#it’s entirely possible ketheric had already turned to shar before Isobel’s death as his brother openly worshipped her

[wellthebardsdead]

Isobel: that- Glaive… I… I remember it- I remember… *looks from the sorrow glaive to Halsin, remembering a crown of madness overtaking her mind and her charging to attack the druid, leading him no choice but to wield his weapon up in self defence* how I died…

Tav: I… are you saying- Halsin killed you?

Halsin: I did… and for it ketheric unleashed the shadow curse as per Shars wish… it is a guilt I have harboured for a century…

Isobel: it- wasn’t his fault. I attacked him first but- I can’t remember why- one moment we were on each others side against my fathers army and then… it was like my mind wasn’t my own. *smiles up at him* there are no hard feelings on my end.

Halsin: but there is a heavy grief left in my heart… my actions lead to ketheric unleashing that unspeakable curse. And with it thaniel was torn from Oliver, countless lives taken… and all from blood spilled by my hand.

Isobel: … *reaches up and hugs him tight* you aren’t responsible for my fathers madness.

Halsin: … *sighs and hugs her back* and get forgiveness does little to ease the ache in my heart… but I thank you for it, Isobel.
