Description:
"Rumours of my death in Mexico are greatly exaggerated."
A well-dressed older gentleman who sports a neat handlebar moustache, a well-thumbed notepad and a very functional-looking rifle. He looks at you with a critical expression...
"IDIOT, n: A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling."
Never one to miss an opportunity, Mr Bierce took it upon himself to seek out the Queen of Raktam in order to document the politics of the Royal Court and to establish Hospitaller relations with Raktam. His reception by the Queen was favourable. He then travelled to Durham and whilst there visited the Independent Republic Of Fort Creedy and observed the mercenary garrison from Raktam.
Having found the situation in Durham to be 'tense' Mr Bierce set off eastwards and visited the native village of Dalpok, the mighty town of York and then travelled homewards via Raktam.
Home once more, Mr Bierce has come to the conclusion that Derby is an Utopia by comparison to many of Shartak's other settlements. He has resumed his role as an ambassador, educator and peacekeeper. He may be found either at the Derby Fencing Academy (teaching new arrivals how to survive the rigours of the island) or at the Hanged Misfit tavern (bemoaning the lack of civilised food / alcohol / entertainment).
Recently Mr Bierce decided to investigate the rumours of a mysterious temple on Mount Shartak. He may have to rethink his views on faith and religion.
