Tancourt continues to round up any Eclipsed Sun Cultists that journey into its territory as suspicions about them continue to spread.
Exclusive: Tancourt's Unlikely Guests - Eclipsed Sun Cultists and Mormaer Gwaithor Invited to Matron Finchley's Prison Barge!
In a surprising turn of events, the enigmatic Eclipsed Sun Cultists and Mormaer Gwaithor, once feared figures, are now enjoying the unexpected hospitality of Matron Finchley's prison barge in Tancourt.
Just days ago, a peculiar group of individuals clad in dark robes with the unmistakable tattoo of an eclipsed sun on their foreheads arrived in Tancourt, heralding the impending storms with an uncanny ability to predict their arrival. These cultists, who previously raised eyebrows with their foreknowledge and habit of rescuing villagers before the tempests struck, became the center of both fascination and concern.
As word of their presence spread, it didn't take long for the established religious leaders of Tancourt, notably the Sunpointers led by the ever-vocal Truth Bash, to voice their displeasure. The emergence of a competing faith, especially one boasting such predictive powers, did not sit well with the Sunpointers. They were quick to demand answers and summoned one of the Eclipsed Sun Cultists to reveal their secrets.
Rather than hostility, what followed was a surprising twist of events. Instead of clashing with the Sunpointers, the Eclipsed Sun Cultists found themselves invited to the opulent prison barge of Matron Finchley. This barge, notorious for its spacious but often overcrowded brigs, now hosts these unusual guests with the utmost courtesy and kindness.
Within the confines of their "rooms," the cultists and Mormaer Gwaithor are said to be receiving treatment beyond what any typical prisoner could hope for. Tancourt's prison barge, known for its austere conditions, is now providing these enigmatic figures with luxurious accommodations.
