&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[image:Crestdragon small.jpg|200px|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
Wyvern Wednesdays is an ongoing campaign sponsored by key members of the [[Crimson Legion]] and the [[Ilyan Syndicate]] in an effort to promote community and roleplay in [[Ta&#039;Vaalor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every Wednesday, we encourage interested parties to meet at King&#039;s Court [Lich ID: 3519] around 8:50pm Elven to be directed to our destination for that week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Upcoming==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Story for the Ages! Come play a storytelling game with us where improv and fun is all you need. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come join us on the deck of Spirit of the Mists (lich: #33404) at 9pm or meet a little earlier in King&#039;s Court for a guided escort. Rules: Each person will be given a bag containing three items. Every participant will have five minutes to craft their epic tale. There&#039;s no winners or losers, just an opportunity to flex improv skills a bit but you do get to keep whatever is in the bag!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[image:Crestdragon small.jpg|200px|right]]&lt;br /&gt;
Wyvern Wednesdays is an ongoing campaign sponsored by key members of the [[Crimson Legion]] and the [[Ilyan Syndicate]] in an effort to promote community and roleplay in [[Ta&#039;Vaalor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every Wednesday, we encourage interested parties to meet at King&#039;s Court [Lich ID: 3519] around 8:50pm Elven to be directed to our destination for that week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Upcoming==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come join us 12/13/5123 for a good old-fashioned solstice celebration down on the farm. We will be knitting socks for soldiers of the Fortress in the cozy barn of Amaranth Farmstead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
The Opportunistic storyline began in April 2023 and is an ongoing storyline.  The storyline is focused in the [[Elven Nations]] in the city-state of [[Ta&#039;Vaalor]] and the nearby port of [[Mistwatch]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chapter 1 - 	[[Olaesta]] to [[Ivastaen]], 5123===&lt;br /&gt;
To view the Chapter 1 Synopsis, click &amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;mw-customtoggle-chapter1&amp;quot; role=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;color:#0000ff&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;here&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;mw-collapsible mw-collapsed&amp;quot; id=&amp;quot;mw-customcollapsible-chapter1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*On the 2nd of Olaesta, Lady Nueleth was missing a shipment for [[The Woodsman&#039;s Chisel]].  Local adventurers helped her locate the shipment in Mistwatch, where a band of thieves was attempting to lift the shipment from a trader. They were able to eliminate the threat and escort the trader and the shipment to the [[Ravelin]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Pirates harass the ports of Mistwatch, running afoul of several adventurers before fleeing on their ship.&lt;br /&gt;
*High Legionnaire [[Aureliano_(prime)|Aureliano]] encounters more pirates at the port, summoning the Crimson Legion Reserves and other defenders to his aid. They question the portmaster, who mentions that there has been a great deal of complaints about increased pirate activity in the nearby seas.&lt;br /&gt;
*As an impending storm brewed over Ta&#039;Vaalor, the road to Mistwatch was once again besieged by bandits.  Simultaneously, pirates attacked Mistwatch.  The defenders were able to subdue a bandit, and with the aid of [[Avawren_(prime)|Avawren]]&#039;s empathetic abilities, question him to find out he was part of a group called the Poisonous Lunatics who said they were simply capitalizing on the distraction of the pirate attack.&lt;br /&gt;
*A brawl breaks out in the Airmen&#039;s Rest while [[Igges]] is working. Pirate [[Shteve]] has been accused of cheating at dice. After the offending pirates are removed, Shteve is questioned about his dealings with these pirates. He claims to have only been traveling with them, unaware that they were &amp;quot;those kind of pirates.&amp;quot; After being vouched for by [[Yardie_(prime)|Yardie]], he is released from [[Crimson Legion]] custody.&lt;br /&gt;
*Adventurer Gwynek fends off another pirate attack at Mistwatch.&lt;br /&gt;
*An unnamed contact reveals to [[Yardie_(prime)|Yardie]] that the Poisonous Lunatics fell apart due to heavy losses sustained during their raids, but indicates that there are numerous groups attempting to fill the void, most notably the Cobalt Viper Company.&lt;br /&gt;
*Legionnaire Captain Tyavasinne states that her father, a Council of Regents member, is working on a defense proposal after being contacted by [[Teveriel_(prime)|Teveriel]].&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:UnianaoftheNalfein.jpg|thumb|Uniana and her expansive thistle tattoo, illustrated by brighnasa.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:TeverielUniana.png|thumb|Uniana and Teveriel on their way to the Festival of the Fallen ball, illustrated by Ashley Lange.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Lady Uniana Anduin Nalfein&#039;&#039;&#039; is a prominent socialite and currently maintains partial citizenship in [[Ta&#039;Vaalor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana was the only child of Lady Vlienive and Lord Chengric Le’Gondren [[Nalfein]]. Her father a minor noble and aspiring vintner, her mother of an ancient noble house and a former courtesan. She is the cousin of [[Lysistrata]], [[Lear]] and [[Vyctus]] Scio on her mother&#039;s side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she had come of age she was inducted to the Order of the Lily, a revered training house for the courtesan arts, though it was alleged to create operatives in all matters of the clandestine. When it was discovered that she had a latent aptitude for manipulating air currents she briefly was put into their elemancer program but her ability to pull and weave the flows of essence was sloppy and she seemed uninterested in attempting to apply herself to their rigorous research requirements. Even still, more recently she became something of a student of Lord [[Veythorne]], prior to his reclusion, learning more about the theology of air as well as the physical properties of the element. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After graduating from the Order of the Lily, she spent several years entertaining and offering companionship to the upper echelons of the City-States&#039; society. Hearsay suggests that sometime around 5102 her frequent trips to the West were due to her supposed involvement with the [[Dark Alliance]] and that she was perhaps intimately connected to the Painlord [[Eryael]]. It is rumored that at some point around 5107 Ta&#039;Illistim put her on trial for her supposed crimes towards the City-State during the second [[Griffin Sword Saga|Griffin Sword War]]. This could explain her complete disappearance from society and the gossip that she was serving as a lady&#039;s maid. At the end of summer 5121 she reappeared into society on retainer under the mysterious &amp;quot;H&amp;quot;. This would be her last assignation and she retired from her Order before the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She married Lord [[Teveriel (prime)|Teveriel]] Anduin Vaalor on Ivastaen the Twenty-First of 5122 and using her passion of cartography and understanding of air currents serves as the Chief Navigator for his fleet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:&#039;&#039;&#039;an alum-slated viridian silk fan&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Intricately etched to mimic the curve, length, and texture of a rose vine, three of the fan&#039;s alum slats are imbedded with tiny malachite chips, while the remaining three are carved into a twisted thorn shape.  Viridian marbrinus silk stretches between beautifully wrought slats and is painted with a blooming ebon rose, whose petals are appliqued with crushed velvet.  A pair of malachite cabochons is set within the alum handle, which is fitted with an ebon-veined viridian silk wrist strap.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:She is wearing a hair-thin chain of electrum and nacre resting against the sternum, a long vert train of tonal silk forming dark-hearted roses and gilt-traced dragonstalks over a tiered-hem hunter green chiffon gown hung from two wispy diaphanous panels, a floriated petite lasimor band gracing the left ring finger, a voluminous jade silk dupioni underskirt warmed by honey sheens, and a pair of thick cork-heeled sandals secured by a cagelike array of gold samite straps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Sometime in 5105&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was in his nature to approach with humility but his demeanor now might even border on timid perhaps even fearful. After a lifetime of service and the multitude of times entering somewhere unheard, there was so much effort extended now into being respectful and quiet, almost silent. The study was darker than it should have been, a symptom of the prompt dismissal of any who dare to enter. The concentration of light was focused on a heavy wood desk. The silhouette of a fragile female elf leaned against the edge of the tabletop focused on what lay beneath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without looking up from the map that she so intently studied, her voice questioned with a tiredness she either couldn&#039;t manage to hide or no longer cared to, &amp;quot;what?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recent intruder offered in a gentle tone, &amp;quot;can I get you something? When was the last time you accepted a meal?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though her fist tightened her tone did not change as she repeated, &amp;quot;what is it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no getting around what had to be said and it felt like even a sigh of exasperation would be a wasted breath. He mustered all of the courage and strength that he had gained from being in the employ of such an infamous creature and explained, &amp;quot;The bank will loan no more on your credit and your accounts are exhausted. Perhaps it is time to consider calling off the expedition.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, the female elf lifted her face and settled her heavy purple-toned gaze upon her servant. Her demeanor was neither cold nor angry, she spoke evenly almost as a matter of fact, &amp;quot;then levy the estates, the vineyard, the lake house, sell the galleon. Clean out every closet, every jewelry box, anything of value that is remotely in my possession.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As her servant opened his mouth in what was sure to be a cautious protest she cut him off and made her intent clear once again. &amp;quot;The only conclusion to this endeavor is finding Eryael Ladrinyth alive.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&amp;lt; Originally posted in 2005&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Harsh, shrill air whipped over her face with a violent sting, bringing tears to her blood-shot eyes. The cold of the mountain made the muscles of her face burn deep into the nerves. With a hopeless sigh, she turned and looked at the darkness that surrounded her, icy crags shrouded in grey fog. It would not be much different than the maze exercises her Order had insisted that she practice. Her watery gaze studied the incline for an extended moment and then the lithe elf shut her eyes. Inside her mind a pattern developed --each twist and turn, each rock and ravine she would be able to surmount and comb through. After calculating erratically the position of where the Black Temple had fallen, she began her ascension up the Dragonspine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Her movement was sluggish as she trudged along in the deep snow, sinking into her knees with each step. The thin silk skirt that was draped over her legs was dampened by the wet fall. Like a thousand slivers digging into her feet, she could feel every crack and point of unleveled ground beneath her. Feebly, she tried to keep her hands warm by sheltering them within her sleeves but it was only a matter of hours before the painful sensations that plagued them were replaced with consuming numbness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It was difficult for her to focus on the white-capped peaks ahead, even where she stood now the wind howled and clawed at her exposed skin. She took a gasping breath of frozen air that made her lungs burn in her chest and cried out, agonized voice echoing among the looming alpines, “Eryael!”&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Warm tears flooded her eyes until they breached the edges, succumbing to the frigid environment. Stumbling under a large conifer the girl huddled against the tree to shield herself from the unrelenting chill. The wind peeled at the layers of her cracked lips, while she parted them to murmur, “I will find you…”.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Autumn 5105&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How long had it been since she was found atop the side of the mountain? When she was found her extremities were a dark blue-purple with frostbite, malnourished and near completely under the influence of Zelia. She was recovering but her delicate elven features were now gaunt and sickly, her lips still healing from the deep chapped cracks. In the past months she spent most of her time laying on a chaise longue next to the window in her room that faced the Dragonspine. Days were spent in eerie silence as she looked at the mountain forlornly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all this time, she finally sent for him in the midst of getting her ringleted hair brushed. She did not dismiss her handmaiden as she spoke but neither turned to look at him either. “Is it true?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He took a step where she reclined and nodded to dismiss the handmaiden. He claimed the brush from her before she left and began to pull through the black cherry-hued strands with a loving gentleness. “The City-State is calling in your loans,” pausing to add for clarity, “all of them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made no sound but stretched out her legs from next to her, extending them to the end of the chaise. “Then we return home, for now,” she responded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hesitation was almost paralyzing as her servant spoke, “there is more. Our sources have stated they have seen a warrant being drafted at the magistrate’s office. They know that the expedition is not a recovery but a rescue. Evidence has mounted and it is only a matter of days before you are formally charged with treason and high-crimes against the Shining City. It seems reasonable that the Sapphire Guard will be at our door within the week.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He couldn’t see her smile but he could hear the musing in her soft voice, “then we had better pack fast.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idle brushing continued as he delivered a grim counter, “we would have been safe from extradition had the state of the accounts not been so vast. The debt is nearly immeasurable. Nalfein will deliver us without hesitation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh,” was the simple reply and it was followed by a length of silence with only the subtle rustle of the horsehair brush through her dark red hair. Then she sat up, pulling away and stated with no urgency, “have Samiel lay out the cardinal dupioni silk gown, the gold and eahnor pendant that goes with it. Then I want you to give whatever we have left to the remaining servants and dismiss them under the cover of night.” Standing up then, she turns towards her servant, “you have been the truest and given more than I ever had the right to ask for. There is a bottle in the cellar that is marked with a faint golden script near the bottom of the middle rack. Inside are the details of a seaside villa that has no ties to me or my family in the Bay of Black Pearls. It is yours with my deepest gratitude.” Another pause was taken so that she could place her hands upon his, clutching them around the brush. “This is my final ask of you and I will hear no retort.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Winter 5107&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hands were bound with steel cuffs, it seemed unnecessary but also rather ironic. At least she could find some humor in the situation, if not a bit of flattery. As she shifted her small wrists in the heavy shackles a booming voice rang out in the small chamber.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uniana Le’Gondren Nalfein, you stand charged with treason against the City-State of Illistim, stimulating war against the Shining City, encouraging sorcery within the city walls, endangering the safety of others and aiding and abetting known war criminals. How do you plead?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Often and believably. Would you like to hear?” Uniana pulled her lips into a side-set grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another voice came from off to the side, as Murstyr Javilerre quipped “Of course she wouldn’t take this seriously.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana shook her head. “I noticed there is no one recording this briefing but I would like to go on record that I appreciate Lord Javilerre’s forceful method of cuffing.” She raised her shackled wrists for emphasis and changed her gaze to focus directly on the aged elf and murmured lasciviously, “now I know where your son acquired his skills.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Murstyr moved towards the small enclosed platform where she stood in a threatening manner before the commanding voice from before ordered, “Enough. The evidence against you is insurmountable. We have every believable argument to sentence you to death.” The voice took a pause while Uniana remained in silence looking into the darkened corners of the chamber unphased. “Though, you have curried favor with the Argent and at the suggestion of the Council of Thrones we offer you some conditions that will see your life spared in return for effective services.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Like what?” Uniana asked with her voice dripping with aloofness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Describe your familiarity with the sorcerer Mekthros Savius Faendryl?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her blood ran like fire and her voice became sharp and biting, “if you expect to me to sit in one of your dungeons playing a part in incriminating anyone but myself you should just kill me here and now. Death over bondage.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A new voice, one distinctly feminine spoke out now, “ah, she’s just as melodramatic as was suggested.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana narrowed her eyes and retorted, “not unlike having a puppet court in a dark chamber with your interrogators in shadow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another voice now, scholarly and low, explained “we are interested in your ability to record potentially illegal sorcerous activity within and without the city walls. There is mounting pressure after the events of the past years to ensure that we are aware of any potential individuals of concern. Your proximity and unfettered access to one of the most powerful and feared Faendryl sorcerers at present places you in a unique position.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“To simply walk up and insert myself?” Uniana thought to herself. She knew that the Illistimi were problematic when it came to subterfuge but even this must seem poorly thought out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There is a prominent sorceress of a well-to-do family who is in need of a lady&#039;s maid and guide to Ta’Illistim. She coincidentally also is looking for an enchantress on retainer. She has agreed to pay a large amount of interest on your debts in order to take you into her service. You are to watch and report on any findings,” the female voice explained, “despite the manner of your recent apprehension it is said you are a master at discretion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Murstyr spoke again, “and there are additional conditions for this arrangement. You are to now and forever cease contact with anyone who ever had an association with the Dark Alliance, including family members. While under this agreement you are prohibited from performing any other,” he paused to emphasize disgust in the next word, “duties. You are simply a lady’s maid and an indentured enchantress. If there is any inclination that you are attempting to contact or signal someone with supposed ties to enemies of the City-State, it will be deathwort for both of you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A plea for death rose up in her throat. What life would that be? And what if a sorcerer conclave discovered what had she been doing? Most assuredly a fate worse than death. Then briefly, she felt it. The subtle pound of an alien heart within her chest, it was momentary but undeniable. She could almost hear the thumping. An echo of the connection that they once shared. Something to cling to. Something to live for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Summer 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fourteen years and nothing reported,” the voice outside her cell was heavy with anger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fourteen years and nothing TO REPORT.” Uniana shouted with annoyance and laid her head back against the stone wall of her cell. “I told your Commander a year ago, kill me. I have no desire to waste away in this cell giving myself over to madness.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It will not be much longer now, Commander Javillerre requested your file this morning. You’ll be in the embrace of Gosaena before sunrise tomorrow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t want to give in to the fear or the taking stock of how she got here and what it all meant. Her regrets, her struggles, her joy, and triumphs were vacant now. She found solace in the fact that maybe that was true for everyone at the end. Her laments were mostly with regards to her cousin. Lysistrata was never overly tender but her words always provided a measure of strength to Uniana when she doubted herself and she desperately wished she could tell her how much her mentorship and guidance had meant. Somehow she still managed to feel embarrassed that she had never discovered the fate of Eryael.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She paused to quiet her mind and still her breath. Only one heartbeat. Her own lonely heart pumping with increasing speed at the threat of her anxiety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A loud clatter made her recoil in fear. The gate to her cell was pulled open. A small box filled with her things was placed on the ground and then kicked inside. Atop her belongings was an elegantly scripted vellum letter sealed by a dark crimson wax imprinted with a storm griffin rending a deer. Her dirty hands pulled it apart with a frustrated curiosity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Lady Uniana Le’Gondren Nalfein,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I await you at the garden shrine. This is not a request.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;- H&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her lips parted into an open-mouth smile as she let out a pant of relief that ended up sounding more like a chuckle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Some things never change.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Fifteen years. It had been fifteen years since she last attended a ball. She had danced with Teveriel then too though she couldn’t quite remember the whole of the details. There wasn’t much to note at the time; it was just another event in a string of balls that she would attend for the social season. The most she recounted was a masquerade in Ta’Illistim and she recalled she had a metallic lace rose mask fashioned especially. They were still enemies at the time, sharing a dance under veiled pretense of civility. A small piece of her had hoped that the ball to honor the fallen would serve as an opportunity to rewrite a history that should have been. But her story was never much intended to be a fairy tale and she knew as much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The events of last night would serve as an opportunity. She had let her guard down, she felt too safe in Ta’Vaalor. Too safe under the eyes of the Legion. A mistake that would be immediately corrected. Today she was awake early, not in the typical way where she was restless and cursing Ronan. This morning, she woke with purpose and found Teveriel still asleep on the divan where Hanshayr had deposited him last night. She fetched a folded blanket from a cabinet, draped it over him and then departed the chalet. He was awake when she returned carrying a large object with a canvas shroud in her hand. Other packages followed behind her, a couple members of the household staff ushering them in. She called for them to be taken to the kitchen and have all that was presently in the pantry and larder tossed out. Though she briefly considered if she could season, preserve and package it and have it delivered to the Obsidian Tower in the West.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she greeted him, setting the object down on the floor next to the divan. She inquired into his current state and gave him a slow, chaste kiss on the forehead, then held her cheek there to check the warmth. Seeming pleased with his progress of recovery she&#039;d call for his breakfast - a large plate of poached eggs covered in sliced beetroot and a herbaceous green sauce served with a chilled glass of pomegranate juice. As he went to reach for a fork she halted him, pulled the cover off the large object and revealed an alert, small sparrowhawk in a gilt-frosted iron cage. She took the silverware and cut a tiny piece from the side of his eggs and placed it in the cage, watching the bird devour it. Taking the spoon she dotted it into the juice and allowed the bird to nip at the dark liquid. Sitting in silence for a moment she watched the bird keenly, before nodding in approval, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll see a clean spoon is brought up.&amp;quot; She offered him a kind smile and went off to tend to more fortifications to ensure the chalet would remain a safe haven in a city where she no longer felt safe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
She was up early, again. Not troubled or restless, she could see the path before her clearly and resolutely. The bower had grown too cold as it seemed the snowfall had continued throughout the night. After tea was delivered and the fire tended she gathered a fur robe about herself and leaned up against the mullioned windows, her violet-haunted gaze focused on the glade below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teveriel had probably been up for hours at this point but you wouldn’t know it by the swing of his arm as he cut through the air with his blunted sword. His aim was true time and time again, slashing into a barkless tree marked with notches to represent the heights of various enemies. There was a new notch this morning, one towering above the others and he seemed to swing relentlessly at it with grim determination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The berserker,” she thought as she adjusted the teacup in her hands to palm the bottom of it while her other steadied the handle, taking a pause to flex her fingers and release some of the stiffness. No doubt this was a result of her attempting to aid Akenna last night with the imbuing of runes. Such tedious work, manipulating the elements. Not like people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flurry of hacking sounds pulled her from her thoughts as Teveriel made a rapid assault against the tree. She knew the idea of Zerroth’s return had brought him dark thoughts and opened old wounds that never really healed. But that wasn’t all the news there was to consider. Her carmine lips pulled into a faint smile before she took another sip of tea. She longed to have this chapter concluded and return east. There was so much to do. Parties to plan, dinners to host as the festive season drew near.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then there was her harp. People had said before that she was something of an artist at it. She&#039;d like to earn that title once more.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Jastatos 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Who would she reunite with if given the chance?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother? No. She doesn’t need to see all the ways she’s failed. Let her rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eryael? Well, he doesn’t really seem to be dead now. Makes that answer a bit easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what about...oh yes, &#039;&#039;him&#039;&#039;. And then she thought about his funeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a typical day and she was bringing up a tray to her Mistress. The paper had been folded neatly, placed off to the side as she had done morning after morning but today when she reached the top of the stairs it slipped down and became a clump on the floor. Bending down to pick it up, she tried to crease it neatly the way it had been folded before when she took note of a headline along the corner: “SUPPOSED DEMONOLOGIST FROM NALFEIN SUCCUMBS TO FAILED SUMMONING”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She left the tray unattended on a nearby console table as she reviewed the details of the article. The facts were murky enough but his name was there and that he would be sent back home for a private funeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;They executed him.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had heard rumors that his name had come up numerous times in the treason and sedition trials following the war. She had seen him manipulate the forces beyond a hundred times and his power over them was confident, even aloof. He would have never lost control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;They wouldn’t suffer a sorcerer.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His family probably paid good money to keep the real cause from public record and this helped shape the continued narrative of the Shining City, that demons were dangerous and unyielding, even to pure elves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reclaiming her composure, she delivered her mistress her breakfast, paper neatly folded on the side and then requested a brief leave to visit her ailing great aunt in Ta’Nalfein. During the whole of her trip she was shadowed by a lithe figure in a dark cobalt silk cloak. The Sapphire Guard wasn’t being subtle, they didn’t need to be, but then again whoever was assigned to this task probably wasn’t exactly operating as one of their best.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day of the funeral she made her way down into the kitchen of her aunt’s townhouse. She did have an aunt in Ta’Nalfein, though she was more alcoholic than ailing. And she wasn’t even staying here at the townhouse. Nothing made Uniana come to terms with her fallen status in society as much as the fact that her own great aunt would not receive her at the family estate but rather kept her at one of her minor properties, like she was some lukewarm acquaintance or passing merchant. Uniana vowed that if she lived through this ordeal she would ensure her status among her family and society would be elevated once more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;If.&#039;&#039; He certainly didn’t make it out alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She grabbed one of the aprons and a plain leather-backed chainsil cloak from off one of the hooks near the backdoor and quietly made her way down the var, head lowered in discretion and possibly shame. The sidegate that led to his family’s garden was left open so that visitors could pay their respects but when she came upon the gathering there were only two males, about his age, dressed in plainish mourning clothes, a half-elf who was in brigandine and his mother. She had met his mother once. Uniana found her kind and smart, real smart. Not some kind of Nalfein feigned intelligence where you read a bit about this or that so you can manage conversations at parties but rather brilliant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked so frail now, pouring loam and ash over a newly dug mound. Next to the smallish mound was a stone of ebony marble and Uniana could determine that it might have been rimmed in black ora but she didn’t dare get closer to the gathering. She remained near the gate out of both respect and fear. This was her fault. He was her mark. She had brought him to the Dark Alliance. She made his mother childless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t all a game to her though. Uniana was actually quite fond of him. He took things easily and he was powerful, a bit of a scoundrel but ever clinging to his elven superiority. There may have even been love between them if they could ever stop using each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The small group began to walk back towards the main house, the mother stopped to consider Uniana at a distance but turned away.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
She doesn’t recognize me.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why would she? Uniana was concealed in outerwear suited only for the scullery and the dress underneath was an ill-fitted hand-me-down from her mistress who never used proper Elven tailors. Uniana took the opportunity to draw near the loose soil and she could see now that the small plaque had his name and had a tiny fragment of his runestaff contained within. From within the pocket of her loose dress she removed a single cutout snowflake crafted from dull metallic parchment. The necklace he had given her was long since sold for whatever meager silver it would have fetched but she still felt sentimental about it. And the ball where she wore it and after, the first time they kissed, even if it was all pretense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was by no means innocent but did he deserve this? Did he hate her for it all? Was any of it worth it? She didn’t deserve those questions answered though. If she could bring him back for one night, for the Eve of the Reunion, it wouldn’t be to calculate the cost of her deeds. She’d simply ask if he had a message for his mother.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Eve of the Reunion 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As they raced down the pier Teveriel called for the crew to begin cutting the lines. The entire dock rolled under the swell of water that came in fast, continuous waves. The onslaught of rain in the whipping wind and the blinding flashes made it nearly impossible to see and Uniana was certain if she hadn&#039;t made the journey across the gangplank numerous times before she would have lost her footing. She kept a close grip on Yukito as Teveriel ushered both of them from a sentinel position in the rear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as they were aboard the ship lurched away from the dock, the sails flapping in the wind. Teveriel ordered the capstan up and Uniana saw Yukito positioned safely below deck. When she got to the helm she questioned their departure but Teveriel assessed rightly that they had no time to spare. To punctuate his statement a crashing wave came over the railing and forced the ship against the dock briefly. Uniana pulled the wheel away and managed to give Teveriel a fearful glance but he confidently assured her, &amp;quot;she will hold.&amp;quot; He captained the crew to adjust the sails to catch the frightful wind and they instantly pulled away from the structure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Goliath waves crashed into the island as they sailed north and away from the doomed land. The peril was far from over as they struggled to navigate the storm. At one point Uniana realized they had been going west again for the better part of half hour but was able to chart them back to the northeast. A few hours into their journey the storm gave way to a gentle, though constant, rain. Uniana took the opportunity to tie the wheel off and give her hands a rest. She went below deck and had tea brewed for herself, the captain and their guests. Before she went back to attend her duties she offered Yukito a blanket and encouraged him to find some real rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dawn broke on the horizon but it only lit the clouds from behind, doing nothing to cease the rains. Before midday they reached their port and Calepher was as good as his word. Upon pulling into the bustling port of Ta&#039;Loenthra, a skiff bearing a silver-harp on a purple sail came out to meet them. They were not permitted to dock but they were granted permission to anchor, supply and take rest for the evening. When morning came it did not go unnoticed that somehow Teveriel had smuggled aboard some artisan pastries and fresh coffee. Then while the crew prepared the ship for the exhausting voyage back to the West the trio of them leaned against the railing of the Blue Fortress, sipping their coffee and watching the sun come up in a clear sky for the first time in what seemed to be the better part of a month.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
She had met with “H” all of three times before this encounter and each time he had used his intimidating presence to establish the nature of their relationship. He was in absolute control, he knew her movements, he knew things she assumed she had whispered in empty rooms and the way he regarded the things she said with a questioning, imperious glare made her feel as though he could sense her innermost thoughts. It made her wonder if he hadn’t a student or two of Harith in his service as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even still, there was something to be said for the way he deferred to her insight or recommendations about how to rally or connect with the pockets of elves who privately acknowledged Mularos as their patron. He knew that she was a lynchpin to Eryael and if Eryael accomplished nothing else he fostered a new era of Mularosian worship in the City-States. Politicians, nobility, commanders --though without leadership these silent proselytes were floundering. They were in need of a sycophant and “H” was just the type to take up the mantle or at least instill a puppet figurehead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s where the necessity of Eryael’s fate came in. Too many of them were even still under somewhat of his spell, much like Uniana. They required closure before they could possibly consider accepting a new head of their sects. No one would have been more knowledgeable or better equipped to discover the truth of his fate besides one of his soulbonds, Uniana. Uniana, who had spent years searching amongst the rubble of the Black Temple. Uniana, who had learned cartography to better understand the layout of the Dragonspine. Uniana, who studied under Lord Veythorne to learn more of wind currents and possible trajectories of debris on that day. Uniana, who still bore his mark with as much pride as one would display a wedding ring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The terms you had placed on my contract are complete,” she offered in the dark office that smelled of bourbon, velvetier and freshly-inked parchment. There was no lingering hint of roses in this room and she wondered if that would begin to dissipate from the other rooms of the estate as well. She reiterated to him the details she had collected and her own interpretation for him, “he is not dead but he is not on this plane. If you wish to commune with him I would recommend finding the best painters, vocalists and musicians and watching them. He will look for beauty and creativity as an anchor, only ones that are born of suffering and anguish. Though they have to be the very best, they would have to make Eorgina inclined to steal them away to build a second Li&#039;aerion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” made no immediate reaction but drummed his fingers along a vellum that rested atop his desk. “Eager to have your new paramour buy you out from the Order hrm? And what of Eryael, will you try to lure him back? You’re artistically inclined or at least the documents suggest.” He paused his hand and regarded her with a cruel smile, “I’ve never had the pleasure.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She opted not to address his second question and instead correct him on the details of his first, “the Order of the Lily does not deal in slavery or indentured servitude, I am free to resign at will. However, Lord Anduin is offering them a fair amount to ensure that we part amicably. Though my worth to them is obviously diminished along with my credibility.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” offered her a dark smile. “Yes, a bit of a novelty now, aren’t you? No longer a main attraction. Still my contacts at the bank suggest that Lord Anduin is pulling together a prince’s ransom. At least someone still thinks you are worth that kind of trouble. Are you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana didn’t respond, keeping her expressionless gaze on him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” stood from behind his desk in a precise, clipped motion. He announced, “well then, there is one more bit of business to conclude. You will join me in the garden,” he gestured behind her towards the door and added with a barely suppressed maliciousness, “I trust you remember the way, if not, permit me to &#039;&#039;&#039;show&#039;&#039;&#039; you.”&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;A letter crafted in the middle of the night on Phoenatos 28th, 5121.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The folded parchment bears no other detail on it except the word “Diamond” in a neat, black ink across the front&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I apologize for not writing again since the sentence was commuted. It is difficult to ensure that these will get to you without the risk of any obtrusion. I have found myself in the West for the time being. Making contact with old connections for old purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You were always my council, my heart and head are never to be trusted. I worry that my time away has made me soft and weak. The long years are giving me a desire to resign myself from all this wretched business. Is that pathetic? If I do press forward am I being stubborn? A part of me feels like I have already invested so much, I have to see an end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear, I find myself questioning if I am foolish. What kind of madness am I infected with that I would continue to give myself to this thankless cause? Isn’t everything I lost enough of a reason to abandon my foolish need for closure? For resolution? There is another aspect of all this too, one I dare not even put down on the page lest the documentation of it makes it more real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would give anything to be in your radiant presence again but for now your words will more than suffice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your Loving Cousin,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ruby&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;A letter crafted in the morning on Eoantos 23rd, 5121.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Uniana held her quill above the parchment and considered for a moment that she should write the following in their coded hand. Upon further reflection, the nature of the letter spoke to honesty and the absence of clandestine operations in her life, so she wrote freely in Elven.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beloved Cousin,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope this finds you ever radiant and in proud spirits. Vyctus seems to be thriving with his naval endeavors and I hear that Lear is once more the talk of the Ardenai court with his charm and steady aim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By now you have learned that I have left the Order of the Lily, my last contract fulfilled and myself now retired. My credibility amongst certain circles tarnished after my exposed allegiance during the war, my movements would never hold the power they once did. At least not as a courtesan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that brings to the point of this letter. These last few months I have been keeping the company of Lord Teveriel Anduin, who you know to be of good character and renowned as a hero among his house. He has inherited the title and estates of his father after his passing during the war. Some fifteen years ago we were so much in each other’s orbit but now the pull is undeniable. As the matriarch of our house, I seek your blessing if there is the opportunity for a formal alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The fine scripting on the vellum becomes a bit less neat.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know I have not always brought honor to our family and so your council in this matter will be heeded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Love,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana&lt;br /&gt;

The fires in the grand hall were roaring but only the loudest pops and crackles were heard over the litany of conversations and the upbeat, rhythmic playing of the orchestra. Everywhere she looked were glittering metallic ornaments and ladies garbed in rich jewel toned velvet. Her own gown felt unnecessarily warm between the barrage of the fires and the density of the crowded room. It made her feel flush or perhaps that was the passing smile of a familiar face across the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evergreen and gingerbread hung heavy in the air and she could almost taste the cinnamon and nutmeg of the mulled wine. Almost. Because none of this was real. Just another meditative daydream in an effort to escape the grim reality of her cold, dark cell somewhere in the labyrinthian building of the Ta&#039;Illistim Keep. The pleasant noise of her dream was replaced by the constant patter of dripping water from the ceiling. A soft sob could be heard from down the hall within another cell. Uniana rolled on her cot and shut her eyes, trying not curse Ronan for the thousandth time. She hoped briefly that execution would come quickly, she couldn&#039;t take another winter in solitude. &#039;&#039;She wouldn&#039;t.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

