| "No. But i am prepared for it." His helmet in his left hand, he dons it once more. | |

| "Why do yours wear masks of demons and such?" | |

| Akari: only in part. It is...spiritually significant to us. Our armour is...as symbolically protective to us as it is physically. We believe the spirits of our ancestors protect us in battle. The masks we wear are in their visage, as once the physical body dies, the spirit can take on any form it wishes. | |

| "Our armour is also significant, spiritually." He gestures with his left hand as he talks, walking beside her. "We cover our faces, as part of our covenant with the Goddess Akali" | |

| "It is... difficult to explain simply. When a corpse is buried, it is shrouded, in kelthro at least..." His explanation stalls as he searches for the words, gesturing emptily. | |

| "To hide the signs of death, from those at the funeral. The sunken nature corpses take... When we are blessed by Akali, she gives a measure of protection, but we take on a measure of... death. So as a corpse is veiled, so are we." | |

Gorath

| Akari: that is a...strange practice. *she continues walking* No real warrior would believe you dead men. Maybe slaves, or conscripted levies... | |
|

Captain Raeven

| "And real warriors believe your ancestors protect you?" | |

| "Dead men do not walk. Not with physical bodies. Nor do they die again when you thrust a blade into them." She grins "Your name is not exactly accurate." | |

| Ket smiles, and gestures towards her. "But when they attack masked, and veiled, with no colours and no banners. What is to say the man you struck down, and the man who comes for you now, are really different men?" | |
|
| |
Gorath
| Subject: Re: Empires of Ashes Reboot 2018-08-01, 20:30 | |
| "You mean other than their differing build, stature, eyes, and the fact the man I struck down is still lying where he fell?" | |

|
| |
Gorath

| Akari: true. Still, as far as my warriors are concerned, your men simply lack flare and individual glory. | |

| "Is that all, truly?" He stops, and looks out over the battlements. "And i had been told that we were part of precious little admired in kelthro." | |

He doesn't find him in the city. perhaps in the army camp. | |
