why, do you want to weep at the damage the LPA did to your income before ranting and demanding revenge?  We only have until mid-Jan and xmas is in the way, plough in, plans are for the faint hearted...

X-Elinie/RiD (Niels):
The Patriarch and the High Theurgist arrive with their retinue at the estate of Baron Khaiarén.

There are several of the men wearing the colors of Arcane Avanalae, and the Patriarch's Bodyguard who, in the past, was appointed by the High Hierophant of LPA, now wear the emblems of ArA and if one were to know them, one would note a few new faces among them.

The schism has reached from high to low, the damage done to Elinie by the reckless actions of the jealous High Hierophant are considerable.

The High Theurgist, being formerly a senior member of LPA, is recognizeable as Marsaf ibn-Daouta. He is a man of middle age and considerable mystical power.

They greet the Baron and confer with him in private, awaiting the arrival of the other factions.

OOC:

If Points East or HA express desire to arrive with the Patriarch, this can be coordinated and I will edit accordingly.

X-LPA/Gaerred Khaiarén (Gray):
The High Hierophant arrives with Marquis al-Rasshad but also senior council of the Life and Protection of Avanlae. These 13 individuals (currently only 12 sheiks and hierophants; the difference is like the difference between a Marquis and Baron) serve as the leadership of the Life and Protection of Avanlae.   Not unsurprising, there is a large retinue for so many dignitaries.  The senior leadership of the Life and Protection of Avanlae is most like a mirror for the nobility of the eastern Anuire, as members from many noble families are represented, from Khaiaren to Haensen and Ghierout to al-Rasshad.  At the head of the council, the High Hierophant runs the day-to-day activities of the temple and forwards the providence of Avanlae. 

With the Council of Chalse having ended, the morale of the Life and Protection of Avanlae appears very high.  In fact, amongst the clergy, both in the senior and mid-ranks, there is a palpable sense of unified purpose and no grumblings, even remotely, of any religious schism.  Moreover, it is said that the Life and Protection of Avanlae has not had a High Hierophant as strong in faith and might since the Age of Heroes.  It appears that in the High Hierophant, the LPA is inspired.

As the LPA arrives, its plays begin filtering into the noble houses, for some it has been years and many have looked forward to reunions with family. 

Even in near chaos, there are reasons for joy.

X-Haelyn's Aegis/RK (Andy):
The High Marshal rides in at the head of an Aegis military patrol looking thunderous.  For all that he is come home to his brother's house he does not relax for a moment, the steady stream of messengers bearing news of goblins, vampire sightings, raiders, heresy in the south and suchlike make clear that he considers the current discord to be gross luxury that should have been discarded long ago in favour of far more important duties.

Robhan's mood towards the vainglorious toadies and amitious underlings about is near murderous, comments crafted by such vapid folk to indicate their side's righteousness are answered with tales of burnt fields, empty homes, and the Shadow moving freely in the discord where duty to work to the common good has been discarded in favour of pride.

The High Marshal clearly feels that the decision to bring Elinie to the brink of civil war has been taken far, far too lightly by some of those present and that resolving the dispute should be the highest priority of all.