It was the sixth evening of their honeymoon in Ta’Nalfein and everything in her soul called to Uniana to remain in their shared bed. Yet, who knew when they would return to Ta&#039;Nalfein again. At least some business would require her attention before more pleasure. She had made time to dive deeper into the organization known as the Sparrows of the Night Queen, she and her new husband had visited some family and prominent shops and that left one final distraction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had barely put her feet on the floor when her husband asked with a hint of disappointment, &amp;quot;you still mean to go then?&amp;quot; Her dark curls shifted subtly around her face as she nodded wordlessly which prompted him to rise as well. They dressed in cloaks with encompassing hoods and made their way to the distant side of the city to a small domed basilica trimmed in ivory marble. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curved doors were open allowing for the quiet interior to be cooled by the sea air. Uniana stepped in first followed by Teveriel who narrowed his eyes as he studied the dim sanctuary. Uniana had no sooner pushed back her hood when a robed figure approached, arms outstretched. &amp;quot;I was hoping you would pay us a visit,&amp;quot; the older elf&#039;s voice was warm and his demeanor full of familiarity. Uniana embraced him and he put an arm around her, nodding over to Teveriel. &amp;quot;You are very welcome here, Lord of Vaalor.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The older elf and Uniana began to walk down the aisle that led to the altar. Teveriel shifted a moment and considered following them but opted to sit and allow the two a private reunion. Teveriel watched them as they whispered back and forth with smiles, his own lips set firm with displeasure as they drew closer to an ivory statue of an elf with rose vines binding his wrists, the thorns piercing into the stone with such detail that it appeared as pliable flesh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The duo bowed their heads before the statue and continued in muted conversation. The priest disappeared and returned, taking Uniana by the arm as he escorted her back to Teveriel who could now hear some of their conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We didn&#039;t win,&amp;quot; the priest said emotionlessly, &amp;quot;and yet we did not lose. You are a good ambassador, you could have been a good scion but that was not your path,&amp;quot; and the priest looked out into the pews to Teveriel who sat in a terse silence. &amp;quot;You are in a cycle of pleasure and beauty, doesn&#039;t the pain and loss you felt make it all the sweeter?&amp;quot; He did not let Uniana answer, &amp;quot;I have something for you. You earned it. You can walk in the light but the shadow of Lornon will always welcome you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He opened a small box of night-dark glass rimmed in pearls that were just as black. Even as he opened it the jeweled item inside sparkled in the sparse light. His aged hands held it reverently and he lifted it to crown her. As it blended into Uniana&#039;s dark cherry curls the blazestar halo began to fade away and her form was bathed in a muted crimson essence. Teveriel took in a deep, steading breath. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;During a couple of weeks of Phoenatos 5123, Uniana traveled to Ta&#039;Nalfein to secure contracts between the Gilded Talon from the Eastern Seaboard Collective of Traders. She also used these meetings in an attempt to gather information about greater concerns regarding the lack of security and support from King Qalinor and his government with regards to Mistwatch and the eastern seaboard.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As she approached the garden table set for lunch he noticed how golden her skin had gotten, something he missed in welcoming her home the night before after their prolonged separation. But now in the light of day, he could see against the soft jade silk of her chiton how the sun had warmed the tone of her pale flesh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I see you enjoyed the pleasures of the Talsen Lakes well enough during your trip,&amp;quot; he quipped before taking a drink of lemonade. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana leaned in to kiss the cheek of her husband before taking a seat next to him, looking over the light afternoon spread. &amp;quot;I did some work,&amp;quot; she responded wryly.  She reached out to spoon a salad of acistira leaves laced with maedatha goat cheese onto her plate before continuing, &amp;quot;we have secured a triad of new contracts from the collective, others were hesitant as they feel we are too closely aligned to the Crown&#039;s interests.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teveriel drew his mouth into an even line, his wife knowing that it was meant as an expression of disdain. &amp;quot;As if the Sovereign&#039;s interests are not the safety and well-being of all who set foot within his realm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She sighed and rested her silverware against the fine porcelain of her plate. He took note of her hesitation and instructed gently, &amp;quot;I would hear it all.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not know who but one of the Council of Regents has vocalized no confidence in Qalinor,&amp;quot; she added to clarify the poignancy of the revelation, &amp;quot;enough that it could be faithfully repeated to me though the source would not reveal them by name.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teveriel threaded his fingers on the table, grounding his thoughts momentarily. &amp;quot;For a variety of reasons, the path forward is clear. We must discover -who-.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;GREATFALLS: per Casil&amp;#039;s approval, added appropriate storyline category&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This log is from Ta&#039;Vaalor on 01-21-2024 from the viewpoint of [[Uniana (prime)|Uniana]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ambients prior to Vanathys&#039; arrival)&lt;br /&gt;
:A pair of well-dressed elven ladies converse beneath some maple trees.  &amp;quot;I heard he&#039;s reluctant until all this business with that boy and Ardtin is resolved,&amp;quot; the taller one says.  After an understanding nod, the other adds grimly, &amp;quot;Hopefully the former isn&#039;t inadvertently our fault.  I&#039;d hate for that to complicate things.&amp;quot;  The pair glances around and then lowers the rest of the conversation into hushed whispers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A bandon of soldiers marches west in pairs.  Snippets of quiet chatter sound above the rhythmic pounding of their boots on the cobblestones.  &amp;quot;--scouts to the south ran into a couple.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;--socks are going to be wet for days from--&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;--no answers yet from the one they--&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Botanist Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
:He appears to be a Vaalor Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is taller than average and has a lean, athletic physique.  He appears to have come of age.  He has darkly lined, almond-shaped indigo eyes and golden bronze skin.  He has long, sun-kissed sandy blonde hair twisted into a loose, disheveled bun, with wavy strands escaping to frame his face.  He has a gently angled face, a slim, upturned nose and a well-defined jawline.  A pair of small scars cuts through the pale arch of his right eyebrow.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is wearing a neutral plaid scarf looped about his neck, a vine-carved sephwir longbow slung over his shoulder, a flora-branded myrtle suede back quiver with crossed chest straps, a hip-length taupe suede jacket laced to the elbows, a sage vicuna tunic with a central panel of foliated brocade, a rectangular brushed nubuck kit, a slim pair of chocolate leather pants riveted in ivory roses, and some cire leather boots lightly caked in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You respectfully greet, &amp;quot;Good evening, Vanathys.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys greets, &amp;quot;Good evening, Lady Anduin.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Good eve.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krystalena smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking respectfully to Krystalena, Vanathys greets, &amp;quot;Legionnaire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You cheerfully observe, &amp;quot;You&#039;ve been hunting!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Aylysha&#039;s group just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys dryly remarks, &amp;quot;Not sure I would call it hunting.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You suggest, &amp;quot;Sporting? Birding?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods to Vanathys in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Krystalena, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;There we go.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Guarding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You curiously repeat, &amp;quot;Guarding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze with interest at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Mm. Some unwanted visitors yesterday.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;True.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We did check the darkwoode area, and the area with the bobcats as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You worriedly ask, &amp;quot;Did they bother the shop?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;I would think not, that guard in the shop should deter most pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Not the shop. They wandered onto my... ah, property. And from what Prisys has told me, into the compound.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You frown at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You quickly ask, &amp;quot;That&#039;s awful, is everyone alright?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys adds, &amp;quot;Not sure where they thought they were going, but it was certainly a wrong turn from my point of view.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;That is odd.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana glances at the longbow over Vanathys&#039;s shoulder.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The report was of some pirates being seen wandering around reading from a map.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I am sure they realized it was the wrong turn from their point of view too late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m not sure they had time to realize they made a wrong turn.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys quirks a half-smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Does your property connect to the swamp lands of the Toadwort at all?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys looks over at Laermeluion and shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s were they were tracked to last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m a bit further east and on the north side of the road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice Anarquendi moving stealthily into the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Would that be south of the weald?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;They could have been very lost, either the ones we found or the ones found about Vanathys&#039; property.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Some people just don&#039;t know how to read maps.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Somewhere to that effect.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;If they were meant to be going to the Toadwort, then they were rather lost.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I believe Legionnaire Tylanthriel mentioned seeing pirate on Aradhul road though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Or that might have just been peculiar bandits.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances northeast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys curiously asks, &amp;quot;Really?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha asks, &amp;quot;Would it possible to see where these Pirates fell?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;So it is possible there are bandits and pirates roaming all over the lands.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;He was patrolling and found them wandering.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;With so much trade from Mistwatch it is not surprising that they might even blend in among the traders and crews.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;d rather not have visitors, and they are... disposed of anyway.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I would say they were scouting for a new location to set up camp.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You think to yourself, &amp;quot;Fertilizer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But I&#039;m not sure if that makes sense with a map in hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(OOC) Vanathys&#039;s player whispers, &amp;quot;LOL.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Unless they are using the map to chart the areas in detail.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seem just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seem walks over to the bench and settles down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;When I heard the calls yesterday it sounded like they had a specific destination in mind. And then Lady Akenna saw one with a map.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[Ta&#039;Vaalor, King&#039;s Court - 3519] (u14100047)&lt;br /&gt;
:Maple trees line the edges of the court, filtering the moonlight cast over the orderly cobblestones.  Several elven guards stand beside a lasimor-framed board, chatting quietly amongst themselves as they scan the gathered crowds.  Darkly stained wooden benches, spaced between gilded pots of dragonstalks, provide a chance for a brief respite from the bustle of the city.  You also see the Seem disk, a sleek golden ferret that is lying down, a blue wolf, a peak tiger, a pile of freshly fallen snow and a wooden barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
:Also here: Seem who is sitting, Orssus, Squire Legionnaire Aylysha, Botanist Vanathys, Legionnaire Krystalena, First Legionnaire Laermeluion&lt;br /&gt;
:Obvious paths: north, east, south, west&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It would seem this isn&#039;t as isolated of an incident as we were hoping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you ask, &amp;quot;The compound is on guard now as well?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Though it was a bit odd that a couple of sea-faring types were so deep in the woods, on both counts.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;When the pirates first appeared; weren&#039;t they, and the Cobalt Vipers, trying to find something?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys assures, &amp;quot;They did not get far.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You let out a sigh of relief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;You do not want to be on the wrong end of a Greengair trap.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The pirates first appeared as a means to distract from the cobalt vipers I believe.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The pirates were cooperating to potentially smuggle goods off shore that the bandits stole from the merchants arriving in Mistwatch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;You destroyed the Cobalt Vipers though, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Hopefully those little gnomes that stayed with me will be able to cause enough trouble...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You glance over your shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You unsuccessfully try to stifle your grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes up into the heavens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We destroyed the camp we founds, and killed their leader.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;The leader of the Cobalt Vipers was killed, but who knows if another bandit took their place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;If I get hit with one more tornado of leaves, I will personally hunt you down, Watcher.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;There was a pirate captain present, but they got away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But there was word of three Captains if I remember correctly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;I claim no responsibility for their actions.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, perhaps the pirates are picking up where the bandits left off, if they were in league with them, as you all say.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys allows, &amp;quot;Or it&#039;s entirely unrelated.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Off the top of my head Cooper was the name of the pirate captain we encountered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;&#039;or was it Copper?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You muse, &amp;quot;Terrible name for a pirate captain.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;It was mentioned the pirates were masked.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But they weren&#039;t wearing the cobalt viper colors.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods in agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Did you get a good look at the clothe the pirates that tresspassed on your property were wearing?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You cock your head at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The ones encountered last night were wearing black.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;No cobalt, if that&#039;s your question.  I went through their things, but there was nothing of note.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I wonder if we are seeing potential recruits to this new outfit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Maybe prospects are given a vague map and if they make it there, they are allow to join.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;They just simply seemed... Ah, I don&#039;t know. Out of place?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s most pirates on dry land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Not very good in the woods. I could hear them coming from quite a distance.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Orssus says, &amp;quot;Seen Krol pirates all the way up in the mountains before.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;They certainly did not seem inclined to be stealthy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil suddenly fades into view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;They seemed to be recruiting a few months ago as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;You said you tracked them into the Toadwort? They may not be stealthy, but they know how to lose a trail. Or it was sheer luck.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Have there been any further reports of merchants being harassed?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;Forgive me if it has been mentioned, but we came a little late. There was mention of a map, was that ever recovered?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The search party last night say tracks toward the toadwort, Squire Legionnnaire Stavio encountered a few pirates in the swamp of the Toadwort.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You look at Anarquendi and shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It&#039;s very difficult to track through water and swamps.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But by the time the captive was taken into custody and I was able to join Legionnaire Tylanthriel and Krystalena to search the area it was all too much of a soupy mess out there.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the hooded crow bobs her head and lets out a series of percussive, two-toned chirps, threads of smoke drift from her open beak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi works his fingers under his sephwir circlet and scratches his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly to the hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It throws off the scent if you&#039;re using tracking animals, and the terrain reforms quickly or fills with water when it&#039;s disturbed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A peak tiger blinks impassively and lets out a raspy utterance of hunger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Anarquendi scratches the peak tiger behind the ears, the feline tilts her head into Anarquendi&#039;s hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;And there&#039;s a bunch of frenetic goblins out there doing all manner of chaos.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It&#039;d be difficult to tell what way they went.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha agrees with Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;It seems they have gone well beyond simply bothering merchants, that much can be assumed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I mean, there&#039;s still some harassing happening at the port, from what the guards at the shop tell me, but that&#039;s been going on for months now.  I&#039;ve not seen much activity on Neartofar Road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Most of the harassing I imagine is coming from the riots.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t think that&#039;s always the case.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Oh, captives were mentioned as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Legionnaire Tylanthriel said something about seeing captives last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lowering her head, a smoke-swirled hooded crow rocks her body and caws three times in succession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But I&#039;m not sure of the details of that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana is beginning to wonder if this is giving Illistim a case not to want to treaty with House Vaalor.  It comes off as very messy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I know we saw someone being pushed aboard a ship a few weeks ago.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Drunk urging or against their will?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at a smoke-swirled hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys pets a smoke-swirled hooded crow, which nuzzles his hand softly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;That was when the handkerchief was found, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Looked like a young male elf, malnourished could be how you might describe him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;And he was being partially dragged aboard as the pirates fled our defense of Mistwatch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha blinks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, I&#039;ve dragged people off before because they were too slow.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you explain, &amp;quot;It was quite hard to see, it was dark and they were far away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We found the torn gentian blue silk handkerchief with the letter G embroidered on it at the end of that same pier.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys mutters, &amp;quot;I hope I do not regret buying a shop in that port.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you reassure, &amp;quot;The Gilded Talon has a business office in the port. They have never had any trouble.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Orssus asks, &amp;quot;Do you think Ta&#039;Vaalor should try and negotiate ownership of the port?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys casts a quick glance toward the keep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Orssus, you say, &amp;quot;There is a lot of freedom in keeping the port privately owned.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking carefully to Orssus, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t think it should have been allowed to be built under private ownership in the first place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana was trying to be diplomatic. She isn&#039;t sure Vanathys&#039; feelings about Qalinor, even given his closeness with Oirisu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;That would certainaly would make things easier.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking amusedly to you, Vanathys remarks, &amp;quot;Freedom for who, though?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;If the port was owned by Ta&#039;Vaalor there would likely not be the pirate problem currently.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;For the crews and companies who do business there. For the government, who can levy taxes against the private industry and take little to no responsibility for the problems.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Freedom for the pirates of the seas, too, it would seem.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Even still, one can&#039;t just go around taking other people&#039;s things like a child plucking a toy out of another&#039;s hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Yes there  needs to be rules.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;The Sea of Mists must be one of the most dangerous due to the protection of the Gilded Talon, at times the Sentinel Fleet and not to mention getting through Nalfein&#039;s naval presence to the south, and including the natural defenses of the fog and low banks. There has to be something greater than simple piracy at hand. They would have a much easier time with some of the less guarded outposts, even if the plunder is not as grand. They would at least likely leave with lives intact.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The issue is the port doesn&#039;t have the means to currently defend themselves effectively.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana strokes the tip of her origami thorn thoughtfully along her jaw.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko asks, &amp;quot;Party?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys allows, &amp;quot;They do seem rather persistent, considering the consequences continually inflicted upon them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Hucko drops his sonic tiger-claw, it hovers in mid-air and gently bobs up and down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Not realy a party.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking kindly to Hucko, you explain, &amp;quot;We are discussing the presence and persistence of pirates as of late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko says, &amp;quot;Its pretty crowded.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Just a tad.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I do not mean to disparage the efforts of the Gilded Talon, of course. I imagine it would be worse without it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You look at Vanathys and shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;But the First Legionnaire is likely right. The port does not have the means to defend itself effectively.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi reaches over and leans a hand on the peak tiger&#039;s back, rubbing her gently.  The peak tiger looks toward him and purrs in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you reassure, &amp;quot;Not at all, you and the First Legionnaire are right. My lord husband agrees. I believe he means to send a proposal to the keep regarding his suggestions of safety measures.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just came marching in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods to Stavio in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio and Anarquendi clasp forearms in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio gazes in wonder at his surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I wonder how much of it is our responsibility, though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;But even still, all of that requires funding and ---yes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You pleasantly quip, &amp;quot;The freedoms of a private port.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko just went east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I return to that it should never have been allowed in the first place. Now resolving the issues is more complicated, I imagine.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A pair of young reservists walk by, their hands resting on their swords with pride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I generally stay out of politics, but I would prefer I did not have pirates stumbling onto my property.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;Any intervention will mean more than just that of the port itself too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You disapprovingly murmur, &amp;quot;That road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys agrees, &amp;quot;I have been complaining about the road for years.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You tilt your head up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just marched off to the south.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking gently to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;I hope your household was none too bothered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys admits, &amp;quot;Not much of a household to speak of, in truth. I don&#039;t like all the...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha glances at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Clutter.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi appears to be trying hard not to grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I was going to say bother, but I don&#039;t like that either.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A unit of Vaalorian soldiers, resplendent in their crimson and gold armor, marches through at a rapid pace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You curiously ask, &amp;quot;No guests to worry about then?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You swap your origami thorn from your left to your right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys smirks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana uses the tip of her nails to adjust the point of her origami thorn.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;No one was bothered. The intruders were dispatched of quickly enough.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;All roads have issues.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze up into the sky and see stars sparkling in the darkness...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve stars form a faint but jagged pattern in the skies, the vague outline of a six-talon claw barely visible in the inky darkness of the night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil cleans his spidersilk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a mummified cricket off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped grasshopper off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped beetle off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a dried fly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a mummified moth off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a dried cricket off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil dusts himself off.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil drops a silk-wrapped butterfly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi glances at Aharil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion glances down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shakes his head, clucking his tongue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys pointedly says, &amp;quot;We didn&#039;t used to have issues.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Thats alot of bugs.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana notes which side of the Sovereign debate Vanathys&#039; bread is buttered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi whispers something to Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A complete and utter feeling of smugness envelops you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We&#039;ve too many roads in disrepair.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Only in dire straits would I eat those.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You diplomatically ask, &amp;quot;Running on a platform of trade should mean an increase in state coffers, shouldn&#039;t it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha asks, &amp;quot;How would you pay to maintain the roads?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, I stay out of politics, but I would imagine so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys replies, &amp;quot;We are not exactly hurting economically.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You think to yourself, &amp;quot;You mean ceasing trade with the shanty halfling gambling town didn&#039;t financially ruin an elven City-State? I for one am *shocked*.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi glances down.&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures while summoning the spirits of nature to his aid...&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
A strong breeze suddenly picks up and begins to blow around in different directions through the area!&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped butterfly is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped butterfly is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi dusts off his hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A strong breeze continues to swirl through the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dried cricket is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown north!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just came marching in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio checks his equipment, adjusting and rearranging his gear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Nothing to do with the children&#039;s behavior, you said?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped beetle is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi makes a simple gesture, and the strong breeze stops as suddenly as it arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Critters flying everywhere.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Just because I showed them out to do something, doesn&#039;t mean I can control WHEN they do it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi rocks back on his heels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hooded crow ruffles her feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, you warn, &amp;quot;If one of those ends up in my hair.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi picks up a silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You narrow your eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi offers you a silk-wrapped grasshopper.  Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it.  The offer will expire in 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi flashes a wide grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You feel the blood drain from your face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;It&#039;s probably dead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You accept Anarquendi&#039;s offer and are now holding a silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You swap a pristine blush rose origami thorn to your left hand and a silk-wrapped grasshopper to your right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You feed your hooded crow a bite of your silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
Roundtime: 3 sec.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod to the hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Yes but  wagons, carts and mounts   damage  roads.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys laughs, &amp;quot;It is amazing they still let you in the gates.  Or do you have to sneak in?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
s&amp;gt;feed crow&lt;br /&gt;
You feed your hooded crow the last of your silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
Roundtime: 3 sec.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Elven to Laermeluion, Stavio says, &amp;quot;When you search toadwort did you see the shed , it could be someone held or hiding in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods at Stavio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I noticed it the other night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;On occasion I have been... encouraged to not come inside.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;It looks ramshackled and destroyed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;But most of the time it was mostly suggestion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Aharil says, &amp;quot;Most of the time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys plucks a silk-wrapped bug out of one of the pots of dragonstalks, then pinches a couple of dead buds off the plant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Roads can have regular repairs done to them when they are damaged.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You hear very soft footsteps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice Anarquendi moving stealthily into the area&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi carefully inspects his mummified moth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ribbons of smoke lazily drift from the hooded crow&#039;s feathers and coil sinuously on the air before dispersing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi feeds a smoke-swirled hooded crow a bite of his mummified moth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You remove a sea blue and green-striped roly poly from in your charmeuse mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You show Anarquendi your green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi grins at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We used to take more pride in our roads.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You listen carefully to Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Why settle for less than that?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Aylysha gives Lady&#039;s Anduin&#039;s a hair a  quick check for unwanted  items.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gratefully say, &amp;quot;Thank you, dear.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi whispers, &amp;quot;Be careful not to get too close to Aharil, his cloak will snatch up your little roly poly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Your welcome.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil leans in toward the cloak, his pointed ears raised ever so slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A raven black spider-shaped clasp crawls up to Aharil&#039;s ear for a moment before returning to his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shudders.&lt;br /&gt;
A sourceless breeze ruffles the hooded crow&#039;s feathers, scattering smoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana realizes that Vanathys is probably a bit unhinged given his evening of murdering brigands and she loves to see him unrestrained. This doesn&#039;t bode well for Qalinor *at all*.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, you say, &amp;quot;All the way from Niima&#039;s temple at Kraken&#039;s Fall.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You tilt your green-striped roly poly side to side, making the light play off it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Interesting specimen.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio removes an ornate delicate case painted with a resplendent sun on the top from in his sturdy leather pack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio carefully examines his delicate case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Insects are not really my area of interest...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;It is fun to assume their aspects though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You offer your green-striped roly poly to Vanathys, who has 30 seconds to accept the offer.  Click CANCEL to prematurely cancel the offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys has accepted your offer and is now holding a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes thoughtfully at his green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just marched off to the east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi scratches his chin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Although I guess spiders aren&#039;t inspects.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi makes a nearly imperceptible motion while whispering a soft phrase...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Given the coloring, it is hard to imagine it is not blessed by the Wavedancer herself. It looks like the color of the ocean.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
Gold-traced pale green ribbons of energy swirl about and coalesce upon Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dull black sheen forms over Anarquendi&#039;s eyes, accompanied by numerous spindly fibers sprouting from his limbs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A peak tiger butts up against Aharil, whiskers twitching as she blinks up at him trustingly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It is a rather unusual color for its type.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys offers you a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.  Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it.  The offer will expire in 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You accept Vanathys&#039;s offer and are now holding a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wind picks up, causing a weathervane to creak as it adjusts to its new heading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod in agreement at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;All the ones in my garden are just regular grey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys amusedly adds, &amp;quot;Sometimes a light grey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I cannot decide if I want to put its likeness on a hat for Lady Bayvel&#039;s Rolton Racing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;When is that this year?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You lament, &amp;quot;Not until later, in the spring.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You put a sea blue and green-striped roly poly in your charmeuse mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Perhaps I&#039;ll take Oirisu...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;I fear the hour has gone late, I must retire for the evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods at Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Though, she will make me wear a horrible hat, won&#039;t she?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hand lowered, Aylysha gives you a subtle wave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Perhaps you should take her instead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You wish, &amp;quot;Rest well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you ask, &amp;quot;I most certainly could but then you would miss the grounds of Veythorne. I imagine you and the lord are somewhat well known to each other given your common interests?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;Unfortunately I think Krystalena and I need to head home for the evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods at Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Oh, it is getting rather late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You agree, &amp;quot;The hour has grown late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves to Krystalena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We may have had more than one chat in the past.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes up into the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi agrees with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hooded crow cocks her head to one side, the feathers of her hood briefly lifting into a spiky brush.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;Have a good night everyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves to Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Oh, yes. It has. I should head back to the... well, I should go make sure that my guest hasn&#039;t had to throw fans at anyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi begins chuckling at Vanathys!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I should check to see if Lord Anduin has taken a break from his guiding the fleet.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus&#039;s group just went west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;He&#039;s been relentless since last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You stand back up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi joins Aharil&#039;s group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I have not slept much.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aharil, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Tomorrow we should check out the Toadwart and the Weald...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Aharil says, &amp;quot;Why? It&#039;s already been searched.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shrugs at Aharil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking kindly to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;Indeed, and not for the common reasons, hrm? Give my regards to your very empty household.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil says, &amp;quot;Have a nice evening everyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You perform a bow characteristic of the Nalfein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi hums distractedly to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil&#039;s group just went west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I am too tired to offer a witty retort.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;A victory, is a victory.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana is very Nalfein that way.&lt;br /&gt;

:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Madisynne says, &amp;quot;And sit down.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Orssus asks, &amp;quot;Are you a cobalt viper?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Tylanthriel asks, &amp;quot;What is here in the Toadwort?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Stavio whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Now to find out the map leads too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Krystalena says, &amp;quot;But you&#039;re going to have to help us a little.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Teveriel suggests, &amp;quot;Haul them in. Spending a few nights in the Oubliette ought to loosen their tongue.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Teveriel glances appraisingly at a masked ebon-clad freebooter.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Tylanthriel, a masked ebon-clad freebooter says, &amp;quot;Ya a twit or something? I said nuthin&#039;.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

:Krystalena stands up.&lt;br /&gt;
:Orssus says, &amp;quot;Would be difficult sailing in here.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Uniana whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Twit,&amp;quot; reminding of earlier, &amp;quot;from the crooked essess.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking accusingly to you, a masked ebon-clad freebooter spits, &amp;quot;Why&#039;re so many of y&#039;headed this way?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Stavio whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Maybe twit is a name of ashop being built.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You smile at the freebooter.&lt;br /&gt;
:Uniana breathes in slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking evenly to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Teveriel says, &amp;quot;Because we didn&#039;t get the answers we sought from your friends, and :now they litter the Neartofar&#039;s floor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:A masked ebon-clad freebooter says, &amp;quot;Seems like there&#039;s just one-uv me an&#039; a whole bunch of you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Tylanthriel says, &amp;quot;We were following the trail you and your friends left.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:A masked ebon-clad freebooter dazedly remarks, &amp;quot;Two of some-a ya.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, you say, &amp;quot;It isn&#039;t our fault you made a mistake and separated from the rabble.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Tylanthriel says, &amp;quot;That is correct. So it would be smart to answer truthfully.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna nods.&lt;br /&gt;
:A masked ebon-clad freebooter squints at Teveriel.&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Perhaps some of us should back off.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Xavanna says, &amp;quot;Especially since I can make the inside of your head become the outside with :a single note.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Uniana whispers to the group, &amp;quot;Can we get him some rose-marrow?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Tylanthriel, a masked ebon-clad freebooter laughs, &amp;quot;Pirates ain&#039;t got any friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You press the copper latch on your leather herb kit and it springs open, exposing the waxed linen lining within.&lt;br /&gt;
:You retrieve a squat glass tincture of effervescent rose-marrow from within your leather herb kit.&lt;br /&gt;
:Tylanthriel smirks.&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena murmurs a simple, mystical chant...&lt;br /&gt;
:You carefully place a squat glass tincture of effervescent rose-marrow on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena calls upon the local spirits to aid her in retrieving an herb...&lt;br /&gt;
:Some ephlox moss suddenly appears at your feet.&lt;br /&gt;
:You nod to the ebon-clad freebooter.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, you say, &amp;quot;For your head.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena just edged a little closer to some ephlox moss!&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena says, &amp;quot;For your broken arm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Tylanthriel says, &amp;quot;Excuse me, I forget I have to spell things out to you. Friends was used :loosely. Those you work with.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:A masked ebon-clad freebooter asks, &amp;quot;Y&#039;can&#039;t trust no one. Y&#039;start trustin&#039; people an&#039; they&#039;re always gonna let y&#039;down, y&#039;know what I :mean?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Stavio says, &amp;quot;So true.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena murmurs a simple, mystical chant...&lt;br /&gt;
:You let out a long, contemplative breath.&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena calls upon the local spirits to aid her in retrieving an herb...&lt;br /&gt;
:Some aloeas stem suddenly appears at your feet.&lt;br /&gt;
:You fold your hands behind your back, waiting patiently.&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena says, &amp;quot;For your neck.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Tylanthriel says, &amp;quot;Unless you find folks who have the same goals as you do.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Tylanthriel says, &amp;quot;Then you have a reason to work together.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:A masked ebon-clad freebooter says, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t need yer help. Prob&#039;ly all poisoned or somethin&#039; or filled with some-a that tell-the-truth :stuff.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena rubs her chin thoughtfully.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, you say, &amp;quot;Sir, on the life of my fox I would never poison a soul.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Tylanthriel, a masked ebon-clad freebooter says, &amp;quot;Workin&#039; together ain&#039;t th&#039;same as trustin&#039; people, y&#039;know.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Stavio chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
:Orssus asks, &amp;quot;They make that?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Tylanthriel asks, &amp;quot;Did I say that?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Uniana glances to her left.&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m afraid I don&#039;t know how to summon tainted herbs.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Teveriel dryly says, &amp;quot;If only.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Tylanthriel, a masked ebon-clad freebooter asks, &amp;quot;Y&#039;don&#039;t trust me anyway s&#039;what&#039;s s&#039;matter what I say, anyway?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Stavio deftly twirls his veil iron flamberge around his finger and stuffs it in his lacquered scabbard.  Fancy!&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena says, &amp;quot;That would like require a sorcerer.  I&#039;m just a little empath.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:The mirror images surrounding Xavanna undulate and grow stronger.&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna renews her songs.&lt;br /&gt;
:You discreetly remove a beady-eyed white ora giantman statuette from your leather musette.&lt;br /&gt;
:Stavio removes a large ebon box from in his sturdy leather pack.&lt;br /&gt;
:You rub a beady-eyed white ora giantman statuette in your hand.&lt;br /&gt;
:A sense of peace and calm resettles over the area.&lt;br /&gt;
:Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Tylanthriel says, &amp;quot;If you give us information that makes sense you might make it out of this :place still breathing, that is why.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:The ebon-clad freebooter drops a polished black shield.&lt;br /&gt;

:A masked ebon-clad freebooter takes a drink from its tincture of rose-marrow.&lt;br /&gt;

