The End of Cryxatum, Summer of Era XIV
Via "Sorcerer Express" Llanwyn arrived back at the Castle. He hadn't been there in two cycles and the newly crowned Archprelate was more than happy to be home for a few brightenings. He would have to return soon enough though, to Diana, where he would be meeting with a few religious orders and ultimately everyone else he would be dealing with from now on. Aerienne was being a great help and Llanwyn had a feeling the transition would be easier than he originally thought it would be.
"Good to see you, Lord," Said Peebles, the assistant to the overseer for the castle. "An'fel has been expecting your return, as have I. Any news I should know about in order to assist you further?"
Llanwyn was glad he had such amazing overseers taking care of the castle in his stead. He nodded to Peebles and thanked him with a grin. "Actually, before we get into that, I'd like to know the current status of the people."
Peebles nodded, "Of course." He exited the room briefly and called for An'fel. "He should be up shortly. I believe he's going over some plans with the farmers." Llanwyn nodded, happy to hear it.
Llanwyn took the time to take off his cloak and set it on a chair. He asked for Peebles to fetch a maid, which he did. She arrived with a gleaming smile and greeted Llanwyn with a curtsy. He smiled back and asked for tea. "Absolutely my Lord, be right back."
An'fel, a half-elven, older gentlemen, arrived a moment later with parchment in hand. "My Lord Siannodel, I am glad you have returned. What would you like to go over first?'
Llanwyn greeted him with a handshake, "First and foremost I'd like to know the state of the people."
An'fel nodded, "I have been working diligently with the farmers to assure that they are considering the good of the estate. We have gone over plans for staple crops for the next era and at this time the next pattern is tentatively planned." He cleared his throat, "Also, the guard has been active, though not with trouble. A few of them assisted some laborers with repairing the stables. Oh, and on that note, Briigo is doing well."
Llanwyn nodded, glad to know his horse was well. "Good, I believe we are about to get quite busy and in my head I have a plan of action I'd like to run by both of you." He looked to Peebles, a twenty-something human boy of good manners, and motioned for he and An'fel to please take a seat. "If you could document this Peebles?" He received his hot tea from the maid and thanked her with a smile. Then he took a sip and continued...
"I have been crowned the new Archprelate of the Church of Faith."
The look on Peebles' and An'fel's face was classic. They were shocked and excited all at the same time. Their Lord, their employer... the new Archprelate of the Faith, a holy man to be regarded and listened to. Being quite religious (both of them), this was amazing news. Llanwyn quelled their excitement before it continued, "I am also excited, I assure you, very excited."
Peebles congratulated Llanwyn along with An'fel. Llanwyn thanked both of them... "This will mean that much of my time will be spent in Diana, but I have plans that will bring me here quite often as well. This is why I am here speaking to you." He sipped his tea again. "I am already the acting Archprelate, and I must be in Diana in a few brightenings to begin the transition into the position with the help of the Lady Aerienne. I plan on returning now and then to build upon the following plan..." He cleared his throat...
"Castle Carmelya will be home to a new chapel, this is my plan. The chapel will be a Church blessed building, but will be my own personal place of worship. Of course others will be allowed to worship there as well, and services will be held there on a regular basis in time. The chapel will be in honor of all of the gods just as this very castle is in honor of the goddess Carmelya. I would both of your suggestions as to where this chapel should be placed and any other things you can think of regarding it."
