Letter between
Subject Prince Geoffrey to Subject Childeric.
It
has come to my attention that the Grand Master of the Order of the Temple, a
Jaques de Molay has arrived and taken up residence here in the city. It would
appear that all the eggs have been placed into one basket. Nogaret has drafted
all the materials; he will be dispatching them soon.

Prince
of Paris

Extract from BC
Chroncile.
There
was then in the fields about Paris a great tourney held. Many a knight from
across Christendom attended and they did break their lances upon each other’s
shields. Many fell and many received a great ransom and were made rich men in
their turn, for it is as God wills it to be. King Phillip oversaw the field and
it was indeed a noble display of true manly virtue.
Letter between
Subject Constance of Reims and Subject Soffredus
Magister,
It
would appear that the wayward harpy has flown the nest. I shall investigate the
matter, but I feel that more will have to be done. Those who have assisted her flight
will have to be found, there is a conspiracy here and I mean to uncover it. You
had best be on your guard. No doubt the errant childe will be thirsting for
some vengeance; you must do what is required of you.

Letter between
Subject Childeric and Subject Nicholas de Marne
Good
Sir Nicholas,
Be
aware that I have asked the Greek to come by in due course so that he might preform
his services upon you. I hope you have steeled yourself for what is to come
soon. There can be no errors, it must be all or nothing least we meet our final
deaths.

Letter between
Guilliam de Nogaret and Prince Geoffrey.
My
Lord,
All
matter shave now been dispatched and I have heard back from many that the trap
is about to be sprung. We shall capture as many as possible but there will
always be those who escape the net. I shall set a price of £3 on the head of
any that evade our constables.

Letter between
Subject Richard of Trois Fontaines and an unknown recipient.
Brother,
I
have gained knowledge of a plot against our order. Time is very very short. I
suggest that you spirit away all those who must be protected from the lash of
the inquisitor. There will be little time for you to gather together your
treasures, but you must do the best you can. The King of France, manipulated by
the malign Ventrue have turned their love for us into hate and their malice
will overthrow our brotherhood. I fear it is too late to stop it and doing so
would only result in needless bloodshed of innocents. As such I recommend that
you inform your associates and convince them to submit. I can only hope and
pray to the Lord our God will deliver us from the fate that awaits us.
Brother
Richard of Trois Fontaines.

Extract from the BC Chronicle
The
King of France did arrest the Templars upon a charge of heresy, witchcraft and
sodomy. Over CC brothers and sergeants were arrested and taken to prison within
the city of Paris itself, including the Master Jaques de Molay. All across the
Kingdom of France royal troops did enter the houses and properties of Templars
and did confiscate their goods and chattels.
Letter between
Subject Childeric and Subject Rollo
It
has come to my attention noble Sheriff that some individuals, friars of the
Dominican Order have arrived in the city accompanied by brethren of the Knights
of the Broken Cross of Acre. I have heard rumours of their power and that they
have come in contact with our kind in the past. The Cainites of the city must
be careful. I do hope you will inform those of our friends who should be made
aware lest something unpleasant befall them. I do not know where they have come
from, nor how they responded so fast to the news of the fall of the Temple. One
must assume that there is a leak somewhere or that they have spies close to us.

Letter between
Subject Hanif and Subject Mary
We
have a problem. Some of our brethren have been taken into custody with the Templars;
they must be liberated lest they draw attentions back here. I am in a mind to
seek the assistance of Khalidah, her associates are still on our clan’s debt
over certain activities in Cordoba and Tanis some decades ago. If they fail and
are caught then other methods will have to be sought. The Ravnos will need a
new home.
Hanif

Letter between
Subject Hanif and Subject Mary
Set
be praised, Khalidah and the others have successfully freed our brethren from
the cells of the inquisition. They are to go to Charenton and after some food
and rest will take passage into Champagne and from there to the borders with the
Empire.