:Tylanthriel removes a sephwir composite bow from in his shoulder quiver.&lt;br /&gt;
:Stavio removes a large ebon box from in his sturdy leather pack.&lt;br /&gt;
:Stavio put a large ebon box in his sturdy leather pack.&lt;br /&gt;
:You retrieve a squat glass tincture of effervescent rose-marrow from within your leather herb kit.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Tylanthriel, a masked ebon-clad freebooter says, &amp;quot;Rather be dead than in jail.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Tylanthriel says, &amp;quot;You might gain a few more holes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You carefully place a squat glass tincture of effervescent rose-marrow on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Aloeas stem first.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You nod.&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena says, &amp;quot;You&#039;re too hurt for the rose-marrow.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You say, &amp;quot;Stem first.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:A masked ebon-clad freebooter snatches up some aloeas stem.&lt;br /&gt;
:A masked ebon-clad freebooter bites some aloeas stem.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Tylanthriel asks, &amp;quot;So this information is worth dying for then?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Stavio says, &amp;quot;Here one last drink before hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Tylanthriel, a masked ebon-clad freebooter says, &amp;quot;Not bein&#039; in prison is worth dyin&#039; for.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:The ebon-clad freebooter drops some aloeas stem.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Tylanthriel asks, &amp;quot;You refuse to help us?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Orssus says, &amp;quot;Well, if you&#039;d rather be dead, that can come so quick you don&#039;t even realize it, :or can be very slow and drawn out.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Tylanthriel, a masked ebon-clad freebooter laughs, &amp;quot;Why would I help ya?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:A masked ebon-clad freebooter says, &amp;quot;Yer just gonna kill me or imprison me anyway.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna asks, &amp;quot;Perhaps I should sing him to sleep and let him wake up in the oubliette?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Tylanthriel says, &amp;quot;I guess you should not. You would rather die, we can at least help you with :that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:A masked ebon-clad freebooter says, &amp;quot;Buncha crimson and gold-clad holier-than-thou....&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:A masked ebon-clad freebooter mutters to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
:You cock your head at a masked ebon-clad freebooter.&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna says, &amp;quot;I am sure the Legionnaire Captain has good ideas about getting information.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Teveriel evenly says, &amp;quot;The oubliette is an idea worth revisiting.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Orssus nods at Xavanna.&lt;br /&gt;
:You nod in agreement at Teveriel.&lt;br /&gt;
:Tylanthriel put a sephwir composite bow in his shoulder quiver.&lt;br /&gt;
:Tylanthriel slowly empties his lungs.&lt;br /&gt;
:Orssus says, &amp;quot;I think if he would rather be dead, we should make sure that doesn&#039;t happen.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:A masked ebon-clad freebooter asks, &amp;quot;S&#039;an oubliette? One-a your fancy balls?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Orssus says, &amp;quot;Prison is good.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Tylanthriel says, &amp;quot;Far be it from me to give you what you want.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Tylanthriel smirks.&lt;br /&gt;
:Uniana appears to be struggling to keep a straight face.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Xavanna says, &amp;quot;Worse than prison.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena says, &amp;quot;We are not heathens who torture people.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Krystalena, a masked ebon-clad freebooter repeats, &amp;quot;Holier-than-thou.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Tylanthriel asks, &amp;quot;Who has bindings?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna changes her tune, adding a new element to her song...&lt;br /&gt;
:Stavio takes a drink from his of aged whiskey.&lt;br /&gt;
:Stavio says, &amp;quot;Good.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna says, &amp;quot;Lower the sanctuary, if you would. I can then make him sleep.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Stavio put a mug of aged whiskey in his sturdy leather pack.&lt;br /&gt;
:With a moment&#039;s concentration, you terminate the Minor Sanctuary spell.&lt;br /&gt;
:The sense of peace and security begins to wane from the area.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to a masked ebon-clad freebooter, Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Nah, why would we want to torture you?  Torture has been proven not to :work.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena says, &amp;quot;You&#039;d say anything to make it end.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:The sense of peace and security passes away from the area.&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna skillfully weaves another verse into her harmony, directing the sound of her voice at a masked ebon-clad freebooter.&lt;br /&gt;
:The ebon-clad freebooter slips into a deep slumber.&lt;br /&gt;
:Orssus says, &amp;quot;Don&#039;t have any shackles on me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna says, &amp;quot;He should be easy to haul around now.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna nods.&lt;br /&gt;
:Uniana disappointedly says, &amp;quot;We did not even ask his name.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Uniana says, &amp;quot;We did not even ask his name.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Uniana, Xavanna asks, &amp;quot;Would it matter?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena agrees with Uniana.&lt;br /&gt;
:You say, &amp;quot;It might if we run into his associates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Uniana shoots Xavanna the smallest of dismayed glances, conveying her disapproval.&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna shrugs.&lt;br /&gt;
:Tylanthriel says, &amp;quot;He was not giving us any information.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna says, &amp;quot;Exactly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You shrug.&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna says, &amp;quot;I figured we should leave it to the Captain. She will know what to do.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Orssus says, &amp;quot;Might as well be named Shark bait.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Stavio says, &amp;quot;We can just loot his body for clues.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena asks, &amp;quot;&#039;can we drag him to the fortress?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Uniana heartbrokenly says, &amp;quot;I cannot believe I am hearing this.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna says, &amp;quot;Certainly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You ask, &amp;quot;Perhaps alter the guards?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Uniana nods in agreement to you.&lt;br /&gt;
:You say, &amp;quot;Have them come and take him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You say, &amp;quot;Alert that is.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna says, &amp;quot;That is an excellent idea.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You say, &amp;quot;They&#039;ll have shackles.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You frown at a masked ebon-clad freebooter.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Stavio, Teveriel says, &amp;quot;You are a Squire Legionnaire of the Crimson Legion, not a common thug.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Uniana, Orssus asks, &amp;quot;Hearing what?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Teveriel evenly says, &amp;quot;Hopefully one of your superiors will remind you of that. I should not have to.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Uniana whispers something to Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Teveriel, Stavio says, &amp;quot;Dont tell me what or whom I am i know whom I be and can do.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Krystalena says, &amp;quot;We should have been able to handle this better.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Uniana gazes up into the heavens.&lt;br /&gt;
:Orssus says, &amp;quot;He&#039;s still alive.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Orssus glances at a masked ebon-clad freebooter.&lt;br /&gt;
:You say, &amp;quot;I think perhaps if he does have anything they will search him before throwing him into a cell.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Tylanthriel nods.&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna nods.&lt;br /&gt;
:You say, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll go and alert the guard.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to you, Xavanna says, &amp;quot;Quite so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You smile.&lt;br /&gt;
:Tylanthriel says, &amp;quot;Let us leave the rest to the Legion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Going to the Gate Guards&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You curtsy to Sehdrenis.  He bows slightly before you.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Guardsman Sehdrenis, you ask, &amp;quot;There is a bandit we caught in the woods who recently attacked us... he is in the toadwort, :could you see to him?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Guardsman Sehdrenis, you say, &amp;quot;Several legionnaires have him pinned down...but we have no shackles.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You smile at Sehdrenis.  He offers a smile in return.&lt;br /&gt;
:Guardsman Sehdrenis says, &amp;quot;Oh. Uh, you caught a captive? Yes, let me send someone immediately.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Guardsman Sehdrenis, you say, &amp;quot;Thank you so much, sir.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You curtsy to Sehdrenis.  He bows slightly before you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;returning back to the group&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[The Toadwort, Grasping Mire - 10512] (u14007019)&lt;br /&gt;
:As one of the moons pokes its face through the clouds, a dozen bald cypress trees encircling an ancient burial ground come into view.  A :multitude of stone caskets are scattered around the cemetery.  None of the stone caskets bears any marking to tell the tale of its :occupant.  Some of the tombs lay wide open, as their covers have broken down to nothing more than dust and pebbles over the years.  :You also see some aloeas stem, a squat glass tincture of rose-marrow, a polished black shield, some ephlox moss, the smooth invar :Madisynne disk, the Tylanthriel disk, the Xavanna disk, the Taedon disk, the translucent Rulli disk, a downtrodden bog spirit that is flying :around, a black fox that is sitting, a smoke-swirled hooded crow that is flying around, a masked ebon-clad freebooter that is sleeping, a :leather breastplate and a handaxe.&lt;br /&gt;
:Also here: Squire Legionnaire Stavio, Madisynne, Lord Teveriel, Legionnaire Krystalena, Lady Uniana, Legionnaire Rulli, Xavanna, Taedon, :Orssus, Legionnaire Tylanthriel&lt;br /&gt;
:Obvious paths: northeast, west&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Teveriel, Uniana asks, &amp;quot;Shall we depart this lurid scene?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You say, &amp;quot;They are on their way.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Teveriel says, &amp;quot;Some time stewing in a cell.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Tylanthriel nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
:Xavanna smiles at you.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to you, Tylanthriel says, &amp;quot;Thank you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:You incline your head.&lt;br /&gt;
:A pair of guards trudge through the swampy earth.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Xavanna, Madisynne says, &amp;quot;I think you are right about having one person doing the questioning.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:A masked ebon-clad freebooter snores quietly in its sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Uniana, Teveriel says, &amp;quot;It would seem there&#039;s little else to do.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Madisynne, Xavanna says, &amp;quot;Thank you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Orssus says, &amp;quot;Remember the last time we tried to take a prisoner and bring him back to the keep.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:A masked ebon-clad freebooter snores quietly in its sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
:Orssus says, &amp;quot;The cobalt vipers assassinated him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:Tylanthriel nods at Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
:Madisynne says, &amp;quot;Follow quicly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
:The guards cast each other looks of amusement and then haul the sleeping freebooter up between the two of them, disappearing back :into the Toadwort with him.&lt;br /&gt;
:(Teveriel offers the guards a polite, if curt, nod.)&lt;br /&gt;
:Speaking to Orssus, Tylanthriel says, &amp;quot;That is always a possibility.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This log is from Ta&#039;Vaalor on 01-21-2024 from the viewpoint of [[Uniana (prime)|Uniana]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ambients prior to Vanathys&#039; arrival)&lt;br /&gt;
:A pair of well-dressed elven ladies converse beneath some maple trees.  &amp;quot;I heard he&#039;s reluctant until all this business with that boy and Ardtin is resolved,&amp;quot; the taller one says.  After an understanding nod, the other adds grimly, &amp;quot;Hopefully the former isn&#039;t inadvertently our fault.  I&#039;d hate for that to complicate things.&amp;quot;  The pair glances around and then lowers the rest of the conversation into hushed whispers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A bandon of soldiers marches west in pairs.  Snippets of quiet chatter sound above the rhythmic pounding of their boots on the cobblestones.  &amp;quot;--scouts to the south ran into a couple.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;--socks are going to be wet for days from--&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;--no answers yet from the one they--&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Botanist Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
:He appears to be a Vaalor Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is taller than average and has a lean, athletic physique.  He appears to have come of age.  He has darkly lined, almond-shaped indigo eyes and golden bronze skin.  He has long, sun-kissed sandy blonde hair twisted into a loose, disheveled bun, with wavy strands escaping to frame his face.  He has a gently angled face, a slim, upturned nose and a well-defined jawline.  A pair of small scars cuts through the pale arch of his right eyebrow.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is wearing a neutral plaid scarf looped about his neck, a vine-carved sephwir longbow slung over his shoulder, a flora-branded myrtle suede back quiver with crossed chest straps, a hip-length taupe suede jacket laced to the elbows, a sage vicuna tunic with a central panel of foliated brocade, a rectangular brushed nubuck kit, a slim pair of chocolate leather pants riveted in ivory roses, and some cire leather boots lightly caked in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You respectfully greet, &amp;quot;Good evening, Vanathys.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys greets, &amp;quot;Good evening, Lady Anduin.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Good eve.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krystalena smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking respectfully to Krystalena, Vanathys greets, &amp;quot;Legionnaire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You cheerfully observe, &amp;quot;You&#039;ve been hunting!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Aylysha&#039;s group just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys dryly remarks, &amp;quot;Not sure I would call it hunting.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You suggest, &amp;quot;Sporting? Birding?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods to Vanathys in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Krystalena, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;There we go.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Guarding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You curiously repeat, &amp;quot;Guarding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze with interest at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Mm. Some unwanted visitors yesterday.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;True.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We did check the darkwoode area, and the area with the bobcats as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You worriedly ask, &amp;quot;Did they bother the shop?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;I would think not, that guard in the shop should deter most pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Not the shop. They wandered onto my... ah, property. And from what Prisys has told me, into the compound.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You frown at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You quickly ask, &amp;quot;That&#039;s awful, is everyone alright?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys adds, &amp;quot;Not sure where they thought they were going, but it was certainly a wrong turn from my point of view.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;That is odd.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana glances at the longbow over Vanathys&#039;s shoulder.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The report was of some pirates being seen wandering around reading from a map.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I am sure they realized it was the wrong turn from their point of view too late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m not sure they had time to realize they made a wrong turn.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys quirks a half-smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Does your property connect to the swamp lands of the Toadwort at all?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys looks over at Laermeluion and shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s were they were tracked to last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m a bit further east and on the north side of the road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice Anarquendi moving stealthily into the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Would that be south of the weald?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;They could have been very lost, either the ones we found or the ones found about Vanathys&#039; property.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Some people just don&#039;t know how to read maps.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Somewhere to that effect.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;If they were meant to be going to the Toadwort, then they were rather lost.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I believe Legionnaire Tylanthriel mentioned seeing pirate on Aradhul road though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Or that might have just been peculiar bandits.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances northeast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys curiously asks, &amp;quot;Really?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha asks, &amp;quot;Would it possible to see where these Pirates fell?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;So it is possible there are bandits and pirates roaming all over the lands.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;He was patrolling and found them wandering.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;With so much trade from Mistwatch it is not surprising that they might even blend in among the traders and crews.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;d rather not have visitors, and they are... disposed of anyway.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I would say they were scouting for a new location to set up camp.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You think to yourself, &amp;quot;Fertilizer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But I&#039;m not sure if that makes sense with a map in hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(OOC) Vanathys&#039;s player whispers, &amp;quot;LOL.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Unless they are using the map to chart the areas in detail.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seem just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seem walks over to the bench and settles down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;When I heard the calls yesterday it sounded like they had a specific destination in mind. And then Lady Akenna saw one with a map.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[Ta&#039;Vaalor, King&#039;s Court - 3519] (u14100047)&lt;br /&gt;
:Maple trees line the edges of the court, filtering the moonlight cast over the orderly cobblestones.  Several elven guards stand beside a lasimor-framed board, chatting quietly amongst themselves as they scan the gathered crowds.  Darkly stained wooden benches, spaced between gilded pots of dragonstalks, provide a chance for a brief respite from the bustle of the city.  You also see the Seem disk, a sleek golden ferret that is lying down, a blue wolf, a peak tiger, a pile of freshly fallen snow and a wooden barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
:Also here: Seem who is sitting, Orssus, Squire Legionnaire Aylysha, Botanist Vanathys, Legionnaire Krystalena, First Legionnaire Laermeluion&lt;br /&gt;
:Obvious paths: north, east, south, west&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It would seem this isn&#039;t as isolated of an incident as we were hoping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you ask, &amp;quot;The compound is on guard now as well?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Though it was a bit odd that a couple of sea-faring types were so deep in the woods, on both counts.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;When the pirates first appeared; weren&#039;t they, and the Cobalt Vipers, trying to find something?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys assures, &amp;quot;They did not get far.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You let out a sigh of relief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;You do not want to be on the wrong end of a Greengair trap.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The pirates first appeared as a means to distract from the cobalt vipers I believe.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The pirates were cooperating to potentially smuggle goods off shore that the bandits stole from the merchants arriving in Mistwatch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;You destroyed the Cobalt Vipers though, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Hopefully those little gnomes that stayed with me will be able to cause enough trouble...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You glance over your shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You unsuccessfully try to stifle your grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes up into the heavens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We destroyed the camp we founds, and killed their leader.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;The leader of the Cobalt Vipers was killed, but who knows if another bandit took their place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;If I get hit with one more tornado of leaves, I will personally hunt you down, Watcher.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;There was a pirate captain present, but they got away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But there was word of three Captains if I remember correctly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;I claim no responsibility for their actions.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, perhaps the pirates are picking up where the bandits left off, if they were in league with them, as you all say.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys allows, &amp;quot;Or it&#039;s entirely unrelated.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Off the top of my head Cooper was the name of the pirate captain we encountered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;&#039;or was it Copper?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You muse, &amp;quot;Terrible name for a pirate captain.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;It was mentioned the pirates were masked.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But they weren&#039;t wearing the cobalt viper colors.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods in agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Did you get a good look at the clothe the pirates that tresspassed on your property were wearing?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You cock your head at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The ones encountered last night were wearing black.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;No cobalt, if that&#039;s your question.  I went through their things, but there was nothing of note.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I wonder if we are seeing potential recruits to this new outfit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Maybe prospects are given a vague map and if they make it there, they are allow to join.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;They just simply seemed... Ah, I don&#039;t know. Out of place?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s most pirates on dry land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Not very good in the woods. I could hear them coming from quite a distance.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Orssus says, &amp;quot;Seen Krol pirates all the way up in the mountains before.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;They certainly did not seem inclined to be stealthy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil suddenly fades into view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;They seemed to be recruiting a few months ago as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;You said you tracked them into the Toadwort? They may not be stealthy, but they know how to lose a trail. Or it was sheer luck.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Have there been any further reports of merchants being harassed?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;Forgive me if it has been mentioned, but we came a little late. There was mention of a map, was that ever recovered?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The search party last night say tracks toward the toadwort, Squire Legionnnaire Stavio encountered a few pirates in the swamp of the Toadwort.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You look at Anarquendi and shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It&#039;s very difficult to track through water and swamps.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But by the time the captive was taken into custody and I was able to join Legionnaire Tylanthriel and Krystalena to search the area it was all too much of a soupy mess out there.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the hooded crow bobs her head and lets out a series of percussive, two-toned chirps, threads of smoke drift from her open beak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi works his fingers under his sephwir circlet and scratches his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly to the hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It throws off the scent if you&#039;re using tracking animals, and the terrain reforms quickly or fills with water when it&#039;s disturbed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A peak tiger blinks impassively and lets out a raspy utterance of hunger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Anarquendi scratches the peak tiger behind the ears, the feline tilts her head into Anarquendi&#039;s hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;And there&#039;s a bunch of frenetic goblins out there doing all manner of chaos.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It&#039;d be difficult to tell what way they went.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha agrees with Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;It seems they have gone well beyond simply bothering merchants, that much can be assumed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I mean, there&#039;s still some harassing happening at the port, from what the guards at the shop tell me, but that&#039;s been going on for months now.  I&#039;ve not seen much activity on Neartofar Road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Most of the harassing I imagine is coming from the riots.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t think that&#039;s always the case.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Oh, captives were mentioned as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Legionnaire Tylanthriel said something about seeing captives last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lowering her head, a smoke-swirled hooded crow rocks her body and caws three times in succession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But I&#039;m not sure of the details of that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana is beginning to wonder if this is giving Illistim a case not to want to treaty with House Vaalor.  It comes off as very messy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I know we saw someone being pushed aboard a ship a few weeks ago.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Drunk urging or against their will?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at a smoke-swirled hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys pets a smoke-swirled hooded crow, which nuzzles his hand softly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;That was when the handkerchief was found, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Looked like a young male elf, malnourished could be how you might describe him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;And he was being partially dragged aboard as the pirates fled our defense of Mistwatch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha blinks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, I&#039;ve dragged people off before because they were too slow.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you explain, &amp;quot;It was quite hard to see, it was dark and they were far away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We found the torn gentian blue silk handkerchief with the letter G embroidered on it at the end of that same pier.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys mutters, &amp;quot;I hope I do not regret buying a shop in that port.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you reassure, &amp;quot;The Gilded Talon has a business office in the port. They have never had any trouble.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Orssus asks, &amp;quot;Do you think Ta&#039;Vaalor should try and negotiate ownership of the port?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys casts a quick glance toward the keep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Orssus, you say, &amp;quot;There is a lot of freedom in keeping the port privately owned.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking carefully to Orssus, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t think it should have been allowed to be built under private ownership in the first place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana was trying to be diplomatic. She isn&#039;t sure Vanathys&#039; feelings about Qalinor, even given his closeness with Oirisu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;That would certainaly would make things easier.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking amusedly to you, Vanathys remarks, &amp;quot;Freedom for who, though?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;If the port was owned by Ta&#039;Vaalor there would likely not be the pirate problem currently.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;For the crews and companies who do business there. For the government, who can levy taxes against the private industry and take little to no responsibility for the problems.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Freedom for the pirates of the seas, too, it would seem.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Even still, one can&#039;t just go around taking other people&#039;s things like a child plucking a toy out of another&#039;s hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Yes there  needs to be rules.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;The Sea of Mists must be one of the most dangerous due to the protection of the Gilded Talon, at times the Sentinel Fleet and not to mention getting through Nalfein&#039;s naval presence to the south, and including the natural defenses of the fog and low banks. There has to be something greater than simple piracy at hand. They would have a much easier time with some of the less guarded outposts, even if the plunder is not as grand. They would at least likely leave with lives intact.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The issue is the port doesn&#039;t have the means to currently defend themselves effectively.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana strokes the tip of her origami thorn thoughtfully along her jaw.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko asks, &amp;quot;Party?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys allows, &amp;quot;They do seem rather persistent, considering the consequences continually inflicted upon them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Hucko drops his sonic tiger-claw, it hovers in mid-air and gently bobs up and down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Not realy a party.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking kindly to Hucko, you explain, &amp;quot;We are discussing the presence and persistence of pirates as of late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko says, &amp;quot;Its pretty crowded.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Just a tad.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I do not mean to disparage the efforts of the Gilded Talon, of course. I imagine it would be worse without it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You look at Vanathys and shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;But the First Legionnaire is likely right. The port does not have the means to defend itself effectively.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi reaches over and leans a hand on the peak tiger&#039;s back, rubbing her gently.  The peak tiger looks toward him and purrs in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you reassure, &amp;quot;Not at all, you and the First Legionnaire are right. My lord husband agrees. I believe he means to send a proposal to the keep regarding his suggestions of safety measures.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just came marching in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods to Stavio in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio and Anarquendi clasp forearms in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio gazes in wonder at his surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I wonder how much of it is our responsibility, though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;But even still, all of that requires funding and ---yes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You pleasantly quip, &amp;quot;The freedoms of a private port.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko just went east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I return to that it should never have been allowed in the first place. Now resolving the issues is more complicated, I imagine.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A pair of young reservists walk by, their hands resting on their swords with pride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I generally stay out of politics, but I would prefer I did not have pirates stumbling onto my property.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;Any intervention will mean more than just that of the port itself too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You disapprovingly murmur, &amp;quot;That road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys agrees, &amp;quot;I have been complaining about the road for years.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You tilt your head up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just marched off to the south.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking gently to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;I hope your household was none too bothered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys admits, &amp;quot;Not much of a household to speak of, in truth. I don&#039;t like all the...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha glances at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Clutter.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi appears to be trying hard not to grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I was going to say bother, but I don&#039;t like that either.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A unit of Vaalorian soldiers, resplendent in their crimson and gold armor, marches through at a rapid pace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You curiously ask, &amp;quot;No guests to worry about then?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You swap your origami thorn from your left to your right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys smirks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana uses the tip of her nails to adjust the point of her origami thorn.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;No one was bothered. The intruders were dispatched of quickly enough.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;All roads have issues.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze up into the sky and see stars sparkling in the darkness...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve stars form a faint but jagged pattern in the skies, the vague outline of a six-talon claw barely visible in the inky darkness of the night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil cleans his spidersilk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a mummified cricket off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped grasshopper off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped beetle off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a dried fly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a mummified moth off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a dried cricket off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil dusts himself off.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil drops a silk-wrapped butterfly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi glances at Aharil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion glances down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shakes his head, clucking his tongue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys pointedly says, &amp;quot;We didn&#039;t used to have issues.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Thats alot of bugs.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana notes which side of the Sovereign debate Vanathys&#039; bread is buttered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi whispers something to Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A complete and utter feeling of smugness envelops you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We&#039;ve too many roads in disrepair.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Only in dire straits would I eat those.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You diplomatically ask, &amp;quot;Running on a platform of trade should mean an increase in state coffers, shouldn&#039;t it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha asks, &amp;quot;How would you pay to maintain the roads?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, I stay out of politics, but I would imagine so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys replies, &amp;quot;We are not exactly hurting economically.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You think to yourself, &amp;quot;You mean ceasing trade with the shanty halfling gambling town didn&#039;t financially ruin an elven City-State? I for one am *shocked*.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi glances down.&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures while summoning the spirits of nature to his aid...&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
A strong breeze suddenly picks up and begins to blow around in different directions through the area!&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped butterfly is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped butterfly is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi dusts off his hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A strong breeze continues to swirl through the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dried cricket is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown north!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just came marching in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio checks his equipment, adjusting and rearranging his gear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Nothing to do with the children&#039;s behavior, you said?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped beetle is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi makes a simple gesture, and the strong breeze stops as suddenly as it arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Critters flying everywhere.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Just because I showed them out to do something, doesn&#039;t mean I can control WHEN they do it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi rocks back on his heels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hooded crow ruffles her feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, you warn, &amp;quot;If one of those ends up in my hair.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi picks up a silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You narrow your eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi offers you a silk-wrapped grasshopper.  Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it.  The offer will expire in 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi flashes a wide grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You feel the blood drain from your face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;It&#039;s probably dead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You accept Anarquendi&#039;s offer and are now holding a silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You swap a pristine blush rose origami thorn to your left hand and a silk-wrapped grasshopper to your right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You feed your hooded crow a bite of your silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
Roundtime: 3 sec.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod to the hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Yes but  wagons, carts and mounts   damage  roads.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys laughs, &amp;quot;It is amazing they still let you in the gates.  Or do you have to sneak in?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
s&amp;gt;feed crow&lt;br /&gt;
You feed your hooded crow the last of your silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
Roundtime: 3 sec.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Elven to Laermeluion, Stavio says, &amp;quot;When you search toadwort did you see the shed , it could be someone held or hiding in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods at Stavio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I noticed it the other night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;On occasion I have been... encouraged to not come inside.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;It looks ramshackled and destroyed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;But most of the time it was mostly suggestion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Aharil says, &amp;quot;Most of the time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys plucks a silk-wrapped bug out of one of the pots of dragonstalks, then pinches a couple of dead buds off the plant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Roads can have regular repairs done to them when they are damaged.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You hear very soft footsteps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice Anarquendi moving stealthily into the area&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi carefully inspects his mummified moth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ribbons of smoke lazily drift from the hooded crow&#039;s feathers and coil sinuously on the air before dispersing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi feeds a smoke-swirled hooded crow a bite of his mummified moth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You remove a sea blue and green-striped roly poly from in your charmeuse mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You show Anarquendi your green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi grins at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We used to take more pride in our roads.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You listen carefully to Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Why settle for less than that?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Aylysha gives Lady&#039;s Anduin&#039;s a hair a  quick check for unwanted  items.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gratefully say, &amp;quot;Thank you, dear.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi whispers, &amp;quot;Be careful not to get too close to Aharil, his cloak will snatch up your little roly poly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Your welcome.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil leans in toward the cloak, his pointed ears raised ever so slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A raven black spider-shaped clasp crawls up to Aharil&#039;s ear for a moment before returning to his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shudders.&lt;br /&gt;
A sourceless breeze ruffles the hooded crow&#039;s feathers, scattering smoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana realizes that Vanathys is probably a bit unhinged given his evening of murdering brigands and she loves to see him unrestrained. This doesn&#039;t bode well for Qalinor *at all*.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, you say, &amp;quot;All the way from Niima&#039;s temple at Kraken&#039;s Fall.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You tilt your green-striped roly poly side to side, making the light play off it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Interesting specimen.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio removes an ornate delicate case painted with a resplendent sun on the top from in his sturdy leather pack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio carefully examines his delicate case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Insects are not really my area of interest...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;It is fun to assume their aspects though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You offer your green-striped roly poly to Vanathys, who has 30 seconds to accept the offer.  Click CANCEL to prematurely cancel the offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys has accepted your offer and is now holding a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes thoughtfully at his green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just marched off to the east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi scratches his chin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Although I guess spiders aren&#039;t inspects.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi makes a nearly imperceptible motion while whispering a soft phrase...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Given the coloring, it is hard to imagine it is not blessed by the Wavedancer herself. It looks like the color of the ocean.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
Gold-traced pale green ribbons of energy swirl about and coalesce upon Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dull black sheen forms over Anarquendi&#039;s eyes, accompanied by numerous spindly fibers sprouting from his limbs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A peak tiger butts up against Aharil, whiskers twitching as she blinks up at him trustingly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It is a rather unusual color for its type.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys offers you a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.  Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it.  The offer will expire in 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You accept Vanathys&#039;s offer and are now holding a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wind picks up, causing a weathervane to creak as it adjusts to its new heading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod in agreement at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;All the ones in my garden are just regular grey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys amusedly adds, &amp;quot;Sometimes a light grey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I cannot decide if I want to put its likeness on a hat for Lady Bayvel&#039;s Rolton Racing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;When is that this year?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You lament, &amp;quot;Not until later, in the spring.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You put a sea blue and green-striped roly poly in your charmeuse mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Perhaps I&#039;ll take Oirisu...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;I fear the hour has gone late, I must retire for the evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods at Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Though, she will make me wear a horrible hat, won&#039;t she?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hand lowered, Aylysha gives you a subtle wave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Perhaps you should take her instead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You wish, &amp;quot;Rest well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you ask, &amp;quot;I most certainly could but then you would miss the grounds of Veythorne. I imagine you and the lord are somewhat well known to each other given your common interests?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;Unfortunately I think Krystalena and I need to head home for the evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods at Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Oh, it is getting rather late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You agree, &amp;quot;The hour has grown late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves to Krystalena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We may have had more than one chat in the past.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes up into the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi agrees with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hooded crow cocks her head to one side, the feathers of her hood briefly lifting into a spiky brush.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;Have a good night everyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves to Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Oh, yes. It has. I should head back to the... well, I should go make sure that my guest hasn&#039;t had to throw fans at anyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi begins chuckling at Vanathys!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I should check to see if Lord Anduin has taken a break from his guiding the fleet.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus&#039;s group just went west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;He&#039;s been relentless since last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You stand back up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi joins Aharil&#039;s group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I have not slept much.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aharil, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Tomorrow we should check out the Toadwart and the Weald...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Aharil says, &amp;quot;Why? It&#039;s already been searched.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shrugs at Aharil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking kindly to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;Indeed, and not for the common reasons, hrm? Give my regards to your very empty household.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil says, &amp;quot;Have a nice evening everyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You perform a bow characteristic of the Nalfein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi hums distractedly to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil&#039;s group just went west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I am too tired to offer a witty retort.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;A victory, is a victory.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana is very Nalfein that way.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This log is from Ta&#039;Vaalor on 01-21-2024 from the viewpoint of [[Uniana (prime)|Uniana]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ambients prior to Vanathys&#039; arrival)&lt;br /&gt;
:A pair of well-dressed elven ladies converse beneath some maple trees.  &amp;quot;I heard he&#039;s reluctant until all this business with that boy and Ardtin is resolved,&amp;quot; the taller one says.  After an understanding nod, the other adds grimly, &amp;quot;Hopefully the former isn&#039;t inadvertently our fault.  I&#039;d hate for that to complicate things.&amp;quot;  The pair glances around and then lowers the rest of the conversation into hushed whispers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A bandon of soldiers marches west in pairs.  Snippets of quiet chatter sound above the rhythmic pounding of their boots on the cobblestones.  &amp;quot;--scouts to the south ran into a couple.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;--socks are going to be wet for days from--&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;--no answers yet from the one they--&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Botanist Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
:He appears to be a Vaalor Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is taller than average and has a lean, athletic physique.  He appears to have come of age.  He has darkly lined, almond-shaped indigo eyes and golden bronze skin.  He has long, sun-kissed sandy blonde hair twisted into a loose, disheveled bun, with wavy strands escaping to frame his face.  He has a gently angled face, a slim, upturned nose and a well-defined jawline.  A pair of small scars cuts through the pale arch of his right eyebrow.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is wearing a neutral plaid scarf looped about his neck, a vine-carved sephwir longbow slung over his shoulder, a flora-branded myrtle suede back quiver with crossed chest straps, a hip-length taupe suede jacket laced to the elbows, a sage vicuna tunic with a central panel of foliated brocade, a rectangular brushed nubuck kit, a slim pair of chocolate leather pants riveted in ivory roses, and some cire leather boots lightly caked in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You respectfully greet, &amp;quot;Good evening, Vanathys.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys greets, &amp;quot;Good evening, Lady Anduin.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Good eve.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krystalena smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking respectfully to Krystalena, Vanathys greets, &amp;quot;Legionnaire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You cheerfully observe, &amp;quot;You&#039;ve been hunting!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Aylysha&#039;s group just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys dryly remarks, &amp;quot;Not sure I would call it hunting.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You suggest, &amp;quot;Sporting? Birding?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods to Vanathys in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Krystalena, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;There we go.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Guarding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You curiously repeat, &amp;quot;Guarding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze with interest at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Mm. Some unwanted visitors yesterday.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;True.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We did check the darkwoode area, and the area with the bobcats as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You worriedly ask, &amp;quot;Did they bother the shop?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;I would think not, that guard in the shop should deter most pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Not the shop. They wandered onto my... ah, property. And from what Prisys has told me, into the compound.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You frown at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You quickly ask, &amp;quot;That&#039;s awful, is everyone alright?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys adds, &amp;quot;Not sure where they thought they were going, but it was certainly a wrong turn from my point of view.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;That is odd.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana glances at the longbow over Vanathys&#039;s shoulder.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The report was of some pirates being seen wandering around reading from a map.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I am sure they realized it was the wrong turn from their point of view too late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m not sure they had time to realize they made a wrong turn.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys quirks a half-smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Does your property connect to the swamp lands of the Toadwort at all?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys looks over at Laermeluion and shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s were they were tracked to last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m a bit further east and on the north side of the road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice Anarquendi moving stealthily into the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Would that be south of the weald?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;They could have been very lost, either the ones we found or the ones found about Vanathys&#039; property.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Some people just don&#039;t know how to read maps.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Somewhere to that effect.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;If they were meant to be going to the Toadwort, then they were rather lost.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I believe Legionnaire Tylanthriel mentioned seeing pirate on Aradhul road though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Or that might have just been peculiar bandits.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances northeast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys curiously asks, &amp;quot;Really?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha asks, &amp;quot;Would it possible to see where these Pirates fell?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;So it is possible there are bandits and pirates roaming all over the lands.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;He was patrolling and found them wandering.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;With so much trade from Mistwatch it is not surprising that they might even blend in among the traders and crews.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;d rather not have visitors, and they are... disposed of anyway.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I would say they were scouting for a new location to set up camp.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You think to yourself, &amp;quot;Fertilizer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But I&#039;m not sure if that makes sense with a map in hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(OOC) Vanathys&#039;s player whispers, &amp;quot;LOL.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Unless they are using the map to chart the areas in detail.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seem just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seem walks over to the bench and settles down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;When I heard the calls yesterday it sounded like they had a specific destination in mind. And then Lady Akenna saw one with a map.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:[Ta&#039;Vaalor, King&#039;s Court - 3519] (u14100047)&lt;br /&gt;
:Maple trees line the edges of the court, filtering the moonlight cast over the orderly cobblestones.  Several elven guards stand beside a lasimor-framed board, chatting quietly amongst themselves as they scan the gathered crowds.  Darkly stained wooden benches, spaced between gilded pots of dragonstalks, provide a chance for a brief respite from the bustle of the city.  You also see the Seem disk, a sleek golden ferret that is lying down, a blue wolf, a peak tiger, a pile of freshly fallen snow and a wooden barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
:Also here: Seem who is sitting, Orssus, Squire Legionnaire Aylysha, Botanist Vanathys, Legionnaire Krystalena, First Legionnaire Laermeluion&lt;br /&gt;
:Obvious paths: north, east, south, west&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It would seem this isn&#039;t as isolated of an incident as we were hoping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you ask, &amp;quot;The compound is on guard now as well?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Though it was a bit odd that a couple of sea-faring types were so deep in the woods, on both counts.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;When the pirates first appeared; weren&#039;t they, and the Cobalt Vipers, trying to find something?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys assures, &amp;quot;They did not get far.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You let out a sigh of relief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;You do not want to be on the wrong end of a Greengair trap.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The pirates first appeared as a means to distract from the cobalt vipers I believe.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The pirates were cooperating to potentially smuggle goods off shore that the bandits stole from the merchants arriving in Mistwatch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;You destroyed the Cobalt Vipers though, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Hopefully those little gnomes that stayed with me will be able to cause enough trouble...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You glance over your shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You unsuccessfully try to stifle your grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes up into the heavens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We destroyed the camp we founds, and killed their leader.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;The leader of the Cobalt Vipers was killed, but who knows if another bandit took their place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;If I get hit with one more tornado of leaves, I will personally hunt you down, Watcher.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;There was a pirate captain present, but they got away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But there was word of three Captains if I remember correctly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;I claim no responsibility for their actions.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, perhaps the pirates are picking up where the bandits left off, if they were in league with them, as you all say.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys allows, &amp;quot;Or it&#039;s entirely unrelated.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Off the top of my head Cooper was the name of the pirate captain we encountered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;&#039;or was it Copper?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You muse, &amp;quot;Terrible name for a pirate captain.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;It was mentioned the pirates were masked.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But they weren&#039;t wearing the cobalt viper colors.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods in agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Did you get a good look at the clothe the pirates that tresspassed on your property were wearing?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You cock your head at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The ones encountered last night were wearing black.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;No cobalt, if that&#039;s your question.  I went through their things, but there was nothing of note.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I wonder if we are seeing potential recruits to this new outfit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Maybe prospects are given a vague map and if they make it there, they are allow to join.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;They just simply seemed... Ah, I don&#039;t know. Out of place?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s most pirates on dry land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Not very good in the woods. I could hear them coming from quite a distance.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Orssus says, &amp;quot;Seen Krol pirates all the way up in the mountains before.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;They certainly did not seem inclined to be stealthy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil suddenly fades into view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;They seemed to be recruiting a few months ago as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;You said you tracked them into the Toadwort? They may not be stealthy, but they know how to lose a trail. Or it was sheer luck.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Have there been any further reports of merchants being harassed?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;Forgive me if it has been mentioned, but we came a little late. There was mention of a map, was that ever recovered?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The search party last night say tracks toward the toadwort, Squire Legionnnaire Stavio encountered a few pirates in the swamp of the Toadwort.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You look at Anarquendi and shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It&#039;s very difficult to track through water and swamps.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But by the time the captive was taken into custody and I was able to join Legionnaire Tylanthriel and Krystalena to search the area it was all too much of a soupy mess out there.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the hooded crow bobs her head and lets out a series of percussive, two-toned chirps, threads of smoke drift from her open beak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi works his fingers under his sephwir circlet and scratches his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly to the hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It throws off the scent if you&#039;re using tracking animals, and the terrain reforms quickly or fills with water when it&#039;s disturbed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A peak tiger blinks impassively and lets out a raspy utterance of hunger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Anarquendi scratches the peak tiger behind the ears, the feline tilts her head into Anarquendi&#039;s hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;And there&#039;s a bunch of frenetic goblins out there doing all manner of chaos.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It&#039;d be difficult to tell what way they went.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha agrees with Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;It seems they have gone well beyond simply bothering merchants, that much can be assumed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I mean, there&#039;s still some harassing happening at the port, from what the guards at the shop tell me, but that&#039;s been going on for months now.  I&#039;ve not seen much activity on Neartofar Road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Most of the harassing I imagine is coming from the riots.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t think that&#039;s always the case.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Oh, captives were mentioned as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Legionnaire Tylanthriel said something about seeing captives last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lowering her head, a smoke-swirled hooded crow rocks her body and caws three times in succession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But I&#039;m not sure of the details of that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana is beginning to wonder if this is giving Illistim a case not to want to treaty with House Vaalor.  It comes off as very messy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I know we saw someone being pushed aboard a ship a few weeks ago.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Drunk urging or against their will?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at a smoke-swirled hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys pets a smoke-swirled hooded crow, which nuzzles his hand softly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;That was when the handkerchief was found, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Looked like a young male elf, malnourished could be how you might describe him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;And he was being partially dragged aboard as the pirates fled our defense of Mistwatch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha blinks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, I&#039;ve dragged people off before because they were too slow.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you explain, &amp;quot;It was quite hard to see, it was dark and they were far away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We found the torn gentian blue silk handkerchief with the letter G embroidered on it at the end of that same pier.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys mutters, &amp;quot;I hope I do not regret buying a shop in that port.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you reassure, &amp;quot;The Gilded Talon has a business office in the port. They have never had any trouble.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Orssus asks, &amp;quot;Do you think Ta&#039;Vaalor should try and negotiate ownership of the port?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys casts a quick glance toward the keep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Orssus, you say, &amp;quot;There is a lot of freedom in keeping the port privately owned.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking carefully to Orssus, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t think it should have been allowed to be built under private ownership in the first place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana was trying to be diplomatic. She isn&#039;t sure Vanathys&#039; feelings about Qalinor, even given his closeness with Oirisu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;That would certainaly would make things easier.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking amusedly to you, Vanathys remarks, &amp;quot;Freedom for who, though?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;If the port was owned by Ta&#039;Vaalor there would likely not be the pirate problem currently.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;For the crews and companies who do business there. For the government, who can levy taxes against the private industry and take little to no responsibility for the problems.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Freedom for the pirates of the seas, too, it would seem.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Even still, one can&#039;t just go around taking other people&#039;s things like a child plucking a toy out of another&#039;s hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Yes there  needs to be rules.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;The Sea of Mists must be one of the most dangerous due to the protection of the Gilded Talon, at times the Sentinel Fleet and not to mention getting through Nalfein&#039;s naval presence to the south, and including the natural defenses of the fog and low banks. There has to be something greater than simple piracy at hand. They would have a much easier time with some of the less guarded outposts, even if the plunder is not as grand. They would at least likely leave with lives intact.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The issue is the port doesn&#039;t have the means to currently defend themselves effectively.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana strokes the tip of her origami thorn thoughtfully along her jaw.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko asks, &amp;quot;Party?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys allows, &amp;quot;They do seem rather persistent, considering the consequences continually inflicted upon them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Hucko drops his sonic tiger-claw, it hovers in mid-air and gently bobs up and down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Not realy a party.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking kindly to Hucko, you explain, &amp;quot;We are discussing the presence and persistence of pirates as of late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko says, &amp;quot;Its pretty crowded.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Just a tad.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I do not mean to disparage the efforts of the Gilded Talon, of course. I imagine it would be worse without it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You look at Vanathys and shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;But the First Legionnaire is likely right. The port does not have the means to defend itself effectively.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi reaches over and leans a hand on the peak tiger&#039;s back, rubbing her gently.  The peak tiger looks toward him and purrs in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you reassure, &amp;quot;Not at all, you and the First Legionnaire are right. My lord husband agrees. I believe he means to send a proposal to the keep regarding his suggestions of safety measures.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just came marching in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods to Stavio in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio and Anarquendi clasp forearms in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio gazes in wonder at his surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I wonder how much of it is our responsibility, though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;But even still, all of that requires funding and ---yes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You pleasantly quip, &amp;quot;The freedoms of a private port.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko just went east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I return to that it should never have been allowed in the first place. Now resolving the issues is more complicated, I imagine.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A pair of young reservists walk by, their hands resting on their swords with pride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I generally stay out of politics, but I would prefer I did not have pirates stumbling onto my property.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;Any intervention will mean more than just that of the port itself too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You disapprovingly murmur, &amp;quot;That road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys agrees, &amp;quot;I have been complaining about the road for years.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You tilt your head up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just marched off to the south.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking gently to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;I hope your household was none too bothered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys admits, &amp;quot;Not much of a household to speak of, in truth. I don&#039;t like all the...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha glances at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Clutter.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi appears to be trying hard not to grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I was going to say bother, but I don&#039;t like that either.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A unit of Vaalorian soldiers, resplendent in their crimson and gold armor, marches through at a rapid pace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You curiously ask, &amp;quot;No guests to worry about then?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You swap your origami thorn from your left to your right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys smirks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana uses the tip of her nails to adjust the point of her origami thorn.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;No one was bothered. The intruders were dispatched of quickly enough.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;All roads have issues.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze up into the sky and see stars sparkling in the darkness...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve stars form a faint but jagged pattern in the skies, the vague outline of a six-talon claw barely visible in the inky darkness of the night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil cleans his spidersilk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a mummified cricket off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped grasshopper off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped beetle off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a dried fly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a mummified moth off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a dried cricket off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil dusts himself off.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil drops a silk-wrapped butterfly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi glances at Aharil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion glances down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shakes his head, clucking his tongue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys pointedly says, &amp;quot;We didn&#039;t used to have issues.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Thats alot of bugs.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana notes which side of the Sovereign debate Vanathys&#039; bread is buttered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi whispers something to Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A complete and utter feeling of smugness envelops you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We&#039;ve too many roads in disrepair.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Only in dire straits would I eat those.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You diplomatically ask, &amp;quot;Running on a platform of trade should mean an increase in state coffers, shouldn&#039;t it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha asks, &amp;quot;How would you pay to maintain the roads?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, I stay out of politics, but I would imagine so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys replies, &amp;quot;We are not exactly hurting economically.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You think to yourself, &amp;quot;You mean ceasing trade with the shanty halfling gambling town didn&#039;t financially ruin an elven City-State? I for one am *shocked*.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi glances down.&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures while summoning the spirits of nature to his aid...&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
A strong breeze suddenly picks up and begins to blow around in different directions through the area!&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped butterfly is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped butterfly is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi dusts off his hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A strong breeze continues to swirl through the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dried cricket is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown north!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just came marching in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio checks his equipment, adjusting and rearranging his gear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Nothing to do with the children&#039;s behavior, you said?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped beetle is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi makes a simple gesture, and the strong breeze stops as suddenly as it arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Critters flying everywhere.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Just because I showed them out to do something, doesn&#039;t mean I can control WHEN they do it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi rocks back on his heels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hooded crow ruffles her feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, you warn, &amp;quot;If one of those ends up in my hair.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi picks up a silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You narrow your eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi offers you a silk-wrapped grasshopper.  Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it.  The offer will expire in 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi flashes a wide grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You feel the blood drain from your face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;It&#039;s probably dead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You accept Anarquendi&#039;s offer and are now holding a silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You swap a pristine blush rose origami thorn to your left hand and a silk-wrapped grasshopper to your right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You feed your hooded crow a bite of your silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
Roundtime: 3 sec.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod to the hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Yes but  wagons, carts and mounts   damage  roads.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys laughs, &amp;quot;It is amazing they still let you in the gates.  Or do you have to sneak in?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
s&amp;gt;feed crow&lt;br /&gt;
You feed your hooded crow the last of your silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
Roundtime: 3 sec.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Elven to Laermeluion, Stavio says, &amp;quot;When you search toadwort did you see the shed , it could be someone held or hiding in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods at Stavio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I noticed it the other night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;On occasion I have been... encouraged to not come inside.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;It looks ramshackled and destroyed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;But most of the time it was mostly suggestion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Aharil says, &amp;quot;Most of the time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys plucks a silk-wrapped bug out of one of the pots of dragonstalks, then pinches a couple of dead buds off the plant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Roads can have regular repairs done to them when they are damaged.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You hear very soft footsteps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice Anarquendi moving stealthily into the area&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi carefully inspects his mummified moth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ribbons of smoke lazily drift from the hooded crow&#039;s feathers and coil sinuously on the air before dispersing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi feeds a smoke-swirled hooded crow a bite of his mummified moth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You remove a sea blue and green-striped roly poly from in your charmeuse mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You show Anarquendi your green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi grins at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We used to take more pride in our roads.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You listen carefully to Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Why settle for less than that?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Aylysha gives Lady&#039;s Anduin&#039;s a hair a  quick check for unwanted  items.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gratefully say, &amp;quot;Thank you, dear.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi whispers, &amp;quot;Be careful not to get too close to Aharil, his cloak will snatch up your little roly poly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Your welcome.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil leans in toward the cloak, his pointed ears raised ever so slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A raven black spider-shaped clasp crawls up to Aharil&#039;s ear for a moment before returning to his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shudders.&lt;br /&gt;
A sourceless breeze ruffles the hooded crow&#039;s feathers, scattering smoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana realizes that Vanathys is probably a bit unhinged given his evening of murdering brigands and she loves to see him unrestrained. This doesn&#039;t bode well for Qalinor *at all*.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, you say, &amp;quot;All the way from Niima&#039;s temple at Kraken&#039;s Fall.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You tilt your green-striped roly poly side to side, making the light play off it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Interesting specimen.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio removes an ornate delicate case painted with a resplendent sun on the top from in his sturdy leather pack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio carefully examines his delicate case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Insects are not really my area of interest...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;It is fun to assume their aspects though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You offer your green-striped roly poly to Vanathys, who has 30 seconds to accept the offer.  Click CANCEL to prematurely cancel the offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys has accepted your offer and is now holding a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes thoughtfully at his green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just marched off to the east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi scratches his chin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Although I guess spiders aren&#039;t inspects.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi makes a nearly imperceptible motion while whispering a soft phrase...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Given the coloring, it is hard to imagine it is not blessed by the Wavedancer herself. It looks like the color of the ocean.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
Gold-traced pale green ribbons of energy swirl about and coalesce upon Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dull black sheen forms over Anarquendi&#039;s eyes, accompanied by numerous spindly fibers sprouting from his limbs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A peak tiger butts up against Aharil, whiskers twitching as she blinks up at him trustingly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It is a rather unusual color for its type.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys offers you a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.  Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it.  The offer will expire in 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You accept Vanathys&#039;s offer and are now holding a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wind picks up, causing a weathervane to creak as it adjusts to its new heading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod in agreement at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;All the ones in my garden are just regular grey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys amusedly adds, &amp;quot;Sometimes a light grey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I cannot decide if I want to put its likeness on a hat for Lady Bayvel&#039;s Rolton Racing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;When is that this year?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You lament, &amp;quot;Not until later, in the spring.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You put a sea blue and green-striped roly poly in your charmeuse mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Perhaps I&#039;ll take Oirisu...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;I fear the hour has gone late, I must retire for the evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods at Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Though, she will make me wear a horrible hat, won&#039;t she?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hand lowered, Aylysha gives you a subtle wave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Perhaps you should take her instead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You wish, &amp;quot;Rest well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you ask, &amp;quot;I most certainly could but then you would miss the grounds of Veythorne. I imagine you and the lord are somewhat well known to each other given your common interests?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;Unfortunately I think Krystalena and I need to head home for the evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods at Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Oh, it is getting rather late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You agree, &amp;quot;The hour has grown late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves to Krystalena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We may have had more than one chat in the past.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes up into the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi agrees with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hooded crow cocks her head to one side, the feathers of her hood briefly lifting into a spiky brush.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;Have a good night everyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves to Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Oh, yes. It has. I should head back to the... well, I should go make sure that my guest hasn&#039;t had to throw fans at anyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi begins chuckling at Vanathys!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I should check to see if Lord Anduin has taken a break from his guiding the fleet.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus&#039;s group just went west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;He&#039;s been relentless since last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You stand back up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi joins Aharil&#039;s group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I have not slept much.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aharil, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Tomorrow we should check out the Toadwart and the Weald...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Aharil says, &amp;quot;Why? It&#039;s already been searched.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shrugs at Aharil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking kindly to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;Indeed, and not for the common reasons, hrm? Give my regards to your very empty household.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil says, &amp;quot;Have a nice evening everyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You perform a bow characteristic of the Nalfein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi hums distractedly to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil&#039;s group just went west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I am too tired to offer a witty retort.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;A victory, is a victory.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana is very Nalfein that way.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;GREATFALLS: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This log is from Ta&#039;Vaalor on 01-21-2024 from the viewpoint of [[Uniana (prime)|Uniana]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ambients prior to Vanathys&#039; arrival)&lt;br /&gt;
:A pair of well-dressed elven ladies converse beneath some maple trees.  &amp;quot;I heard he&#039;s reluctant until all this business with that boy and Ardtin is resolved,&amp;quot; the taller one says.  After an understanding nod, the other adds grimly, &amp;quot;Hopefully the former isn&#039;t inadvertently our fault.  I&#039;d hate for that to complicate things.&amp;quot;  The pair glances around and then lowers the rest of the conversation into hushed whispers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A bandon of soldiers marches west in pairs.  Snippets of quiet chatter sound above the rhythmic pounding of their boots on the cobblestones.  &amp;quot;--scouts to the south ran into a couple.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;--socks are going to be wet for days from--&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;--no answers yet from the one they--&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Botanist Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
:He appears to be a Vaalor Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is taller than average and has a lean, athletic physique.  He appears to have come of age.  He has darkly lined, almond-shaped indigo eyes and golden bronze skin.  He has long, sun-kissed sandy blonde hair twisted into a loose, disheveled bun, with wavy strands escaping to frame his face.  He has a gently angled face, a slim, upturned nose and a well-defined jawline.  A pair of small scars cuts through the pale arch of his right eyebrow.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is wearing a neutral plaid scarf looped about his neck, a vine-carved sephwir longbow slung over his shoulder, a flora-branded myrtle suede back quiver with crossed chest straps, a hip-length taupe suede jacket laced to the elbows, a sage vicuna tunic with a central panel of foliated brocade, a rectangular brushed nubuck kit, a slim pair of chocolate leather pants riveted in ivory roses, and some cire leather boots lightly caked in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You respectfully greet, &amp;quot;Good evening, Vanathys.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys greets, &amp;quot;Good evening, Lady Anduin.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Good eve.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krystalena smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking respectfully to Krystalena, Vanathys greets, &amp;quot;Legionnaire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You cheerfully observe, &amp;quot;You&#039;ve been hunting!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Aylysha&#039;s group just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys dryly remarks, &amp;quot;Not sure I would call it hunting.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You suggest, &amp;quot;Sporting? Birding?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods to Vanathys in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Krystalena, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;There we go.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Guarding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You curiously repeat, &amp;quot;Guarding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze with interest at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Mm. Some unwanted visitors yesterday.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;True.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We did check the darkwoode area, and the area with the bobcats as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You worriedly ask, &amp;quot;Did they bother the shop?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;I would think not, that guard in the shop should deter most pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Not the shop. They wandered onto my... ah, property. And from what Prisys has told me, into the compound.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You frown at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You quickly ask, &amp;quot;That&#039;s awful, is everyone alright?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys adds, &amp;quot;Not sure where they thought they were going, but it was certainly a wrong turn from my point of view.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;That is odd.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana glances at the longbow over Vanathys&#039;s shoulder.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The report was of some pirates being seen wandering around reading from a map.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I am sure they realized it was the wrong turn from their point of view too late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m not sure they had time to realize they made a wrong turn.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys quirks a half-smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Does your property connect to the swamp lands of the Toadwort at all?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys looks over at Laermeluion and shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s were they were tracked to last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m a bit further east and on the north side of the road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice Anarquendi moving stealthily into the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Would that be south of the weald?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;They could have been very lost, either the ones we found or the ones found about Vanathys&#039; property.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Some people just don&#039;t know how to read maps.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Somewhere to that effect.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;If they were meant to be going to the Toadwort, then they were rather lost.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I believe Legionnaire Tylanthriel mentioned seeing pirate on Aradhul road though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Or that might have just been peculiar bandits.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances northeast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys curiously asks, &amp;quot;Really?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha asks, &amp;quot;Would it possible to see where these Pirates fell?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;So it is possible there are bandits and pirates roaming all over the lands.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;He was patrolling and found them wandering.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;With so much trade from Mistwatch it is not surprising that they might even blend in among the traders and crews.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;d rather not have visitors, and they are... disposed of anyway.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I would say they were scouting for a new location to set up camp.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You think to yourself, &amp;quot;Fertilizer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But I&#039;m not sure if that makes sense with a map in hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(OOC) Vanathys&#039;s player whispers, &amp;quot;LOL.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Unless they are using the map to chart the areas in detail.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seem just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seem walks over to the bench and settles down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;When I heard the calls yesterday it sounded like they had a specific destination in mind. And then Lady Akenna saw one with a map.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
s&amp;gt;look&lt;br /&gt;
[Ta&#039;Vaalor, King&#039;s Court - 3519] (u14100047)&lt;br /&gt;
