Mountains Never Yield

Posted by Sasha on 07/26/21
It is with the greatest depths of my sadness I inform you all that my beloved Marquis Cirroch Sanna took our families motto to heart when he was given a choice to continue attacking the murderers that were trying to take down Whisper House. He could have easily followed others to take care of the minions that were holding those within the house. He could have stepped aside when seeing that the odds were against him. But he didn't. He stood his ground. He took his axe and stood up again, with a new fury in his eyes, and tore the attackers limb from limb. House Sanna and Giant's Reach mourns today, a wailing cry heard from the Redrain ward. Picking up as each house heard the news and joining in to tell the spirits that a great giant was heading there way, to hold him close, and watch out he's coming to them in peace.

By my hand,
Marquessa-Regent Sasha Sanna

The last prayer of the devout before battle is not for victory or glory. It is for the strength to step into that final blow with head held high, honour intact. In that, we are sure the Marquis' prayer was answered. Justice falls to the rest of us to deliver.
