"Hello sir, I'm John Freemaneth. I'm wondering about the telepath, Sanoa. I went down to speak with her and noticed there was a bucket full of... parts. I assume there's been... torture involved in the course of interrogating her for information."

Vankil: ”Aye. She was a tough one, but we had to get a better idea of what the Second was planning, and make sure there weren’t any others snooping around. We normally do a harmless mind scan, but a telepath like her? That’d be askin’ for a problem.”

"Vandolf! Have you gotten anything important from the casket?"

Vandolf: "Not yet, but I've found something - or rather, someone - that's much more important. I'll ask him about the tower in a minute."

You chill with Tabi while Vandolf turns his attention back to the orb.

"I never asked - what was it you wanted to do when you set out for university? Did you have magical training before?"

Tabi: ”I didn’t have training, no. Before I entered the university, I wanted to create some way for anyone to use magic. Not stuff that you could use to blow up a city, heh, but more like, daily chores? Bit of kinetics for the convenience of easily moving heavy objects, bit of fire to light wood stoves, furnaces, campfires, just something to make everyday life easier. The idea was some sort of modular construct that you could attach the components you needed and operate it telepathically, so it would be close to real magic, just with a construct you carry around. The central component to that is the interface brick.”

She gives a goofy smile here.

Tabi: ”I even thought of a name for it too. You know how people name their inventions after themselves? I was gonna name it the Telepathy-Assisted Brick Interface!

The family was nice enough to use the store’s money to pay for university, the auto-loom was one way I thought of paying them back. At least until I made it big and turn them into an entire chain of stores, with fully automated clothing production! Or, however they felt like running it.”

I agree, preventing bloodshed, especially on that scale, seems like it would be the most reasonable course of action.
Now, tell me, what do you know about the weapon named Ultima?


Rauha: If you are referring to Kamilla’s weapon, Riehua, then I know it. It was made from the core of the leviathan of the same name.

Have you ever encountered a witch queen? You appear to be alive, so I suppose not. They are capable of bending space around them, either to cloak themselves as they stalk prey or to create miniature worlds that act as their homes. All witches are capable of bending space to a degree, making their cores significantly smaller than they would be, but only witch queens can use it out of their core.

Kamilla’s more powerful weapons are all larger and heavier than they actually appear, using parts of witch focuses that allow them to compress their components. Lucida and Atra were made from primarily witch queen parts, but still use part of a regular witch focus, due to the fact that a witch queen’s focus can reform the witch’s entire core, provided it has mana. Ultima uses a true witch queen focus, with much time and effort spent to remove the aspects that would reform the witch core. That means that Ultima is also capable of bending space like a witch, in a far more powerful manner compared to Atra’s usage of dark magic.

Riehua can also release some form of corrupting energy and open gates to the otherworld, making it extremely powerful for wide-scale destruction. That feature, I do not know its source.

Vankil: "Yeah. The lord still thinks she's hiding something else, but not relevant to the situation or something, so we're done with getting information for now. Lord's trying to figure out how to handle this when the conflict is over - do we just hand her back to the Second? Seems dangerous to do so. Keeping anti-magic chambers running for long periods of time eats up resources, so indefinite containment isn't such a hot option. Lord isn't someone to execute someone for a war mission they carried out, she thinks that's just the nature of war and you can't really blame the soldiers or mages or whatever, as long as they're not excessively killing. All of Sanoa's targets have been strictly military targets, so she isn't a mass murderer in the Lord's eyes, just someone doing their job."

People here are more afraid of Elizabeth than the Second. Last guy who thought to give a prisoner a little extra torture? Elizabeth came down here herself and had him tortured in front of her."

Say what you will, she runs a tight ship.
Thank you warden, my fears are assuaged. I admit to being a bit of a bleeding heart to this sort of thing, but what's done is done and it doesn't sound like she'll be treated unfairly here on out."

Vankil: "Aye. Feared as Elizabeth is, no one here wants anyone else as lord. Everything runs like clockwork, everyone gets a roof over their head and food on the table, and everyone is free to do as they wish within reasonable boundaries. The whole thing with the religion ban, there're still followers of the First and Second in Vranhal. Lord checked to make sure they're not the fanatical kind, and let them do as they wish, they just gotta keep quiet about it so the Second doesn't try anything funny with war recruiting. Once this whole mess is resolved, I bet that ban will go right out the window."

"Really! Huh, first I'd heard of that. Though that lines up with her, yes.
Alright, I've eaten up enough of your time. Thank you for the talk especially, learned a lot."

How did they acquire the parts of such powerful creatures as the Witch Queens? Is it similar to your situation - a specialized weapon?

Anyway, it's thought that the spirit currently in Ultima, or riehua, is unstable. As such, it's being held in secret facility using what I can only imagine is an incredibly strong anti magic field. This has been going well enough so far, but recently another weapon, Lucida, was released, and it hopes to free Riehua. The situation has been stabilized so far, but it's only a matter of time before something unfortunate occurs.
We're searching for a way to remove the spirits from each, but we don't know how that will go. We also don't know for sure what the best way to deal with what remains of Riehua after the spirit is removed.
