conversations:  @Tonel: It has been a week since you and your allies have deposed of Sarjon. The Mercy is, for lack of a better word...safe.
  
  As safe as it can be, at least. Alexia's threat still looms around the entire city, not to mention the ever increasing reports of the Elysium Bliss.
  
  Yet, as your allies train, investigate and sell whatever loot they have scavenged from such arduous days so long ago, your visits to Kayla, humble priestess of Heironeous increase as the young barrister reviews your paperwork day after day day.
  
  Until one morning...
  
   Father Carth! It is I, Kayla. They are ready to meet with you. Please meet me at the Palace of Justice. 
  
  The ride from the Mercy to the Palace District seems eternal as masses of people have congregated outside the ominous Palace of Justice.
  
  Kayla had mentioned that there would be a Conclave, a meeting of the Leaders of the Church to elect a new member into their fold. This draws all the faithful in Halmathan to the main square. Usually, it is done in abject secrecy, but years have changed these traditions and now, whenever such a magnanimous event is to take place, it is broadcast citywide.
  
  The Royal Guards escort you to the steps leading to the Palace of Justiuce, with lady Callewyn Godefroy leading the march astride a white horse as thousands crowd around the streets, with votive candles in their hands while Ronald shakes on your back.
  
  Kayla meets you at the door and bows as the guards stand in front of the great archway and block entrance from the rest.
  
  Inside, you are lead to the Room of Law, where Grand Inquisitor Connor of the Cudgel sits atop his grand golden throne, winged, as always.
  
  Highfather Jace sits upon the high pulpits as well, his halo as golden as ever as he nods respectfully.
  
  Father Bhagazzin is here as well, seated at the same height as Jace and crosses his arms and nods as you come in.
  
  Sir Randolph stands on the ground level and greets the neophyte with a heavy book in his hand, which bears the Halmathan crest- the Coiled Dragon.
  
  Mother Katherine the Temperate is also here, seated on the high pulpits and nods upon you entering, as a monocle p[laces on her left eye and adjust with a low whirr.
  
  Finally, Lady Silvarel is here as well, with her green tunic and auburn hair, who smiles and bows respectfully to you.
  
  Connor, from astride his magnificent throne, looks down upon you as a large Eye of God window allows heavenly light to enter into the room.
  
  "Father Borazon Ironfoot. You have been summoned to this Conclave of Church Elders of the Glorious City of Halmathan, City of Power. Home to the Airdan Throne. You have expressed your desire to become a Leader of Faith in our City and in doing so, to be recognized as one, adopting our Halmathan customs and bringing Phaulkon's Suel Mercy to our Kingdom..."
  
  Connor looks at you from his golden throne and raises a bushy eyebrow.
  
  "Are these statements true, Father Ironfoot?"

   “They are true Grand Inquisitor.”

conversations:  @Tonel: Connor listens to your words and then looks at Kayla, who bows deeply to Halmathan's Steward.
  
  "Your Holiness, what Father Ironfoot says is true. I have personally documented his life, which has been handed to you through our beloved Roaring Bear, Sir Randolph, who represents the House of the Valorous One with Honor and Bravery."
  
  Sir Randolph does a military salute and looks up at Connor.
  
  "Father Borazon Ironfoot is a dwarf of honor and virtue. Let it be known that the House of the Valorous One recognizes Phaulkon upon these lands."
  
  Bhagazzin stands up as the Heavenly light from the enormous window basks in the entire room.
  
  "By the Brawler, who was begat through Phaulkon, the House of Kord recognizes his heavenly father and his Representative on Oerth in Halmathan."
  
  Mother Katherine the Temperate stands up and looks at you as she addresses the church leaders.
  
  "Through Heavenly Wings has Phaulkon brought upon us a bearer of Joyous Tidings. Muoquol, who balances Trade and Fairness in all things, recognizes Father Ironfoot as a man of Temperance."
  
  Highfather Jace stands up as his halo widens the brilliance in the Room of Law.
  
  "Father Ironfoot is a man truly devoted to his Faith. Be it in this life, or the next, our brother from Suel is a sign of Noble Tidings to come. The House of Pelor recognizes Father Borazon."
  
