Re: 23 Darkness 1625: Cattle Raid
You climb your way through the snow to spend some time at the Temple to all the Deities. Every step you take you have to lift your leg high to get above the snow. The wind whips snow at you, making you look like some weird snow creatures. Wherever you happen to expose your skin it burns like fire. When you finally get to the temple you have to spend some time shoveling snow in order to get the door open.
Inside you are greeted by Kareena who serves you some hot soup. She is a little surprised you ventured outside in this weather, but is happy to talk about the cult and its myths. A formal worship ceremony will next be held on the next Holy Day of Orlanth which is in a little more than two weeks, on Windsday in Movement Week.
You sing the Vingan song Hurricane Come!
Sartar’s daughters, bind your breasts,
There is no time to weep or rest;
The Colymar Queen has set us the test
take up your spears and follow!
The Wind is free, the Storm will break;
the god is at the weapontake
Swear the clans will ne’er forsake
Good Vinga’s purest daughter.
Up with spear and out with sword!
On we’ll go for by the Storm,
The battle-thanes have given their word
Raise the clans for Leika!
You note that Kareena has exchanged Kallyr Starbrow, Prince of Sartar, for Leika in the lyrics.
((OOC: Your clan (the Ernaldori) is part of the Colymar tribe ruled by Queen Leika. The Colymar is one of many tribes that form the Kingdom of Sartar. The rebel leader Kallyr Starbrow, a member of House Sartar, has recently returned from her exiled guerilla war and claimed the throne, making her Prince of Sartar. There is a rivalry between Leika and Kallyr.))
