And when the fisherman brought his lifeless body to shore, he was without his cloak.
“May he be spared the wrath of Faldyr, Saint of War.”
In the pile of clothes he had been wearing that was given to me by Solise, his cloak hadn’t been there.

Why would he remove his cloak?
“And let him live in the light of Katia, Keeper of the Benevolent Saints, Heart of the Eleven, for all eternity.”
He wouldn’t.
“To our Saints, we pray.”
