Lady Arianne

How it begins.


After a recent raid against the orc hordes in the north of Vesper,Kain Twothumb the governor of Windenbourg,finds an old ruin in the woods nearby.

Amongst the ruins hecomes across a book.

Being unable to read the text, but beleiving it to be aged,he takes it to his old friend Lady Tabbitha of the Knight Hospitallers.

Working late into the night,studying and translating the texts Tabbitha sent for her good friend,Lady Arianne.

Handing over the book Tabbitha tells her she is

“disbanding her Knights Order as she can no longer justify the Alliance with Vesper and she will withdraw from the world and go into solitude as a nun because of what she read in the book.”

Her old friend is puzzled by the behaviour of Tabbithas words and actions and sits down to read the translation for herself.


After reading it she walks around in her chamber for some time deliberating before she reaches a conclusion.

She returns to speak with Tabbitha ,telling her that while she understands her decision she has also reached one and asks to be allowed to use the old Knight Hospitallers land and properties as her own.

Tabbitha grants this wish and walks out the door never to be seen again.

Arianne wastes little time and sets her mind working to create a new order Knights of The Prophecy [K^P] that will do battle to hopefully prevent that which is prophecied to happen in the near future.

Lady Arianne

Akkran asked the creator of all and everything,

"But what can we do to prevent all of this evil to take place Great Lord?"

And the creator answered him back by saying

"Nothing!"

"All you can do is survive these things,but only the ones who know the truth and belive in it will be allowed to live past this end of time."

Upon hearing this Akkran was filled with the knowledge of what must be done to save mankind and he wrote all of this knowledge down in a series of books.

But the messengers of the blackness did not sit idly by, and let the creator of all spoil their plans.

After hearing of the books they set out to find Akkran and destroy them.

And find Akkran they did but the books he had written were already scattered across the Universe by the creator,in an effort to spread the word to mankind so they might be saved.

A small grey dove settles on the front path of Valetta.

Looking at the apple tree,it hops up the stone steps to the front door.
After waiting a while,it dropped an elegantly scribed scroll, rolled and tied,with an alaborate seal.

Flying up into the tree,the dove settled down to await and ensure,the rightful person picked up the message contained within



Realizing it’s harder to be left than it is to leave …

I give thanks to the Virtues for my continued life here on earth and I
look forward to seeing youall in the not to far off future.

A dark and gruesome shadow has come to overtake us while we sleep in the afternoon sun.

Behold, the enemy has arrived at the Gates of Hell,which we have created for ourselves!
And,it will be said in times to come,that in these days,the people mourned for not speaking or acting before it was too late.

The only hope for humanity is to turn its face away from war profiteering.

We have been warned from The Ancient Prophecy of these times we live in today,
but have also been given a very important message for a solution to turn these terrible times around.

All must turn from their evil ways,and forsake the destructive nature,so many adopt in these days.

To understand the depth of this message you must recognize the importance of Sacred Sites around our lands,and
realize the interconnectedness of what is happening today, in reflection of the continued massacres that are occurring on other lands and our own Sosaria.

I had been learning about these important issues since the age of 12, upon receiving The Books of Prophecy
and their teachings,by my fathers scholar,Akkran.Our people have striven to protect the Sacred Sites from the beginning
of Akkran's writings, but places have been violated for centuries and have now brought us to the predicament
that we find ourselves in at the present time.


Our Mother Earth is very ill from these violations, and we are on the brink of destroying the possibility of a healthy and nurturing survival for generations to come, our children's children.

It is time,to spread the word to all, of the error of their ways.

I wish you all safe travels as you carry out this work.



To my dear Laurana,who is like a daughter to me,and kimi, who has kept me from harms way,endlessly.

I cannot waste any more time in Sosaria,presently as each day brings more anguish,self importance,and lack of Virtue.

Morals that nurture society and our future,are barely existant,and I have exhausted my avenues of trying to change people.

It was my intention to become a woman of the cloth,but during my travels,I have been inspired anew to
seek change amongst people.

I have returned home,for a while,to refresh my mind,and further my knowledge of how to help our forsaken world.

It was my intention to ask you both to travel with me and aide me in this work.

Maybe fate played her hand,in keeping you both behind,to carry on the work,there ,till my return.

I hope you will be both join Lady Arianne,as she will need all the help she can muster,to carry on in my abscence.

The priority of our Order has to be set aside,for now,whilst more pressing matters become urgent.

Lady Arianne has agreed to maintain all our buildings as needed,and I know you will both look out for our
members if and when they return from their travels.

Once I am confident,I can affect a change that will help us all,I shall return,and take my place amongst you again.

Till then, please stay safe,and remember,we can be scattered across realms,but our hearts remain as one.

I would ask,only, that any past matters of concern with Mr Heath,are put aside.

Elliot has a knowledge of Sosaria and many other lands,that is invaluable to our work.

he has also been a faithful companion to me,and saved me many a time,from a death, as did his family before him.

It is vital, you work as closely as possible together,and alongside Lady Arianne,if the Hospitallers,are to survive this fractured time.

In doing this,there is the chance,we can all be together again one day,and know we did what we had to do,to save our world from total destruction, and make it a better place for those who come after us.

I remain respectfully your humble servant, Grandmistress and friend
