The Screaming Blade Cult
My lord,
I'm happy to report that your cult is positively thriving! People are still talking about that little "display of power" we rigged, and we're seeing a steady stream of new converts.
Destris is a natural leader: strong, willful, reassuring. Still, he can be a bit... overbearing at times. Seems awfully eager to flaunt his new authority. Let's hope he didn't pick up any bad habits from Lord Paladius.

Worried About Detris
Destris is getting worse, my lord. His dedication to your cult has become fanatical and destructive. It's heartbreaking to watch.
He's actually started FORCING people to join the cult now. I've lost count of the number of times our recruitment talks have devolved into outright violence. His actions are perverting everything we try to do.
I'll have to talk to him, try to reason with him. I know he won't want to hear what I have to say, but I've known Destris for a long time. He may be in a bad place, but I'm certain I can bring him back.

Settling Affair
You can rest easy, my lord. Your cult is back in order.
I finally spoke to Destris, explained how his violent behavior was destroying the cult. He denied it all, thought I was just making a power play. We nearly came to blows.
It wasn't until I compared him to Lord Paladius and pointed out the similarities that he finally caved and realized what he'd become. Honestly, it was like a dam had burst.
He's back on the path now and doing what he can to restore the cult's reputation. Wasn't easy, but I believe your cult will emerge from all this stronger than ever, my lord.
