The 14,000 men women and children cross into the Mander just East of Ashford Septons stop at every village along the way to begin preaching to the small folk about the injustices the Faith has suffered under Rodrick's rule.

Septon Tomas Benedict kneels in a field and begins to pray, a small cadre of Septons join him. "Wise Crone as we take this next step in our journey we pray that you will light our way as we hope to light the way for the Faith to return to this Kingdom. Bestow your wisdom on those that seek justice and love the seven against their enemies," the septon made the sign of a seven pointed star on his chest and then rose.

The army consists mostly of commonborn men, women, and children, but a small cadre of knights called the Warrior's Sons travels with them as well. The peasants cheer whenever a group of them ride by.

A small carde of 75 Mander Knights stand on the road in front of the army of the faith. "I am Ser Rochester Flowers son of the Lord Chester Dunn what is your business in the Mander." Calls the large knight at the front of the men.

Many of the men and women ignore the knights as they walk down the road, singing their hymns and songs, and they simply walk around the knights to get past them. One burly fellow calls out, "Just passing through, Ser, no worries," and several men around him start laughing, though none of them stop walking.

The knights allow the smallfolk to pass but look for the leaders.

Knight Commander Ternius Fell rides towards the Mander knight. The Knight Commander is a gaunt, severe-looking man. His mail is polished to a blinding sheen and the seven pointed star is displayed prominently on his shield.
"We go to King's Landing to strike down the corrupt, the unjust, and the heathens. Any man who fears the Gods should take up the swords and support our cause."

A group of septon's walking near the middle of the group continues up to where the Ternius is standing, a taller one with homespun cloth for a robe walks up.
"What seems to be the problem Ternius," the Septon says looking towards the Mander Knights. A white haired man with a black eye patch rides close to the Septon and observes the encounter.

"Thank you brother," Septon Bendict said as his lightly armed pilgrims continued marching towards their final destination.
"May the Warrior strengthen you and the Crone light your way."
