    The word, "Proceed," uttered as knock sounded. The door opened with simple gesture from the mage, the door yawning open silently. The desk at the end of the room was occupied by the Pursuant who wore robe of white and ornaments of withered bark and vine. His lilac eyes blinkless, instinct to...

    The scent of frankincense layered over everything in steady ebbs from the thurible that roiled it's cargo outwards from the center of the chamber in wisps of the rich scent. Consecration of the room was a point of safety, no divine will did flow to guard against the Dark, yet the will of the...
