VOICE | SEELIE LOCKED; EARLY MAY
[ A few hours after Ariadne's post, which came after the monarch audience.
Lancelot's voice is clear and calm, if a little tired. This sort of thing always drains him. ]
For those who do not know me my name is Lancelot, I am marshal of the Seelie forces. If we have not met before, forgive me. Things have been busy of late, and today is no exception. I would like to preface by saying if you have any questions you are free to approach me, either by locket or in person. I am often in the training grounds here in Caer Glaem or over in the White Citadel. I never turn away a question or help offered, and I do my best to be transparent and honest in my answers.
Recently a lot of activity has been noted from a group known as the Cult of the Fox. For those who do not know, they are a native group who have a strong anti-shardbearer sentiment. Since all of us are shardbearers this is a little difficult to ignore, and ignoring it is not something I would recommend in the slightest.
I will do my best to explain, but if something is unclear you need only prompt me. The Cult of the Fox rose after an ex-shardbearer known as Reynard the Fox was felled by the joint effort of many of us. He used to rule Maupertius, and he was... Well, he had long since lost his mind. He betrayed all his allies and butchered many of us -- stole shards from people's chests to amass power. Reynard is now long dead, although for anyone curious I am happy to share what I know of him, but the Cult of the Fox rose on the premise that Reynard was seen to be fighting for natives. I am not so sure that is entirely true, but it is true that many of the actions of the courts are at the cost of natives.
Nonetheless, cult activity is particularly heavy in Daonna and Leathann of late. The cultists have already hung shardbearers, and are far too dangerous to approach alone. Their masks make you forget their faces, and recently someone suggested they can mimic the faces of others -- can reach into people's minds. If you intend to go to these areas I would suggest you think twice, or if you must that you do not go alone and you go well prepared for trouble. Natives of this land can sense the shard in a person. It is not simply a matter of not telling them you are a shardbearer, they will know.
We've been doing our best to handle the unrest but the natives have lost some of their trust. It is best to tread cautiously, for they will not always take you in good faith.
On the subject of shards, if you have never been taught the nature or use of your shard it can be done. Shards have a natural power to them that you can call on. I do my best to hold lessons when I can, but if you are unable to make them I will try to make time for you. It is a thing worth learning, especially in these troubled times.
Keep yourselves safe.

A fair amount. I was a little better acquainted with Reynard than I would have liked before he died, so when it began to crop up I did my best to keep track.
( audio. )
[ this is one of those times. ]
It's a damn pity you guys didn't reach B.F.F. status before he choked. [ and he makes it sound like a damn shame with the tone of his voice, too. ]
[ but luke's quick to quit joking around. ]
But, look. During the year when the monarchs decided to go on vacation, I did a little poking around about the Cult. I'm considering doing a little more now given how the shit's hit the fan recently. [ and get into trouble. such an implication probably won't fly over lancelot's head. the year that was moderately quiet had dampened luke's sense of adventure, but now he wants to thrust himself into trouble headfirst. it's the only way to live a demigod's life, after all. ]
DId Reynard tell you about his fanclub?
( audio. )
So far as I understand it the cult only sprung up after his death. We unwittingly made him a martyr of sorts, the last person the natives saw as fighting for them -- whether he was doing so or not is another matter, but it is what they believe and there is no concrete proof otherwise. He had friends who worked with him, who kept him as he was for some time -- unable to die, unable to truly live. I have a sense that likely as not they helped make the cult as strong as it has become.