Maple trees line the edges of the court, filtering the moonlight cast over the orderly cobblestones.  Several elven guards stand beside a lasimor-framed board, chatting quietly amongst themselves as they scan the gathered crowds.  Darkly stained wooden benches, spaced between gilded pots of dragonstalks, provide a chance for a brief respite from the bustle of the city.  You also see the Seem disk, a sleek golden ferret that is lying down, a blue wolf, a peak tiger, a pile of freshly fallen snow and a wooden barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Seem who is sitting, Orssus, Squire Legionnaire Aylysha, Botanist Vanathys, Legionnaire Krystalena, First Legionnaire Laermeluion&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It would seem this isn&#039;t as isolated of an incident as we were hoping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you ask, &amp;quot;The compound is on guard now as well?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Though it was a bit odd that a couple of sea-faring types were so deep in the woods, on both counts.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;When the pirates first appeared; weren&#039;t they, and the Cobalt Vipers, trying to find something?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys assures, &amp;quot;They did not get far.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You let out a sigh of relief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;You do not want to be on the wrong end of a Greengair trap.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The pirates first appeared as a means to distract from the cobalt vipers I believe.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The pirates were cooperating to potentially smuggle goods off shore that the bandits stole from the merchants arriving in Mistwatch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;You destroyed the Cobalt Vipers though, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Hopefully those little gnomes that stayed with me will be able to cause enough trouble...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You glance over your shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You unsuccessfully try to stifle your grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes up into the heavens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We destroyed the camp we founds, and killed their leader.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;The leader of the Cobalt Vipers was killed, but who knows if another bandit took their place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;If I get hit with one more tornado of leaves, I will personally hunt you down, Watcher.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;There was a pirate captain present, but they got away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But there was word of three Captains if I remember correctly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;I claim no responsibility for their actions.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, perhaps the pirates are picking up where the bandits left off, if they were in league with them, as you all say.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys allows, &amp;quot;Or it&#039;s entirely unrelated.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Off the top of my head Cooper was the name of the pirate captain we encountered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;&#039;or was it Copper?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You muse, &amp;quot;Terrible name for a pirate captain.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;It was mentioned the pirates were masked.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But they weren&#039;t wearing the cobalt viper colors.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods in agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Did you get a good look at the clothe the pirates that tresspassed on your property were wearing?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You cock your head at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The ones encountered last night were wearing black.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;No cobalt, if that&#039;s your question.  I went through their things, but there was nothing of note.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I wonder if we are seeing potential recruits to this new outfit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Maybe prospects are given a vague map and if they make it there, they are allow to join.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;They just simply seemed... Ah, I don&#039;t know. Out of place?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s most pirates on dry land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Not very good in the woods. I could hear them coming from quite a distance.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Orssus says, &amp;quot;Seen Krol pirates all the way up in the mountains before.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;They certainly did not seem inclined to be stealthy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil suddenly fades into view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;They seemed to be recruiting a few months ago as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;You said you tracked them into the Toadwort? They may not be stealthy, but they know how to lose a trail. Or it was sheer luck.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Have there been any further reports of merchants being harassed?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;Forgive me if it has been mentioned, but we came a little late. There was mention of a map, was that ever recovered?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The search party last night say tracks toward the toadwort, Squire Legionnnaire Stavio encountered a few pirates in the swamp of the Toadwort.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You look at Anarquendi and shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It&#039;s very difficult to track through water and swamps.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But by the time the captive was taken into custody and I was able to join Legionnaire Tylanthriel and Krystalena to search the area it was all too much of a soupy mess out there.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the hooded crow bobs her head and lets out a series of percussive, two-toned chirps, threads of smoke drift from her open beak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi works his fingers under his sephwir circlet and scratches his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly to the hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It throws off the scent if you&#039;re using tracking animals, and the terrain reforms quickly or fills with water when it&#039;s disturbed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A peak tiger blinks impassively and lets out a raspy utterance of hunger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Anarquendi scratches the peak tiger behind the ears, the feline tilts her head into Anarquendi&#039;s hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;And there&#039;s a bunch of frenetic goblins out there doing all manner of chaos.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It&#039;d be difficult to tell what way they went.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha agrees with Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;It seems they have gone well beyond simply bothering merchants, that much can be assumed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I mean, there&#039;s still some harassing happening at the port, from what the guards at the shop tell me, but that&#039;s been going on for months now.  I&#039;ve not seen much activity on Neartofar Road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Most of the harassing I imagine is coming from the riots.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t think that&#039;s always the case.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Oh, captives were mentioned as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Legionnaire Tylanthriel said something about seeing captives last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lowering her head, a smoke-swirled hooded crow rocks her body and caws three times in succession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But I&#039;m not sure of the details of that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana is beginning to wonder if this is giving Illistim a case not to want to treaty with House Vaalor.  It comes off as very messy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I know we saw someone being pushed aboard a ship a few weeks ago.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Drunk urging or against their will?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at a smoke-swirled hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys pets a smoke-swirled hooded crow, which nuzzles his hand softly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;That was when the handkerchief was found, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Looked like a young male elf, malnourished could be how you might describe him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;And he was being partially dragged aboard as the pirates fled our defense of Mistwatch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha blinks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, I&#039;ve dragged people off before because they were too slow.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you explain, &amp;quot;It was quite hard to see, it was dark and they were far away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We found the torn gentian blue silk handkerchief with the letter G embroidered on it at the end of that same pier.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys mutters, &amp;quot;I hope I do not regret buying a shop in that port.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you reassure, &amp;quot;The Gilded Talon has a business office in the port. They have never had any trouble.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Orssus asks, &amp;quot;Do you think Ta&#039;Vaalor should try and negotiate ownership of the port?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys casts a quick glance toward the keep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Orssus, you say, &amp;quot;There is a lot of freedom in keeping the port privately owned.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking carefully to Orssus, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t think it should have been allowed to be built under private ownership in the first place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana was trying to be diplomatic. She isn&#039;t sure Vanathys&#039; feelings about Qalinor, even given his closeness with Oirisu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;That would certainaly would make things easier.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking amusedly to you, Vanathys remarks, &amp;quot;Freedom for who, though?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;If the port was owned by Ta&#039;Vaalor there would likely not be the pirate problem currently.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;For the crews and companies who do business there. For the government, who can levy taxes against the private industry and take little to no responsibility for the problems.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Freedom for the pirates of the seas, too, it would seem.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Even still, one can&#039;t just go around taking other people&#039;s things like a child plucking a toy out of another&#039;s hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Yes there  needs to be rules.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;The Sea of Mists must be one of the most dangerous due to the protection of the Gilded Talon, at times the Sentinel Fleet and not to mention getting through Nalfein&#039;s naval presence to the south, and including the natural defenses of the fog and low banks. There has to be something greater than simple piracy at hand. They would have a much easier time with some of the less guarded outposts, even if the plunder is not as grand. They would at least likely leave with lives intact.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The issue is the port doesn&#039;t have the means to currently defend themselves effectively.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana strokes the tip of her origami thorn thoughtfully along her jaw.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko asks, &amp;quot;Party?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys allows, &amp;quot;They do seem rather persistent, considering the consequences continually inflicted upon them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Hucko drops his sonic tiger-claw, it hovers in mid-air and gently bobs up and down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Not realy a party.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking kindly to Hucko, you explain, &amp;quot;We are discussing the presence and persistence of pirates as of late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko says, &amp;quot;Its pretty crowded.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Just a tad.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I do not mean to disparage the efforts of the Gilded Talon, of course. I imagine it would be worse without it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You look at Vanathys and shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;But the First Legionnaire is likely right. The port does not have the means to defend itself effectively.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi reaches over and leans a hand on the peak tiger&#039;s back, rubbing her gently.  The peak tiger looks toward him and purrs in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you reassure, &amp;quot;Not at all, you and the First Legionnaire are right. My lord husband agrees. I believe he means to send a proposal to the keep regarding his suggestions of safety measures.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just came marching in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods to Stavio in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio and Anarquendi clasp forearms in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio gazes in wonder at his surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I wonder how much of it is our responsibility, though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;But even still, all of that requires funding and ---yes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You pleasantly quip, &amp;quot;The freedoms of a private port.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko just went east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I return to that it should never have been allowed in the first place. Now resolving the issues is more complicated, I imagine.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A pair of young reservists walk by, their hands resting on their swords with pride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I generally stay out of politics, but I would prefer I did not have pirates stumbling onto my property.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;Any intervention will mean more than just that of the port itself too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You disapprovingly murmur, &amp;quot;That road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys agrees, &amp;quot;I have been complaining about the road for years.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You tilt your head up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just marched off to the south.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking gently to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;I hope your household was none too bothered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys admits, &amp;quot;Not much of a household to speak of, in truth. I don&#039;t like all the...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha glances at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Clutter.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi appears to be trying hard not to grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I was going to say bother, but I don&#039;t like that either.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A unit of Vaalorian soldiers, resplendent in their crimson and gold armor, marches through at a rapid pace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You curiously ask, &amp;quot;No guests to worry about then?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You swap your origami thorn from your left to your right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys smirks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana uses the tip of her nails to adjust the point of her origami thorn.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;No one was bothered. The intruders were dispatched of quickly enough.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;All roads have issues.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze up into the sky and see stars sparkling in the darkness...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve stars form a faint but jagged pattern in the skies, the vague outline of a six-talon claw barely visible in the inky darkness of the night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil cleans his spidersilk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a mummified cricket off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped grasshopper off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped beetle off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a dried fly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a mummified moth off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a dried cricket off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil dusts himself off.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil drops a silk-wrapped butterfly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi glances at Aharil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion glances down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shakes his head, clucking his tongue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys pointedly says, &amp;quot;We didn&#039;t used to have issues.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Thats alot of bugs.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana notes which side of the Sovereign debate Vanathys&#039; bread is buttered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi whispers something to Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A complete and utter feeling of smugness envelops you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We&#039;ve too many roads in disrepair.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Only in dire straits would I eat those.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You diplomatically ask, &amp;quot;Running on a platform of trade should mean an increase in state coffers, shouldn&#039;t it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha asks, &amp;quot;How would you pay to maintain the roads?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, I stay out of politics, but I would imagine so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys replies, &amp;quot;We are not exactly hurting economically.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You think to yourself, &amp;quot;You mean ceasing trade with the shanty halfling gambling town didn&#039;t financially ruin an elven City-State? I for one am *shocked*.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi glances down.&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures while summoning the spirits of nature to his aid...&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
A strong breeze suddenly picks up and begins to blow around in different directions through the area!&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped butterfly is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped butterfly is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi dusts off his hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A strong breeze continues to swirl through the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dried cricket is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown north!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just came marching in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio checks his equipment, adjusting and rearranging his gear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Nothing to do with the children&#039;s behavior, you said?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped beetle is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi makes a simple gesture, and the strong breeze stops as suddenly as it arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Critters flying everywhere.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Just because I showed them out to do something, doesn&#039;t mean I can control WHEN they do it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi rocks back on his heels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hooded crow ruffles her feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, you warn, &amp;quot;If one of those ends up in my hair.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi picks up a silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You narrow your eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi offers you a silk-wrapped grasshopper.  Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it.  The offer will expire in 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi flashes a wide grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You feel the blood drain from your face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;It&#039;s probably dead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You accept Anarquendi&#039;s offer and are now holding a silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You swap a pristine blush rose origami thorn to your left hand and a silk-wrapped grasshopper to your right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You feed your hooded crow a bite of your silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
Roundtime: 3 sec.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod to the hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Yes but  wagons, carts and mounts   damage  roads.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys laughs, &amp;quot;It is amazing they still let you in the gates.  Or do you have to sneak in?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
s&amp;gt;feed crow&lt;br /&gt;
You feed your hooded crow the last of your silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
Roundtime: 3 sec.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Elven to Laermeluion, Stavio says, &amp;quot;When you search toadwort did you see the shed , it could be someone held or hiding in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods at Stavio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I noticed it the other night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;On occasion I have been... encouraged to not come inside.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;It looks ramshackled and destroyed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;But most of the time it was mostly suggestion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Aharil says, &amp;quot;Most of the time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys plucks a silk-wrapped bug out of one of the pots of dragonstalks, then pinches a couple of dead buds off the plant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Roads can have regular repairs done to them when they are damaged.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You hear very soft footsteps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice Anarquendi moving stealthily into the area&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi carefully inspects his mummified moth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ribbons of smoke lazily drift from the hooded crow&#039;s feathers and coil sinuously on the air before dispersing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi feeds a smoke-swirled hooded crow a bite of his mummified moth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You remove a sea blue and green-striped roly poly from in your charmeuse mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You show Anarquendi your green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi grins at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We used to take more pride in our roads.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You listen carefully to Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Why settle for less than that?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Aylysha gives Lady&#039;s Anduin&#039;s a hair a  quick check for unwanted  items.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gratefully say, &amp;quot;Thank you, dear.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi whispers, &amp;quot;Be careful not to get too close to Aharil, his cloak will snatch up your little roly poly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Your welcome.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil leans in toward the cloak, his pointed ears raised ever so slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A raven black spider-shaped clasp crawls up to Aharil&#039;s ear for a moment before returning to his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shudders.&lt;br /&gt;
A sourceless breeze ruffles the hooded crow&#039;s feathers, scattering smoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana realizes that Vanathys is probably a bit unhinged given his evening of murdering brigands and she loves to see him unrestrained. This doesn&#039;t bode well for Qalinor *at all*.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, you say, &amp;quot;All the way from Niima&#039;s temple at Kraken&#039;s Fall.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You tilt your green-striped roly poly side to side, making the light play off it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Interesting specimen.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio removes an ornate delicate case painted with a resplendent sun on the top from in his sturdy leather pack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio carefully examines his delicate case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Insects are not really my area of interest...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;It is fun to assume their aspects though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You offer your green-striped roly poly to Vanathys, who has 30 seconds to accept the offer.  Click CANCEL to prematurely cancel the offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys has accepted your offer and is now holding a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes thoughtfully at his green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just marched off to the east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi scratches his chin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Although I guess spiders aren&#039;t inspects.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi makes a nearly imperceptible motion while whispering a soft phrase...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Given the coloring, it is hard to imagine it is not blessed by the Wavedancer herself. It looks like the color of the ocean.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
Gold-traced pale green ribbons of energy swirl about and coalesce upon Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dull black sheen forms over Anarquendi&#039;s eyes, accompanied by numerous spindly fibers sprouting from his limbs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A peak tiger butts up against Aharil, whiskers twitching as she blinks up at him trustingly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It is a rather unusual color for its type.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys offers you a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.  Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it.  The offer will expire in 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You accept Vanathys&#039;s offer and are now holding a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wind picks up, causing a weathervane to creak as it adjusts to its new heading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod in agreement at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;All the ones in my garden are just regular grey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys amusedly adds, &amp;quot;Sometimes a light grey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I cannot decide if I want to put its likeness on a hat for Lady Bayvel&#039;s Rolton Racing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;When is that this year?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You lament, &amp;quot;Not until later, in the spring.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You put a sea blue and green-striped roly poly in your charmeuse mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Perhaps I&#039;ll take Oirisu...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;I fear the hour has gone late, I must retire for the evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods at Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Though, she will make me wear a horrible hat, won&#039;t she?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hand lowered, Aylysha gives you a subtle wave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Perhaps you should take her instead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You wish, &amp;quot;Rest well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you ask, &amp;quot;I most certainly could but then you would miss the grounds of Veythorne. I imagine you and the lord are somewhat well known to each other given your common interests?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;Unfortunately I think Krystalena and I need to head home for the evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods at Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Oh, it is getting rather late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You agree, &amp;quot;The hour has grown late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves to Krystalena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We may have had more than one chat in the past.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes up into the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi agrees with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hooded crow cocks her head to one side, the feathers of her hood briefly lifting into a spiky brush.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;Have a good night everyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves to Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Oh, yes. It has. I should head back to the... well, I should go make sure that my guest hasn&#039;t had to throw fans at anyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi begins chuckling at Vanathys!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I should check to see if Lord Anduin has taken a break from his guiding the fleet.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus&#039;s group just went west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;He&#039;s been relentless since last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You stand back up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi joins Aharil&#039;s group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I have not slept much.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aharil, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Tomorrow we should check out the Toadwart and the Weald...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Aharil says, &amp;quot;Why? It&#039;s already been searched.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shrugs at Aharil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking kindly to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;Indeed, and not for the common reasons, hrm? Give my regards to your very empty household.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil says, &amp;quot;Have a nice evening everyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You perform a bow characteristic of the Nalfein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi hums distractedly to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil&#039;s group just went west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I am too tired to offer a witty retort.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;A victory, is a victory.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana is very Nalfein that way.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;GREATFALLS: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This log is from Ta&#039;Vaalor on 01-21-2024 from the viewpoint of [[Uniana (prime)|Uniana]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ambients prior to Vanathys&#039; arrival)&lt;br /&gt;
:A pair of well-dressed elven ladies converse beneath some maple trees.  &amp;quot;I heard he&#039;s reluctant until all this business with that boy and Ardtin is resolved,&amp;quot; the taller one says.  After an understanding nod, the other adds grimly, &amp;quot;Hopefully the former isn&#039;t inadvertently our fault.  I&#039;d hate for that to complicate things.&amp;quot;  The pair glances around and then lowers the rest of the conversation into hushed whispers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A bandon of soldiers marches west in pairs.  Snippets of quiet chatter sound above the rhythmic pounding of their boots on the cobblestones.  &amp;quot;--scouts to the south ran into a couple.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;--socks are going to be wet for days from--&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;--no answers yet from the one they--&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see Botanist Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
:He appears to be a Vaalor Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is taller than average and has a lean, athletic physique.  He appears to have come of age.  He has darkly lined, almond-shaped indigo eyes and golden bronze skin.  He has long, sun-kissed sandy blonde hair twisted into a loose, disheveled bun, with wavy strands escaping to frame his face.  He has a gently angled face, a slim, upturned nose and a well-defined jawline.  A pair of small scars cuts through the pale arch of his right eyebrow.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:He is wearing a neutral plaid scarf looped about his neck, a vine-carved sephwir longbow slung over his shoulder, a flora-branded myrtle suede back quiver with crossed chest straps, a hip-length taupe suede jacket laced to the elbows, a sage vicuna tunic with a central panel of foliated brocade, a rectangular brushed nubuck kit, a slim pair of chocolate leather pants riveted in ivory roses, and some cire leather boots lightly caked in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You respectfully greet, &amp;quot;Good evening, Vanathys.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys greets, &amp;quot;Good evening, Lady Anduin.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Good eve.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krystalena smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking respectfully to Krystalena, Vanathys greets, &amp;quot;Legionnaire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You cheerfully observe, &amp;quot;You&#039;ve been hunting!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Aylysha&#039;s group just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys dryly remarks, &amp;quot;Not sure I would call it hunting.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You suggest, &amp;quot;Sporting? Birding?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods to Vanathys in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Krystalena, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;There we go.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Guarding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You curiously repeat, &amp;quot;Guarding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze with interest at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Mm. Some unwanted visitors yesterday.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;True.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We did check the darkwoode area, and the area with the bobcats as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You worriedly ask, &amp;quot;Did they bother the shop?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;I would think not, that guard in the shop should deter most pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Not the shop. They wandered onto my... ah, property. And from what Prisys has told me, into the compound.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You frown at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You quickly ask, &amp;quot;That&#039;s awful, is everyone alright?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys adds, &amp;quot;Not sure where they thought they were going, but it was certainly a wrong turn from my point of view.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;That is odd.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana glances at the longbow over Vanathys&#039;s shoulder.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The report was of some pirates being seen wandering around reading from a map.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I am sure they realized it was the wrong turn from their point of view too late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m not sure they had time to realize they made a wrong turn.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys quirks a half-smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Does your property connect to the swamp lands of the Toadwort at all?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys looks over at Laermeluion and shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s were they were tracked to last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m a bit further east and on the north side of the road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice Anarquendi moving stealthily into the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Would that be south of the weald?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;They could have been very lost, either the ones we found or the ones found about Vanathys&#039; property.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Some people just don&#039;t know how to read maps.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Somewhere to that effect.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;If they were meant to be going to the Toadwort, then they were rather lost.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I believe Legionnaire Tylanthriel mentioned seeing pirate on Aradhul road though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Or that might have just been peculiar bandits.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances northeast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys curiously asks, &amp;quot;Really?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha asks, &amp;quot;Would it possible to see where these Pirates fell?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;So it is possible there are bandits and pirates roaming all over the lands.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;He was patrolling and found them wandering.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;With so much trade from Mistwatch it is not surprising that they might even blend in among the traders and crews.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;d rather not have visitors, and they are... disposed of anyway.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I would say they were scouting for a new location to set up camp.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You think to yourself, &amp;quot;Fertilizer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But I&#039;m not sure if that makes sense with a map in hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(OOC) Vanathys&#039;s player whispers, &amp;quot;LOL.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Unless they are using the map to chart the areas in detail.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seem just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seem walks over to the bench and settles down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;When I heard the calls yesterday it sounded like they had a specific destination in mind. And then Lady Akenna saw one with a map.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
s&amp;gt;look&lt;br /&gt;
[Ta&#039;Vaalor, King&#039;s Court - 3519] (u14100047)&lt;br /&gt;
Maple trees line the edges of the court, filtering the moonlight cast over the orderly cobblestones.  Several elven guards stand beside a lasimor-framed board, chatting quietly amongst themselves as they scan the gathered crowds.  Darkly stained wooden benches, spaced between gilded pots of dragonstalks, provide a chance for a brief respite from the bustle of the city.  You also see the Seem disk, a sleek golden ferret that is lying down, a blue wolf, a peak tiger, a pile of freshly fallen snow and a wooden barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Seem who is sitting, Orssus, Squire Legionnaire Aylysha, Botanist Vanathys, Legionnaire Krystalena, First Legionnaire Laermeluion&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It would seem this isn&#039;t as isolated of an incident as we were hoping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you ask, &amp;quot;The compound is on guard now as well?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Though it was a bit odd that a couple of sea-faring types were so deep in the woods, on both counts.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;When the pirates first appeared; weren&#039;t they, and the Cobalt Vipers, trying to find something?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys assures, &amp;quot;They did not get far.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You let out a sigh of relief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;You do not want to be on the wrong end of a Greengair trap.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The pirates first appeared as a means to distract from the cobalt vipers I believe.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The pirates were cooperating to potentially smuggle goods off shore that the bandits stole from the merchants arriving in Mistwatch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;You destroyed the Cobalt Vipers though, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Hopefully those little gnomes that stayed with me will be able to cause enough trouble...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You glance over your shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You unsuccessfully try to stifle your grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes up into the heavens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We destroyed the camp we founds, and killed their leader.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;The leader of the Cobalt Vipers was killed, but who knows if another bandit took their place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;If I get hit with one more tornado of leaves, I will personally hunt you down, Watcher.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;There was a pirate captain present, but they got away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But there was word of three Captains if I remember correctly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;I claim no responsibility for their actions.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, perhaps the pirates are picking up where the bandits left off, if they were in league with them, as you all say.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys allows, &amp;quot;Or it&#039;s entirely unrelated.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Off the top of my head Cooper was the name of the pirate captain we encountered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;&#039;or was it Copper?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You muse, &amp;quot;Terrible name for a pirate captain.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;It was mentioned the pirates were masked.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But they weren&#039;t wearing the cobalt viper colors.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods in agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Did you get a good look at the clothe the pirates that tresspassed on your property were wearing?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You cock your head at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The ones encountered last night were wearing black.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;No cobalt, if that&#039;s your question.  I went through their things, but there was nothing of note.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I wonder if we are seeing potential recruits to this new outfit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Maybe prospects are given a vague map and if they make it there, they are allow to join.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;They just simply seemed... Ah, I don&#039;t know. Out of place?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s most pirates on dry land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Not very good in the woods. I could hear them coming from quite a distance.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Orssus says, &amp;quot;Seen Krol pirates all the way up in the mountains before.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;They certainly did not seem inclined to be stealthy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil suddenly fades into view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;They seemed to be recruiting a few months ago as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;You said you tracked them into the Toadwort? They may not be stealthy, but they know how to lose a trail. Or it was sheer luck.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Have there been any further reports of merchants being harassed?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;Forgive me if it has been mentioned, but we came a little late. There was mention of a map, was that ever recovered?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The search party last night say tracks toward the toadwort, Squire Legionnnaire Stavio encountered a few pirates in the swamp of the Toadwort.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You look at Anarquendi and shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It&#039;s very difficult to track through water and swamps.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But by the time the captive was taken into custody and I was able to join Legionnaire Tylanthriel and Krystalena to search the area it was all too much of a soupy mess out there.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the hooded crow bobs her head and lets out a series of percussive, two-toned chirps, threads of smoke drift from her open beak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi works his fingers under his sephwir circlet and scratches his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly to the hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It throws off the scent if you&#039;re using tracking animals, and the terrain reforms quickly or fills with water when it&#039;s disturbed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A peak tiger blinks impassively and lets out a raspy utterance of hunger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Anarquendi scratches the peak tiger behind the ears, the feline tilts her head into Anarquendi&#039;s hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;And there&#039;s a bunch of frenetic goblins out there doing all manner of chaos.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It&#039;d be difficult to tell what way they went.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha agrees with Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;It seems they have gone well beyond simply bothering merchants, that much can be assumed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I mean, there&#039;s still some harassing happening at the port, from what the guards at the shop tell me, but that&#039;s been going on for months now.  I&#039;ve not seen much activity on Neartofar Road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Most of the harassing I imagine is coming from the riots.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t think that&#039;s always the case.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Oh, captives were mentioned as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Legionnaire Tylanthriel said something about seeing captives last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lowering her head, a smoke-swirled hooded crow rocks her body and caws three times in succession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But I&#039;m not sure of the details of that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana is beginning to wonder if this is giving Illistim a case not to want to treaty with House Vaalor.  It comes off as very messy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I know we saw someone being pushed aboard a ship a few weeks ago.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Drunk urging or against their will?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at a smoke-swirled hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys pets a smoke-swirled hooded crow, which nuzzles his hand softly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;That was when the handkerchief was found, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Looked like a young male elf, malnourished could be how you might describe him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;And he was being partially dragged aboard as the pirates fled our defense of Mistwatch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha blinks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, I&#039;ve dragged people off before because they were too slow.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you explain, &amp;quot;It was quite hard to see, it was dark and they were far away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We found the torn gentian blue silk handkerchief with the letter G embroidered on it at the end of that same pier.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys mutters, &amp;quot;I hope I do not regret buying a shop in that port.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you reassure, &amp;quot;The Gilded Talon has a business office in the port. They have never had any trouble.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Orssus asks, &amp;quot;Do you think Ta&#039;Vaalor should try and negotiate ownership of the port?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys casts a quick glance toward the keep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Orssus, you say, &amp;quot;There is a lot of freedom in keeping the port privately owned.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking carefully to Orssus, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t think it should have been allowed to be built under private ownership in the first place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana was trying to be diplomatic. She isn&#039;t sure Vanathys&#039; feelings about Qalinor, even given his closeness with Oirisu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;That would certainaly would make things easier.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking amusedly to you, Vanathys remarks, &amp;quot;Freedom for who, though?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;If the port was owned by Ta&#039;Vaalor there would likely not be the pirate problem currently.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;For the crews and companies who do business there. For the government, who can levy taxes against the private industry and take little to no responsibility for the problems.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Freedom for the pirates of the seas, too, it would seem.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Even still, one can&#039;t just go around taking other people&#039;s things like a child plucking a toy out of another&#039;s hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Yes there  needs to be rules.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;The Sea of Mists must be one of the most dangerous due to the protection of the Gilded Talon, at times the Sentinel Fleet and not to mention getting through Nalfein&#039;s naval presence to the south, and including the natural defenses of the fog and low banks. There has to be something greater than simple piracy at hand. They would have a much easier time with some of the less guarded outposts, even if the plunder is not as grand. They would at least likely leave with lives intact.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The issue is the port doesn&#039;t have the means to currently defend themselves effectively.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana strokes the tip of her origami thorn thoughtfully along her jaw.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko asks, &amp;quot;Party?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys allows, &amp;quot;They do seem rather persistent, considering the consequences continually inflicted upon them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Hucko drops his sonic tiger-claw, it hovers in mid-air and gently bobs up and down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Not realy a party.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking kindly to Hucko, you explain, &amp;quot;We are discussing the presence and persistence of pirates as of late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko says, &amp;quot;Its pretty crowded.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Just a tad.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I do not mean to disparage the efforts of the Gilded Talon, of course. I imagine it would be worse without it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You look at Vanathys and shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;But the First Legionnaire is likely right. The port does not have the means to defend itself effectively.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi reaches over and leans a hand on the peak tiger&#039;s back, rubbing her gently.  The peak tiger looks toward him and purrs in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you reassure, &amp;quot;Not at all, you and the First Legionnaire are right. My lord husband agrees. I believe he means to send a proposal to the keep regarding his suggestions of safety measures.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just came marching in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods to Stavio in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio and Anarquendi clasp forearms in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio gazes in wonder at his surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I wonder how much of it is our responsibility, though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;But even still, all of that requires funding and ---yes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You pleasantly quip, &amp;quot;The freedoms of a private port.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko just went east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I return to that it should never have been allowed in the first place. Now resolving the issues is more complicated, I imagine.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A pair of young reservists walk by, their hands resting on their swords with pride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I generally stay out of politics, but I would prefer I did not have pirates stumbling onto my property.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;Any intervention will mean more than just that of the port itself too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You disapprovingly murmur, &amp;quot;That road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys agrees, &amp;quot;I have been complaining about the road for years.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You tilt your head up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just marched off to the south.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking gently to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;I hope your household was none too bothered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys admits, &amp;quot;Not much of a household to speak of, in truth. I don&#039;t like all the...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha glances at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Clutter.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi appears to be trying hard not to grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I was going to say bother, but I don&#039;t like that either.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A unit of Vaalorian soldiers, resplendent in their crimson and gold armor, marches through at a rapid pace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You curiously ask, &amp;quot;No guests to worry about then?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You swap your origami thorn from your left to your right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys smirks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana uses the tip of her nails to adjust the point of her origami thorn.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;No one was bothered. The intruders were dispatched of quickly enough.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;All roads have issues.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze up into the sky and see stars sparkling in the darkness...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve stars form a faint but jagged pattern in the skies, the vague outline of a six-talon claw barely visible in the inky darkness of the night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil cleans his spidersilk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a mummified cricket off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped grasshopper off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped beetle off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a dried fly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a mummified moth off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a dried cricket off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil dusts himself off.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil drops a silk-wrapped butterfly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi glances at Aharil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion glances down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shakes his head, clucking his tongue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys pointedly says, &amp;quot;We didn&#039;t used to have issues.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Thats alot of bugs.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana notes which side of the Sovereign debate Vanathys&#039; bread is buttered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi whispers something to Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A complete and utter feeling of smugness envelops you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We&#039;ve too many roads in disrepair.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Only in dire straits would I eat those.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You diplomatically ask, &amp;quot;Running on a platform of trade should mean an increase in state coffers, shouldn&#039;t it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha asks, &amp;quot;How would you pay to maintain the roads?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, I stay out of politics, but I would imagine so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys replies, &amp;quot;We are not exactly hurting economically.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You think to yourself, &amp;quot;You mean ceasing trade with the shanty halfling gambling town didn&#039;t financially ruin an elven City-State? I for one am *shocked*.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi glances down.&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures while summoning the spirits of nature to his aid...&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
A strong breeze suddenly picks up and begins to blow around in different directions through the area!&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped butterfly is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped butterfly is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi dusts off his hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A strong breeze continues to swirl through the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dried cricket is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown north!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just came marching in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio checks his equipment, adjusting and rearranging his gear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Nothing to do with the children&#039;s behavior, you said?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped beetle is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi makes a simple gesture, and the strong breeze stops as suddenly as it arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Critters flying everywhere.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Just because I showed them out to do something, doesn&#039;t mean I can control WHEN they do it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi rocks back on his heels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hooded crow ruffles her feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, you warn, &amp;quot;If one of those ends up in my hair.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi picks up a silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You narrow your eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi offers you a silk-wrapped grasshopper.  Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it.  The offer will expire in 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi flashes a wide grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You feel the blood drain from your face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;It&#039;s probably dead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You accept Anarquendi&#039;s offer and are now holding a silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You swap a pristine blush rose origami thorn to your left hand and a silk-wrapped grasshopper to your right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You feed your hooded crow a bite of your silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
Roundtime: 3 sec.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod to the hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Yes but  wagons, carts and mounts   damage  roads.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys laughs, &amp;quot;It is amazing they still let you in the gates.  Or do you have to sneak in?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
s&amp;gt;feed crow&lt;br /&gt;
You feed your hooded crow the last of your silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
Roundtime: 3 sec.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Elven to Laermeluion, Stavio says, &amp;quot;When you search toadwort did you see the shed , it could be someone held or hiding in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods at Stavio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I noticed it the other night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;On occasion I have been... encouraged to not come inside.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;It looks ramshackled and destroyed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;But most of the time it was mostly suggestion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Aharil says, &amp;quot;Most of the time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys plucks a silk-wrapped bug out of one of the pots of dragonstalks, then pinches a couple of dead buds off the plant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Roads can have regular repairs done to them when they are damaged.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You hear very soft footsteps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice Anarquendi moving stealthily into the area&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi carefully inspects his mummified moth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ribbons of smoke lazily drift from the hooded crow&#039;s feathers and coil sinuously on the air before dispersing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi feeds a smoke-swirled hooded crow a bite of his mummified moth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You remove a sea blue and green-striped roly poly from in your charmeuse mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You show Anarquendi your green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi grins at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We used to take more pride in our roads.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You listen carefully to Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Why settle for less than that?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Aylysha gives Lady&#039;s Anduin&#039;s a hair a  quick check for unwanted  items.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gratefully say, &amp;quot;Thank you, dear.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi whispers, &amp;quot;Be careful not to get too close to Aharil, his cloak will snatch up your little roly poly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Your welcome.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil leans in toward the cloak, his pointed ears raised ever so slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A raven black spider-shaped clasp crawls up to Aharil&#039;s ear for a moment before returning to his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shudders.&lt;br /&gt;
A sourceless breeze ruffles the hooded crow&#039;s feathers, scattering smoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana realizes that Vanathys is probably a bit unhinged given his evening of murdering brigands and she loves to see him unrestrained. This doesn&#039;t bode well for Qalinor *at all*.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, you say, &amp;quot;All the way from Niima&#039;s temple at Kraken&#039;s Fall.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You tilt your green-striped roly poly side to side, making the light play off it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Interesting specimen.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio removes an ornate delicate case painted with a resplendent sun on the top from in his sturdy leather pack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio carefully examines his delicate case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Insects are not really my area of interest...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;It is fun to assume their aspects though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You offer your green-striped roly poly to Vanathys, who has 30 seconds to accept the offer.  Click CANCEL to prematurely cancel the offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys has accepted your offer and is now holding a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes thoughtfully at his green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just marched off to the east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi scratches his chin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Although I guess spiders aren&#039;t inspects.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi makes a nearly imperceptible motion while whispering a soft phrase...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Given the coloring, it is hard to imagine it is not blessed by the Wavedancer herself. It looks like the color of the ocean.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
Gold-traced pale green ribbons of energy swirl about and coalesce upon Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dull black sheen forms over Anarquendi&#039;s eyes, accompanied by numerous spindly fibers sprouting from his limbs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A peak tiger butts up against Aharil, whiskers twitching as she blinks up at him trustingly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It is a rather unusual color for its type.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys offers you a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.  Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it.  The offer will expire in 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You accept Vanathys&#039;s offer and are now holding a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wind picks up, causing a weathervane to creak as it adjusts to its new heading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod in agreement at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;All the ones in my garden are just regular grey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys amusedly adds, &amp;quot;Sometimes a light grey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I cannot decide if I want to put its likeness on a hat for Lady Bayvel&#039;s Rolton Racing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;When is that this year?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You lament, &amp;quot;Not until later, in the spring.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You put a sea blue and green-striped roly poly in your charmeuse mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Perhaps I&#039;ll take Oirisu...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;I fear the hour has gone late, I must retire for the evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods at Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Though, she will make me wear a horrible hat, won&#039;t she?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hand lowered, Aylysha gives you a subtle wave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Perhaps you should take her instead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You wish, &amp;quot;Rest well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you ask, &amp;quot;I most certainly could but then you would miss the grounds of Veythorne. I imagine you and the lord are somewhat well known to each other given your common interests?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;Unfortunately I think Krystalena and I need to head home for the evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods at Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Oh, it is getting rather late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You agree, &amp;quot;The hour has grown late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves to Krystalena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We may have had more than one chat in the past.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes up into the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi agrees with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hooded crow cocks her head to one side, the feathers of her hood briefly lifting into a spiky brush.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;Have a good night everyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves to Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Oh, yes. It has. I should head back to the... well, I should go make sure that my guest hasn&#039;t had to throw fans at anyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi begins chuckling at Vanathys!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I should check to see if Lord Anduin has taken a break from his guiding the fleet.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus&#039;s group just went west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;He&#039;s been relentless since last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You stand back up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi joins Aharil&#039;s group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I have not slept much.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aharil, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Tomorrow we should check out the Toadwart and the Weald...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Aharil says, &amp;quot;Why? It&#039;s already been searched.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shrugs at Aharil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking kindly to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;Indeed, and not for the common reasons, hrm? Give my regards to your very empty household.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil says, &amp;quot;Have a nice evening everyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You perform a bow characteristic of the Nalfein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi hums distractedly to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil&#039;s group just went west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I am too tired to offer a witty retort.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;A victory, is a victory.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana is very Nalfein that way.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;This log is from Ta&#039;Vaalor on 01-21-2024 from the viewpoint of [[Uniana (prime)|Uniana]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Ambients prior to Vanathys&#039; arrival)&lt;br /&gt;
:A pair of well-dressed elven ladies converse beneath some maple trees.  &amp;quot;I heard he&#039;s reluctant until all this business with that boy and Ardtin is resolved,&amp;quot; the taller one says.  After an understanding nod, the other adds grimly, &amp;quot;Hopefully the former isn&#039;t inadvertently our fault.  I&#039;d hate for that to complicate things.&amp;quot;  The pair glances around and then lowers the rest of the conversation into hushed whispers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:A bandon of soldiers marches west in pairs.  Snippets of quiet chatter sound above the rhythmic pounding of their boots on the cobblestones.  &amp;quot;--scouts to the south ran into a couple.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;--socks are going to be wet for days from--&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;--no answers yet from the one they--&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You see Botanist Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
He appears to be a Vaalor Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
He is taller than average and has a lean, athletic physique.  He appears to have come of age.  He has darkly lined, almond-shaped indigo eyes and golden bronze skin.  He has long, sun-kissed sandy blonde hair twisted into a loose, disheveled bun, with wavy strands escaping to frame his face.  He has a gently angled face, a slim, upturned nose and a well-defined jawline.  A pair of small scars cuts through the pale arch of his right eyebrow.&lt;br /&gt;
He is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
He is wearing a neutral plaid scarf looped about his neck, a vine-carved sephwir longbow slung over his shoulder, a flora-branded myrtle suede back quiver with crossed chest straps, a hip-length taupe suede jacket laced to the elbows, a sage vicuna tunic with a central panel of foliated brocade, a rectangular brushed nubuck kit, a slim pair of chocolate leather pants riveted in ivory roses, and some cire leather boots lightly caked in soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You respectfully greet, &amp;quot;Good evening, Vanathys.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys greets, &amp;quot;Good evening, Lady Anduin.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Good eve.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krystalena smiles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking respectfully to Krystalena, Vanathys greets, &amp;quot;Legionnaire.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You cheerfully observe, &amp;quot;You&#039;ve been hunting!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Aylysha&#039;s group just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys dryly remarks, &amp;quot;Not sure I would call it hunting.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You suggest, &amp;quot;Sporting? Birding?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods to Vanathys in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Krystalena, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;There we go.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Guarding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You curiously repeat, &amp;quot;Guarding.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze with interest at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Mm. Some unwanted visitors yesterday.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;True.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We did check the darkwoode area, and the area with the bobcats as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You worriedly ask, &amp;quot;Did they bother the shop?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;I would think not, that guard in the shop should deter most pirates.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Not the shop. They wandered onto my... ah, property. And from what Prisys has told me, into the compound.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You frown at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You quickly ask, &amp;quot;That&#039;s awful, is everyone alright?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys adds, &amp;quot;Not sure where they thought they were going, but it was certainly a wrong turn from my point of view.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;That is odd.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana glances at the longbow over Vanathys&#039;s shoulder.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The report was of some pirates being seen wandering around reading from a map.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I am sure they realized it was the wrong turn from their point of view too late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m not sure they had time to realize they made a wrong turn.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys quirks a half-smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Does your property connect to the swamp lands of the Toadwort at all?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys looks over at Laermeluion and shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s were they were tracked to last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;m a bit further east and on the north side of the road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice Anarquendi moving stealthily into the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Would that be south of the weald?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;They could have been very lost, either the ones we found or the ones found about Vanathys&#039; property.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Some people just don&#039;t know how to read maps.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Somewhere to that effect.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;If they were meant to be going to the Toadwort, then they were rather lost.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I believe Legionnaire Tylanthriel mentioned seeing pirate on Aradhul road though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Or that might have just been peculiar bandits.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances northeast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys curiously asks, &amp;quot;Really?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha asks, &amp;quot;Would it possible to see where these Pirates fell?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;So it is possible there are bandits and pirates roaming all over the lands.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;He was patrolling and found them wandering.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;With so much trade from Mistwatch it is not surprising that they might even blend in among the traders and crews.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I&#039;d rather not have visitors, and they are... disposed of anyway.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I would say they were scouting for a new location to set up camp.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You think to yourself, &amp;quot;Fertilizer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But I&#039;m not sure if that makes sense with a map in hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(OOC) Vanathys&#039;s player whispers, &amp;quot;LOL.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Unless they are using the map to chart the areas in detail.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seem just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seem walks over to the bench and settles down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, you say, &amp;quot;When I heard the calls yesterday it sounded like they had a specific destination in mind. And then Lady Akenna saw one with a map.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
s&amp;gt;look&lt;br /&gt;
[Ta&#039;Vaalor, King&#039;s Court - 3519] (u14100047)&lt;br /&gt;
Maple trees line the edges of the court, filtering the moonlight cast over the orderly cobblestones.  Several elven guards stand beside a lasimor-framed board, chatting quietly amongst themselves as they scan the gathered crowds.  Darkly stained wooden benches, spaced between gilded pots of dragonstalks, provide a chance for a brief respite from the bustle of the city.  You also see the Seem disk, a sleek golden ferret that is lying down, a blue wolf, a peak tiger, a pile of freshly fallen snow and a wooden barrel.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Seem who is sitting, Orssus, Squire Legionnaire Aylysha, Botanist Vanathys, Legionnaire Krystalena, First Legionnaire Laermeluion&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It would seem this isn&#039;t as isolated of an incident as we were hoping.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you ask, &amp;quot;The compound is on guard now as well?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Though it was a bit odd that a couple of sea-faring types were so deep in the woods, on both counts.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;When the pirates first appeared; weren&#039;t they, and the Cobalt Vipers, trying to find something?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys assures, &amp;quot;They did not get far.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You let out a sigh of relief.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;You do not want to be on the wrong end of a Greengair trap.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The pirates first appeared as a means to distract from the cobalt vipers I believe.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The pirates were cooperating to potentially smuggle goods off shore that the bandits stole from the merchants arriving in Mistwatch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;You destroyed the Cobalt Vipers though, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Hopefully those little gnomes that stayed with me will be able to cause enough trouble...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You glance over your shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You unsuccessfully try to stifle your grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes up into the heavens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We destroyed the camp we founds, and killed their leader.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;The leader of the Cobalt Vipers was killed, but who knows if another bandit took their place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;If I get hit with one more tornado of leaves, I will personally hunt you down, Watcher.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The voice of Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;There was a pirate captain present, but they got away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But there was word of three Captains if I remember correctly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;I claim no responsibility for their actions.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, perhaps the pirates are picking up where the bandits left off, if they were in league with them, as you all say.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys allows, &amp;quot;Or it&#039;s entirely unrelated.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Off the top of my head Cooper was the name of the pirate captain we encountered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;&#039;or was it Copper?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You muse, &amp;quot;Terrible name for a pirate captain.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;It was mentioned the pirates were masked.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But they weren&#039;t wearing the cobalt viper colors.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods in agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Did you get a good look at the clothe the pirates that tresspassed on your property were wearing?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You cock your head at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The ones encountered last night were wearing black.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;No cobalt, if that&#039;s your question.  I went through their things, but there was nothing of note.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I wonder if we are seeing potential recruits to this new outfit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Maybe prospects are given a vague map and if they make it there, they are allow to join.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;They just simply seemed... Ah, I don&#039;t know. Out of place?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;That&#039;s most pirates on dry land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Not very good in the woods. I could hear them coming from quite a distance.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Orssus says, &amp;quot;Seen Krol pirates all the way up in the mountains before.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;They certainly did not seem inclined to be stealthy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil suddenly fades into view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;They seemed to be recruiting a few months ago as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;You said you tracked them into the Toadwort? They may not be stealthy, but they know how to lose a trail. Or it was sheer luck.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion asks, &amp;quot;Have there been any further reports of merchants being harassed?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;Forgive me if it has been mentioned, but we came a little late. There was mention of a map, was that ever recovered?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The search party last night say tracks toward the toadwort, Squire Legionnnaire Stavio encountered a few pirates in the swamp of the Toadwort.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You look at Anarquendi and shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It&#039;s very difficult to track through water and swamps.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But by the time the captive was taken into custody and I was able to join Legionnaire Tylanthriel and Krystalena to search the area it was all too much of a soupy mess out there.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the hooded crow bobs her head and lets out a series of percussive, two-toned chirps, threads of smoke drift from her open beak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi works his fingers under his sephwir circlet and scratches his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly to the hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It throws off the scent if you&#039;re using tracking animals, and the terrain reforms quickly or fills with water when it&#039;s disturbed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A peak tiger blinks impassively and lets out a raspy utterance of hunger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Anarquendi scratches the peak tiger behind the ears, the feline tilts her head into Anarquendi&#039;s hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;And there&#039;s a bunch of frenetic goblins out there doing all manner of chaos.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It&#039;d be difficult to tell what way they went.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods at Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha agrees with Laermeluion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;It seems they have gone well beyond simply bothering merchants, that much can be assumed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I mean, there&#039;s still some harassing happening at the port, from what the guards at the shop tell me, but that&#039;s been going on for months now.  I&#039;ve not seen much activity on Neartofar Road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Most of the harassing I imagine is coming from the riots.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t think that&#039;s always the case.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Oh, captives were mentioned as well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil frowns.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Legionnaire Tylanthriel said something about seeing captives last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lowering her head, a smoke-swirled hooded crow rocks her body and caws three times in succession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;But I&#039;m not sure of the details of that.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana is beginning to wonder if this is giving Illistim a case not to want to treaty with House Vaalor.  It comes off as very messy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I know we saw someone being pushed aboard a ship a few weeks ago.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Drunk urging or against their will?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at a smoke-swirled hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys pets a smoke-swirled hooded crow, which nuzzles his hand softly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Laermeluion, Anarquendi asks, &amp;quot;That was when the handkerchief was found, yes?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Looked like a young male elf, malnourished could be how you might describe him.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;And he was being partially dragged aboard as the pirates fled our defense of Mistwatch.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha blinks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, I&#039;ve dragged people off before because they were too slow.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you explain, &amp;quot;It was quite hard to see, it was dark and they were far away.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;We found the torn gentian blue silk handkerchief with the letter G embroidered on it at the end of that same pier.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys mutters, &amp;quot;I hope I do not regret buying a shop in that port.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you reassure, &amp;quot;The Gilded Talon has a business office in the port. They have never had any trouble.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Orssus asks, &amp;quot;Do you think Ta&#039;Vaalor should try and negotiate ownership of the port?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys casts a quick glance toward the keep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Orssus, you say, &amp;quot;There is a lot of freedom in keeping the port privately owned.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking carefully to Orssus, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t think it should have been allowed to be built under private ownership in the first place.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana was trying to be diplomatic. She isn&#039;t sure Vanathys&#039; feelings about Qalinor, even given his closeness with Oirisu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;That would certainaly would make things easier.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking amusedly to you, Vanathys remarks, &amp;quot;Freedom for who, though?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;If the port was owned by Ta&#039;Vaalor there would likely not be the pirate problem currently.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;For the crews and companies who do business there. For the government, who can levy taxes against the private industry and take little to no responsibility for the problems.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Freedom for the pirates of the seas, too, it would seem.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Even still, one can&#039;t just go around taking other people&#039;s things like a child plucking a toy out of another&#039;s hand.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Yes there  needs to be rules.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;The Sea of Mists must be one of the most dangerous due to the protection of the Gilded Talon, at times the Sentinel Fleet and not to mention getting through Nalfein&#039;s naval presence to the south, and including the natural defenses of the fog and low banks. There has to be something greater than simple piracy at hand. They would have a much easier time with some of the less guarded outposts, even if the plunder is not as grand. They would at least likely leave with lives intact.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;The issue is the port doesn&#039;t have the means to currently defend themselves effectively.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana strokes the tip of her origami thorn thoughtfully along her jaw.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko just arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko asks, &amp;quot;Party?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys allows, &amp;quot;They do seem rather persistent, considering the consequences continually inflicted upon them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Hucko drops his sonic tiger-claw, it hovers in mid-air and gently bobs up and down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Not realy a party.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking kindly to Hucko, you explain, &amp;quot;We are discussing the presence and persistence of pirates as of late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko says, &amp;quot;Its pretty crowded.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Just a tad.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I do not mean to disparage the efforts of the Gilded Talon, of course. I imagine it would be worse without it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You look at Vanathys and shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;But the First Legionnaire is likely right. The port does not have the means to defend itself effectively.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi reaches over and leans a hand on the peak tiger&#039;s back, rubbing her gently.  The peak tiger looks toward him and purrs in response.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you reassure, &amp;quot;Not at all, you and the First Legionnaire are right. My lord husband agrees. I believe he means to send a proposal to the keep regarding his suggestions of safety measures.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just came marching in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods to Stavio in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio and Anarquendi clasp forearms in greeting.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio gazes in wonder at his surroundings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I wonder how much of it is our responsibility, though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;But even still, all of that requires funding and ---yes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You pleasantly quip, &amp;quot;The freedoms of a private port.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Hucko just went east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I return to that it should never have been allowed in the first place. Now resolving the issues is more complicated, I imagine.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A pair of young reservists walk by, their hands resting on their swords with pride.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I generally stay out of politics, but I would prefer I did not have pirates stumbling onto my property.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;Any intervention will mean more than just that of the port itself too.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You disapprovingly murmur, &amp;quot;That road.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys agrees, &amp;quot;I have been complaining about the road for years.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You tilt your head up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just marched off to the south.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking gently to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;I hope your household was none too bothered.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys admits, &amp;quot;Not much of a household to speak of, in truth. I don&#039;t like all the...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys ponders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha glances at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Clutter.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi appears to be trying hard not to grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I was going to say bother, but I don&#039;t like that either.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A unit of Vaalorian soldiers, resplendent in their crimson and gold armor, marches through at a rapid pace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You curiously ask, &amp;quot;No guests to worry about then?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You swap your origami thorn from your left to your right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys smirks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana uses the tip of her nails to adjust the point of her origami thorn.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;No one was bothered. The intruders were dispatched of quickly enough.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;All roads have issues.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze up into the sky and see stars sparkling in the darkness...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twelve stars form a faint but jagged pattern in the skies, the vague outline of a six-talon claw barely visible in the inky darkness of the night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil cleans his spidersilk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a mummified cricket off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped grasshopper off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped beetle off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a dried fly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a mummified moth off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a dried cricket off of his spidersilk cloak and drops it.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil picks a silk-wrapped butterfly off of his spidersilk cloak.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil dusts himself off.&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil drops a silk-wrapped butterfly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi glances at Aharil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion glances down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shakes his head, clucking his tongue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys pointedly says, &amp;quot;We didn&#039;t used to have issues.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Thats alot of bugs.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana notes which side of the Sovereign debate Vanathys&#039; bread is buttered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi whispers something to Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A complete and utter feeling of smugness envelops you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We&#039;ve too many roads in disrepair.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Only in dire straits would I eat those.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You diplomatically ask, &amp;quot;Running on a platform of trade should mean an increase in state coffers, shouldn&#039;t it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha asks, &amp;quot;How would you pay to maintain the roads?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Well, I stay out of politics, but I would imagine so.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys replies, &amp;quot;We are not exactly hurting economically.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You think to yourself, &amp;quot;You mean ceasing trade with the shanty halfling gambling town didn&#039;t financially ruin an elven City-State? I for one am *shocked*.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi glances down.&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures while summoning the spirits of nature to his aid...&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
A strong breeze suddenly picks up and begins to blow around in different directions through the area!&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped butterfly is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped butterfly is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi dusts off his hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A strong breeze continues to swirl through the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dried cricket is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown north!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just came marching in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio checks his equipment, adjusting and rearranging his gear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Nothing to do with the children&#039;s behavior, you said?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A silk-wrapped beetle is suddenly picked up by the wind and blown west!&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi makes a simple gesture, and the strong breeze stops as suddenly as it arrived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Krystalena says, &amp;quot;Critters flying everywhere.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Just because I showed them out to do something, doesn&#039;t mean I can control WHEN they do it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi rocks back on his heels.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hooded crow ruffles her feathers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, you warn, &amp;quot;If one of those ends up in my hair.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi picks up a silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You narrow your eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi offers you a silk-wrapped grasshopper.  Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it.  The offer will expire in 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi flashes a wide grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You feel the blood drain from your face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;It&#039;s probably dead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You accept Anarquendi&#039;s offer and are now holding a silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You swap a pristine blush rose origami thorn to your left hand and a silk-wrapped grasshopper to your right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You feed your hooded crow a bite of your silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
Roundtime: 3 sec.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod to the hooded crow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Yes but  wagons, carts and mounts   damage  roads.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Vanathys laughs, &amp;quot;It is amazing they still let you in the gates.  Or do you have to sneak in?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
s&amp;gt;feed crow&lt;br /&gt;
You feed your hooded crow the last of your silk-wrapped grasshopper.&lt;br /&gt;
Roundtime: 3 sec.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking in Elven to Laermeluion, Stavio says, &amp;quot;When you search toadwort did you see the shed , it could be someone held or hiding in it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion nods at Stavio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;I noticed it the other night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;On occasion I have been... encouraged to not come inside.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;It looks ramshackled and destroyed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;But most of the time it was mostly suggestion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Aharil says, &amp;quot;Most of the time.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys plucks a silk-wrapped bug out of one of the pots of dragonstalks, then pinches a couple of dead buds off the plant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio nods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Roads can have regular repairs done to them when they are damaged.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You hear very soft footsteps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You notice Anarquendi moving stealthily into the area&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi carefully inspects his mummified moth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ribbons of smoke lazily drift from the hooded crow&#039;s feathers and coil sinuously on the air before dispersing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi feeds a smoke-swirled hooded crow a bite of his mummified moth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You remove a sea blue and green-striped roly poly from in your charmeuse mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You show Anarquendi your green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi grins at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We used to take more pride in our roads.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You listen carefully to Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aylysha, Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Why settle for less than that?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Aylysha gives Lady&#039;s Anduin&#039;s a hair a  quick check for unwanted  items.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gratefully say, &amp;quot;Thank you, dear.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi whispers, &amp;quot;Be careful not to get too close to Aharil, his cloak will snatch up your little roly poly.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Aylysha says, &amp;quot;Your welcome.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil leans in toward the cloak, his pointed ears raised ever so slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A raven black spider-shaped clasp crawls up to Aharil&#039;s ear for a moment before returning to his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shudders.&lt;br /&gt;
A sourceless breeze ruffles the hooded crow&#039;s feathers, scattering smoke.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana realizes that Vanathys is probably a bit unhinged given his evening of murdering brigands and she loves to see him unrestrained. This doesn&#039;t bode well for Qalinor *at all*.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, you say, &amp;quot;All the way from Niima&#039;s temple at Kraken&#039;s Fall.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You tilt your green-striped roly poly side to side, making the light play off it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Interesting specimen.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio removes an ornate delicate case painted with a resplendent sun on the top from in his sturdy leather pack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Stavio carefully examines his delicate case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Insects are not really my area of interest...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;It is fun to assume their aspects though.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You offer your green-striped roly poly to Vanathys, who has 30 seconds to accept the offer.  Click CANCEL to prematurely cancel the offer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys has accepted your offer and is now holding a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes thoughtfully at his green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Squire Legionnaire Stavio just marched off to the east.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi scratches his chin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Although I guess spiders aren&#039;t inspects.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi makes a nearly imperceptible motion while whispering a soft phrase...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;Given the coloring, it is hard to imagine it is not blessed by the Wavedancer herself. It looks like the color of the ocean.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi gestures.&lt;br /&gt;
Gold-traced pale green ribbons of energy swirl about and coalesce upon Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dull black sheen forms over Anarquendi&#039;s eyes, accompanied by numerous spindly fibers sprouting from his limbs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A peak tiger butts up against Aharil, whiskers twitching as she blinks up at him trustingly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;It is a rather unusual color for its type.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys offers you a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.  Click ACCEPT to accept the offer or DECLINE to decline it.  The offer will expire in 30 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You accept Vanathys&#039;s offer and are now holding a sea blue and green-striped roly poly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The wind picks up, causing a weathervane to creak as it adjusts to its new heading.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod in agreement at Vanathys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;All the ones in my garden are just regular grey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys amusedly adds, &amp;quot;Sometimes a light grey.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I cannot decide if I want to put its likeness on a hat for Lady Bayvel&#039;s Rolton Racing.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;When is that this year?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You lament, &amp;quot;Not until later, in the spring.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You put a sea blue and green-striped roly poly in your charmeuse mantle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Perhaps I&#039;ll take Oirisu...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha says, &amp;quot;I fear the hour has gone late, I must retire for the evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods at Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys asks, &amp;quot;Though, she will make me wear a horrible hat, won&#039;t she?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod understandingly at Aylysha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hand lowered, Aylysha gives you a subtle wave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Perhaps you should take her instead.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You wish, &amp;quot;Rest well.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aylysha nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you ask, &amp;quot;I most certainly could but then you would miss the grounds of Veythorne. I imagine you and the lord are somewhat well known to each other given your common interests?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;Unfortunately I think Krystalena and I need to head home for the evening.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi nods at Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion says, &amp;quot;Oh, it is getting rather late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You agree, &amp;quot;The hour has grown late.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves to Krystalena.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;We may have had more than one chat in the past.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys gazes up into the sky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi agrees with you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hooded crow cocks her head to one side, the feathers of her hood briefly lifting into a spiky brush.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus says, &amp;quot;Have a good night everyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves to Orssus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;Oh, yes. It has. I should head back to the... well, I should go make sure that my guest hasn&#039;t had to throw fans at anyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi begins chuckling at Vanathys!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;I should check to see if Lord Anduin has taken a break from his guiding the fleet.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Orssus&#039;s group just went west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;He&#039;s been relentless since last night.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You shake your head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You stand back up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys nods to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi joins Aharil&#039;s group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I have not slept much.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Aharil, Anarquendi says, &amp;quot;Tomorrow we should check out the Toadwart and the Weald...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil glances at Anarquendi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to Anarquendi, Aharil says, &amp;quot;Why? It&#039;s already been searched.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi shrugs at Aharil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of his nose.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking kindly to Vanathys, you say, &amp;quot;Indeed, and not for the common reasons, hrm? Give my regards to your very empty household.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys glances at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil says, &amp;quot;Have a nice evening everyone.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi waves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys clears his throat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You perform a bow characteristic of the Nalfein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anarquendi hums distractedly to himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aharil&#039;s group just went west.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Speaking to you, Vanathys says, &amp;quot;I am too tired to offer a witty retort.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Laermeluion chuckles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You say, &amp;quot;A victory, is a victory.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vanathys shakes his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana is very Nalfein that way.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Onnah&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[wizard]] who desires to become one of Elanthian&#039;s most respected fashion designers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After being forced from the home of her grandmother, Onnah looked to the west for opportunity and a chance to make her mark. She has proven herself incredibly hard-working, applying herself to the mastery of tailoring and cobbling, spending hours performing tasks to pay for her apprenticeships. Her resourcefulness is often evident in many of her designs opting to repurpose objects or overlooked materials into her pieces. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite wanting to be a well-known designer, Onnah is quite the homebody with little interest in society functions or living a life a luxury. She is often accompanied by an overfed stoat who proved too intelligent to make into an accessory, though he bares the name &amp;quot;Muffler.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Onnah Somsprey the Modiste.&lt;br /&gt;
:She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is tall.  She appears to be very young.  She has ultramarine-framed smoky grey eyes and unlined eburnean skin.  She has shoulder length, silky vivid blonde hair parted to the side and pinned back with a calligraphy-inked vellum fascinator encircled by a quill of nacreous blue waterweb.  She has an angular face and thin pointed ears.  Her extremely long eyelashes fan out around her eyes in ovals of dark blonde.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing some tri-strand earrings threaded with gilt porcelain shards, a pleated matte silk waistcoat over a narrow cobalt jacquard dress that flares into a fanning skirt of six ruffled tiers over some vivid watercolor silk petticoats, and a pair of white suede half-boots raised by lacquered cigar box wedges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Intro Story==&lt;br /&gt;
“Uncle,” Onnah’s voice was quiet and she struggled with unease about how to continue, “has...has she passed?” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The portly elf in front of her continued to sob for a moment before managing a nod. Onnah looked about the sitting room at a loss. Her uncle had never shown any kind of emotion or passion about anything except a good feast or a new piece of jewelry. She creased her brow and reached forward to place a hand on his shoulder. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Doing her best to sound comforting, “I see that her loss has struck you very deeply, Uncle. I am sure she kn--”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“You daft girl!” He sharply cut her off, “your sour Grandmother got her last laugh. She left us with nothing. She’s been living in debt these past decades. The creditors will take it all!” The sobs came again and he struggled to speak, “we’re ruined, we have nothing. The house, the furniture, the jewels, the ships,” he paused to shake pitifully, “gone. All gone.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Onnah fought against the smirk she felt pulling against her lips. Just then, a harsh *clacking* rhythm came from outside the door. Onnah adopted a neutral expression as her aunt entered the room and took note that she had already seized the opportunity to change into mourning clothes. “Ever the actress,” she mused in her head. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The black-clad elf took in a dramatic sigh and avoided looking at her mewling husband. “They will be here within the week to collect what is owed. You are allowed to pack one trunk of personal belongings.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Where will we go?” a hint of worry was evident in Onnah’s question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We?” Her aunt shook her head and moved closer, “there is no we, Onnah. There are no longer the means to keep you.” Despite being shorter than Onnah, she lifted her niece’s chin with her manicured nails, “my advice is to find a rich, old widow desperate in need of companionship and latch on. You are vaguely pretty and your manners are suitable enough that the senile would not mind you. Or if you can, find a merchant husband to take care of you. Surely no good family will have you now.” She lowered her hand and gestured while she continued, “no prospects, no fortune and this family name now carries nothing but debt.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Onnah protested, “My Grandfather was one of the greatest generals that ev--”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her aunt shushed her with a grin and a knowing shake of the head. “And who cares about such things in this modern era? Besides, most all that good will was spent when your parents, well, it is best to leave all this behind you. Better to be a simple nobody than a disgraced somebody.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Relenting, Onnah turned to look out the window but the coastline seemed of less interest to her than the miraculous weave of the curtains and how elegantly they had been draped.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cydris&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[rogue]] whose spirit of discovery and duty to send souls into the realm of Gosaena has her traveling across Elanthia. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the past several years Cydris has been working as a private tutor to a handful of noble families within the walls of Vornavis who have found it fashionable to employ an elven professor. When not teaching, she dedicates herself to recovery efforts for lost or stolen artifacts and goods of rare value. Her specialty deals in post-Despana era burial grounds and elven funeral customs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of late she&#039;s been operating with a group tracking the migratory patterns of trolls across Western Elanthia and gauging the timeline of their expansion through a collection of burial remnants. Though she&#039;s rarely afforded much leisure time, she will occasionally spend it on the Amaranth Farmstead in Ta&#039;Vaalor, conversing with the owner&#039;s cousin [[Virion (platinum)|Virion]] and beating him consistently at chess. &lt;br /&gt;

