288 Leper's Inn

The night spent in company of Xula. A lovely dinner, a warm and relaxing bath with a lot of talking. They spoke till late at night, topic; politics, general affairs. Going over news received by many spies and informants around the continent. For many years, before King Blaine came into power, the hold Kreston had over the noble houses could but make a man shudder. Even the Order, supposed to be allied with the Empire, was brainwashed into serving their god. The Pope, who still hasn't changed in appearance – led many, many conspiracies. Bouncing theories at one another, Staxius uncovered a possible theory. Long ago, demi-humans and humans peacefully co-existed. No division nothing, fair skin, and animal features – they were on friendly terms. Not till the establishment of a religion hailing from the West as opposed to the Empire. 'A plot to overturn the Empire's rule through religion and culture, a subtle coup d'état,' tis was what Staxius thought.
