Yarah looked expectantly at Sorcha and waited for a reply. But when none
came forth, not even a word, he realised that it was futile. His hopes of
the order would be crushed. There would be no discussion for he had not
received replies for such important questions.

So Yarah turned around and walked away from her, deciding to leave all of
the recent past behind and try to find a different focus for his life. First
the fiasco in Avamar Selective and now in Ibladesh. He had had enough.

As he walked away, he received letter from one of the orders faithfuls in
Beziers that the new lord there, Arfeniel had even sacked the temple twice.
Now there was nothing there to do. The temple was likely gone, reduced to
but a remembrance of Yarah's failed attempt at trying to change the world
and to make people more brotherly.

With that sacking's news on his, Yarah walked away without telling anyone.
He decided to disappear for a while away from people and get his focus on
life again. Silently he wished good bye to his old home and left Lorient.
