Role

Chapter 2

A chill breeze blew through the Fortress of the Light. Istdinen in his new
mantle of responsibilty say within the Hall of Light, keeping himself
involved with his work and keeping abreast with missives he had been
almost futilely trying to keep up with. Questions especially arising from
the Captain's requests of the Fortress as a whole had been somewhat
questionable. The Priest of Yean at first thought that perhaps it was
only himself that found issue with some of his old friend's ideas. Mizfara
is an incredibly intelligent woman. A long time of observation had shown him that
much, but he found fault with what read as a very linear vision of some subjects.
The Corsix stepped forward as well as some of the Brigade themselves to speak
with him. A meeting should have taken place first. Before the requests and
commands had been issued. With all the leaders. Attempts thus far to speak to
the Captain had been hindered by the war. That was no one's fault. The front
must be met with courage, defense and confidence in the knowledge of what must
be done. Still, time wasted in addressing the issues left them to be taken
for litteral. Assumptions that all the leaders were in agreement. It occured
that perhaps even the most supportive of the Brigade's elder compliment should
attend. Perhaps Corsix and Istdinen, even if the Cardinal was not there to
back up the discussions and concessions. Istdinen considered himself a diplomat
even if he did still, to some degree, have difficulty addressing others. Books
were easier to deal with by far. No matter, it had to be done and he would steel
himself to balancing out the field the Captain had propsed.

His thoughts drifted towards Humbert. He was young and vital. Most of all
Istdinen found that though there was a great heart within the giant, logic
did not escape him. Istdinen had forwarded his reccomendation for Corriann
be raised in robes, but he felt with the same certainty that Humbert was
the best canidate for Marshall. Someone to offset his Felar friend's
deep passion. She was not to be underestimated, EVER, but the Marshall, in
Istdinen's mind needed to be someone who thought with more than their heart
outside of direct battle. Mizfara was direct individual tactics, and exceptional
at it without question, but Humbert could train, approved of the idea and
supported helping others with their tactics, which much more met the middle
ground between Acolyte and Maran.
