Acta, Non Verba (Mission Notes)

Executor: Aerivandor Rhydane

A Lord Arman of Sydon requested our mercenaries as champions in an Ozturk tradition wherein the suitor and his team needed to prove his worth by completing a series of challenges. The lord in question had been crippled in a joust five years ago and had since became a recluse. So, he and his family needed outside assistance to come up to snuff.

The party did commendably and were able to assist Lord Arman to the martial challenge. It was there that the purpose of the mission was put on its head. Instead of the Lady Abreshmina of Safrani, the young lord had actually been devoted to her handmaiden but, in the way of young lovers, their emotions got the better of them and they were separated.

This Fiadh is a high elf with particular magic. She had been easily controlling the battlefield until faced with her former sweetheart. It was there that Lord Arman and our adventurers convinced her to accept his love. Thankfully, rather than being displeased, the Lady Safrani revealed she had plotted the entire tournament to bring the starstruck pair back together.

While all is well that ends well, I must confess a little skepticism on how well-received the couple will be outside of the Lord’s own lands and family. In some of the research I have uncovered, while accepting of nonhumanoid races, very few families are powerful enough to so openly flout the conventions of Sammu-marat. I can only hope this happy ending will continue past our own notes in the guild records