She has waist-grazing, curly mahogany brown hair pulled back away from the face by a trio of woad blue shadowsilk fillets painted in watercolor indigo-spired acistiras, the rest plaited into a fishtail braid that hangs down to the small of her back.  She has an angular face and classically elegant, chiseled high cheekbones.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is in good shape&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing a silver flame-shaped pendant strung on a thin strand of twine, an extremely short jacket of rigid russet tweed, a side-laced dark leather underbust corset over a waist-knotted ecru silk blouse, some fitted cobalt suede pants fastened with ivory buttons, and some light caramel oiled leather knee-boots buckled with nielloed silver.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Onnah&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[wizard]] who desires to become one of Elanthian&#039;s most respected fashion designers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After being forced from the home of her grandmother, Onnah looked to the west for opportunity and a chance to make her mark. She has proven herself incredibly hard-working, applying herself to the mastery of tailoring and cobbling, spending hours performing tasks to pay for her apprenticeships. Her resourcefulness is often evident in many of her designs opting to repurpose objects or overlooked materials into her pieces. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite wanting to be a well-known designer, Onnah is quite the homebody with little interest in society functions or living a life a luxury. She is often accompanied by an overfed stoat who proved too intelligent to make into an accessory, though he bares the name &amp;quot;Muffler.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is tall.  She appears to be very young.  She has ultramarine-framed smoky grey eyes and unlined eburnean skin.  She has shoulder length, silky vivid blonde hair parted to the side and pinned back with a calligraphy-inked vellum fascinator encircled by a quill of nacreous blue waterweb.  She has an angular face and thin pointed ears.  Her extremely long eyelashes fan out around her eyes in ovals of dark blonde.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Cydris&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[rogue]] whose spirit of discovery and duty to send souls into the realm of Gosaena has her traveling across Elanthia. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the past several years Cydris has been working as a private tutor to a handful of noble families within the walls of Vornavis who have found it fashionable to employ an elven professor. In her free time, she dedicates herself to recovery efforts for lost or stolen artifacts and goods of rare value. Her specialty deals in post-Despana era burial grounds and elven funeral customs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of late she&#039;s been operating with a group tracking the migratory patterns of trolls across Western Elanthia and gauging the timeline of their expansion through a collection of burial remnants. Though she&#039;s rarely afforded much leisure time, she will occasionally spend it on the Amaranth Farmstead in Ta&#039;Vaalor, conversing with the owner&#039;s cousin [[Virion (platinum)|Virion]] and beating him consistently at chess. &lt;br /&gt;

