 Lady Audrey's Home
This incredibly, unnecessarily lavish household belongs to none other than Lady Audrey herself - protected by the Brotherhood. It is here foreign government officials and other individuals will find help with their bigger problems.
Lady Audrey is the official government leader of the Teutonic State, sharing power with only the Hochmeister, Konrad IV - who is more concerned with military matters rather than political ones.

A pelican of all birds came swooping through the sky before landing on a windowseal to Lady Audrey's office. When the pelican landed it spit out a glass bottle with a letter in it.
"How are my brothers doing in their new land? It has been so long since we have sat at a table and dined together. As you may or may not have been informed, I am now the Governor of Atlanticus. I woyld write more, but between the church, state, and rapid growth of the cities, my time is devoted to the people who make our will possible.
The State of Atlanticus would like to invite the Brothers of the Sword to join us for a series of festivities and diplomacy.
Sincerely,
Governor/Komtur Giplor Vauc'Tutt
P.S. Place response in bottle and back in Pelicans mouth for return.

Lady Audrey eagerly read the letter. She was no stranger to diplomacy or formalities. "Well," she began, sitting at a desk within her new office. She folded the piece of paper up and placed it in a nearby tray. "Hopefully it is the first of many letters." It was necessary to the Brothers to ensure other nations would recognize them as a sovereign state. "Are you off, m'lady," asked one of her guards, a Knight-Brother of the Order. "Yes," Audrey said to him, getting out of her chair and smiling. "Call my carriage and order a full guard. We're heading for Atlanticus! One of our Brothers wishes to meet us." Exit to the Northern Border Guardhouse |

Physical Description: Tall, strong, and stern, the Hochmeister embodies all that a knight should be physically capable of. He has a clean-cut, stern face, with wide dark blue eyes, a sharp jaw, and short dark hair. He's taller than most individuals throughout Vessex, and rivals the Asgeirian Varan in terms of strength and posture. He's certainly an intimidating man.

Grandma would arrive in the Duchy of Audria with Adrian. There, they traveled to the town of Salem, and then to the estate where Lady Audrey lived. It was also the residence of the former Hochmeister of the Brotherhood: Konrad IV von Marschburg. Slowing down to a trot, Adrian led Grandma around the circular pathways that circled the gardens in front of Audrey's home. Two armed guards came to Adrian's aid and took the reins of both horses. "Adrian!" they exclaimed excitedly. "We heard what happened in the Free Plains! We are relieved to see you are safe!" Adrian smiled and nodded at them, "it is good to be back in Audria, my Brothers!" He dismounted and waited for Grandma. "Come, we must speak to-" "Me?" A deep, commanding voice boomed from up the steps. The imposing figure of Konrad stood at the top. His cold, hard, stern face glared down at Adrian and Grandma, arms folded behind his back. "Adrian. You have returned. Maybe not the best time... but I am happy nonetheless." "Something wrong, sir?" Adrian inquired. "It could induce... diplomatic nightmares with the Israns." The man shook his head and walked down to greet both Adrian and Grandma. "But it shouldn't matter. The Israns still supply us with much-needed materials, as per our deal with Ildesias. I suppose we're on good terms with them." He then turned his attention to Grandma. "The Brothers owe you a debt, Grandma. I have received reports from Brother Volquin when you assisted him in Solisia. I wish to reward you. Is there anything I can do?" Konrad was ready and able to give Grandma whatever she needed.

Grandma would follow Adrian inside the estate, making note of the layout of the town as she entered it. It seemed Adrian was looking for assistance from someone, perhaps this Duke Konrad was an old friend of his?
Offering a nod to Konrad as he greeted them from the steps, Grandma had to wonder what troubled the man. He had mentioned diplomatic problems with Isra, but for the moment, that matter didn’t concern Grandma. She was focused on investigating what happened in Crim.
“I am quite happy to assist the Brothers when I can Duke Konrad. The only rewards I wish for are being able to personally purge the various evil creatures that trouble the Brotherhood, ensuring they never again return, even in spirit. The purging of such creatures strengthens my spirit.”
Whether Grandma meant the last statement literally or as figuratively wasn’t quite clear.

