The Madness of Chartrulean

Chartrulean and Sophrosyne ask King Starbringer a difficult question, but first he and Chartrulean need to clear the air. The paladins begin their work as guardians for House Starbringer. Loris joins Astreus as Assistant Director, reigniting tensions with an old flame. Sophrosyne and Borsha begin planning the garden party. Chartrulean finally falls asleep...but his slumber is anything but sound.
