time no longer matters, the Queen is no longer of birthing age and their children are forbidden by law and tradition from taking the crwn"

Grand Knight Dorian "So, you will support the Duke and placing one of those two incompetent pompous toddlers on the crown?!!"

Cardinal Ledeun; "The law and tradition support the Duke's claim."

Sir Stetton stepped forward to cut off the conversation "Maybe not, if my herald is correct, even the Duke's claim on the throne is invalid."

Cardinal Ledeun: "I know where you are going with that statement, and I refuse to pursue that path. This land needs civility and the support of the nobility, not some animal frothing at the mouth while mead foam pushes week old bread crumbs through their beard whiskers."

Sir Stetton "Still if you and the priests of St. Cuthbert want to throw around the formality of law and tradition, then we have to discover whether King Edward actually did have other siblings that would have a claim on the throne.

Cardinal Ledeun "It won't matter, You can't find any traces of who the father of King Roland was, the churches in concert ensured that the bloodline was erased from memory and all that exist are King Edward and his eight daughters and Duke Chefon with his two sons. "

Sir Stetton burst out in anger "How dare you!! The churches have no authority to alter or remove information found in records of the King's libraries, his historical discoveries, or any other official document."

Cardinal Ledeun shouts back "BLASPHEMY!! The Church has ever right to provide oversight on government ledgers and to remove any information that harms or threatens the laws and traditions of this land. We are honorable people and we can't allow ignoble concepts or ideals to corrupt or bankrupt the morality of this land or its people!"

Grand Knight Dorian; "We still have sixty days according to law to rectify the damages caused by the Churches. We are going to dig into every cesspool and pig stye to stop this travesty.

Cardinal Ledeun; "If you try, your life is forfeit, nobody is going to defy the Churches just to place a woman or an animal onto the throne. The church will not allow disobedience of its mandate and we will not allow anyone to deviate from the current fate which is at hand!!"

Sir Stetton: "So, you would threaten anyone who would stand up for truth and honor?!"

Cardinal Ledeun: We will protect this Kingdom from the threat that you are threatening us with. As for the extent we are willing to proceed, there is no limit."

Cardinal Mossen: "Well gentlemen, at this point whether we address the sins of the churches, for their role in deceiving the people, the challenge has been launched, the churches of Heironeous, St. Cuthbert, and Hextor back Duke Chefon's claim and his motion to crown one of his sons to the throne. As a just and virtuous faith, we will allow the King his sixty days and nights to find an acceptable heir that meets the tenets of the law."

Master Braynard is going through record mumbling "Why would anyone wish to alter records from 90 years ago? Why is an act of deceit then suddenly an important event today?"

Half Orc: "The employer wished to hide information that threatens their power now. They only hired the guild to steal government documents, history based books, and heraldric records. There must be some significance in how those three topics relate to each other."

Master Braynard: "And you say, the guild altered all of the records?", he shuts the ledger in his hands "And who was the client?"

Half Orc: "I do not know the identity of the client, but whoever it is, they have immense power, to such extent that the senior leaders within the guild aren't talking. There is one document, I believe may have the information needed. That is, assuming the client is attempting to erase a bloodline."

Master Braynard looked at Lian, listened to the young mage's statement "Indeed records are important, but our records were stolen, rewritten, and returned as corrupted files.", Lian's mentor pointed to the Half Orc "This is Ukrava Many Pockets, if her information is true; it is quite disturbing. She claims that a group has altered the entire Kingdom's records in order to conceal something important."

Ukrava, still leaning in the chair "There is one record that is undisturbed, it goes back three generations before King Edward, but the journey to recover that record is dangerous."

Cardinals Ledeun and Mossen storm out of the room, so absorbed with the argument, neither acknowledged Kerri's presence. Cardinal Ledeun seething with emotion scoffed "The church is the final law, we do not answer to mortals nor do we need to seek permission! Yes we destroyed facts in the records, no mortal needs to know anything else." The senior Cardinal exited the doorway, Cardinal Mossen, usually the more composed leader shut the door with more etiquette. The two knights followed behind more leisurely, though they strained to hide the expression of their anger.

Sir Stetton noticed Kerri and bowed "M'Lady, I beg your forgiveness. We have business, since it involves leaders within your church I beg that you take it to your God in prayer, seek the answers. Our King Edward has been challenged, the usurper is his brother Duke Chefon and the Churches of Heironeous, Pelor, and St. Cuthbert each conspired to aid in this challenge. We attempted to retrieve records of King Edwards lineage, but according to reliable sources, the churches stole the records erased all details of the lineage of the King and Duke. The Cardinals admitted to this deed. We need to know whether Duke Chefon is indeed the only eligible heir to the crown and what support King Edward has compared to Duke Chefon. We ask that you and Lord Silos go to the wizard's school and see if they have any information on King Edward' ancestry." The knight sits at a small end table "Do you have any questions of us?"
