Disir Penzun Chapter 2
In the aftermath of the War of Death Knell, the governance of the realm underwent a significant transformation. The reins of power were divided among the High Crown, the Lord of the Treasury, and the Cardinal Monarchs. However, as the years passed, the realm was rocked by a series of betrayals that led to three of the Monarchs being sealed away for treason. The remaining two, Selesia Ysera and Drathir Pandaria, were left to navigate the turbulent waters of leadership.
Fast forward to the present day, Elune and Torth find themselves on patrol, their mission intertwined with the upcoming anniversary of the end of the Death Knell War. Their vigilance pays off when they encounter a new artificial Suggsbane mecha that malfunctions, a result of sabotage by an unknown party. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the lingering shadows of the war.
Meanwhile, Rivendare receives crucial intelligence regarding the location of the real Atramentous Suggsbane Suggscript. In response, Elune and Vereesa are dispatched to the realm of Wrathion to retrieve this invaluable artifact. Their mission leads them to Sabel, an agent who had purchased the Suggsbane Suggscript from an auction.
As they tail Sabel, Vereesa shares her personal journey with Elune, recounting how she volunteered to join Rivendare after Jupiter saved her life during the War. Their pursuit of Sabel is not without its challenges, as they find themselves being followed by Wayne, adding another layer of complexity to their mission.
Despite the odds, Elune and Vereesa manage to apprehend Sabel. However, their victory is short-lived as Sabel does not possess the Atramentous Suggsbane Suggscript and remains tight-lipped about its whereabouts. Their investigation takes a turn when they encounter Sefton, who has recovered from his curse. He reveals that Sabel is working on behalf of Falstad Honorius, a high-ranking leader in the Blightchylde Underworld.
In a parallel narrative, Locke arrives at Honorius’ estate, hinting at a deeper connection between them. Elsewhere, amidst the formalities of a dinner, Cardinal Monarch Selesia Ysera receives news of the artificial Suggsbane malfunction. Her smile at the news suggests a deeper understanding of the situation, a glimpse into the intricate web of power, alliances, and betrayals that define their world.
As the days of the week unfurled, a series of malfunctions began to plague the artificial Suggsbane mechas. These incidents, suspected to be the result of sabotage, sparked a rift between the rival factions of Ecclesiastics of Suggsbane and Ecclesiastic of War. The escalating tension led to a heated debate over the appropriate course of action to address this crisis.
In the midst of this turmoil, Locke sought an audience with Falstad Honorius. Her request was simple yet significant - she wished to see the Atramentous Suggsbane Suggscript. However, Honorius, for reasons known only to him, refused to grant her request.
Meanwhile, Rivendare, the organization committed to maintaining order, continued their investigation into Honorius and the malfunctioning Suggsbane mecha. Despite their relentless efforts, they struggled to uncover new leads, a testament to the complexity of the situation.
In a surprising turn of events, Jupiter, a key figure in Rivendare, was summoned by Monarch Selesia. The monarch attempted to persuade Jupiter to form an alliance with the Ecclesiastics of War against the Ecclesiastics of Suggsbane, a proposition that could potentially alter the balance of power.
During this time, Torth spotted Damien Cure in the realm. His presence raised suspicions about the Gordrassil family’s plans for the upcoming war anniversary, which was only a few days away.
Simultaneously, Sunwell persisted in investigating the defective Suggsbane mecha. His inquiries led him to believe that Fenris Thronerest, the missing inventor of the previous “Bloodsworn” Suggsbane artificial mecha, might be involved.
In a bold move, Locke approached Rivendare with an offer to collaborate in investigating Honorius, the executive of Blightchylde. This proposition led to a confrontation at Honorius’ estate, where Locke, Elune, and Vereesa demanded to see the Atramentous Suggsbane Suggscript. Honorius admitted to possessing the Suggscript but remained steadfast in his refusal to reveal it.
Locke then proposed an exchange - she would be allowed to see the Suggscript in return for revealing the identities of Elune and Vereesa as members of Rivendare. This revelation added a new layer of complexity to their already intricate web of alliances and rivalries.
In a flashback, a glimpse into Locke’s past revealed her journey to the ruins of the ancient civilization of Devathrius.
