In about 2 weeks one of the Adaptus Astartes Recruits would report to the War Captain with some newly uncovered information that is quite disturbing.
According to his investigations on the night of Honorable Magatulok’s murder the only Godly beings unaccounted for is Dace.
After further investigation a Rathessians passing through the area of the Water Manse reported seeing Dace at the bathing house the night of the murder washing blood off him.
Several other Rathessians confirm seeing Dace returning to the Pyramid of the Sun from the Direction of the Water Manse.
It is well known that Dace gotten into a verbal confrontation with Megatulok that almost came to blows just a week ago. It was only the timely arrival of Hastha-sath that averted physical blows.
Though these are all circumstantial evidences the recruit thought it was sufficient to launch a secret investigation centered on Dace.
He already seeked permission from Head Huntress Dharacya to search Dace’s room in secret for clues, but was refused.
He is informing the War Captain of these newly discovered facts in case the War Captain wishes to take a different course of action.
He is also worried about the influence Dace has over the Adaptus Astartes as their new trainer – should he be evil the Adaptus Astartes could be tainted by his magical training.
[Obviously this one belongs to the Sun Lords Faction]
What he did not tell the War Captain is that the War Captain is the 4th person he brought this up with.
The first is Novus Captain Lumusi who refused on the grounds that these Sun Lords are the honorable guests of the Dragon Kings and has conducted themselves with propriety. Speculation along is not sufficient to take action against such eminent beings.
He then brought it up with Novus Captain Eddin Roradin, who also refused based on the grounds that it is beyond the authority and mandate. He referred the recruit to Dharacya.
Dharacya is then the third person and her refusal is the same reasoning as Lumusi. She also warned sternly the Recruit that pride is the first step to apostasy.
Balan is then the last power the recruit is appealing to. Since Balan is the highest authority in Rathess he didn’t want to take up the War Captain’s valuable time. But the obstinacy of lesser beings has left him no choice but to appeal to the War God of Rathess himself.