==Appearance==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Cydris.&lt;br /&gt;
:She appears to be an Illistim Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is average height.  She appears to be very young.  She has nephrite-flecked cobalt blue eyes and pallid-washed skin.  She has waist-grazing, curly mahogany brown hair pulled back away from the face by a trio of woad blue shadowsilk fillets painted in watercolor indigo-spired acistiras, the rest plaited into a fishtail braid that hangs down to the small of her back.  She has an angular face and classically elegant, chiseled high cheekbones.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is in good shape&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing a silver flame-shaped pendant strung on a thin strand of twine, an extremely short jacket of rigid russet tweed, a side-laced dark leather underbust corset over a waist-knotted ecru silk blouse, some fitted cobalt suede pants fastened with ivory buttons, and some light caramel oiled leather knee-boots buckled with nielloed silver.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
The Illithien Aerie was purchased by the [[Ilyan Syndicate]] in the year 5121 and extensively renovated over the course of several months, opening in the spring of 5122.  Following an intimate series of soft openings, the Syndicate formally opened the Aerie in the Autumn of 5122 with an event series entitled [[Ilyan_Syndicate/Autumn_on_the_Mountain|Autumn on the Mountain]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Illithien family of Ta&#039;Ardenai graciously agreed to sell the disused estate to the Syndicate, and in our restoration process, led by [[Lucrecea_(prime)|Lucrecea]] Ruin Ardenai, great pains were taken to honor the history of the Aerie, whilst modernizing and refreshing it for use as a gathering place and cultural hub.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the tumultuous year of 5123, the Syndicate is pleased to welcome all those interested in Elven culture back to its grounds this autumn as we reflect on a hoped for Return to Stability.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Wedding Officiants&#039;&#039;&#039; are automated NPCs that will preside over weddings that are purchased in the [[Simucoin]] store.  You can select your officiant with your [[Wedding Planner]] in a [[Wedding Hall]].  All officiants will go to all [[Wedding Glade|Wedding Glades]]. Weddings can also have player characters selected as an officiant by selecting &amp;quot;NONE&amp;quot; at the Wedding Planner. To have a PC officiate your wedding you must POINT an invitation at them, GIVE it to them. After they accept the invitation they can then NOD at the invitation to confirm that they are registered to officiate. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The city seemed quiet for midday. She could hear the wheels of a random cart on a var over or the faint ethereal tinkling of silver chimes hung on balconies high above but it was also subdued enough that the rustle of silk coming from the skirt of her cotehardie was the most prevalent noise as she moved purposefully towards Ta&#039;Illistim Keep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The display along the grand staircase leading up to the keep doors had grown significantly in the last week. Bouquets of all kinds were mostly banded in pavonated silk or curled silver ribbons for house Javilerre, but some still were draped in blue and gold out of respect for Kasendra. Sunflowers and mournblooms, what a mismatched pairing, Uniana thought. She glanced down at the wreath in her hand that Missoni had so expertly crafted and gently attended to a few petals that had gotten compressed in transit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With respect she laid it atop the pile of florals and as she backed away something blinded her briefly. Squinting, Uniana cocked her head and saw numerous shimmering objects among the offerings. Handheld and pocket mirrors placed symbolically, each one shattered or cracked.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The smell of coffee reached her first, overtaking the briny scent of the incoming tide. Barely a speckle of silvered orange came up behind the galleon. The promise of sunrise was made less impressive by the multitude of lanterns that adorned the ship, hung over the railing and just barely skirted above the dark water of the bay. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We should go ashore,” came Teveriel’s voice as he pushed the mug of coffee towards her, “send our own words to the Mirror and perhaps to the family Javilerre.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana took the coffee and stared down, her eyes fixed on the mellow water over the side of the ship. And with realization she added sadly, “And Lady Bayvel.” She took a long sip from the mug and glanced upwards toward her husband, “can we please just stay out a little longer? I want to be able to say we did everything we could to recover her.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teveriel drew in a deep breath and then called out in Elven, “one more chime of the bells before we go ashore!  Eyes on the water, keep the lanterns full of oil!” Some of the crew responded with simple verbal acknowledgment though most were silent. For those who had been crewing the Gilded Talon’s fleet out of Solhaven, the winter had proved harsh and unforgiving. It suddenly felt as though spring was never going to come.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:TeverielUniana.png|thumb|Uniana and Teveriel on their way to the Festival of the Fallen ball, illustrated by Ashley Lange.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Lady Uniana Anduin Nalfein&#039;&#039;&#039; is a prominent socialite and currently maintains partial citizenship in [[Ta&#039;Vaalor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana was the only child of Lady Vlienive and Lord Chengric Le’Gondren [[Nalfein]]. Her father a minor noble and aspiring vintner, her mother of an ancient noble house and a former courtesan. She is the cousin of [[Lysistrata]], [[Lear]] and [[Vyctus]] Scio on her mother&#039;s side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she had come of age she was inducted to the Order of the Lily, a revered training house for the courtesan arts, though it was alleged to create operatives in all matters of the clandestine. When it was discovered that she had a latent aptitude for manipulating air currents she briefly was put into their elemancer program but her ability to pull and weave the flows of essence was sloppy and she seemed uninterested in attempting to apply herself to their rigorous research requirements. Even still, more recently she became something of a student of Lord [[Veythorne]], prior to his reclusion, learning more about the theology of air as well as the physical properties of the element. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After graduating from the Order of the Lily, she spent several years entertaining and offering companionship to the upper echelons of the City-States&#039; society. Hearsay suggests that sometime around 5102 her frequent trips to the West were due to her supposed involvement with the [[Dark Alliance]] and that she was perhaps intimately connected to the Painlord [[Eryael]]. It is rumored that at some point around 5107 Ta&#039;Illistim put her on trial for her supposed crimes towards the City-State during the second [[Griffin Sword Saga|Griffin Sword War]]. This could explain her complete disappearance from society and the gossip that she was serving as a lady&#039;s maid. At the end of summer 5121 she reappeared into society on retainer under the mysterious &amp;quot;H&amp;quot;. This would be her last assignation and she retired from her Order before the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She married Lord [[Teveriel (prime)|Teveriel]] Anduin Vaalor on Ivastaen the Twenty-First of 5122 and using her passion of cartography and understanding of air currents serves as the Chief Navigator for his fleet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Lady Uniana Le&#039;Gondren Nalfein the Socialite. &lt;br /&gt;
:She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is shorter than average.  She appears to have come of age.  She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin.  She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair twisted into loose ringlets.  She has an unlined face and subtly arched eyebrows.  Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.&lt;br /&gt;
:She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is holding an alum-slated viridian silk fan in her right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing a fanning necklet of cabochon emeralds and minute black pearls, a shoulder-gathered emerald satin chiton with a dramatic plunging neckline, an upward terminating faenor cincher of wrought thorn vines, a domed rich viridian faenor signet ring, and some soft ebon suede ankle-tied sandals beaded with oblong nephrites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;an alum-slated viridian silk fan&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Intricately etched to mimic the curve, length, and texture of a rose vine, three of the fan&#039;s alum slats are imbedded with tiny malachite chips, while the remaining three are carved into a twisted thorn shape.  Viridian marbrinus silk stretches between beautifully wrought slats and is painted with a blooming ebon rose, whose petals are appliqued with crushed velvet.  A pair of malachite cabochons is set within the alum handle, which is fitted with an ebon-veined viridian silk wrist strap.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;a domed rich viridian faenor signet ring&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;The signet is made of faenor in the design of an elven-style crest, divided in the imperial style. The background is composed of green jade with a single blood red spiral curling from the top to encompass a black rose. Set below the rose is a thistle of deep amethyst accented with hues of blood red, resting atop a black dagger. Flanked to the right side is a stalk of golden foxglove resting on an ebon wine goblet and to the left is a pure white lily with a blood red center.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wedding Attire===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Lady Uniana Anduin Nalfein.&lt;br /&gt;
:She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is shorter than average and has a nipped waist silhouette.  She appears to have come of age.  She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin.  She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair falling about her body in fragile tufts with some speckled pale apple blossoms amid the large, soft curls.  She has an unlined face and subtly arched eyebrows.  Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.  She has some helical nacreous vaalin chains adorned with some gold-dipped feathers dangling from her ears.&lt;br /&gt;
:She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is holding a feathery silk-tied bouquet of vibrant greenery and pale blossoms in her left hand.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing a hair-thin chain of electrum and nacre resting against the sternum, a long vert train of tonal silk forming dark-hearted roses and gilt-traced dragonstalks over a tiered-hem hunter green chiffon gown hung from two wispy diaphanous panels, a floriated petite lasimor band gracing the left ring finger, a voluminous jade silk dupioni underskirt warmed by honey sheens, and a pair of thick cork-heeled sandals secured by a cagelike array of gold samite straps.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Sometime in 5105&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was in his nature to approach with humility but his demeanor now might even border on timid perhaps even fearful. After a lifetime of service and the multitude of times entering somewhere unheard, there was so much effort extended now into being respectful and quiet, almost silent. The study was darker than it should have been, a symptom of the prompt dismissal of any who dare to enter. The concentration of light was focused on a heavy wood desk. The silhouette of a fragile female elf leaned against the edge of the tabletop focused on what lay beneath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without looking up from the map that she so intently studied, her voice questioned with a tiredness she either couldn&#039;t manage to hide or no longer cared to, &amp;quot;what?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recent intruder offered in a gentle tone, &amp;quot;can I get you something? When was the last time you accepted a meal?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though her fist tightened her tone did not change as she repeated, &amp;quot;what is it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no getting around what had to be said and it felt like even a sigh of exasperation would be a wasted breath. He mustered all of the courage and strength that he had gained from being in the employ of such an infamous creature and explained, &amp;quot;The bank will loan no more on your credit and your accounts are exhausted. Perhaps it is time to consider calling off the expedition.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, the female elf lifted her face and settled her heavy purple-toned gaze upon her servant. Her demeanor was neither cold nor angry, she spoke evenly almost as a matter of fact, &amp;quot;then levy the estates, the vineyard, the lake house, sell the galleon. Clean out every closet, every jewelry box, anything of value that is remotely in my possession.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As her servant opened his mouth in what was sure to be a cautious protest she cut him off and made her intent clear once again. &amp;quot;The only conclusion to this endeavor is finding Eryael Ladrinyth alive.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Harsh, shrill air whipped over her face with a violent sting, bringing tears to her blood-shot eyes. The cold of the mountain made the muscles of her face burn deep into the nerves. With a hopeless sigh, she turned and looked at the darkness that surrounded her, icy crags shrouded in grey fog. It would not be much different than the maze exercises her Order had insisted that she practice. Her watery gaze studied the incline for an extended moment and then the lithe elf shut her eyes. Inside her mind a pattern developed --each twist and turn, each rock and ravine she would be able to surmount and comb through. After calculating erratically the position of where the Black Temple had fallen, she began her ascension up the Dragonspine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Her movement was sluggish as she trudged along in the deep snow, sinking into her knees with each step. The thin silk skirt that was draped over her legs was dampened by the wet fall. Like a thousand slivers digging into her feet, she could feel every crack and point of unleveled ground beneath her. Feebly, she tried to keep her hands warm by sheltering them within her sleeves but it was only a matter of hours before the painful sensations that plagued them were replaced with consuming numbness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It was difficult for her to focus on the white-capped peaks ahead, even where she stood now the wind howled and clawed at her exposed skin. She took a gasping breath of frozen air that made her lungs burn in her chest and cried out, agonized voice echoing among the looming alpines, “Eryael!”&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Warm tears flooded her eyes until they breached the edges, succumbing to the frigid environment. Stumbling under a large conifer the girl huddled against the tree to shield herself from the unrelenting chill. The wind peeled at the layers of her cracked lips, while she parted them to murmur, “I will find you…”.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Autumn 5105&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How long had it been since she was found atop the side of the mountain? When she was found her extremities were a dark blue-purple with frostbite, malnourished and near completely under the influence of Zelia. She was recovering but her delicate elven features were now gaunt and sickly, her lips still healing from the deep chapped cracks. In the past months she spent most of her time laying on a chaise longue next to the window in her room that faced the Dragonspine. Days were spent in eerie silence as she looked at the mountain forlornly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all this time, she finally sent for him in the midst of getting her ringleted hair brushed. She did not dismiss her handmaiden as she spoke but neither turned to look at him either. “Is it true?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He took a step where she reclined and nodded to dismiss the handmaiden. He claimed the brush from her before she left and began to pull through the black cherry-hued strands with a loving gentleness. “The City-State is calling in your loans,” pausing to add for clarity, “all of them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made no sound but stretched out her legs from next to her, extending them to the end of the chaise. “Then we return home, for now,” she responded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hesitation was almost paralyzing as her servant spoke, “there is more. Our sources have stated they have seen a warrant being drafted at the magistrate’s office. They know that the expedition is not a recovery but a rescue. Evidence has mounted and it is only a matter of days before you are formally charged with treason and high-crimes against the Shining City. It seems reasonable that the Sapphire Guard will be at our door within the week.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He couldn’t see her smile but he could hear the musing in her soft voice, “then we had better pack fast.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idle brushing continued as he delivered a grim counter, “we would have been safe from extradition had the state of the accounts not been so vast. The debt is nearly immeasurable. Nalfein will deliver us without hesitation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh,” was the simple reply and it was followed by a length of silence with only the subtle rustle of the horsehair brush through her dark red hair. Then she sat up, pulling away and stated with no urgency, “have Samiel lay out the cardinal dupioni silk gown, the gold and eahnor pendant that goes with it. Then I want you to give whatever we have left to the remaining servants and dismiss them under the cover of night.” Standing up then, she turns towards her servant, “you have been the truest and given more than I ever had the right to ask for. There is a bottle in the cellar that is marked with a faint golden script near the bottom of the middle rack. Inside are the details of a seaside villa that has no ties to me or my family in the Bay of Black Pearls. It is yours with my deepest gratitude.” Another pause was taken so that she could place her hands upon his, clutching them around the brush. “This is my final ask of you and I will hear no retort.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Winter 5107&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hands were bound with steel cuffs, it seemed unnecessary but also rather ironic. At least she could find some humor in the situation, if not a bit of flattery. As she shifted her small wrists in the heavy shackles a booming voice rang out in the small chamber.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uniana Le’Gondren Nalfein, you stand charged with treason against the City-State of Illistim, stimulating war against the Shining City, encouraging sorcery within the city walls, endangering the safety of others and aiding and abetting known war criminals. How do you plead?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Often and believably. Would you like to hear?” Uniana pulled her lips into a side-set grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another voice came from off to the side, as Murstyr Javilerre quipped “Of course she wouldn’t take this seriously.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana shook her head. “I noticed there is no one recording this briefing but I would like to go on record that I appreciate Lord Javilerre’s forceful method of cuffing.” She raised her shackled wrists for emphasis and changed her gaze to focus directly on the aged elf and murmured lasciviously, “now I know where your son acquired his skills.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Murstyr moved towards the small enclosed platform where she stood in a threatening manner before the commanding voice from before ordered, “Enough. The evidence against you is insurmountable. We have every believable argument to sentence you to death.” The voice took a pause while Uniana remained in silence looking into the darkened corners of the chamber unphased. “Though, you have curried favor with the Argent and at the suggestion of the Council of Thrones we offer you some conditions that will see your life spared in return for effective services.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Like what?” Uniana asked with her voice dripping with aloofness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Describe your familiarity with the sorcerer Mekthros Savius Faendryl?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her blood ran like fire and her voice became sharp and biting, “if you expect to me to sit in one of your dungeons playing a part in incriminating anyone but myself you should just kill me here and now. Death over bondage.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A new voice, one distinctly feminine spoke out now, “ah, she’s just as melodramatic as was suggested.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana narrowed her eyes and retorted, “not unlike having a puppet court in a dark chamber with your interrogators in shadow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another voice now, scholarly and low, explained “we are interested in your ability to record potentially illegal sorcerous activity within and without the city walls. There is mounting pressure after the events of the past years to ensure that we are aware of any potential individuals of concern. Your proximity and unfettered access to one of the most powerful and feared Faendryl sorcerers at present places you in a unique position.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“To simply walk up and insert myself?” Uniana thought to herself. She knew that the Illistimi were problematic when it came to subterfuge but even this must seem poorly thought out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There is a prominent sorceress of a well-to-do family who is in need of a lady&#039;s maid and guide to Ta’Illistim. She coincidentally also is looking for an enchantress on retainer. She has agreed to pay a large amount of interest on your debts in order to take you into her service. You are to watch and report on any findings,” the female voice explained, “despite the manner of your recent apprehension it is said you are a master at discretion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Murstyr spoke again, “and there are additional conditions for this arrangement. You are to now and forever cease contact with anyone who ever had an association with the Dark Alliance, including family members. While under this agreement you are prohibited from performing any other,” he paused to emphasize disgust in the next word, “duties. You are simply a lady’s maid and an indentured enchantress. If there is any inclination that you are attempting to contact or signal someone with supposed ties to enemies of the City-State, it will be deathwort for both of you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A plea for death rose up in her throat. What life would that be? And what if a sorcerer conclave discovered what had she been doing? Most assuredly a fate worse than death. Then briefly, she felt it. The subtle pound of an alien heart within her chest, it was momentary but undeniable. She could almost hear the thumping. An echo of the connection that they once shared. Something to cling to. Something to live for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Summer 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fourteen years and nothing reported,” the voice outside her cell was heavy with anger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fourteen years and nothing TO REPORT.” Uniana shouted with annoyance and laid her head back against the stone wall of her cell. “I told your Commander a year ago, kill me. I have no desire to waste away in this cell giving myself over to madness.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It will not be much longer now, Commander Javillerre requested your file this morning. You’ll be in the embrace of Gosaena before sunrise tomorrow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t want to give in to the fear or the taking stock of how she got here and what it all meant. Her regrets, her struggles, her joy, and triumphs were vacant now. She found solace in the fact that maybe that was true for everyone at the end. Her laments were mostly with regards to her cousin. Lysistrata was never overly tender but her words always provided a measure of strength to Uniana when she doubted herself and she desperately wished she could tell her how much her mentorship and guidance had meant. Somehow she still managed to feel embarrassed that she had never discovered the fate of Eryael.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She paused to quiet her mind and still her breath. Only one heartbeat. Her own lonely heart pumping with increasing speed at the threat of her anxiety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A loud clatter made her recoil in fear. The gate to her cell was pulled open. A small box filled with her things was placed on the ground and then kicked inside. Atop her belongings was an elegantly scripted vellum letter sealed by a dark crimson wax imprinted with a storm griffin rending a deer. Her dirty hands pulled it apart with a frustrated curiosity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Lady Uniana Le’Gondren Nalfein,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I await you at the garden shrine. This is not a request.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;- H&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her lips parted into an open-mouth smile as she let out a pant of relief that ended up sounding more like a chuckle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Some things never change.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Fifteen years. It had been fifteen years since she last attended a ball. She had danced with Teveriel then too though she couldn’t quite remember the whole of the details. There wasn’t much to note at the time; it was just another event in a string of balls that she would attend for the social season. The most she recounted was a masquerade in Ta’Illistim and she recalled she had a metallic lace rose mask fashioned especially. They were still enemies at the time, sharing a dance under veiled pretense of civility. A small piece of her had hoped that the ball to honor the fallen would serve as an opportunity to rewrite a history that should have been. But her story was never much intended to be a fairy tale and she knew as much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The events of last night would serve as an opportunity. She had let her guard down, she felt too safe in Ta’Vaalor. Too safe under the eyes of the Legion. A mistake that would be immediately corrected. Today she was awake early, not in the typical way where she was restless and cursing Ronan. This morning, she woke with purpose and found Teveriel still asleep on the divan where Hanshayr had deposited him last night. She fetched a folded blanket from a cabinet, draped it over him and then departed the chalet. He was awake when she returned carrying a large object with a canvas shroud in her hand. Other packages followed behind her, a couple members of the household staff ushering them in. She called for them to be taken to the kitchen and have all that was presently in the pantry and larder tossed out. Though she briefly considered if she could season, preserve and package it and have it delivered to the Obsidian Tower in the West.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she greeted him, setting the object down on the floor next to the divan. She inquired into his current state and gave him a slow, chaste kiss on the forehead, then held her cheek there to check the warmth. Seeming pleased with his progress of recovery she&#039;d call for his breakfast - a large plate of poached eggs covered in sliced beetroot and a herbaceous green sauce served with a chilled glass of pomegranate juice. As he went to reach for a fork she halted him, pulled the cover off the large object and revealed an alert, small sparrowhawk in a gilt-frosted iron cage. She took the silverware and cut a tiny piece from the side of his eggs and placed it in the cage, watching the bird devour it. Taking the spoon she dotted it into the juice and allowed the bird to nip at the dark liquid. Sitting in silence for a moment she watched the bird keenly, before nodding in approval, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll see a clean spoon is brought up.&amp;quot; She offered him a kind smile and went off to tend to more fortifications to ensure the chalet would remain a safe haven in a city where she no longer felt safe.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
She was up early, again. Not troubled or restless, she could see the path before her clearly and resolutely. The bower had grown too cold as it seemed the snowfall had continued throughout the night. After tea was delivered and the fire tended she gathered a fur robe about herself and leaned up against the mullioned windows, her violet-haunted gaze focused on the glade below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teveriel had probably been up for hours at this point but you wouldn’t know it by the swing of his arm as he cut through the air with his blunted sword. His aim was true time and time again, slashing into a barkless tree marked with notches to represent the heights of various enemies. There was a new notch this morning, one towering above the others and he seemed to swing relentlessly at it with grim determination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The berserker,” she thought as she adjusted the teacup in her hands to palm the bottom of it while her other steadied the handle, taking a pause to flex her fingers and release some of the stiffness. No doubt this was a result of her attempting to aid Akenna last night with the imbuing of runes. Such tedious work, manipulating the elements. Not like people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flurry of hacking sounds pulled her from her thoughts as Teveriel made a rapid assault against the tree. She knew the idea of Zerroth’s return had brought him dark thoughts and opened old wounds that never really healed. But that wasn’t all the news there was to consider. Her carmine lips pulled into a faint smile before she took another sip of tea. She longed to have this chapter concluded and return east. There was so much to do. Parties to plan, dinners to host as the festive season drew near.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then there was her harp. People had said before that she was something of an artist at it. She&#039;d like to earn that title once more.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Jastatos 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Who would she reunite with if given the chance?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother? No. She doesn’t need to see all the ways she’s failed. Let her rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eryael? Well, he doesn’t really seem to be dead now. Makes that answer a bit easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what about...oh yes, &#039;&#039;him&#039;&#039;. And then she thought about his funeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a typical day and she was bringing up a tray to her Mistress. The paper had been folded neatly, placed off to the side as she had done morning after morning but today when she reached the top of the stairs it slipped down and became a clump on the floor. Bending down to pick it up, she tried to crease it neatly the way it had been folded before when she took note of a headline along the corner: “SUPPOSED DEMONOLOGIST FROM NALFEIN SUCCUMBS TO FAILED SUMMONING”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She left the tray unattended on a nearby console table as she reviewed the details of the article. The facts were murky enough but his name was there and that he would be sent back home for a private funeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;They executed him.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had heard rumors that his name had come up numerous times in the treason and sedition trials following the war. She had seen him manipulate the forces beyond a hundred times and his power over them was confident, even aloof. He would have never lost control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;They wouldn’t suffer a sorcerer.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His family probably paid good money to keep the real cause from public record and this helped shape the continued narrative of the Shining City, that demons were dangerous and unyielding, even to pure elves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reclaiming her composure, she delivered her mistress her breakfast, paper neatly folded on the side and then requested a brief leave to visit her ailing great aunt in Ta’Nalfein. During the whole of her trip she was shadowed by a lithe figure in a dark cobalt silk cloak. The Sapphire Guard wasn’t being subtle, they didn’t need to be, but then again whoever was assigned to this task probably wasn’t exactly operating as one of their best.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day of the funeral she made her way down into the kitchen of her aunt’s townhouse. She did have an aunt in Ta’Nalfein, though she was more alcoholic than ailing. And she wasn’t even staying here at the townhouse. Nothing made Uniana come to terms with her fallen status in society as much as the fact that her own great aunt would not receive her at the family estate but rather kept her at one of her minor properties, like she was some lukewarm acquaintance or passing merchant. Uniana vowed that if she lived through this ordeal she would ensure her status among her family and society would be elevated once more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;If.&#039;&#039; He certainly didn’t make it out alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She grabbed one of the aprons and a plain leather-backed chainsil cloak from off one of the hooks near the backdoor and quietly made her way down the var, head lowered in discretion and possibly shame. The sidegate that led to his family’s garden was left open so that visitors could pay their respects but when she came upon the gathering there were only two males, about his age, dressed in plainish mourning clothes, a half-elf who was in brigandine and his mother. She had met his mother once. Uniana found her kind and smart, real smart. Not some kind of Nalfein feigned intelligence where you read a bit about this or that so you can manage conversations at parties but rather brilliant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked so frail now, pouring loam and ash over a newly dug mound. Next to the smallish mound was a stone of ebony marble and Uniana could determine that it might have been rimmed in black ora but she didn’t dare get closer to the gathering. She remained near the gate out of both respect and fear. This was her fault. He was her mark. She had brought him to the Dark Alliance. She made his mother childless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t all a game to her though. Uniana was actually quite fond of him. He took things easily and he was powerful, a bit of a scoundrel but ever clinging to his elven superiority. There may have even been love between them if they could ever stop using each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The small group began to walk back towards the main house, the mother stopped to consider Uniana at a distance but turned away.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
She doesn’t recognize me.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why would she? Uniana was concealed in outerwear suited only for the scullery and the dress underneath was an ill-fitted hand-me-down from her mistress who never used proper Elven tailors. Uniana took the opportunity to draw near the loose soil and she could see now that the small plaque had his name and had a tiny fragment of his runestaff contained within. From within the pocket of her loose dress she removed a single cutout snowflake crafted from dull metallic parchment. The necklace he had given her was long since sold for whatever meager silver it would have fetched but she still felt sentimental about it. And the ball where she wore it and after, the first time they kissed, even if it was all pretense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was by no means innocent but did he deserve this? Did he hate her for it all? Was any of it worth it? She didn’t deserve those questions answered though. If she could bring him back for one night, for the Eve of the Reunion, it wouldn’t be to calculate the cost of her deeds. She’d simply ask if he had a message for his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Eve of the Reunion 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As they raced down the pier Teveriel called for the crew to begin cutting the lines. The entire dock rolled under the swell of water that came in fast, continuous waves. The onslaught of rain in the whipping wind and the blinding flashes made it nearly impossible to see and Uniana was certain if she hadn&#039;t made the journey across the gangplank numerous times before she would have lost her footing. She kept a close grip on Yukito as Teveriel ushered both of them from a sentinel position in the rear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as they were aboard the ship lurched away from the dock, the sails flapping in the wind. Teveriel ordered the capstan up and Uniana saw Yukito positioned safely below deck. When she got to the helm she questioned their departure but Teveriel assessed rightly that they had no time to spare. To punctuate his statement a crashing wave came over the railing and forced the ship against the dock briefly. Uniana pulled the wheel away and managed to give Teveriel a fearful glance but he confidently assured her, &amp;quot;she will hold.&amp;quot; He captained the crew to adjust the sails to catch the frightful wind and they instantly pulled away from the structure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Goliath waves crashed into the island as they sailed north and away from the doomed land. The peril was far from over as they struggled to navigate the storm. At one point Uniana realized they had been going west again for the better part of half hour but was able to chart them back to the northeast. A few hours into their journey the storm gave way to a gentle, though constant, rain. Uniana took the opportunity to tie the wheel off and give her hands a rest. She went below deck and had tea brewed for herself, the captain and their guests. Before she went back to attend her duties she offered Yukito a blanket and encouraged him to find some real rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dawn broke on the horizon but it only lit the clouds from behind, doing nothing to cease the rains. Before midday they reached their port and Calepher was as good as his word. Upon pulling into the bustling port of Ta&#039;Loenthra, a skiff bearing a silver-harp on a purple sail came out to meet them. They were not permitted to dock but they were granted permission to anchor, supply and take rest for the evening. When morning came it did not go unnoticed that somehow Teveriel had smuggled aboard some artisan pastries and fresh coffee. Then while the crew prepared the ship for the exhausting voyage back to the West the trio of them leaned against the railing of the Blue Fortress, sipping their coffee and watching the sun come up in a clear sky for the first time in what seemed to be the better part of a month.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
She had met with “H” all of three times before this encounter and each time he had used his intimidating presence to establish the nature of their relationship. He was in absolute control, he knew her movements, he knew things she assumed she had whispered in empty rooms and the way he regarded the things she said with a questioning, imperious glare made her feel as though he could sense her innermost thoughts. It made her wonder if he hadn’t a student or two of Harith in his service as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even still, there was something to be said for the way he deferred to her insight or recommendations about how to rally or connect with the pockets of elves who privately acknowledged Mularos as their patron. He knew that she was a lynchpin to Eryael and if Eryael accomplished nothing else he fostered a new era of Mularosian worship in the City-States. Politicians, nobility, commanders --though without leadership these silent proselytes were floundering. They were in need of a sycophant and “H” was just the type to take up the mantle or at least instill a puppet figurehead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s where the necessity of Eryael’s fate came in. Too many of them were even still under somewhat of his spell, much like Uniana. They required closure before they could possibly consider accepting a new head of their sects. No one would have been more knowledgeable or better equipped to discover the truth of his fate besides one of his soulbonds, Uniana. Uniana, who had spent years searching amongst the rubble of the Black Temple. Uniana, who had learned cartography to better understand the layout of the Dragonspine. Uniana, who studied under Lord Veythorne to learn more of wind currents and possible trajectories of debris on that day. Uniana, who still bore his mark with as much pride as one would display a wedding ring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The terms you had placed on my contract are complete,” she offered in the dark office that smelled of bourbon, velvetier and freshly-inked parchment. There was no lingering hint of roses in this room and she wondered if that would begin to dissipate from the other rooms of the estate as well. She reiterated to him the details she had collected and her own interpretation for him, “he is not dead but he is not on this plane. If you wish to commune with him I would recommend finding the best painters, vocalists and musicians and watching them. He will look for beauty and creativity as an anchor, only ones that are born of suffering and anguish. Though they have to be the very best, they would have to make Eorgina inclined to steal them away to build a second Li&#039;aerion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” made no immediate reaction but drummed his fingers along a vellum that rested atop his desk. “Eager to have your new paramour buy you out from the Order hrm? And what of Eryael, will you try to lure him back? You’re artistically inclined or at least the documents suggest.” He paused his hand and regarded her with a cruel smile, “I’ve never had the pleasure.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She opted not to address his second question and instead correct him on the details of his first, “the Order of the Lily does not deal in slavery or indentured servitude, I am free to resign at will. However, Lord Anduin is offering them a fair amount to ensure that we part amicably. Though my worth to them is obviously diminished along with my credibility.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” offered her a dark smile. “Yes, a bit of a novelty now, aren’t you? No longer a main attraction. Still my contacts at the bank suggest that Lord Anduin is pulling together a prince’s ransom. At least someone still thinks you are worth that kind of trouble. Are you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana didn’t respond, keeping her expressionless gaze on him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” stood from behind his desk in a precise, clipped motion. He announced, “well then, there is one more bit of business to conclude. You will join me in the garden,” he gestured behind her towards the door and added with a barely suppressed maliciousness, “I trust you remember the way, if not, permit me to &#039;&#039;&#039;show&#039;&#039;&#039; you.”&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;A letter crafted in the middle of the night on Phoenatos 28th, 5121.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The folded parchment bears no other detail on it except the word “Diamond” in a neat, black ink across the front&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I apologize for not writing again since the sentence was commuted. It is difficult to ensure that these will get to you without the risk of any obtrusion. I have found myself in the West for the time being. Making contact with old connections for old purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You were always my council, my heart and head are never to be trusted. I worry that my time away has made me soft and weak. The long years are giving me a desire to resign myself from all this wretched business. Is that pathetic? If I do press forward am I being stubborn? A part of me feels like I have already invested so much, I have to see an end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear, I find myself questioning if I am foolish. What kind of madness am I infected with that I would continue to give myself to this thankless cause? Isn’t everything I lost enough of a reason to abandon my foolish need for closure? For resolution? There is another aspect of all this too, one I dare not even put down on the page lest the documentation of it makes it more real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would give anything to be in your radiant presence again but for now your words will more than suffice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your Loving Cousin,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ruby&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;A letter crafted in the morning on Eoantos 23rd, 5121.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Uniana held her quill above the parchment and considered for a moment that she should write the following in their coded hand. Upon further reflection, the nature of the letter spoke to honesty and the absence of clandestine operations in her life, so she wrote freely in Elven.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beloved Cousin,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope this finds you ever radiant and in proud spirits. Vyctus seems to be thriving with his naval endeavors and I hear that Lear is once more the talk of the Ardenai court with his charm and steady aim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By now you have learned that I have left the Order of the Lily, my last contract fulfilled and myself now retired. My credibility amongst certain circles tarnished after my exposed allegiance during the war, my movements would never hold the power they once did. At least not as a courtesan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that brings to the point of this letter. These last few months I have been keeping the company of Lord Teveriel Anduin, who you know to be of good character and renowned as a hero among his house. He has inherited the title and estates of his father after his passing during the war. Some fifteen years ago we were so much in each other’s orbit but now the pull is undeniable. As the matriarch of our house, I seek your blessing if there is the opportunity for a formal alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The fine scripting on the vellum becomes a bit less neat.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know I have not always brought honor to our family and so your council in this matter will be heeded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Love,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana&lt;br /&gt;

