inquisition
Meltokio has been gripped by a reign of terror. The Knighthood of the Kingdom of Tethe'alla, once known for their valor and courage, Kratos' former brotherhood, now rage through the land, burning villages that harbor half-elves, torturing and executing those that are not of pure blood. In their wake, they leave only destruction and grief.
Mithos, Yuan and Martel meet Lady Jessica for the first time at Provice's temple and she warns them of the dangers that await them in Tethe'alla. Kratos scolds his sister for roaming around the countryside during an inquisition, but he is nonetheless grateful for the news. They leave the country only days later, under the cover of darkness. Mithos finds Martel on the deck of the ship one night, praying to the spirits that the Queen will come to her senses and order for the killing to be ceased. She remains hopeful, even after the Knighthood openly admits to committing genocide "for the good of the Kingdom." Mithos isn't so sure.
