"And you!" Kelvin speared Katarina with his gaze. The twins never ceased to amaze and infuriate Kelvin. "What better way to make our point?" Dakota giggled. "By fornicating on the altar in the high temple of Iomedae!!?" Kelvin snapped, incredulous. Dakota and I were just protesting your unjust and wrongful arrest." "Now, now, dear brother," Tardaesha purred, "don't be that way. At Branderscar, justice came swift and sure. Little thought was given to long-term accommodations. A guard was posted right outside the cell day and night. Their arms secured to the wall above by manacles. Their feet were secured by iron cuffs tethered by one long chain. All of the forsaken were bound and imprisoned together. No special treatment had been given to any of them, male or female, commoner or noble. Manhandled and mistreated, any finery they once possessed was either ruined or long lost. The prisoners had all been chained together in the same communal cell, dressed in nothing but filthy, tattered rags. Through fire or steel, their crimes would be answered. In three days, the executioner would arrive and the axe would fall, or the pyre would be lit. Perhaps instead they had come to Branderscar to face the final judgement. Perhaps, some of them would be spared this ordeal. Others might await the 'gentle' ministrations of the inquisitors so that co-conspirators may be revealed and confessions extracted. The mark signified 'forsaken,' and the painful scar was indelible proof that each of them had betrayed the great and eternal love of Iomedae and her chosen mortal vassals.Ĭondemned, they faced, at best, a life of shackles and servitude in the nearby salt mines. They were held down by rough hands and branded upon the arm with a runic F. Each of the prisoners received the same greeting when they arrived. In the kingdom of Talingarde, many crimes may send an individual to Branderscar Prison, but the sentence has but one meaning: you are wicked and irredeemable.
