The Softer Side of...
Posted by Puffin on 04/01/18
Word filters out of the Lowers - apparently, a certain large Thraxian High Lord was spotted, in the month leading up to the battles in the Mourning Sea, taking orphans around town. Some were treated to a fine meal. Others to a few lessons in combative survival. Others to various Shrines, the beach and bay - one lucky orphan even got to sail on the Red Serpent for an hour or two. For the most part, High Lords seem to be too busy to take time to personally interact with orphans but whatever his reasoning, he's making time to reach out and show he cares a little more about those poor orphans and encourage them in their paths, whatever those paths are. Most of Thrax is a little confused by this, but Victus seems not to care. "The softer side of Thrax isn't a thing," they tell their High Lord. "Fuck it, I do what I want," Victus says right back. Of course, since this information filters through Arx after the actions in the Mourning Sea, Thrax nobles are mollified - given the fierce fighting of their High Lord and the temporary High Admiral of the Compact's Fleet, perhaps he's not too soft after all.
