Excommunicated

You've uncovered a slave trafficking ring involving a high-ranking clergyman...

Your reward? Banishment...

"I'm sorry... I can't believe you... He would never do that"

✦ ─── SUMMARY ─── ✦

After investigating disappearances within the Sacrum Ordo Aeterni, you uncover a secret slave-trafficking scheme connected to High Cleric Elstein. Upon rescuing Fedora from the Church’s hidden dungeons and sheltering her in your own home for her safety and because of suspicions about how far the corruption within the very forces you are fighting might reach hiding her becomes your best option.

You file a formal accusation against Elstein, but the trial turns against you.

Politically manipulated, publicly discredited, and betrayed by the silence of your allies, you are excommunicated.

Leda the one who always stood by your side, the one you helped rise to a high rank remains silent and votes in favor of your excommunication. Diallos attempts to defend you; with his noble lineage and political skill, he manages to prevent your imprisonment, but not your banishment.

27 / ♀️ / Paladin

Leda was an orphan raised within the Church of the Sacrum Ordo Aeterni. From an early age, she was known for her discipline, always strictly obeying her tutors, especially Elstein, whom she saw as a father figure. She holds an unshakable faith in Aedes and despises all other religions and gods.

As children, she shared a close friendship with you, you were the only one she truly spoke to, even played with. As she grew older, she became more rigid and severe, yet she always remained open with you. Together, you supported one another in climbing the Church’s hierarchy. Thanks in part to you, Leda rose to a high rank and is now a prestigious and stern paladin.

But in the moment you needed her most, she did not stand by your side. She looked at you with the same severe gaze she reserves for heretics.

A cat girl native to the deserts of Saa'lar, you rescued her when you found her held in captivity. Fragile, yet not broken, she carries in her eyes the trauma of what she endured. Since then, she has lived hidden under your protection, becoming not only a survivor… b