The fires in the grand hall were roaring but only the loudest pops and crackles were heard over the litany of conversations and the upbeat, rhythmic playing of the orchestra. Everywhere she looked were glittering metallic ornaments and ladies garbed in rich jewel toned velvet. Her own gown felt unnecessarily warm between the barrage of the fires and the density of the crowded room. It made her feel flush or perhaps that was the passing smile of a familiar face across the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evergreen and gingerbread hung heavy in the air and she could almost taste the cinnamon and nutmeg of the mulled wine. Almost. Because none of this was real. Just another meditative daydream in an effort to escape the grim reality of her cold, dark cell somewhere in the labyrinthian building of the Ta&#039;Illistim Keep. The pleasant noise of her dream was replaced by the constant patter of dripping water from the ceiling. A soft sob could be heard from down the hall within another cell. Uniana rolled on her cot and shut her eyes, trying not curse Ronan for the thousandth time. She hoped briefly that execution would come quickly, she couldn&#039;t take another winter in solitude. &#039;&#039;She wouldn&#039;t.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

It was the sixth evening of their honeymoon in Ta’Nalfein and everything in her soul called to Uniana to remain in their shared bed. Yet, who knew when they would return to Ta&#039;Nalfein again. At least some business would require her attention before more pleasure. She had made time to dive deeper into the organization known as the Sparrows of the Night Queen, she and her new husband had visited some family and prominent shops and that left one final distraction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had barely put her feet on the floor when her husband asked with a hint of disappointment, &amp;quot;you still mean to go then?&amp;quot; Her dark curls shifted subtly around her face as she nodded wordlessly which prompted him to rise as well. They dressed in cloaks with encompassing hoods and made their way to the distant side of the city to a small domed basilica trimmed in ivory marble. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curved doors were open allowing for the quiet interior to be cooled by the sea air. Uniana stepped in first followed by Teveriel who narrowed his eyes as he studied the dim sanctuary. Uniana had no sooner pushed back her hood when a robed figure approached, arms outstretched. &amp;quot;I was hoping you would pay us a visit,&amp;quot; the older elf&#039;s voice was warm and his demeanor full of familiarity. Uniana embraced him and he put an arm around her, nodding over to Teveriel. &amp;quot;You are very welcome here, Lord of Vaalor.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The older elf and Uniana began to walk down the aisle that led to the altar. Teveriel shifted a moment and considered following them but opted to sit and allow the two a private reunion. Teveriel watched them as they whispered back and forth with smiles, his own lips set firm with displeasure as they drew closer to an ivory statue of an elf with rose vines binding his wrists, the thorns piercing into the stone with such detail that it appeared as pliable flesh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The duo bowed their heads before the statue and continued in muted conversation. The priest disappeared and returned, taking Uniana by the arm as he escorted her back to Teveriel who could now hear some of their conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We didn&#039;t win,&amp;quot; the priest said emotionlessly, &amp;quot;and yet we did not lose. You are a good ambassador, you could have been a good scion but that was not your path,&amp;quot; and the priest looked out into the pews to Teveriel who sat in a terse silence. &amp;quot;You are in a cycle of pleasure and beauty, doesn&#039;t the pain and loss you felt make it all the sweeter?&amp;quot; He did not let Uniana answer, &amp;quot;I have something for you. You earned it. You can walk in the light but the shadow of Lornon will always welcome you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He opened a small box of night-dark glass rimmed in pearls that were just as black. Even as he opened it the jeweled item inside sparkled in the sparse light. His aged hands held it reverently and he lifted it to crown her. As it blended into Uniana&#039;s dark cherry curls the blazestar halo began to fade away and her form was bathed in a muted crimson essence. Teveriel took in a deep, steading breath. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[Image:UnianaoftheNalfein.jpg|thumb|Uniana and her expansive thistle tattoo, illustrated by brighnasa.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:TeverielUniana.png|thumb|Uniana and Teveriel on their way to the Festival of the Fallen ball, illustrated by Ashley Lange.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Lady Uniana Anduin Nalfein&#039;&#039;&#039; is a prominent socialite and currently maintains partial citizenship in [[Ta&#039;Vaalor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana was the only child of Lady Vlienive and Lord Chengric Le’Gondren [[Nalfein]]. Her father a minor noble and aspiring vintner, her mother of an ancient noble house and a former courtesan. She is the cousin of [[Lysistrata]], [[Lear]] and [[Vyctus]] Scio on her mother&#039;s side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she had come of age she was inducted to the Order of the Lily, a revered training house for the courtesan arts, though it was alleged to create operatives in all matters of the clandestine. When it was discovered that she had a latent aptitude for manipulating air currents she briefly was put into their elemancer program but her ability to pull and weave the flows of essence was sloppy and she seemed uninterested in attempting to apply herself to their rigorous research requirements. Even still, more recently she became something of a student of Lord [[Veythorne]], prior to his reclusion, learning more about the theology of air as well as the physical properties of the element. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After graduating from the Order of the Lily, she spent several years entertaining and offering companionship to the upper echelons of the City-States&#039; society. Hearsay suggests that sometime around 5102 her frequent trips to the West were due to her supposed involvement with the [[Dark Alliance]] and that she was perhaps intimately connected to the Painlord [[Eryael]]. It is rumored that at some point around 5107 Ta&#039;Illistim put her on trial for her supposed crimes towards the City-State during the second [[Griffin Sword Saga|Griffin Sword War]]. This could explain her complete disappearance from society and the gossip that she was serving as a lady&#039;s maid. At the end of summer 5121 she reappeared into society on retainer under the mysterious &amp;quot;H&amp;quot;. This would be her last assignation and she retired from her Order before the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She married Lord [[Teveriel (prime)|Teveriel]] Anduin Vaalor on Ivastaen the Twenty-First of 5122 and using her passion of cartography and understanding of air currents serves as the Chief Navigator for his fleet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Lady Uniana Le&#039;Gondren Nalfein the Socialite. &lt;br /&gt;
:She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is shorter than average.  She appears to have come of age.  She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin.  She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair twisted into loose ringlets.  She has an unlined face and subtly arched eyebrows.  Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.&lt;br /&gt;
:She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is holding an alum-slated viridian silk fan in her right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing a fanning necklet of cabochon emeralds and minute black pearls, a shoulder-gathered emerald satin chiton with a dramatic plunging neckline, an upward terminating faenor cincher of wrought thorn vines, a domed rich viridian faenor signet ring, and some soft ebon suede ankle-tied sandals beaded with oblong nephrites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;an alum-slated viridian silk fan&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Intricately etched to mimic the curve, length, and texture of a rose vine, three of the fan&#039;s alum slats are imbedded with tiny malachite chips, while the remaining three are carved into a twisted thorn shape.  Viridian marbrinus silk stretches between beautifully wrought slats and is painted with a blooming ebon rose, whose petals are appliqued with crushed velvet.  A pair of malachite cabochons is set within the alum handle, which is fitted with an ebon-veined viridian silk wrist strap.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;a domed rich viridian faenor signet ring&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;The signet is made of faenor in the design of an elven-style crest, divided in the imperial style. The background is composed of green jade with a single blood red spiral curling from the top to encompass a black rose. Set below the rose is a thistle of deep amethyst accented with hues of blood red, resting atop a black dagger. Flanked to the right side is a stalk of golden foxglove resting on an ebon wine goblet and to the left is a pure white lily with a blood red center.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wedding Attire===&lt;br /&gt;

