It had been an eventful day.
First, the somewhat clandestine meeting of the zulkirs had been held to select a new tharchion of Tyraturos before the Evoker Red Wizards had a chance to select a new zulkir. While waiting for the council to conclude, Ihsahn, his knight Kalinda, the infamous Nikos, and the ever-talented Melody Singer encountered Malythist in the Throne Room of the Redhall - one of the frontrunners for zulkir of Evocation, who made it well known his ‘outrage’ at not being included with ‘his fellow zulkirs’ and the school of evocation having no voice in the selection of the new tharchion.
They were shortly joined by Kote Arna, an arrogant warrior of Kossuth from Bezantur’s Flaming Brazier, who managed not only to insult Ihsahn, but also the zulkir Lallara when she came to fetch Melody after the zulkir council. He left bloodied and bruised at the hands of Ihsahn and the knights, while reinforcing Lallara’s low opinion of how poorly a tharchion Aznar Thrul must have been, and how much free reign he had given to his close allies in the temple of Kossuth.
After the altercation, Lallara informed Melody that on a vote with Kul, Nevron, and Lauzoril supporting, and Tam, Yaphyll, and Mythrell’aa opposing, Melody had been proposed as the new tharchioness of Tyraturos. As the deciding vote in favor, Lallara informed her that Melody had indeed been raised to nobility of Thay and named the Tharchioness of Tyraturos by decree of the council! As Melody began plans for running the tharch and finding the right allies to assist her, Lallara left her with a warning that she hoped the ‘honor’ did not change her from the woman she had become.
------------------------------------------------------
At the same time Melody was being proclaimed Tharchioness of Tyraturos, the returned Tharchioness of the Priador, Mari Agneh, ordered an assembly and inspection of her commanders in Bezantur. Those in attendance included lieutenants Kalis Kurm, Azura, Ardin Riley, and sergeants Anastashia Shadoe and Taraska Traynor.
However, something seemed ‘off’ with the returned tharchioness. Perhaps it could be attributed to her long captivity, but to those observing some of her decisions simply seemed...strange. One prime example was when she was interrogating Azura about her involvement in the Battle of Amruthar. When Azura informed her that she was there and watched Aznar Thrul fall, being unable to prevent his death, Mari laughed like a crazed woman and immediately promoted her to Captain. Then, to see just how her remaining legionnaires performed, the tharchioness ordered a repeat of the War Games in the Bezantur Sewers that she had done long ago before the Salamander War and being deposed by Thrul.
The assemblage itself brought a small crowd to witness the proceedings, including Larson Osirus and Calhoun Mahr, as well as Ihsahn and Kalinda recently returned from Melody’s coronation. As Kalis and Azura were forming up their teams for the war games, the tharchioness briefly, and quietly, spoke with Ihsahn and was pleased to hear him offer his and Maurin’s support for remaining tharchioness of the Priador. Departing to observe her War Games from the Central Citadel with him, the Master Sergeant laid out the rules as the legionnaire Rozz finally came running up and joined.
The end of the games were anti-climatic, and did not impress the Master Sergeant. Kalis’ team swept through the sewers, en force, past the guarding sergeant Anatashia, without so much as a blow being struck by either team until just as the flag itself was destroyed. Kalis’ team was grudgingly awarded 2000 gold each, while the Master Sergeant reprimanded the new Captain Azura and her team. He told her that it would be her responsibility to restore order to the legion and to assemble patrols of Bezantur and the surrounding lands as a way to improve the effectiveness and teamwork of the legionnaires.
The legionnaire Rozz, being as impertinent as always, continually interrupted and refused the new captain’s command to salute when ordered. Venting his frustration at how far his once-mighty legion had fallen, the Master Sergeant ordered him seized - at which point Rozz turned tail and ran. Furious, and promising the tharchioness’ full support, he instructed Azura to organize the hunt against the fugitive and strip him of his standing in the Priador legion - or his life...

Congratulation to Karilynn and Animayhem for your character’s well-deserved promotions! And for our other long-term players...well...the Vengeful haven’t forgotten about your characters either. Finally, for everyone that joined last night, thank you for the great turnout - it was a lot of fun for me and I hope some of you enjoyed it as well! ;)
