eachdraidh | voice; open to both courts

[Faolan is not one for making announcements. Being a spy, he does not like to put himself in the spotlight. But he needs information. And they need this information as well. So after consulting the necessary sources, he turns to the lockets.

When he speaks, his voice is soft yet strong and sure. And a lot smoother than his normal speaking voice. He's got to disguise himself somehow, after all. He is used to using this tactic, and he is good at it. For those that know him, it will take a moment to recognize him from this speech.]

Fellow shardbearers. A moment of your time, I beg you. If nothing else should catch your attention on this day, then at least heed this announcement. A great force is rising. Some of you may have heard of Reynard the Fox, Lord of Maupertius. Violent, fickle, and unstable, he enjoys power and conflict, and having turned on both courts at once, he is seeking both for his own means.

Reynard is collecting shards, Unseelie and Seelie alike, for the purposes of gaining power. Unseating a monarch, perhaps. Creating his own court, certainly. Creating his own army, his own champions. Collecting more shards. Gaining more power. We cannot allow such a man as Reynard the gains that he seeks.

Be wary, fellow citizens. Be on your guard against him. A slight man with long red hair, beardless and fair of face, who flies a banner of a red fox on a black field. They say he is deathless, that he can transform into a fox. If you are cornered by him, run. If you are seeking him out, don't. His gain is everyone's loss.

For those who have encountered him before, I seek a few answers. A gathering of information. What has he promised you, if anything? What dealings have you had with the man? What do you know of Reynard the Fox?

[ lmfao of course, right when some things seemed to be looking up: ]

... Wait what!? How — how is that even possible?

[Wait what?]

When did Reynard turn against the Unseelie?

[Isn't that always the case though?]

I would ask which part, but then again. I would also remind you we are living in a land of fairies and imps where we are inherently bound by inner shards to serve one faction or another...

[/sass, oops, he's supposed to be giving a fancy announcement here]

[ she is so not in the mood for any sassback, youngin. there's a noise of frustration on her end before: ]

The part about him starting his own court! There's no way he can be as powerful as the monarchs, no matter how many shards he has!

What reason did you have to believe he was allied with the Unseelie to begin with?

[What do you knowwwwwwwww]

Dealt with him before, but any major points I've got you've already described.

Oh, right. He can also literally turn into a fox, you may want to add that into your broadcast.

He may not be yet. But that is the idea, and his end goal. Or so I have been told, by several reputable sources.

My reasons are my own until I know who I can and can't trust. I don't suppose you'd consider meeting in person?

[Not over the lockeeeeets. He doesn't trust them. ~~Partly because blind so never really sure if it's private or not.~~]

And you have seen this transformation for yourself then?

[Something tells him that you might know more than you are letting on, sir.]

Once, back in July.

[July. That would be the time that Lancelot first had dealings with Reynard as well, if Faolan's information-gathering is accurate enough.]

Did you train with him then? [Cutting straight to the chase - if you will not offer the information, he will try and seek it anyway.]

Around at the same time as the Seelie group, and helped them get away during that particular incident you're referring to. Reynard had to be reasoned with to get him to calm down after they got away, meaning I'm a little limited by what I can say about how I got away. Bullshit magical agreements, which I hope you'll understand.

[So you know, magically enforced blackmail.]

I would consider, yes. Name a time and place. I will meet you. [For information, he would do anything. And he is confident enough in his abilities to not feel like he is walking into a trap here.]

[And. Well if you are blind then at least he doesn't have to worry about you recognizing him HAHAHAHAHAhaha...]

[Faolan makes a noise that indicates yes, he understands all too well.]

[The comment about the fox is familiar though. Being Sigrid's man-at-arms, especially in circumstances such as this, of course he listened in on her conversations, first with Lancelot, and then the following message thereafter. He jumps to several conclusions and takes a few liberties thereafter, which he hopes he can be forgiven for. He is seeking information, nothing more.]

You are allied with Lancelot. What do you know of his dealings with the Fox?

[He knows enough not to ask Lancelot directly, at least, otherwise he might.]

[Waver hopes that Seelie-Lancelot is the Lancelot in question - even though Unseelie-Lancelot has his own dealings too.]

Was there in July, one of the Seelie training there.

Tried to get the jump on him later on, and was held captive for the effort. He was the one who made me aware of Reynard's shard hunting - but that is all I know on that matter. Due to obvious reasons, it isn't a matter he wants to discuss in detail and since he trusts me on the matter, I do not wish to go further out of respect for him and how the experience has impacted him.

Additional note, details sparse and being investigated: Reynard has some grudge against the Sisterhood, who for the time being are a neutral party in this war.

Understood. [Oh well, it is not all that much more than he knew before, but it is something. And it gains him the knowledge of another mention:]

The Sisterhood?

[Wow, he really is learning more than he thought he would, in making this announcement/call for information. He had his doubts, despite being the one to suggest the idea in the first place.]

Hmph. [There's the battering of a hammer against red metal--]

I had nearly killed that man. I didn't think he would survive, but I suppose my judgement was off.

who are you?

[in most cases, saralegui is secretive and close-handed with the information he's acquired. but seriously, fuck reynard. he'll be a bit more free with the info if it means keeping that guy from succeeding at anything.]

He tried to kill me a few weeks ago. It was a very illuminating encounter.

I have gathered information on Lord Reynard. Some that may yet be useful. Would you be willing for an exchange?

[Waver's had the opinion that Reynard needs to go down for some time. Sharing information with people who may be more capable than he is is the only way he can think of making that happen.]

Of Nymphs, they ususually just call themselves the Sisterhood. He's attempted to capture one of them, and nearly pulled it off, but the crystal prison he used is in hands that are trying to undo it's magic at the moment.

You were involved...in the battle in Treun?

[Harry had spoken of an Alice and Lancelot being brought in by the Lady - this cannot be Alice, so by the power of deductionnnnn.]

I am a Friend.

[Faolan's voice is reassuring. And the last word does sound like it is capitalized as well.]

I would give my name if you would give yours?

A few weeks ago...

[Faolan does some quick math.] In Treun?

More than willing. What are your terms?

[Faolan is all ears.]
