There was a lot of information to go through and Faith knew that she had to get things organised. She did it here, because here was a place where she knew that they were safe. So, she'd brought with her the maps that she had of Idalos and the information which had been given to her. She also had book on geography and politics, and she knew what she had to do. But first, Faith took a walk.
There was only one place where she'd go, of course, and that was to the place where - one trial - her body would be buried. Here in Famula's Domain, next to where Padraig would lay, Faith made her way through the garden and she knelt on the ground there, placing her hand on the soil. With a slight smile, she stood and kicked off her shoes. Just like she had, three arcs ago in Andaris, she felt the soft, slightly damp grass beneath her feet and a smile lit up Faith's face. So many experiences, so many people who had come into her life and either left again, or of course, those who had remained. She thought of Aeon, her friend who had been murdered by Noth. Of Lady Elyna who Faith had considered a stalwart friend, of Tristan and her time with him. Jamal, too. "So many people," she whispered, her fingers entwining with the grass. Yet, from the moment that she met him, Padraig had been a constant in her life.
"Come on then, Augustin," Faith said, standing up. "Time to shake a tail feather."
Back inside she went and she looked at the table where she was going to work. From her Domain Bag, she took the boxes containing the information from the meeting earlier. Each one was labelled with a place. Inside each place, there were the pieces of parchment containing information given by the Zuuda and Wisps in that area. She wanted to know what they were working with, where they had areas of strength and weakness, what their potentials were. After all, it was something which they needed to know and, now that they had the information, they could do what they needed to.
The boxes laid out, including the one marked "other" - for the inevitable things she had overlooked - Faith then moved and pinned the map of Idalos on to the wall. Each major city had been marked on it and now, she very much hoped, things were going to pan out and they would have a network - an army - and the ability to set up groups.
It was a lot - and a lot of information to take in, but Faith knew that her blessing from Vri would provide enormous help to her here. She never forgot anything, so she could work her way through this information as quickly and effectively as it was possible to do. Then, they would have something to base their intelligence gathering on, going forward, and would also know more about addition resources, possibly.
It was probably too much to ask, she thought with a smile as she opened the first box, to hope that one of them was a military leader, too.
