The horrors of war have not been forgotten in the last 4 years since the Mearaen Rebellion of 1164. The rebuilding of keeps and new lords and titles stand as stark reminders of the costs of war. And there are the countless dead on both sides of the rebellion. Bodies are still found in fields and unmarked graves.

It was a war started by the Deryni, yet few of that race perished in the conflict. Perhaps that is what sparked the flame of resentment in the beginning. Whatever it was, the sparks smoldered in pockets here and there across Gwynedd. Often dismissed as rumor or ghost stories by various lords.

Even the openly Deryni lords couldn't bring themselves to believe such things were again happening in Gwynedd under King Kelson's reign. So the flames spread and sparked more fires in the hearts of men.

As it grew worse, the Church condemned the violence against the Deryni and against those that retaliated. But by the autumn of 1168 the flames had grown to an inferno. Some priests, in very human communities, were preaching about the evils of the Deryni and their sorcery that has brought damnation to Gwynedd.

It is a perilous time and things haven't been this bleak since the death of King Cinhil. And it looks as if history is going to repeat itself and bring about another Deryni persecution.
