Day 3: Mobray
Many villagers, the lot really, had gathered in Mobray together with traveling merchants and bards to hear what the Archdeacon had to say. Ferrand Astigi had summoned a number of villagers, those that were able to travel and were not needed for seasonal work, to prepare for travel.
At Noon, when the village square was filled with anticipation, Ferrand made an appearance. His words were louder and clearer then ever before as he started a speech that would change the balance of power.
"Beloved, the Owl had spoken to us and the honorable Bishop in Sarleon has concluded that Rebache is from now on viewed as heretic and evil. Its villagers should pay hefty sums to cleanse their faith in the evil goddess Astraea and its lord shall face penal judgment for murder, corruption, blasphemy and heresy. The true Goddess of Justice declares him outlaw and he must be brought to justice right here on the gallows of Mobray."
Two fully armed and armored halbediers pinned the decree on the notice board and handed out parchments so the words of the Archdeacon would travel the distance to all the villages.
Satisfied, Ferrand turns around and walked back towards his church, but at the last moment he changed his mind and added something to his decree.
"The Church of Eunomia Stabilitis will declare ownership of Kelredan Castle by right of faith, Justice and the balance of the realm. I, Archdeacon Ferrand Astigi, will become its lord-steward. Spread these words and be rewarded handsomely."
