On your way from the Arcanod to the Hallowed Round, our group of soldiers having returned here from Timony and having dropped off Sid at the Arcanod, now travel with Bolaire Lothalia and Murray Magnessen down to the Hallowed Round for a brief detour prior to heading to the home of one Hallandil Fang, where a week and a half ago, you guys mourned the death of Thiazi Fang. You look out and see the approaching hallowed round, and all you see, a beautiful amphitheater. Long, almost Colosseum-esque benches of stone in this ancient amphitheater, down to box seats that will have painted murals of wooden fences that have these beautiful, vibrant, living murals of orcish heroes from the past and the history of Dolmachiar, and down at the
At the very, very front of the stage, you see in that central mural, the mural of the opening play, which is going to be Kotherai, and you see Vokyan Mirzah, this historic orc who led a rebellion against Asgore the Conqueror some hundred years before the Shaper's War that failed. If only he had known that a hundred years later, his dream would be realized during the Shaper's War. You see the stage and the lone tree in the center marking the sacred space that has been taken by Hal and repurposed to tell a brand new story. For a thousand, thousand years, this place would have only been used to propitiate and worship Asgra, the god of war and strife. And now it can be used to tell whatever story mortals deem worth telling.
You look down and see on the stage there, as you sort of park your wagon, you see a bunch of actresses the day before the play. They're getting ready for a big dress rehearsal later this sort of afternoon, evening. People are coming back from lunch and you see someone you guys would all recognize from the funeral, which is Hal's business partner, Ol' Good Akarat, who is on stage busying himself. He's got a big sort of like wash tub and a washboard and is washing stuff. And he's calling out to people and going like,
All right, everyone should be back from lunch already. We got to, oh, hi there, Professor, Master Lothalia. Welcome back.
Hi, all good?
Hi there.
We just need to pick up a quick crate and take it over to Hal's, which is a quick errand.
Oh, sure, and he's coming back for a dress rehearsal. He's got to go do that thing at the, is he speaking at the Photarch today? There's several appointments that actually have to be dealt with, yes. I can't believe, if I, I'm just going to say this. If I came back from the dead, I'd cancel my meetings the next day. I'm canceling. All right. Well, welcome. Hey, everybody. Master. Now, have you guys come out of the wagon, and these are all Hal's troop. You got your hood up? My hood up.
Great.
Anyone who wants to stay on the cart can.
If you want to stay hidden, you can stay hidden. So instead, Olga just looks out and says, Great, help yourself back there. No problem here.
Can you tell me just a little bit about the show? Is it a comedy? Is it a drama? Is it a drama? Give me stealth.
Oh, jeez.
Is that a 20? I don't know what that is. I think it's a 20. Nat 20? Yeah. He goes, oh man, stranger, the show was called Confera, which translates to the heretics or the renegades.
