Initiate,

The time of thy judgement approaches. Herein lies seven trials each tied to one of the true virtues of the Avatar. Only upon the completion of these trials may ye don the black cloak of a true Templar. Thy road is difficult, but with true faith and a steely heart ye shall prevail.
Deus Vult!

+Valour: You are to lead all the knight-monks of the Church into a righteous crusade against the pagan Vesperians. All captured prisoners are to be offered baptism and conversion or to be suitably punished for their heathenism.

+Honour: You are to seek out one of the living dead and best them in single combat. We must show that the Avatar doth reign supreme over the Guardian and his minions!

+Humility: You are to don thy monk robe and put yourself at the disposal of the Covian commoners for an entire day. You are to complete their requests as long as by doing so you please Avatar; you are to spend the day bringing them alms and to assist them as far as you can. You shall bear no arms and armour this day.

+Honesty You are to seek out thy family in Trinsic and tell them of thy progress: you are to give the reasons for thy departure to Cove, truly and honestly. You shall no longer hide in deceit from them and their judgement of thee.

+Spirituality: You are to hold an open air mass in Yew, with the aid of the clergy offering baptism to those in need and spiritual counsel to the others. We must ever guard our spiritual bond with our allies.

+Sacrifice: You are to sacrifice the solitude of thy quest towards unlocking the dark secrets of the Undead and work with the Church servant to discover the source of their power and multiplicity.

+Justice: You are to bring a known wytch or heretic to trial and dispense fair justice to them in open court. Let all know that we are agents of Avatar's judgement on Sosaria.

Finishing his report on their expedition to the crypt, Danaeyl goes through the recent church reports and sees the Preceptor's lying on top. Rolling his shoulders loosely, wincing slightly as his wounds chafed against his armour, he began to read slowly.

Valour? The Vesperians had had this coming for a long time. They would be driven before the Light.
Honour? He curled his mouth slightly, lingering on the page, but he had faced the Undead many times now. He had begun to know their ways of combat.
Humility? He had much fondness for most citizens in Cove, he moved swiftly on.
Honesty? He paused and reread the text thrice. What would seeing them again prove? He scowled in spite of himself, but pursed his lips and continued.
Spirituality? He nods in agreement, a most joyous trial.
Sacrifice? He pondered the trial for a moment, but quickly saw the wisdom in this. He would seek out the fallen arcanist.
Justice? He had just the wytch in mind...better than a wytch, a necromancer.


He pens a short reply

Preceptor,

I shalt strive to do right by these holy tasks.

Initiate
