The Belligerents #15
Double Agents
08/16/2023
The Belligerents more or less took over the Gravy Trained after successfully feeding the crew, but before they arrived in Cypress, they happened upon a small boat floating outside the city
A figure on the boat came aboard and introduced himself as Executor Javalane of the Dawn Chasers, and when the group produced the writ that marked them as friends of the Dawn Chasers, he enthusiastically greeted them and asked them to do a job for him
He wanted the Belligerents to enter Cypress, find the Daughters of Eve, and report back on their location
The group took half their payment and agreed to do just that, but upon entering the city and being questioned by Commander Renn Krayte, leader of the Tidal Guard, they turned on the Dawn Chasers and told the Commander everything they knew
Krayte asked the group to lend their aid to the defense of the city, but the group was hesitant. The Commander offered to allow the group to meet the Daughters of Eve, the reason for the invasion in the first place.
Upon meeting the girls, and their protector, a Relic Hunter named Harvest, the group was impressed by their knowledge of the arcane arts, and especially the way in which they were working with both necrotic and creation magics simultaneously in runes they were etching, something they shouldn't realistically be possible
Raithe communed with the voice within him and discovered the parentage of the girls was not only Eve Galdarion but also Thrax, the Creation God of Death
The questioning got intense, so the Belligerents were asked to leave, so they made their way back to Javalane to report on the location of the girls, knowingly giving him information they knew would not be accurate as soon as the girls were moved to a secure location
With that, the Belligerents re-entered the city and prepared to defend its people
