"The Butcher" Daathrata

The Grey Wardens are invited to the Barbecue.

This is a crime against cullinary arts but I am the bad guy?

Marvelous.

Crows kill in such artistic ways.

If you can deliver such showmanship on the reverse I will be just as delighted.

I would be more than pleased to participate.

Especially if it means bringing light to the true beauty of Treviso.

Occasionally.

Was I supposed to be informed of this, or were they hoping I wouldn't notice?

Lucky for them... I will gladly spend a whole day showing off my favorite spots in the city.

I do indeed.
✨️

Silence from you.

I will not share it any further.

Those that saw it, saw it
And those that didn't didn't.

And in any case.
I looked magnificent in it.

It has been some time since I heard of Rook visiting Treviso.

The Crows whisper their name when they think I can not hear.

Every time I see a Crow murder a Venaroti in broad daylight I remember why I love this city.

A strong bond, something to fight for.

To unlearn lessons taught for a lifetime is not easy, but sometimes one finds things that make it worth it.

I always did.

But the Qun's indoctrination clouded my eyes to my own actions.

I hope I will be here to see that day.

This deserves no Thanks.

It is the bare least we ought to do after our many faults and damage to the city and its people.

They will continue their training, and I have asigned them patrols and guarding duties.

Mostly to avoid outsider threats trying to harm Treviso like the blighted dragon once tried...

Treviso has no Army, after all.
But now, it does.

What do you mean?

I hope co-existance comes sooner than my artistic skills being museum worthy.

After the gods nearly blighted Treviso I understood the true horror of watching the fall of this city.

I refuse to become the reason it happens.

I have heard Rivain taken in wayward Antaam.

Lost Antaam flock to me as well. Those with dead leaders that still wish to be useful.

I give them a new purpose within this city.
Not to subdue it.
But to protect it.

Perhaps.

But that day is long in the future.

The Antaam follow along.

It has taken a long time but they are learning to be more than the blade of the Qun too.

To learn what was not taught is easier that to forget what was taught for a lifetime.

But we try. For the price is worth the effort.

Is there a greater way to show the Love a man has for something than through conquest and Domination?

Those are the teachings of the Qun.

That is all we know.

And yet.

When I saw Treviso scream in pain, my own chest ached. We are not here to hurt this place any further.

It is all a matter of opinion.

Nothing is more beautiful than to see my own Kin feel at home in such a beautiful place after years of aimless wandering.

No amount of paint or watercolors can ever match to Treviso's beauty.

But I am always glad to get close.

You should visit then.

Treviso's beauty can not be simply displayed in paintings, one must come see her with their own eyes to trully apreciate.

I can understand that.

Understand too my need for weariness.
