 Oswald explains that with this fleet the people of this city can escape. She has promised to raise a fleet the likes of which the world has never seen. The Baron agrees not to speak of this conversion, but he cannot overtly help him. Lady Hapsteng has far too many allies, even inside his own staff. He can provide Oswald with a dozen guard uniforms so that his people can inquire discretely. Oswald explains that with this fleet the people of this city can escape.

-A few short hours later Oswald meets with the representatives of the [[orgs:​Lords of Water]] to discuss plans for finding Lady Hapsteng. [[people:​Ingram]] and Karol, a helper for [[people:Gerro]] both agree. They will go to [[people:​Irlo]] the ropemaker and get the uniforms. In exchange Oswald agrees to let them pick what ships they want of this fleet.+A few short hours later Oswald meets with the representatives of the [[orgs:​Lords of Water]] to discuss plans for finding Lady Hapsteng.

 The father has stacks of paper and books scattered on his bed, rummaging through them. Nigel tries to speak with him, but the Father is clearly agitated. When he presses the issue the Father grabs a satchel and runs out a back door. Nigel shoves away the men that surrounded him and takes off in pursuit. Nigel nearly loses him, but Father Derrick slips on some ice and Nigel knocks him unconscious. He drags the Father to an abandoned building to question him. The father has stacks of paper and books scattered on his bed, rummaging through them.

-Before the Father wakes up he goes through the satchel. A book and several rolls of paper, but he cannot make anything of it. It definitely looks like magic, but it is all gibberish to him. He slaps Father Derrick awake and tries to question him. The Father begins to babble about houses, people, forged documents, things that cannot be seen but must be understood. His words just come pouring out of him, but its nonsensicial. No matter what Nigel does he cannot get the priest to focus on anything. The priest believes that he has damned his soul and there is no salvation for him.+Before the Father wakes up he goes through the satchel.

The Father begins to babble about houses, people, forged documents, things that cannot be seen but must be understood. His words just come pouring out of him, but its nonsensicial ​- but he insists that things have changed. No matter what Nigel does he cannot get the priest to focus on anything. The priest believes that he has damned his soul and there is no salvation for him.
  
 What Nigel does understand is that Father Derrick lost Rachael, someone he loved dearly. A man approached him and said that he could bring his beloved Rachael back. The man was a intermediary for a powerful spirit who approached him and said the scales needed to be balanced. A demon of the earth had taken Rachael and the spirit would not abide to loss of a life to the darkness. To accomplish this Father Derrick bought land in the city for the church. He also used the temple'​s funds to get the things the man needed to aid this spirit. What Nigel does understand is that Father Derrick lost Rachael, someone he loved dearly.

-Father Derrick breaks down sobbing. The man was a [[orgs:​mladovians|mladovian]] and before he died, he saw the man slip into the cell used to hold [[people:​Amer ​Terrente]]. He could not overhear the conversion, but Amer's soul was black as night. He tried to find something among Amer's things, but instead [[people:​Dae]] found something of his there. He panicked and struck her on the head before fleeing with everything. He knows nothing about what happened after that.+Father Derrick breaks down sobbing.

 +Belenus returns to [[atlas:​Bornheim]] and speaks briefly with [[people:​Roza]]. She will be staying with people she knows in [[atlas:​Districts of Bornheim#​Old Town]]. He has only a few days to get one-thousand people to her so that the ritual may begin. Belenus thanks her and goes to speak with Lord [[people:​Koén Brandr]]. 
 + 
 +Lord Brandr got Belenus'​ message and has drawn up a list of one-thousand names. [[people:​Ælfric]],​ his mother [[people:​Anne of Horne]], and others ready to step forward and support the new king. Belenus has a problem with the list. Far too many of the city's wealthiest balanced against too few of the desperate. Lord Brandr says they need support from the nobility to launch a campaign against the throne. The nobility have the connections,​ wealth, and lands to help Ælfric regain his rightful throne. 
 + 
 +Belenus says the choice is his and he will definitely ensure Ælfric and his mother are included, but to many names on this list are men and women who oath is to defend the city. They have reaped the benefits of their station and now is the time for them to prove their worth. The commoners have toiled for them and have the right to collect their due. Lord Brandr is shamed by Belenus'​ statement. He vows to stand to the last and give everything he has is Belenus will consider ensure that the young king-to-be and his mother are on the list. Belenus says they will both be at the top. 
 + 
 +Belenus finds [[people:​Dobry]] at the North Gate speaking to Captain [[people:​Jalo]]. belenus inquires about [[people:​Horenski]] and the [[orgs:​Daughters of Ice and Wind]]. The name was used for many  malevolent spirits in the children'​s stories of his youth, but he does not think she is real. It is said she lived where the river started, it was formed of the tears of those children she kidnapped. He agrees to help Belenus, but needs to speak with Brizanthimus in the morning.
