The Chain Warden

I am seeking any and all information on the Chain Warden. If you know anything, please let me know.

Signed,
Dunn Ironwill.

Dunn,

I wuz in formd that yor sichyooayshun is with the Warden uv Chains not a Chain Warden. Upayrentlee thay ar difrent. The Warden of Chains is the saym kiynd uv kreechur that the Lord uv Tears is. Or sow Iyv bin toled.

~Ergos

I like ya Dunn. Don't go poking into this one. I met the creature once and it shook me to my core.

Cade,

I apperciate your concern. But this being must die. I will not stop til I have hunted it down and seen its final moment. The Warden of Chains will not stop its spreading of indiscriminate suffering. I look to Midori. I see the terror it has put her in. I met this thing face to face and its very exsistance goes against my personal beliefs. If you know something tell me. I must pay my pennance.

Signed,
Dunn Ironwill

I've sent a missive to the individual we discussed, Dunn. I will let you know if I hear back before you do.
-Thalia

I would ask to be informed of this creature as well if you would. What it did to a soul....is not easily seen nor tolerated.

-Mae Fang Zhang

I would also like to be informed of this creature.

I've aided Midori helping a family that had suffered terribly because of this creature. I agree with Dunn, if it is true that this creature is the cause. Justice would require that it be stopped - and stopped swiftly.

Harbingers.

Older than the gods, themselves. And they claim to have more power. Given form by the resonance we emit from emotions. This one is from Suffering. The one that latched itself onto me for the better part of nine months was of Fear. Once it takes a host, it slowly drives them mad. Imagine your worst nightmares coming to life. Or the worst pain or anguish you've ever felt being puppeted at will by a creature of such phenomenal cosmic power that all you can do is wait until it is done. All you can do is endure.

Dr. Tobias was the mastermind behind the removal of the Lord of Tears from myself and the others it infected. I suggest going to him right away. He knew a ritual to separate one harbinger from its host. Likely he can do it again.

Swyft, Thalia, Dunn, if there's anything at all I can do to help, please don't hesitate to call upon me.
~Dame Amalthea Laurent-Belmont

I will see what I can do about putting together something to contain them. I've learned a lot about Espers in the last year.

- Robert Morgan

Please be careful. He is a big stupid bully and we need to stop him, but he has three brothers. Miss Swyft described the Lord of Tears a little bit, and he feeds on fear. But there's also rage and sorrow. I think Rage scares me the most. From what I've been able to find out, they're tied to specific locations. If we can find those places, maybe we can learn more about what we need to do to stop them.

I've thought of some questions for scholars to look into. Please forward these to your most trusted scholars. Furthermore... If I was able to use faith and science to attract is maybe a similar technique could be used to attract and tether it to an area within a transmutation circle. This is all theory craft for now but as for the questions.

When did the Chain Warden come into exsistence?

If it was at the birth of suffering, what was the event that triggered its creation?

Can we contact Miranda or Fiona see if they know anything? Would it be possible to tap Karkat for information due to his closeness with Miranda?

I will need scholars to look into transmutation circles used for binding as well as alchemical symbols needed. This will also need multiple faiths to accomplish this task.

Thank you,

Dunn Ironwill

Dunn, I can see there would be no turning you away from those. So I'll tell you to be careful. I tangled with him once and still shake when I think about it. If I can help again, I will. Just let me know.

PResent the questions to me Friday night of the next Feast and I will look into it.
What is your connection to this creature, and please do not tell me you facilitated its emergence.

I appreciate all who assist Midori. I'll be sure to personally brew ye a fine drink when it's all over.

Felix Suarez

Dunn, I too am seeking information on the Chain Warden and do not know much. Is there any chance we could meet sometime this feast?

Reyna,

I always have time for those who bear the cross. Find me after opening cermonies. I will either be in the Inn or at Ostcliff.

Signed,
Dunn Ironwill

To all concerned:

Dunn Ironwill's Soul has been successfully healed thanks to a ritual held on Sunday after the feast due to the efforts of myself, Viceroy Belegchand, Squire Cara, the Paladin Annora, Elder Nesterin, Corporal Adertha, Magistrate Robert, Soul Warden Starling, and follower of Galladel Bjorn. Anyone who has also run afoul of this creature is asked to contact myself or write on this inn posting so that we can try to set up a time to try to help you as well. As always, this is a serious affair and any and all knowledge of these creatures is highly sought after. Together, we will stop these Wardens.

Go with Honor and your Ancestors will Guide you.

I've been trying to find a way to stop him for about half a year now because he's a big stupid bully and I don't like bullies.

To all,

I must extend a hearty thanks to all those who have helped so far. This is the beginning of a long conflict so do not get comfortable. During the ritual that fixed my soul I prayed to Agaura. I called to her for tbe permission to declare holy war against the Chain Warden. If you are a raven then it is to you to end this living heresy. It is to us that this abomination sees its last days. That being said on a personal level. I Dunn Ironwill claim a personal vendetta to the Warden.

If you can see this Warden. I will kill you. I will feast upon your suffering as my righteous blade of her power cuts you down!

Signed,

Dunn Ironwill.

Dunn,
Relax. Fall in line with your church. The only thing you god cares about is survival. Either aid in that or be consumed by a personal vendetta. Either way let me know if you will stay focused or fall to your personal distraction. I do not care either way... I just would know who will be a soldier in the real war and who will be in the way.

Brogan,
God is about so much more than survival. She is about understanding the fundementals within our souls and mind that allow us to become stronger. She is the study of the cause and effect that allows us all to grow from phyisical attributes to psychological ones.

You needn't worry of my focus. A soldier I am not. But a scientist I am. Often times those who think with logic and understanding have a more clear view on the world thqn a soldier.

Signed,
Dunn Ironwill.

To the Corvi.

Personal Vendetta is an accurate phrasing cenobite. Any Corvi who see value in the fight may join it. Any who do not, do as you bid.

In its current form this entity is indeed heretical-- caustic to the world She envisions for us. Perhaps this will compel you to act. Perhaps it will not. This entity may very well test your make.

That Is All.

I ask that any with information provide me with a detailed briefing on this matter, as I am conducting research that will aid our side of this conflict. I will make sure that the information is spread to those else who need it as well.

Mantel,

Also coordinate with Edwin Haroldson. He is working with me in the pursuit of knowledge that we may use to end the Warden's reign of terror.

Dunn - your vow to personally kill the Chain Warden reminds me of another brash young man who made such promises. He, like you, was unable to keep them and died young. Do not follow his poor example. Please take note that it is usually those least able to deliver on such boasts who make them.

I would just like to gently remind all that the Chain Warden is, apparently, not alone as is stated above in these missives.
.
Please keep this in mind as you search. If I can lend aid in such a search, please let me know.

Go with Honor and your Ancestors will Guide you.

For those who are researching this. I have found there to be four Harbingers. Two we have met, The Lord of Tears and The Chain Warden. Each feeds on a different emotion or feeling. We have seen fear and pain. The two we have yet to see are Sorrow and Rage. I believe the four are coming and are getting closer. The only thing I can say is that I have heard of a weakness. All I know is it seams to be related to locations. If anyone can get me information I can focus my sight and try to find more for you to go forward with your research.

These creatures are from the first age. Some believe they may be older than the gods themselves. I have been opening myself throught my Argenti blood to find what I can but I need to get more information to better focus.

All information is helpful.

Thalia Maloovic

Miss Thalia,

I think the Harbinger of Sorrow is here now too, but I don't know his name yet.