Konrad grinned and nodded his head approvingly at Grandma. "As the Order's numbers have always been small, we have always required mercenaries to bolster our ranks. While you're not just some mercenary, you are one of my preferred associates. Even though we have never met personally." Konrad knew a great deal about Grandma, from reports. "Now, come in, come in. Lady Audrey is busy and so she will not be around to complain about mud and dirt," he joked, ascending the steps and leading Grandma and Adrian inside. The entrance was a large room covered in blue carpet, with two rug-covered staircases on either side leading up to another room on the fer end of the building. It was very elegant, very professional in the area; clearly fit for a woman of royalty. Paintings, plaques, and mannequins decorated the light yellow walls, as a blue trimming arched up into the high ceiling. Natural light from the windows gave the room a very lively feel. A set of cushioned chairs and couches were set along the stairs, with some tables, lamps, and small book cases. Konrad offered Adrian and Grandma a seat. "Now tell me what is of dire importance, Brother Adrian. What happened in Isra?" Adrian sighed, wore out from the journey. "After I left the Brotherhood... me and a few Brother Knights went back to Crim to see what power we could find." Konrad shook his head shamefully. "I told you to stay away from that place, Adrian." Shaking his head, he continued. "Yes, yes... but the people of Isra needed more protection. I wanted to give that to them. When we entered the keep we became indoctrinated. A presence which we call the Voice took over our minds, and there was nothing we could do. It wasn't until Brother Hansel came to rescue me that the indoctrination was broke. But while I was under the spell of the Voice, she gave me visions. I saw... I saw the Scripture! I know where it is... or I did. I also saw other things... bad things." Adrian shook his head in semi-terror. He was clearly disturbed. Konrad was clearly interested in the location of the Scripture. "A report mentioned you were unable to comprehend the visions." Adrian nodded. "What about Grandma? Have you showed them to her?" "Grandma!" Adrian exclaimed. "Yes! Yes, yes, of course. Let me show them to you," he finished. Assuming Grandma would allow him, and assuming she was able, he would do as she required and transmit the visions into her mind, and they both enter a terrible and convulsive trance.
Darkness.... the silhouette of a woman's figure moves as a light appears... flashes of red.... a flash of white...Everything reverts to darkness. And then the face of an old hag, whose eyes have been cut from her head appears. She wears a tattered black hood, is missing her teeth, and has her eyelids sewed shut. She opens her voice and a foreboding message comes from it. "And I beheld She, who visits a throne which is not hers. She is shamed and returns to her own throne, but it is no longer her own. And then I beheld He, the rider of an albino beast with the wings of an eagle! He, who was Her savior and who carried Her into the skies, must make the choice... but only if She gives in...."More visions appear. Alden, Emahra, and Lamina walk through a dark tunnel, carrying with them an orb of great power. The voice of the Voice emanates from it.
Adrian reawakens from the trance, shaking and out of breath, sweating. "I... I have never seen that before," he exclaims, his voice one of surprise. "I... I don't know what it means." He buried his face into his eyes. "I am sorry Grandma. I wish it could have been more clearer... but this clearly a warning. For who, I do not know. But the orb... that is the source. The Voice was forcing us to excavate underneath Crim to find that orb. It's a portal of some kind, to another dimension. It must be activated, and the Knights of Crim can be rescued." |

Grandma was indeed quite capable of viewing his visions, clasping him by the shoulders as she peers into his mind. What she witnessed was quite odd, as visions typically tend to be. She didn’t have any good ideas on what it could mean, but as Adrian said, it did imply danger for the Sun Marshal’s who were at Crim.
“Those people there, they are the Sun Marshal’s Naoki sent to investigate. Do you believe they are in great danger immediately from that orb? If so, perhaps I should travel there to assist them, but they are quite capable people. Most things they should be able to deal with on their own. What do you believe Adrian, will they need our assistance immediately?”
Considering what she saw in the vision, Grandma wonders what it could mean.
“Is the Voice the She who is mentioned in the vision? I am unfamiliar with the Brother's beliefs, so the symbolism that is possibly in that vision eludes me. I’m afraid I must rely on you to assist uncovering any specifics it reveals. You also said it is a portal. Would it be safe to activate it as a portal or would activating it cause a catastrophe on the scale of what happened at Crim before?”

"No," Adrian shook his head. "The Voice and 'She' are two separate entities." Adrian had to lay back, close his eyes, and rub his forehead from the pain he induced in the action. "The orb... Alden must have it. It can be turned into a portal... and I would wager the Knights of Crim are on the other side. Alden also has the scrolls necessary to open the portal."
As Adrian began piecing it together more and more, he started to understand. "Right... right... the Voice indoctrinated us to excavate under Crim... and there we would find her orb, which would open a portal, and she could then invade the Overworld..."
Konrad sighed, leaned in, and asked: "What about the Scripture?"
"Maybe... maybe she had to give me what I wanted to, or else I would realize I was indoctrinated. Yes, that's right! If she didn't give me anything I could use, I would not give her what she wanted. We exchanged labor for information, and the information she was giving me was leading me to the True Scripture."
Konrad looked at Grandma. "You should get back to the Free City, Grandma. Make sure Naoki is safe. And you will be needed if Alden is to open this portal."
Adrian nodded in agreement. "Of course, it might would be better to open the portal here, in Audria, rather than Isra. I will leave that decision up to you, Grandma."

If the purpose of the portal was to allow whoever was on the other side to invade the overworld, perhaps it would be best to leave closed… At the very least, if it was decided it would be opened, Grandma would suggest doing so in another dimension to prevent the worst case scenario from occurring. At the mention of her returning to Isra, Grandma nods. “I will speak to Naoki on the subject, I think the threat to your life from this has mostly passed. It seems they remain sealed away from the look of it.” Moving to the other end of the room, Grandma begins communicating with Naoki through the telepathic network, a rather serious look on her face as they exchange information. Overall, Grandma seems fairly happy with the news she receives, heading back over to Adrian and Konrad. “It seems the Sun Marshal’s have acquired the orb and are attempting to extract it currently. They have suppressed it’s abilities, so we shouldn’t have to worry about it activating for the moment. I will be returning to Isra now, but I will have to ask that you come with me, it seems the High Lady wishes to speak to you again.” As she finishes speaking, the air behind Grandma warps wildly, a portal to the Citadel opening. |

Adrian lazily stands back up, obviously heavily fatigued and tired from his ordeal. "Very well." Before he leaves, however, Konrad slips him a necklace: a Black Cross hung around it.
"Welcome back to the Order, Brother." Konrad shakes Adrian's hand, but the necklace is apparently more than just a piece of jewelry; it has special magic imbued in it. Adrian steps through the portal with Grandma.
<Exit to the Citadel.
