StoryFrits Capabel (order #7199991)

the grail

The secret of Montsegur

This is the blood of Christ

Montsegur hides a secret knownonly by few. Is it the Holy Grail? Is it a descendant of Jesus Christ

and Mary Magdalene?During the truce in Act Four

somebody has left Montsegur, the truce is cancelled and the

hostages will die.


Sicard Alaman

The Traitor

I had to do it.

The carcass of an animal is discovered in the water

reservoir. Is the traitor revealed? Why did he do it? For revenge? For gold? Was he threatened? Was his only wish to shorten

the unbearable waiting?

You can choose to let the traitor be one of you own characters.


The Cathar Treasure

The earthly wealth of the faithful.

Gold, silver, and a large amount of money.

Montsegur hides a treasure of gold and silver, accumulated

over decades by thrifty people. Not overwhelming, but enough to buy an army. Will it fall into the hands of the crusaders? Or will it be smuggled away to the

faithful in Lombardy?


Ferrier

InquisitorEvery sinner that does not repent is a soul lost on the side of God at

Armageddon.

Ferrier tries patiently and systematically to make sinners repent and return to God. A

dying heretic has been captured after an attack. Can Ferrier save

the soul of the heretic?

Durrant

Inquisitor

It is in the detail that the Devil reveals his presence.

describe the Cathars?


Mathieu de Belcaire

Bishop

From that ledge we can bombard the outer defenses and force a withdrawal.

Mathieu de Belcaire knows how to transform theory into results on the battlefield. His arrival is

bad news [for the Cathars\.

Has he fought Pierre Roger before? Have any of the men

at Montsegur previously rallied to his banner?


Pierre Amiel

Archbishop of Narbonne

In this Synagogue of Satan, scores of depraved souls are hatched out daily.

Pierre Amiel has spent more time at the court in Rome than

in spreading the word of God in his diocese. Now he represents the Church in the crusading

army. How important isthe crusade for Pierre Amiel?

Who does he know in Montsegur?


Hugues des Arcis

Seneschal of Carcassonne

When Montsegur falls, there can be peace once again.

discipline?

is knocked unconscious.Frits Capabel (order #7199991)

Corbario

Catalan mercenary

I can transform gold into soldiers.

A Catalan mercenary captain offers to bring reinforcements. 25 soldiers for the outrageous

amount of 500 sous.

follow him? Why does Corbario fail to fulfill the hopes of the

besieged?Frits Capabel (order #7199991)

Jean Rey

Courier

I bring news from our brothers and sisters in Cremona.

(Lombardy, Italy). Are reinforcements arriving?

Is it about the treasure? Why does he choose to stay in

Montsegur?


Witchcraft

Work of the Devil

Abracadabra

The Devil shows his ugly face. The milk runs sour, the butter will not churn, the grain grows

moldy. A chicken with two heads is hatched. Has a curse

befallen Montsegur? Is someone practicing black magic? Can a satanic ritual save Montsegur?


Revelation

The voice of God

Fear not! I am the first, the last, and the one who lives.

A vision, a voice, a dream. A burning bush. The divine reveals itself to one of the faithful. Is it a message of salvation and hope or an

omen of defeat? Who carries the message? Is the messenger

believed?

join the Cathar cause?Who has he slain?


Benot*

Pious child

happen?


Marqusia de Lanta*

Incapacitated by illness

All we can do now is to pray

Isarn de Fanjeaux*

A ghost from the past

Is blood not thicker than water?

A ghostly apparition shows itself to one of the

Cathars. It is a familiar face long forgotten. It speaks of an oath sworn years ago. What inconvenient promise must be

fulfilled? Can the person throw off the chains of the past?You can also choose to have a long lost relative appear

unexpectedly.Frits Capabel (order #7199991)

Two lovers*

While the world falls apart around them, two Cathars fall in love. It is unconditional, mutual and true. When do they realize this? Will they keep their love a secret? Choose a supporting

character for your main character to fall in love with.


The Flood*

Endless rain

It can only be a sign.

After days of unrelenting rain, the reservoirs overflow.