  Lady Silvarel gets up and looks at you as she holds on to her oak staff.
  
  "A son of the Sky Archer. One who loves nature in all its forms... we are truly blessed to have his son amongst us. The House of Ehlonna recognizes Father Ironfoot as a man of  Pure heart."
  
  Connor remains seated as he looks at the other church leaders, who stay standing and then looks at Kayla.
  
  "You have indeed brought us someone pure, temperate and transparent... you may leave now."
  
  Kayla bows deeply to all assembled and the door shuts with an echo behind her as Connor stands up and points to a point on the ground as a mechanism grinds and opens a section of the floor, causing a small altar to rise, which Randolph uses to place the book on top as he opens to one of the last pages.
  
  Connor walks down the stairs of his pulpit as do the others and looks at you.
  
  "Father Ironfoot, are you ready to Ascend. To become a beacon to the Lost in the City of Power? Are you willing to give yourself to become a Pillar for this community, that through Phaulkon's Grace, may you soar on Heavenly wings to bring forth Justice?"

conversations:  @Tonel: Connor steps forward as Randolph steps back and you watch the Grand Inquisitor take out a black quill with a violet tip. This quill looks old, very old, as does the book.
  
  "Your hand, Father Ironfoot."
  
  Assuming you grant his request...
  
  It's a light prick on your index from the quill as a single drop of blood drips on the ancient page of the book and you feel a sense of Unity with every single Church leader in the Room.
  
  This feeling is unlike anything you have felt before as every single religious leader looks at you and nods in silence.
  
  Connor gestures to the book and the drop of blood.
  
  "And so, in the Valtalian Librum Excelisus, you shall be bequeathed the highest Honor in the City of Power, to be a Chiurch leader. Borazon ironfoot, sign the name you shall be adressed as from now on."

     Borazon Ironfoot, The Merciful   
conversations: Frendle:
conversations: human
conversations:  @Tonel: Connor watches you write your name on the Valtalian Librum Excelisus as he smiles beneath his thick grey mustache and the other church leaders clap as the quill returns to his hand.
  
  That's when a brief outline of a giant man flickers through the Room of Law as a pair of Wings seem to spread from its back, only to disappear just as it came.
  
  "And so, from this day forward, Father Ironfoot shall be known as Father Borazon Ironfoot, The Merciful!"
  
  The church bells can be heard outside as Lady Silvarel calls forth a falcon and lets it fly through the great window and through a tiny space.
  
  Bhagazzin places his hand around your shoulder and gives you a nudge.
  
  "Welcome to the family, brother! You just got yourself promoted to Church Leader! Let's get drunk!"
  
  Jace bows to you.
  
  "A fitting title, The Merciful, Father Ironfoot. Welcome to our Family."
  
  Mother Katherine does a light courteous bow.
  
  "The Church of Muoquol welcomes the Holy and Lawful representative of House Phaulkon to Halmathan."
  
  Sir Randolph looks at Connor with a hint of disdain and then shakes your hand, a firm grip.
  
  "We sure need new blood around here. Welcome to the family."
  
  Lady Silvarel actually gives you a hug.
  
  " Achara Ama Chev , in the language of the Seldarine, welcome, Beloved Spirit bound by Blood. I am looking forward to having you visit the Royal Park. We have a lot of birds there and..."
  
  Connor clears his throat as he steps forward.
  
  "It is time to present The Merciful to the masses."

conversations:  Borazon bows one last time to each of the assembled, now peers, Church Leaders and thanks each as they great him in his new role.
  
   “Thank you Father Bhagazzin, I shall endeavor to do our Lords Proud. I shall join you in such a quest for the bottom of the mug gladly.”
  
  “High Father Jace, thank you for your support and guidance, it has meant much to me, and I hope to receive it for years to come.”
  
  “Thank you Mother Katherine, I am honored by your support, and with endeavor to serve well.”
  
  "Thank you Sir Randolph. I am glad to lend my blood and sweat to the blessings of the city."
  
  “Lady Silvarel, I thank you for the gift of seeing a Falcon in flight at such an important time in my life.” 
  
  Then he turns graciously to Conner,  “I shall follow you to the presentation Grand Inquisitor.”
