At Gadra's Altar
After Halogen and Perkinina, Bardagas steps up and says,
"Blessed indeed was our meeting with Gadra. In that time
I quickly developed a deep respect and love for the Goddess.
For her honor and your memory, I have three things for the Altar.
First, here is the staff (it is 6 feet long and has two concentric red
circles near the top) which I used to aid in our quest for volcano
worshippers (Bardagas gives this to Eliarna).
Second, here is a pot of ceremonial red pigment, the color of fire, used
by my people and third, to this pot I will add my blood (Bardagas draws
his dagger and sits. Then he makes a cut on his left arm and lets a few
drops of blood fall into the pot. He stands and goes on to say).
Some day I hope to show that this blood comes from true brethren of the Agimori.
And may the Goddesses and Gods send a sign when I do so."
(Bardagas then gives the pot to Eliarna)

Perkanina takes out a long, thin package wrapped in sealskin. She unwinds the skin to reveal a longsword made of bone. She lays out the skin as a bed and rests the sword on top of it, singing a quiet prayer to Varla in Sea Speech. Then she returns to the barge.
When the barge goes back across the lake, (on the assumption that the people are still waiting by the bank), Perkanina steps forward and says to the assembled crowd
"I have left a sword in the new temple across the lake..
This sword is called Cuisinart. It is holy to my mistress Varla, goddess of
the Storm and Sea. When I was sixteen years old, I battled a great fish
among the waves. I took this sword from him, in homage to Varla who took
her sword in such a way when the world was young, and used it to fight
Chaos. This sword too has drawn chaos blood. I leave it here so that you
will honor Varla's glory when you remember me.
And to the women among you, I charge you thus:
Do not suppose that men are the only or the mightiest warriors, whatever
they might tell you..
Though you do honorable work here, never think that the tasks these
Agimori men allot to you reflect your limits. If
you are brave and strong, there is honor for you in battle. Cross the
lake to worship Varla on Windsday - she will show you the way, as she has
shown it to me. And when one of you is ready to lead men into battle for her
honor and yours, take up my sword - it longs to bite chaos again."
This is certainly the most any Agimori have heard from Perky since she arrived in Firehome.
GF out!
