Greetings unto thee, Empress Jesslyn of Lopan,
I met you briefly for any length of time only twice. The first time was when you accepted Master Asher as a vassal of yours. The second was when your imperial majesty presented me twice with Osiris’ Lung in the same day. Your subjects I feel know me better as the Golden One rather than Osiris’ Unyielding Strength. I am writing you today to inform you that Dio Regellant was not actually turned to the Dark as many reports of the investigations have indicated. He was seduced by some mystical warlord of the north going by the name, Terosh. I can’t prove my suspicions that he might be a necromancer seeking the pieces of Osiris to make himself into a godling of some form or fashion. The traitor knight attacked me again today and I was forced to kill him.
While my home is in the Timiro Kingdom know that before the traitor passed from this world I made sure to tell him that I was killing him for betraying the Empress of my late friend.
In service,
Xerx’ses Goldenhorn,
Immortal War Wizard of CrIsis,
aka: Captain Osric Orghallar of Rogtilda

Beautiful picture of a woman whose troops are currently attacking the town you are underneath.
Such is life, love, politics, and war.
Is that seriously your art??? That’s an amazing picture!
I have Poser and Daz3d rendering programs. I have dabbled in 3D art, but truth be told this is me following a turtorial using the Victoria body model (each asset you pay for) and other purchased assets for hair, earrings, etc.. It was cheaper to make 2D art. Likely won’t be much more 3D stuff going forward.
Was Dio seduced to the Dark? Was he really acting without his queen’s consent? If he was with the Dark wouldn’t he have been on the Agreement?
I am sorry, my log has failed you here are your questions and answer from the log.
Q: Was Dio seduced to the Dark?
A: I am writing you today to inform you that Dio Regellant was not actually turned to the Dark as many reports of the investigations have indicated. He was seduced by some mystical warlord of the north going by the name, Terosh.
Q: Was he really acting without his queen’s consent?
A: Yes
Q: If he was with the Dark wouldn’t he have been on the Agreement?
A: Yes it would have been but as we learned he was never for the Dark. He was for Terosh whom is trying to become some kind of god like being through the acquisition of parts of Osiris. Xerx’ses thinks he is a Necromancer, but has no proof yet to back that claim.
I hope this helps clear things up :-)
Your log did not fail me, it was my ability to comprehend what I read which had failed me. I appreciate your patience with my redundant questions – ultimately it seems only my second question need have been asked.
That image of the Emperess (and absolutely no other character information) has given me some impressions of her and how she might have received the missive.
First would be the impertinence that someone was so bold as to send a magic pigeon directly to her and not a royal aid, as is her custom. Possibly the pigeon arrived during the day, while she was attending to any one of her many royal duties.
Second would be mild surprise at the words contained within. But before acting upon them she would send people to investigate these bold claims and verify their truth.
Third would be later, when she was finally alone, and she would allow herself a few brief moments to feel sad at the passing of her knight.
I have no idea if that matches with her at all, but it’s the scenes that play out in my head.
