Of the faith

Friar Jassin Balvaris listened to the Arbiter as he walked alongside her. He kept his hands folded inside the sleeves of his dark blue robes. People kept their distance as they walked and conversed. but many made the Sign of Illumination, holding their hands cupped to their head pointing towards the skies, in a sign of respect to Kupen, god of sky and his priest.
The Friar was a tall man, but not as tall as Voah. And although the age of carnal desire had long since passed him, he could tell she was a very desirable woman. How she had managed to keep hold of such beauty through the brutality of being and Inquisitor was beyond him.

Voah Sahnsuur, Sirenian Swan of Vastad. Arbiter of the Inquisition Office, Sword of the Five Pillars. Slayer of Evanora Frost, cryomancer of Edormi. Eradicator of the Vro'ni Clan, Heralds of Dark. So many accomplishments for one so young. So lost was Balvaris in his reveries that he almost missed her question.

"Sir Zane is not a follower of Kupen. And if he follows any of the Five Pillars he will likely be a disciple of Vastad, God of War and Justice or Zin, God of the Underworld." he said trying to answer her question as truthfully as possible." He is a reaper of men and souls."

"You are very perceptive, my daughter, but the conflict you sense is simply worry. Sir Zane is a pragmatic man and he is worried what your presence might mean to Ostiarium's future."
