A Solar in the Great Sept of Baelor

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

A moderate sized Solar behind the Father and Mother Altars houses the residence and office of Septon Tomas Benedict, a member of the most devout and close advisor to the High Septon.

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

A brown brother exits the solar, his face a ghastly white and a look of grave concern on his face. His brown robes slightly soiled with a rich dark red stain that covers his boots and the lower portion of his robes. His eyes are puffy and black as if he had been crying all night though his eyes have gone dry now at least for the moment.

[Lord Howland Royce]

Lord Brandon Royce arrives for the Holy Investigation, he looks at the septon with some concern. "Are you allright, septon?"

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

The brown brother pauses on his way out as Brandon speaks, "It was a long ride and the horrors I saw with may own eyes. . . Mother have mercy," he says making the sign of the Seven Pointed Star on his chest before continuing out into the great hall of the Sept.

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

////// Igor Conklyn returns to the Great Sept and passes by Brandon on his way into Septon Tomas's office. He sits down in a large velvet red chair in front of a gigantic desk.

"Not much of a turn out eh?" Igor says to Septon Tomas.

"Its early still, although I hope the Faith can count on more faithful to arrive or we will truly be on dark times," the Septon sticks his head out of the office and sees Brandon.


"Lord Royce, do come in, I was hoping I would see you here."

[Erik]

Tyberion also makes his way toward Septon Tomas' office.

[Sam]

Lord Samuel Tarly arrives at the Great Sept, and is led to the solar where the Septon Tomas of the Most Devout have called the faithful of the temporal lords to convene. Heartsbane hangs in its sheathe on his back, and he is dressed elegantly in green and black.

[Lord Howland Royce]

Brandon nodded, "It is the best interest of all to see the men, no monsters, put down". He made his way in.

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

Inside the room a very tired looking Septon Tomas is thumbing through a set of papers he looks up as Lord Tarly and Lannister enter to join Lord Royce, "Lords thank you for coming," he said before continuing.

"By now I am sure you have heard the news," Tomas surveyed their faces to make sure before starting again, "although I assure you the situation is worse then even I thought."

"The attacks were well organized with early signs pointing towards a coordinated attack among the followers of the Old Gods in the North. The targets appeared to be completely random although all attacks share common characteristics: ritualistic killings, defamation of the Septs with runes of the first men, the ransacking of the Septs library and the destruction and burning of the Faiths works and papers."

Tomas stands, "I have asked Igor to investigate the defamation of the Sept at Rosby, as I have received information that leads me to believe that its choice was not selected entirely at Random. Igor is a good and devout man but he will need help if he is to discover the true purpose of these attacks. While I do not expect your Lordships to be tramping around the countryside. . .if you have some able men that could assist it would be a true blessing for our Faith."

[Lord Howland Royce]

"I have not heard of such a fanaticism among the followers of the Old Gods before," Brandon muttered. "It could be a ruse to throw the attention another way?"

[Flex]

Lord Darien Greenstone arrives, proclaiming his utmost wishes to help with the investigation.

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

Septon Tomas nodded, "Yes well, the Faith has been more aggressive in preaching and administering to the followers of the Seven in the Northern Lands and impressing converts. There were a few small conflicts among our emmissaries there but there was no reason to suspect such violent retribution against our Faith, especially in our heartland."

Tomas smiles as Lord Greenstone enters and then frowns again as he continues his conversation. "That is partly why the High Septon has asked for this commission, there are already a few members of the Most Devout calling for retaliation, if there is more to this plot then there seems we must uncover it quickly before the situation is exacerbated by rash action."

[Ser Kenneth Coyn]

After a long pause in the conversation, Igor moves to speak, "I will take a small group of men to investigate Rosby and see what we can learn from the Sept there. Anyone you want to send with me needs to be in the Courtyard by tomorrow morning or they are getting left behind," Igor fiddles with his eye patch before bowing his head to the Septon and then the Lords, "The Mother Protect you."

[Lord Howland Royce]

Brandon nodded, thinking about joining the investigation himself.
