Heartless No More

Back Story: Silonch was a member of the Black Conclave, who was desperately, terribly, unrequitedly in love with Vecna the Arch Mage. However, Tylorn of the Black Conclave desired the lovely Witch, and strove to steal her love... and her heart, which had been magically taken from her and placed into a letter, gifted to Vecna. Alas, the heart was lost, but not to Tylorn, but to the whims of Chance when the bag it was within was destroyed. At the request of her people, Cordir searched the Pattern to learn if the heart was truly destroyed... Much was learned, and she called together the efforts of Chosen and Tigers, to help the one who was dear to them both.

Board Note #10: A Quest In Progress
To: The Chosen of Fate
From: Cordir An-Shalach, Weaver Incarna, Mistress of Fate

Some of you may have been present when I set a quest upon the Chosen. Others may have been asked to provide aid, later in the quest. Three tasks were laid, with no explanation or reason. Two have been accomplished, with no questions.
One task remains.

At this time, I wished to give a bit of background as to WHY I set my folk to these tasks... Several years ago, a young woman, through dangerous magics, set her heart into a letter. She then gave the letter to a powerful mage, whom she cared for deeply. This act caught the attention of one of the most powerful sorcerers in the Realm - Baron Marel. The Baron sought out the woman bold enough to write her heart into a letter, and, upon finding her, was convinced that this was a reincarnation of his wife, whom he had sacrificed in his quest for immortality. He was determined to have her back.

Working with great subtlety, the Baron caused a number of events to occur. A spell of coldness here, a spell of disease there, and a spell of ill-luck at the right time. The Arch Mage, working out of a kindness the Baron expected, gave up his belongings into the safekeeping of another, and went into danger, thinking them safe.

This was the moment the Baron was waiting for...

Baron Morel lashed the guardian with a spell of ill-health, and one of minor confusion, so that when the lad stumbled back to his temple, he destroyed the Arch Mage's belongings... and the bag containing the heart...

The Baron's power reached out, seeking the heart, seeing his prize at last found... but one was waiting to prevent this, for She had seen the Baron's lust, and was ready to act, faster than he.

The heart She gently removed from the letter, and separated both heart and letter into three pieces, hiding them throughout the Realm, so that the Baron could not find it. But why not simply return the heart to the lass, and have done with it? The answer lay in the spells already wrought by the dark lord, Morel. The heart was tainted by his magic, and needed cleansing before being returned. Then there was the small matter of Morel himself.

Time was needed, and so She hid the pieces of the heart and letter throughout the Realm so that she would have time to work certain magics upon the woman's Pattern, and her place within the Tapestry.

The Lady knew she could not act against Morel directly, but with his spells at a critical stage, now was the time to act - swiftly and brutally, shattering his focus. Thus, when Her Pattern-working was done, and the lass's Thread strengthened enough to survive the sorceries involved, the Lady set her folk into motion...

Two of the three tasks are complete: The Baron has been slain, and, upon returning his flesh to his spirit, will need time to recover his strength and continue the search for the heart and letter. But the heart has already been regained - the three pieces gathered. Only the letter remains.

When the three letters are regained, all will be ready.

I will need the aid of any Chosen present, as well as the lass, Silonch, when the heart and letter are returned. Others, too, who are close to her heart, must be present as well.

The magics involved are not dangerous, but it may well be draining to all present, so when the time comes that I call, let any available make their way to the Amphitheatre well rested and their bodies and spirits nourished for the task at hand.
