The powers that be...

Of course, Fanilly had no doubt in her mind that the goddesses were with them. So it was a comforting thought, wasn't it? The idea that Reon and Mayon were smiling on them, desiring for their efforts to succeed.

The young Knight-Captain took a deep breath. Stepping away from Sir Fionn and Sir Gerard wasn't just to address the knights more directly, but also to escape the crushing feeling of being between them at that very moment. 

Awkward didn't quite cover it.

She cleared her throat.

"In that case, I'll arrange for a meeting with the College's headmaster," she began, her voice more steady, now. "If possible, I'd also like to arrange for access to their library, but regardless I think it's worth looking through our own records as well. If we can find any information about the shards, anything at all, it's worth pursuing."

After the horrific scene at the fort, they couldn't allow the fragments of Angroron to go unaccounted for any longer. Not just because someone was attempting to collect them, but because of the damage they could do.

If another person died because of the Lightless Blade, then it would be too many.

"That doesn't just mean any mentions of them directly," she added. They were plenty aware of the effect that the shards could have on others, now, which meant that they could search for them as well, "Places associated with dark magic and curses. Those too, anything that could have any sign of their presence."

Fanilly didn't know very much about magic, certainly, but something as evil as that would surely leave a mark on its surroundings if it was left there for long enough, if not properly contained.

"Ah, er, as for the blacksmith, Sir Steffen..." she paused for a moment to address the ingvarr. He was so tall, she had to admit sometimes it was still a lot to take in, "I don't think he's ever taken a day off, except for Dwarven holidays."

She had to confess she didn't know him very well, but at the same time she got the impression he wasn't the type of person who took days off if he could help it.
