The Sicarii

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 4009

As they walked, they began to enter the fens. Andrea had been taught of the fens by her nursemaid Fritha, but had never seen them firsthand. She only hoped her suspicions about Frederigo were wrong. At any rate, he certainly seemed to know the fens.

"We'll have to be careful," he said, "This is a dangerous route, but we will reach Astra at precisely the right moment. Even if we don't we'll have effectively flanked her movements, and we'll be able to subdue her."

It was the explanation Lady Andrea Croix was going to have to take for now. She followed Lord Frederigo D'Honaire, stepping only where he stepped, as he had cautioned her. They stayed to the exposed roots of the gigantic trees which dotted the fen, which would not sink if stepped on. Gradually, she began to notice something curious.

Upon the trees were a sort of marking, a carving of some strange arcane symbol.

Andrea questioned Frederigo on the symbol after seeing the third one in a row...

  1. Frederigo explained that the Sicarii, a group of explorers, had marked the safe paths through the Fens. Andrea couldn't help but think he was withholding something from her...
  2. Frederigo explained that these were the mark of the Sicarii, the famed "dagger-men", an asassin's guild. He had fought them before, and would keep her safe...
  3. Frederigo claimed not to know what they meant.
