Episode: Paved With Good Intentions
Posted by Story on 01/12/19
Before his untimely death, Prince Ettore Velenosa had been working on a large scale project to attempt to spread the discipleship of Mirrormasks beyond the Lyceum, with attempting to bring the same understanding and appreciation of the 13th to all parts of the Compact. While this stirred a great amount of theological debate, the practical effect was a number of mirrormasks surged as interested Faithful learned more, and many traveled to the Lyceum to study, and some friction with the Oathlands Orthodox. The Oathlands Orthodox of course accept Church dogma that the worship of the 13th is legitimate, while still being uncomfortable with the particulars of making doubt and questioning faith a fundamental practice. Still, everything seemed fine up until recently... when word spreads that at least a dozen mirrormasks were murdered in the Oathlands after leaving Fortezza di Iriscal on the way towards Lyon's Redoubt. News arrives of this almost precisely at the same time as word of Prince Ettore's death in Arx, which strikes many as more than a coincidence since the man once known as Mydas was responsible for the new advocacy of the 13th beyond the Lyceum.