:She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is shorter than average and has a nipped waist silhouette.  She appears to have come of age.  She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin.  She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair falling about her body in fragile tufts with some speckled pale apple blossoms amid the large, soft curls.  She has an unlined face and subtly arched eyebrows.  Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.  She has some helical nacreous vaalin chains adorned with some gold-dipped feathers dangling from her ears.&lt;br /&gt;
:She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is holding a feathery silk-tied bouquet of vibrant greenery and pale blossoms in her left hand.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing a hair-thin chain of electrum and nacre resting against the sternum, a long vert train of tonal silk forming dark-hearted roses and gilt-traced dragonstalks over a tiered-hem hunter green chiffon gown hung from two wispy diaphanous panels, a floriated petite lasimor band gracing the left ring finger, a voluminous jade silk dupioni underskirt warmed by honey sheens, and a pair of thick cork-heeled sandals secured by a cagelike array of gold samite straps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Sometime in 5105&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was in his nature to approach with humility but his demeanor now might even border on timid perhaps even fearful. After a lifetime of service and the multitude of times entering somewhere unheard, there was so much effort extended now into being respectful and quiet, almost silent. The study was darker than it should have been, a symptom of the prompt dismissal of any who dare to enter. The concentration of light was focused on a heavy wood desk. The silhouette of a fragile female elf leaned against the edge of the tabletop focused on what lay beneath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without looking up from the map that she so intently studied, her voice questioned with a tiredness she either couldn&#039;t manage to hide or no longer cared to, &amp;quot;what?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recent intruder offered in a gentle tone, &amp;quot;can I get you something? When was the last time you accepted a meal?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though her fist tightened her tone did not change as she repeated, &amp;quot;what is it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no getting around what had to be said and it felt like even a sigh of exasperation would be a wasted breath. He mustered all of the courage and strength that he had gained from being in the employ of such an infamous creature and explained, &amp;quot;The bank will loan no more on your credit and your accounts are exhausted. Perhaps it is time to consider calling off the expedition.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, the female elf lifted her face and settled her heavy purple-toned gaze upon her servant. Her demeanor was neither cold nor angry, she spoke evenly almost as a matter of fact, &amp;quot;then levy the estates, the vineyard, the lake house, sell the galleon. Clean out every closet, every jewelry box, anything of value that is remotely in my possession.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As her servant opened his mouth in what was sure to be a cautious protest she cut him off and made her intent clear once again. &amp;quot;The only conclusion to this endeavor is finding Eryael Ladrinyth alive.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Harsh, shrill air whipped over her face with a violent sting, bringing tears to her blood-shot eyes. The cold of the mountain made the muscles of her face burn deep into the nerves. With a hopeless sigh, she turned and looked at the darkness that surrounded her, icy crags shrouded in grey fog. It would not be much different than the maze exercises her Order had insisted that she practice. Her watery gaze studied the incline for an extended moment and then the lithe elf shut her eyes. Inside her mind a pattern developed --each twist and turn, each rock and ravine she would be able to surmount and comb through. After calculating erratically the position of where the Black Temple had fallen, she began her ascension up the Dragonspine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Her movement was sluggish as she trudged along in the deep snow, sinking into her knees with each step. The thin silk skirt that was draped over her legs was dampened by the wet fall. Like a thousand slivers digging into her feet, she could feel every crack and point of unleveled ground beneath her. Feebly, she tried to keep her hands warm by sheltering them within her sleeves but it was only a matter of hours before the painful sensations that plagued them were replaced with consuming numbness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It was difficult for her to focus on the white-capped peaks ahead, even where she stood now the wind howled and clawed at her exposed skin. She took a gasping breath of frozen air that made her lungs burn in her chest and cried out, agonized voice echoing among the looming alpines, “Eryael!”&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Warm tears flooded her eyes until they breached the edges, succumbing to the frigid environment. Stumbling under a large conifer the girl huddled against the tree to shield herself from the unrelenting chill. The wind peeled at the layers of her cracked lips, while she parted them to murmur, “I will find you…”.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Autumn 5105&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How long had it been since she was found atop the side of the mountain? When she was found her extremities were a dark blue-purple with frostbite, malnourished and near completely under the influence of Zelia. She was recovering but her delicate elven features were now gaunt and sickly, her lips still healing from the deep chapped cracks. In the past months she spent most of her time laying on a chaise longue next to the window in her room that faced the Dragonspine. Days were spent in eerie silence as she looked at the mountain forlornly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all this time, she finally sent for him in the midst of getting her ringleted hair brushed. She did not dismiss her handmaiden as she spoke but neither turned to look at him either. “Is it true?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He took a step where she reclined and nodded to dismiss the handmaiden. He claimed the brush from her before she left and began to pull through the black cherry-hued strands with a loving gentleness. “The City-State is calling in your loans,” pausing to add for clarity, “all of them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made no sound but stretched out her legs from next to her, extending them to the end of the chaise. “Then we return home, for now,” she responded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hesitation was almost paralyzing as her servant spoke, “there is more. Our sources have stated they have seen a warrant being drafted at the magistrate’s office. They know that the expedition is not a recovery but a rescue. Evidence has mounted and it is only a matter of days before you are formally charged with treason and high-crimes against the Shining City. It seems reasonable that the Sapphire Guard will be at our door within the week.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He couldn’t see her smile but he could hear the musing in her soft voice, “then we had better pack fast.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idle brushing continued as he delivered a grim counter, “we would have been safe from extradition had the state of the accounts not been so vast. The debt is nearly immeasurable. Nalfein will deliver us without hesitation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh,” was the simple reply and it was followed by a length of silence with only the subtle rustle of the horsehair brush through her dark red hair. Then she sat up, pulling away and stated with no urgency, “have Samiel lay out the cardinal dupioni silk gown, the gold and eahnor pendant that goes with it. Then I want you to give whatever we have left to the remaining servants and dismiss them under the cover of night.” Standing up then, she turns towards her servant, “you have been the truest and given more than I ever had the right to ask for. There is a bottle in the cellar that is marked with a faint golden script near the bottom of the middle rack. Inside are the details of a seaside villa that has no ties to me or my family in the Bay of Black Pearls. It is yours with my deepest gratitude.” Another pause was taken so that she could place her hands upon his, clutching them around the brush. “This is my final ask of you and I will hear no retort.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Winter 5107&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hands were bound with steel cuffs, it seemed unnecessary but also rather ironic. At least she could find some humor in the situation, if not a bit of flattery. As she shifted her small wrists in the heavy shackles a booming voice rang out in the small chamber.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uniana Le’Gondren Nalfein, you stand charged with treason against the City-State of Illistim, stimulating war against the Shining City, encouraging sorcery within the city walls, endangering the safety of others and aiding and abetting known war criminals. How do you plead?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Often and believably. Would you like to hear?” Uniana pulled her lips into a side-set grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another voice came from off to the side, as Murstyr Javilerre quipped “Of course she wouldn’t take this seriously.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana shook her head. “I noticed there is no one recording this briefing but I would like to go on record that I appreciate Lord Javilerre’s forceful method of cuffing.” She raised her shackled wrists for emphasis and changed her gaze to focus directly on the aged elf and murmured lasciviously, “now I know where your son acquired his skills.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Murstyr moved towards the small enclosed platform where she stood in a threatening manner before the commanding voice from before ordered, “Enough. The evidence against you is insurmountable. We have every believable argument to sentence you to death.” The voice took a pause while Uniana remained in silence looking into the darkened corners of the chamber unphased. “Though, you have curried favor with the Argent and at the suggestion of the Council of Thrones we offer you some conditions that will see your life spared in return for effective services.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Like what?” Uniana asked with her voice dripping with aloofness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Describe your familiarity with the sorcerer Mekthros Savius Faendryl?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her blood ran like fire and her voice became sharp and biting, “if you expect to me to sit in one of your dungeons playing a part in incriminating anyone but myself you should just kill me here and now. Death over bondage.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A new voice, one distinctly feminine spoke out now, “ah, she’s just as melodramatic as was suggested.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana narrowed her eyes and retorted, “not unlike having a puppet court in a dark chamber with your interrogators in shadow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another voice now, scholarly and low, explained “we are interested in your ability to record potentially illegal sorcerous activity within and without the city walls. There is mounting pressure after the events of the past years to ensure that we are aware of any potential individuals of concern. Your proximity and unfettered access to one of the most powerful and feared Faendryl sorcerers at present places you in a unique position.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“To simply walk up and insert myself?” Uniana thought to herself. She knew that the Illistimi were problematic when it came to subterfuge but even this must seem poorly thought out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There is a prominent sorceress of a well-to-do family who is in need of a lady&#039;s maid and guide to Ta’Illistim. She coincidentally also is looking for an enchantress on retainer. She has agreed to pay a large amount of interest on your debts in order to take you into her service. You are to watch and report on any findings,” the female voice explained, “despite the manner of your recent apprehension it is said you are a master at discretion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Murstyr spoke again, “and there are additional conditions for this arrangement. You are to now and forever cease contact with anyone who ever had an association with the Dark Alliance, including family members. While under this agreement you are prohibited from performing any other,” he paused to emphasize disgust in the next word, “duties. You are simply a lady’s maid and an indentured enchantress. If there is any inclination that you are attempting to contact or signal someone with supposed ties to enemies of the City-State, it will be deathwort for both of you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A plea for death rose up in her throat. What life would that be? And what if a sorcerer conclave discovered what had she been doing? Most assuredly a fate worse than death. Then briefly, she felt it. The subtle pound of an alien heart within her chest, it was momentary but undeniable. She could almost hear the thumping. An echo of the connection that they once shared. Something to cling to. Something to live for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Summer 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fourteen years and nothing reported,” the voice outside her cell was heavy with anger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fourteen years and nothing TO REPORT.” Uniana shouted with annoyance and laid her head back against the stone wall of her cell. “I told your Commander a year ago, kill me. I have no desire to waste away in this cell giving myself over to madness.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It will not be much longer now, Commander Javillerre requested your file this morning. You’ll be in the embrace of Gosaena before sunrise tomorrow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t want to give in to the fear or the taking stock of how she got here and what it all meant. Her regrets, her struggles, her joy, and triumphs were vacant now. She found solace in the fact that maybe that was true for everyone at the end. Her laments were mostly with regards to her cousin. Lysistrata was never overly tender but her words always provided a measure of strength to Uniana when she doubted herself and she desperately wished she could tell her how much her mentorship and guidance had meant. Somehow she still managed to feel embarrassed that she had never discovered the fate of Eryael.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She paused to quiet her mind and still her breath. Only one heartbeat. Her own lonely heart pumping with increasing speed at the threat of her anxiety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A loud clatter made her recoil in fear. The gate to her cell was pulled open. A small box filled with her things was placed on the ground and then kicked inside. Atop her belongings was an elegantly scripted vellum letter sealed by a dark crimson wax imprinted with a storm griffin rending a deer. Her dirty hands pulled it apart with a frustrated curiosity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Lady Uniana Le’Gondren Nalfein,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I await you at the garden shrine. This is not a request.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;- H&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her lips parted into an open-mouth smile as she let out a pant of relief that ended up sounding more like a chuckle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Some things never change.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Fifteen years. It had been fifteen years since she last attended a ball. She had danced with Teveriel then too though she couldn’t quite remember the whole of the details. There wasn’t much to note at the time; it was just another event in a string of balls that she would attend for the social season. The most she recounted was a masquerade in Ta’Illistim and she recalled she had a metallic lace rose mask fashioned especially. They were still enemies at the time, sharing a dance under veiled pretense of civility. A small piece of her had hoped that the ball to honor the fallen would serve as an opportunity to rewrite a history that should have been. But her story was never much intended to be a fairy tale and she knew as much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The events of last night would serve as an opportunity. She had let her guard down, she felt too safe in Ta’Vaalor. Too safe under the eyes of the Legion. A mistake that would be immediately corrected. Today she was awake early, not in the typical way where she was restless and cursing Ronan. This morning, she woke with purpose and found Teveriel still asleep on the divan where Hanshayr had deposited him last night. She fetched a folded blanket from a cabinet, draped it over him and then departed the chalet. He was awake when she returned carrying a large object with a canvas shroud in her hand. Other packages followed behind her, a couple members of the household staff ushering them in. She called for them to be taken to the kitchen and have all that was presently in the pantry and larder tossed out. Though she briefly considered if she could season, preserve and package it and have it delivered to the Obsidian Tower in the West.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she greeted him, setting the object down on the floor next to the divan. She inquired into his current state and gave him a slow, chaste kiss on the forehead, then held her cheek there to check the warmth. Seeming pleased with his progress of recovery she&#039;d call for his breakfast - a large plate of poached eggs covered in sliced beetroot and a herbaceous green sauce served with a chilled glass of pomegranate juice. As he went to reach for a fork she halted him, pulled the cover off the large object and revealed an alert, small sparrowhawk in a gilt-frosted iron cage. She took the silverware and cut a tiny piece from the side of his eggs and placed it in the cage, watching the bird devour it. Taking the spoon she dotted it into the juice and allowed the bird to nip at the dark liquid. Sitting in silence for a moment she watched the bird keenly, before nodding in approval, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll see a clean spoon is brought up.&amp;quot; She offered him a kind smile and went off to tend to more fortifications to ensure the chalet would remain a safe haven in a city where she no longer felt safe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Imaerasta 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was up early, again. Not troubled or restless, she could see the path before her clearly and resolutely. The bower had grown too cold as it seemed the snowfall had continued throughout the night. After tea was delivered and the fire tended she gathered a fur robe about herself and leaned up against the mullioned windows, her violet-haunted gaze focused on the glade below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teveriel had probably been up for hours at this point but you wouldn’t know it by the swing of his arm as he cut through the air with his blunted sword. His aim was true time and time again, slashing into a barkless tree marked with notches to represent the heights of various enemies. There was a new notch this morning, one towering above the others and he seemed to swing relentlessly at it with grim determination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The berserker,” she thought as she adjusted the teacup in her hands to palm the bottom of it while her other steadied the handle, taking a pause to flex her fingers and release some of the stiffness. No doubt this was a result of her attempting to aid Akenna last night with the imbuing of runes. Such tedious work, manipulating the elements. Not like people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flurry of hacking sounds pulled her from her thoughts as Teveriel made a rapid assault against the tree. She knew the idea of Zerroth’s return had brought him dark thoughts and opened old wounds that never really healed. But that wasn’t all the news there was to consider. Her carmine lips pulled into a faint smile before she took another sip of tea. She longed to have this chapter concluded and return east. There was so much to do. Parties to plan, dinners to host as the festive season drew near.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then there was her harp. People had said before that she was something of an artist at it. She&#039;d like to earn that title once more.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Jastatos 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Who would she reunite with if given the chance?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother? No. She doesn’t need to see all the ways she’s failed. Let her rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eryael? Well, he doesn’t really seem to be dead now. Makes that answer a bit easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what about...oh yes, &#039;&#039;him&#039;&#039;. And then she thought about his funeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a typical day and she was bringing up a tray to her Mistress. The paper had been folded neatly, placed off to the side as she had done morning after morning but today when she reached the top of the stairs it slipped down and became a clump on the floor. Bending down to pick it up, she tried to crease it neatly the way it had been folded before when she took note of a headline along the corner: “SUPPOSED DEMONOLOGIST FROM NALFEIN SUCCUMBS TO FAILED SUMMONING”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She left the tray unattended on a nearby console table as she reviewed the details of the article. The facts were murky enough but his name was there and that he would be sent back home for a private funeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;They executed him.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had heard rumors that his name had come up numerous times in the treason and sedition trials following the war. She had seen him manipulate the forces beyond a hundred times and his power over them was confident, even aloof. He would have never lost control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;They wouldn’t suffer a sorcerer.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His family probably paid good money to keep the real cause from public record and this helped shape the continued narrative of the Shining City, that demons were dangerous and unyielding, even to pure elves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reclaiming her composure, she delivered her mistress her breakfast, paper neatly folded on the side and then requested a brief leave to visit her ailing great aunt in Ta’Nalfein. During the whole of her trip she was shadowed by a lithe figure in a dark cobalt silk cloak. The Sapphire Guard wasn’t being subtle, they didn’t need to be, but then again whoever was assigned to this task probably wasn’t exactly operating as one of their best.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day of the funeral she made her way down into the kitchen of her aunt’s townhouse. She did have an aunt in Ta’Nalfein, though she was more alcoholic than ailing. And she wasn’t even staying here at the townhouse. Nothing made Uniana come to terms with her fallen status in society as much as the fact that her own great aunt would not receive her at the family estate but rather kept her at one of her minor properties, like she was some lukewarm acquaintance or passing merchant. Uniana vowed that if she lived through this ordeal she would ensure her status among her family and society would be elevated once more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;If.&#039;&#039; He certainly didn’t make it out alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She grabbed one of the aprons and a plain leather-backed chainsil cloak from off one of the hooks near the backdoor and quietly made her way down the var, head lowered in discretion and possibly shame. The sidegate that led to his family’s garden was left open so that visitors could pay their respects but when she came upon the gathering there were only two males, about his age, dressed in plainish mourning clothes, a half-elf who was in brigandine and his mother. She had met his mother once. Uniana found her kind and smart, real smart. Not some kind of Nalfein feigned intelligence where you read a bit about this or that so you can manage conversations at parties but rather brilliant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked so frail now, pouring loam and ash over a newly dug mound. Next to the smallish mound was a stone of ebony marble and Uniana could determine that it might have been rimmed in black ora but she didn’t dare get closer to the gathering. She remained near the gate out of both respect and fear. This was her fault. He was her mark. She had brought him to the Dark Alliance. She made his mother childless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t all a game to her though. Uniana was actually quite fond of him. He took things easily and he was powerful, a bit of a scoundrel but ever clinging to his elven superiority. There may have even been love between them if they could ever stop using each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The small group began to walk back towards the main house, the mother stopped to consider Uniana at a distance but turned away.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
She doesn’t recognize me.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why would she? Uniana was concealed in outerwear suited only for the scullery and the dress underneath was an ill-fitted hand-me-down from her mistress who never used proper Elven tailors. Uniana took the opportunity to draw near the loose soil and she could see now that the small plaque had his name and had a tiny fragment of his runestaff contained within. From within the pocket of her loose dress she removed a single cutout snowflake crafted from dull metallic parchment. The necklace he had given her was long since sold for whatever meager silver it would have fetched but she still felt sentimental about it. And the ball where she wore it and after, the first time they kissed, even if it was all pretense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was by no means innocent but did he deserve this? Did he hate her for it all? Was any of it worth it? She didn’t deserve those questions answered though. If she could bring him back for one night, for the Eve of the Reunion, it wouldn’t be to calculate the cost of her deeds. She’d simply ask if he had a message for his mother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Eve of the Reunion 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As they raced down the pier Teveriel called for the crew to begin cutting the lines. The entire dock rolled under the swell of water that came in fast, continuous waves. The onslaught of rain in the whipping wind and the blinding flashes made it nearly impossible to see and Uniana was certain if she hadn&#039;t made the journey across the gangplank numerous times before she would have lost her footing. She kept a close grip on Yukito as Teveriel ushered both of them from a sentinel position in the rear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as they were aboard the ship lurched away from the dock, the sails flapping in the wind. Teveriel ordered the capstan up and Uniana saw Yukito positioned safely below deck. When she got to the helm she questioned their departure but Teveriel assessed rightly that they had no time to spare. To punctuate his statement a crashing wave came over the railing and forced the ship against the dock briefly. Uniana pulled the wheel away and managed to give Teveriel a fearful glance but he confidently assured her, &amp;quot;she will hold.&amp;quot; He captained the crew to adjust the sails to catch the frightful wind and they instantly pulled away from the structure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Goliath waves crashed into the island as they sailed north and away from the doomed land. The peril was far from over as they struggled to navigate the storm. At one point Uniana realized they had been going west again for the better part of half hour but was able to chart them back to the northeast. A few hours into their journey the storm gave way to a gentle, though constant, rain. Uniana took the opportunity to tie the wheel off and give her hands a rest. She went below deck and had tea brewed for herself, the captain and their guests. Before she went back to attend her duties she offered Yukito a blanket and encouraged him to find some real rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dawn broke on the horizon but it only lit the clouds from behind, doing nothing to cease the rains. Before midday they reached their port and Calepher was as good as his word. Upon pulling into the bustling port of Ta&#039;Loenthra, a skiff bearing a silver-harp on a purple sail came out to meet them. They were not permitted to dock but they were granted permission to anchor, supply and take rest for the evening. When morning came it did not go unnoticed that somehow Teveriel had smuggled aboard some artisan pastries and fresh coffee. Then while the crew prepared the ship for the exhausting voyage back to the West the trio of them leaned against the railing of the Blue Fortress, sipping their coffee and watching the sun come up in a clear sky for the first time in what seemed to be the better part of a month.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Eoantos 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had met with “H” all of three times before this encounter and each time he had used his intimidating presence to establish the nature of their relationship. He was in absolute control, he knew her movements, he knew things she assumed she had whispered in empty rooms and the way he regarded the things she said with a questioning, imperious glare made her feel as though he could sense her innermost thoughts. It made her wonder if he hadn’t a student or two of Harith in his service as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even still, there was something to be said for the way he deferred to her insight or recommendations about how to rally or connect with the pockets of elves who privately acknowledged Mularos as their patron. He knew that she was a lynchpin to Eryael and if Eryael accomplished nothing else he fostered a new era of Mularosian worship in the City-States. Politicians, nobility, commanders --though without leadership these silent proselytes were floundering. They were in need of a sycophant and “H” was just the type to take up the mantle or at least instill a puppet figurehead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s where the necessity of Eryael’s fate came in. Too many of them were even still under somewhat of his spell, much like Uniana. They required closure before they could possibly consider accepting a new head of their sects. No one would have been more knowledgeable or better equipped to discover the truth of his fate besides one of his soulbonds, Uniana. Uniana, who had spent years searching amongst the rubble of the Black Temple. Uniana, who had learned cartography to better understand the layout of the Dragonspine. Uniana, who studied under Lord Veythorne to learn more of wind currents and possible trajectories of debris on that day. Uniana, who still bore his mark with as much pride as one would display a wedding ring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The terms you had placed on my contract are complete,” she offered in the dark office that smelled of bourbon, velvetier and freshly-inked parchment. There was no lingering hint of roses in this room and she wondered if that would begin to dissipate from the other rooms of the estate as well. She reiterated to him the details she had collected and her own interpretation for him, “he is not dead but he is not on this plane. If you wish to commune with him I would recommend finding the best painters, vocalists and musicians and watching them. He will look for beauty and creativity as an anchor, only ones that are born of suffering and anguish. Though they have to be the very best, they would have to make Eorgina inclined to steal them away to build a second Li&#039;aerion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” made no immediate reaction but drummed his fingers along a vellum that rested atop his desk. “Eager to have your new paramour buy you out from the Order hrm? And what of Eryael, will you try to lure him back? You’re artistically inclined or at least the documents suggest.” He paused his hand and regarded her with a cruel smile, “I’ve never had the pleasure.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She opted not to address his second question and instead correct him on the details of his first, “the Order of the Lily does not deal in slavery or indentured servitude, I am free to resign at will. However, Lord Anduin is offering them a fair amount to ensure that we part amicably. Though my worth to them is obviously diminished along with my credibility.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” offered her a dark smile. “Yes, a bit of a novelty now, aren’t you? No longer a main attraction. Still my contacts at the bank suggest that Lord Anduin is pulling together a prince’s ransom. At least someone still thinks you are worth that kind of trouble. Are you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana didn’t respond, keeping her expressionless gaze on him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” stood from behind his desk in a precise, clipped motion. He announced, “well then, there is one more bit of business to conclude. You will join me in the garden,” he gestured behind her towards the door and added with a barely suppressed maliciousness, “I trust you remember the way, if not, permit me to &#039;&#039;&#039;show&#039;&#039;&#039; you.”&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;A letter crafted in the middle of the night on Phoenatos 28th, 5121.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The folded parchment bears no other detail on it except the word “Diamond” in a neat, black ink across the front&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I apologize for not writing again since the sentence was commuted. It is difficult to ensure that these will get to you without the risk of any obtrusion. I have found myself in the West for the time being. Making contact with old connections for old purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You were always my council, my heart and head are never to be trusted. I worry that my time away has made me soft and weak. The long years are giving me a desire to resign myself from all this wretched business. Is that pathetic? If I do press forward am I being stubborn? A part of me feels like I have already invested so much, I have to see an end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear, I find myself questioning if I am foolish. What kind of madness am I infected with that I would continue to give myself to this thankless cause? Isn’t everything I lost enough of a reason to abandon my foolish need for closure? For resolution? There is another aspect of all this too, one I dare not even put down on the page lest the documentation of it makes it more real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would give anything to be in your radiant presence again but for now your words will more than suffice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your Loving Cousin,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ruby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;A letter crafted in the morning on Eoantos 23rd, 5121.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Uniana held her quill above the parchment and considered for a moment that she should write the following in their coded hand. Upon further reflection, the nature of the letter spoke to honesty and the absence of clandestine operations in her life, so she wrote freely in Elven.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beloved Cousin,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope this finds you ever radiant and in proud spirits. Vyctus seems to be thriving with his naval endeavors and I hear that Lear is once more the talk of the Ardenai court with his charm and steady aim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By now you have learned that I have left the Order of the Lily, my last contract fulfilled and myself now retired. My credibility amongst certain circles tarnished after my exposed allegiance during the war, my movements would never hold the power they once did. At least not as a courtesan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that brings to the point of this letter. These last few months I have been keeping the company of Lord Teveriel Anduin, who you know to be of good character and renowned as a hero among his house. He has inherited the title and estates of his father after his passing during the war. Some fifteen years ago we were so much in each other’s orbit but now the pull is undeniable. As the matriarch of our house, I seek your blessing if there is the opportunity for a formal alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The fine scripting on the vellum becomes a bit less neat.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know I have not always brought honor to our family and so your council in this matter will be heeded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Love,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;She took great care once more as she addressed the front with “Lady Lysistrata Scio”&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

The fires in the grand hall were roaring but only the loudest pops and crackles were heard over the litany of conversations and the upbeat, rhythmic playing of the orchestra. Everywhere she looked were glittering metallic ornaments and ladies garbed in rich jewel toned velvet. Her own gown felt unnecessarily warm between the barrage of the fires and the density of the crowded room. It made her feel flush or perhaps that was the passing smile of a familiar face across the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evergreen and gingerbread hung heavy in the air and she could almost taste the cinnamon and nutmeg of the mulled wine. Almost. Because none of this was real. Just another meditative daydream in an effort to escape the grim reality of her cold, dark cell somewhere in the labyrinthian building of the Ta&#039;Illistim Keep. The pleasant noise of her dream was replaced by the constant patter of dripping water from the ceiling. A soft sob could be heard from down the hall within another cell. Uniana rolled on her cot and shut her eyes, trying not curse Ronan for the thousandth time. She hoped briefly that execution would come quickly, she couldn&#039;t take another winter in solitude. &#039;&#039;She wouldn&#039;t.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

It was the sixth evening of their honeymoon in Ta’Nalfein and everything in her soul called to Uniana to remain in their shared bed. Yet, who knew when they would return to Ta&#039;Nalfein again. At least some business would require her attention before more pleasure. She had made time to dive deeper into the organization known as the Sparrows of the Night Queen, she and her new husband had visited some family and prominent shops and that left one final distraction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had barely put her feet on the floor when her husband asked with a hint of disappointment, &amp;quot;you still mean to go then?&amp;quot; Her dark curls shifted subtly around her face as she nodded wordlessly which prompted him to rise as well. They dressed in cloaks with encompassing hoods and made their way to the distant side of the city to a small domed basilica trimmed in ivory marble. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curved doors were open allowing for the quiet interior to be cooled by the sea air. Uniana stepped in first followed by Teveriel who narrowed his eyes as he studied the dim sanctuary. Uniana had no sooner pushed back her hood when a robed figure approached, arms outstretched. &amp;quot;I was hoping you would pay us a visit,&amp;quot; the older elf&#039;s voice was warm and his demeanor full of familiarity. Uniana embraced him and he put an arm around her, nodding over to Teveriel. &amp;quot;You are very welcome here, Lord of Vaalor.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The older elf and Uniana began to walk down the aisle that led to the altar. Teveriel shifted a moment and considered following them but opted to sit and allow the two a private reunion. Teveriel watched them as they whispered back and forth with smiles, his own lips set firm with displeasure as they drew closer to an ivory statue of an elf with rose vines binding his wrists, the thorns piercing into the stone with such detail that it appeared as pliable flesh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The duo bowed their heads before the statue and continued in muted conversation. The priest disappeared and returned, taking Uniana by the arm as he escorted her back to Teveriel who could now hear some of their conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We didn&#039;t win,&amp;quot; the priest said emotionlessly, &amp;quot;and yet we did not lose. You are a good ambassador, you could have been a good scion but that was not your path,&amp;quot; and the priest looked out into the pews to Teveriel who sat in a terse silence. &amp;quot;You are in a cycle of pleasure and beauty, doesn&#039;t the pain and loss you felt make it all the sweeter?&amp;quot; He did not let Uniana answer, &amp;quot;I have something for you. You earned it. You can walk in the light but the shadow of Lornon will always welcome you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He opened a small box of night-dark glass rimmed in pearls that were just as black. Even as he opened it the jeweled item inside sparkled in the sparse light. His aged hands held it reverently and he lifted it to crown her. As it blended into Uniana&#039;s dark cherry curls the blazestar halo began to fade away and her form was bathed in a muted crimson essence. Teveriel took in a deep, steading breath. &lt;br /&gt;

Walls purposefully half-finished rise like jagged teeth against the sky, unjoined and without a ceiling to offer both a view of the sky and of the surrounding wood around the bath. Brass spouts trickle water, and small burners allow the cloying scent of tuberose incense to perfume the air. In patches of jewel pigments, murals adorn the walls of the bath, the figures oddly distorted beneath the rippling water.}}&lt;br /&gt;

A thorn vine-carved chaise lounge sits in one of the unused corners, while a simple pedestal stands before the remaining pillar supporting a concave bowl of water littered with rose petals.}}&lt;br /&gt;

=== Natural Sanctuaries ===&lt;br /&gt;
Major Sanctuary will allow unaligned characters to enter a natural sanctuary based on the spirits of the area they cast the spell in. However, if anyone, including aligned characters, wishes to enter a specific natural sanctuary, they can cast this spell while holding a [[runestone]] corresponding to the desired sanctuary (e.g. using a taiga runestone to get to the Taiga Sanctuary). An unaligned character is one that has no set deity per CONVERT and is not to be confused with being set to OTHER.&lt;br /&gt;

|desc=The walls of the sanctuary rise in a swirling vortex of beige light, sand, and dirt, and are in constant motion, sporadically blocking out the light of the sun above.  The howl of the winds is almost deafening, yet the ground remains smooth and calm.  Falling like snow, a fine rain of glittering gold sand sprinkles in calm contrast to the chaotic walls.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{RoomDescription&lt;br /&gt;
|roomname=Dune Sanctuary&lt;br /&gt;
|desc=Rolling hills of golden sand sparkle in the silvery moonlight, their faces rippled with the pattern of a wind that tattooed the landscape with its ethereal tendrils.  Crickets sing a discordant song, while sparrows and finches rise from their daytime shelters into the cooling desert air.  A lone well, dusty and brown, rests at the heart of the sanctuary, its rope swaying back and forth in a hypnotic rhythm.}}&lt;br /&gt;

You are bathed in a forest green light and your surroundings shift...&lt;br /&gt;
{{RoomDescription&lt;br /&gt;
|roomname=Forest Sanctuary&lt;br /&gt;
|desc=Ringed on all sides by the protective embrace of enormous redwood trees, the sanctuary is filled with shafts of light and the lyrical song of a lark as it lazily drifts from bough to bough.  Soft moss carpets the ground and clings to the dark wood, though it climbs no higher than three hand-spans, and five-fingered leaves flutter on a wind that is light and cool.  A deep feeling of antiquity fills the air and is accented by the subtle groaning of the rooted giants.}}&lt;br /&gt;

|desc=Centered within a ring of mineral pools, and rising from the ground like an enormous anthill, is a volcanic rock-ringed geyser.  The aqua blue waters bubble and churn as the vent prepares for another burst of sky high waters.  Deposits of iron, rhodocrosite, rhyolite, and spongy rock speckle the landscape, which glistens wetly in the ambient light.}}&lt;br /&gt;

|desc=Cupped in a bowl between mountain peaks, the glacier resembles a smooth, uncut aquamarine of enormous proportions.  Plump flakes drift downward on a chill breeze, their lazy movements accented by the hoarse call of the wind through the ragged stone.  Faint cracks and groans can be heard at random moments as the mountains and glacier converse in their own venerable tongue.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{RoomDescription&lt;br /&gt;
|roomname=Island Sanctuary&lt;br /&gt;
|desc=Surrounded on all sides by water, the sanctuary is a small island of sand and beach grasses. A single pine tree reaches its verdant tendrils towards a sky that is sapphire blue and devoid of clouds. Crashing insistently against the white sands is the ebb and flow of the ocean, its passage creating a soothing breeze.}}&lt;br /&gt;

Water creeps between the rocks ringing the sanctuary and flows through the area in a sinuous pattern over smooth stones, its passage melodic and calming.  The air is heavy with a dampness that seeps to the bones and is nearly too chill to tolerate.}}&lt;br /&gt;

|desc=Molten lava, bright orange and fiery hot, surrounds the obsidian island on all sides as it swiftly flows past.  Tiny bubbles rise and pop along the surface and randomly spray the air with embers that twist and burn.  A searing heat radiates from the boiling river, though the heart of the sanctuary remains only warm.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{RoomDescription&lt;br /&gt;
|roomname=Luck Sanctuary&lt;br /&gt;
|desc=Bands of color cut across the sanctuary and illuminate everything in their path with a powerful glow.  Reds transition to oranges, which become yellows in an arc that eventually melds into green, blue, and violet.  Beyond the edges of color, the world is void of light and hue, though it is filled with merry laughter and a sound like the clinking of countless coins cascading to the ground.}}&lt;br /&gt;

|desc=Twisted banyans rise from the stagnant waters that surround the small, dry island; their limbs spread wide until woven into a canopy of leaves and vines.  Thick mosses carpet the ground, creating an unnatural silence that is frequently punctuated by the tapping of a woodpecker.  A dark shape moves beneath the surface of the water, disrupting floating leaves and causing ripples to lap at the muddy shore.}}&lt;br /&gt;

|desc=Winds howl and gust beyond the opening of the sanctuary, which is a black hole of ragged stone and dangling tree roots.  Smooth walls taper as they reach towards the back of the cave, and the ground is speckled with large and small rock formations that provide natural furniture for the small space.  A thin band of water glistens upon one of the wall faces and sparkles faintly in the ambient light.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{RoomDescription&lt;br /&gt;

|desc=Tranquil and serene, the surface of the ocean below you is as smooth as glass and equally reflective. Golden motes of light glisten as they pass through the smooth water to disappear in the shadowy depths, while random clouds drift past the translucent walls of the sanctuary to create darker images below.  The air is still with a feeling of waiting, as if the world holds its breath, and sound is muffled.}}&lt;br /&gt;

Violets, bluebells, and chamomile flowers dot the landscape, where rich grasses rise and fall with the wind.  The rushing water is deep blue and rainbow salmon arch their bodies against the current to reach the river&#039;s zenith.}}&lt;br /&gt;

Transparent walls swirl with the flow of water that parts around the sanctuary.  Some of the clear liquid bubbles up and over the strange, translucent dome ceiling.  A spray of color tickles the moist air as a cool breeze passes by.}}&lt;br /&gt;

Within the shelter, a lazy swirl of snow dances in the ambient illumination and falls to the soft, smooth ground.  A series of icy mounds provide resting places, while a warm fire burns fitfully at the center of the room.  Oddly, the ice does not melt from the heat of the blaze.}}&lt;br /&gt;

|desc=Ringed on all sides by fiddlehead and silver-leaf ferns, the spring is fed by a small stream that can be glimpsed through the sprawling vegetation.  Tulips, water lilies, and honeysuckle vines dot the banks, while a fallen log stretches across the spring and houses the echoing chirp of a cricket.  A trio of water sliders dances across the surface, creating ripples that radiate outward.}}&lt;br /&gt;

|desc=The petite and narrow stream winds its way through a wall of vegetation along the edges of the sanctuary and then disappears.  Tiny pebbles within the water glisten and provide a soothing, burbling backdrop to the subtle sounds of the surrounding vegetation.  Strands of tall reeds add their own chime, while dark lotuses gaze at their reflections in the crystal clear water.}}&lt;br /&gt;

Swirls of energy lick upward from the floor to coil on anything in their path, their tendrils warm and comforting.  Random solar flares pulsate through the sky in flashes of bright white light, and a constant wind, dry and warm, stirs the air.}}&lt;br /&gt;

|desc=Large and gnarled, the roots of the mangrove form parabolic arches as they rise from the fetid swamp in a ring around the small island sanctuary.  Clinging lichens, pale yellow and red, snake their way up the thick trunks, while the limbs are heavy with near black vines and mosses.  A screech owl makes its presence known at regular intervals, its strange cry echoing off the murky, dark waters and is accompanied by the constant hum of mosquitos.}}&lt;br /&gt;

|desc=Water-smoothed boulders and stones surround the edges of the sanctuary in an earthy barrier on three sides, while the rush of the open ocean stretches beyond.  Moist sand is speckled with tiny tidal pools that house urchins, crabs, and starfish, while spotted periwinkle snails cling to the boulders that are submerged in water.  Several long skeins of seaweed lap at the shore as the tide pushes them along.}}&lt;br /&gt;

Hundreds of laden limbs rise from the monstrous trunk only to curve over to create a living umbrella of greenery that shelters its denizens from the world beyond.  The soft chatter of chipmunks and squirrels rises and falls through the area, its source somewhere deep within the tree.}}&lt;br /&gt;

Upon one side of the sanctuary, the ocean laps at the sandy coastline in a quiet rhythmic motion, while the palm fronds of enormous trees on the opposite end sway in counterpoint to the tide.  A cluster of lazy clouds drifts above over a sky that is brilliant blue and is speckled with the vibrant hues of strange, long-feathered birds that squawk lyrically as they pass.}}&lt;br /&gt;

Rocky formations melted and twisted from the extreme temperatures throughout smoke slightly and radiate a burning heat that is almost stifling.  A deep rumble vibrates through the glassy floor and dislodges soot and ash from their resting places high above.}}&lt;br /&gt;

Faint swirls move the cool air around, and a quiet song, its words ancient and forgotten before they can be remembered, plays a haunting tune that fills the sanctuary.  The mist clings to the ground and shifts with the slightest movement through the area.}}&lt;br /&gt;

Tufts of grass cling to a small game trail that winds its way between the slender giants, the edges dotted with dark stones and blue slate. A brown wren warbles quietly as it gazes down from above, its body nearly hidden against the pale bark.}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[image:gtcfounders.png|500px|thumb|right|Left to right: Founders Uniana, Aureliano, and Teveriel meet to formalize plans for the organization of the Gilded Talon Consortium, 5122&amp;lt;br&amp;gt; Artist: [https://www.deviantart.com/sonya100years Sonya100years]]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mission Statement==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	The Gilded Talon Consortium supports legal and safe sailing and trade by its presence in the Sea of Mists adjacent to [[Ta&#039;Vaalor]]. An independent organization not officially sanctioned on behalf of the crown, the Consortium nevertheless seeks to exemplify the noble spirit of House Vaalor in all of its dealings by keeping their operations entirely blameless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
	The Gilded Talon Consortium was born from a proposal made by Aureliano Tiberius to Lady Uniana and Lord Teveriel Anduin shortly after the announcement of a new harbor being built east of the City of Swords.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Insignia===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;pre{{log3}}&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You see Lady Uniana Anduin Nalfein the Fan Dancer.&lt;br /&gt;
She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
She is shorter than average.  She appears to have come of age.  She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin. She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair swept up into a spiralling bun secured with a pair of matte blackwood hairsticks upswept at the tips into gilded absinthe jade fans.  She has an unlined face and subtly arched eyebrows.  Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.&lt;br /&gt;
She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
She is wearing a knotwork bronze brooch, a loosely-draped jade silk robe dragging a weighty patina-trellised train over a hip-slashed verdigris satin dress with billowing cutout sleeves, a pair of layered jade bangles dangling bronze-banded knotted silk tassels, a raven-hued nacre velvet fan bound in chains of black pearl, a bronze-washed verdant silk fan framed by wilted kelyn vines, and some heeled viridian crepe slippers bordered by ebony pearl beadwork. &amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Uniana gazes about with intense interest at her surroundings, her pale lilac eyes pausing briefly on everything nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Lumnea Meadow, Glimaer Pool] &lt;br /&gt;
Formed by piles of smooth rocks, the brook tumbles into a large natural pool.  The water eddies and swirls about as it slips inexorably towards the tiny waterfall at the basin&#039;s far edge, where it finally spills over the rocks and continues its journey towards the river.  Moonlight shimmers across the surface, painting the landscape in a cloak of pale silver.  You also see a rosewood chair with overstuffed cushions, a vibrant red-gold fire puppy with a crest of flickering flames, a gold-horned regal white unicorn, a gold-horned pearlescent white unicorn, an ebonwood chair draped with emerald silk, a bolt of tulle lace, a narrow path and some cushioned benches.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Lord Murstyr, the Argent Mirror&#039;s attendants, Myasara who is sitting, Perigourd, Missoni, Horsewoman Meliyara, Kayse, Erinress, Chatelaine Saesa, Chatelaine Carren who is sitting, Lady of Manor Katara who is sitting, Aethyra, Trallihn, Chatelaine Traiva who is sitting, Maikoya, Squire Legionnaire Agathilea, Lady Elaejia who is sitting, Master Aendir who is sitting, Lady in Waiting Lynaera, Lady Uniana, Lucrecea who is sitting, Celothor, Tabubu who is sitting, Dendum, Lady Avawren, Lady Akenna who is sitting, Commodore Nodyre, Dragoon Dayzed, Lady Laehna who is sitting, Hadya who is sitting, Relic Hunter Ordim, Lianea&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious paths: north&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana measuredly begins, &amp;quot;This is an uncomfortable subject for me to discuss and first may I state clearly before you that I, Uniana Anduin Nalfein, am a loyalist and a monarchist. I would be remiss to not acknowledge that the unease I feel is amplified by being in the presence of The Argent.&amp;quot; She pauses and offers a glance towards the Mirror, bowing her head in deference. &amp;quot;I find solace in the fact that it is a space to promote the sharing of ideologies and viewpoints even so controversial as this one.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana places her hands to either side of her, allowing for her posture and demeanor to remain neutral. She presents, &amp;quot;let me first introduce this topic with the answer to a question: what is going on in my home country?&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana passionately says, &amp;quot;Nalfein is a beautiful nation filled with talented artists, honorable arbiters, hardworking farmers and perhaps the best naval unit on any coast of Elanthia. Yet that is not what you think about when you think about our illustrious City-State. It has become a caricature of itself, overshadowed by the looming narrative that we are poisoners, schemers and assassins.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod almost imperceptibly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana says, &amp;quot;Why am I telling you this? Because the Sparrows aim to do so as well. They wish to rally others to their cause against unchecked assassination and in their minds, a monarchy that has become a silent dictatorship. A monarchy that has created a ranking nobility who is more concerned with keeping in with the fashion of the season than addressing real concerns of the people. There are whispers that this burgeoning resistance is growing and news of their swelling ranks will no doubt spread north.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana points down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana rhetorically asks, &amp;quot;So -- who are the Sparrows?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana asks, &amp;quot;I recently honeymooned in Ta&#039;Nalfein and my gracious husband was understanding when I stated that while there I had plans to make contact with a group that claimed to be part of the Sparrows of the Night Queen. Their namesake was a talented artist and dancer. Quite famous and lauded but she had the audacity to allow the moniker &amp;quot;Queen&amp;quot; to become attached to her name.&amp;quot; Leaning forward, Uniana arches an eyebrow as she poses, &amp;quot;was it a misstep for someone who made their career from hitting the mark or was she always intending to play a dangerous game?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You close your eyes for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana takes brief pause to acknowledge Salnim and Kasendra with the smallest of nods.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You glance between Kasendra and Salnim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod politely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana leans back into her passive posture, chin raised to assist in enunciation as she continues to unravel her story, &amp;quot;when she mysteriously died it was like a beacon was lit among other young people within and without the court. You see many of the tales of conspiring are exaggerated when it comes to day-to-day life in Ta&#039;Nalfein but those at the epicenter of the Court of the Black Rose feel the strain of perfection and defining the essence of civility constantly.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasendra gives a small nod of her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasendra sits down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salnim inclines his head slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salnim sits down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana gently instructs, &amp;quot;And I ask you to spare some empathy for the plight of these people who spend their existence within this political sphere. Every move is measured and calculated, where you feel as though you are constantly judged, paranoid that someone wishes you ill or that there is danger in simple things like eating or going for a ride on your horse. It makes for individuals who are engulfed in anxiety or feelings of inadequacy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana offers as a brief aside, &amp;quot;not to mention if you are desperately dedicated to having the perfect color of nacre velvet for the season it makes it difficult to actually do any real governing.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana counters, &amp;quot;Now, the alternative viewpoint to this is that the cream rises to the top. Those who are honed to rule, strengthened by adversity and undaunted by this level of excellence should be the ones to lead the rest.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze confidently at Uniana.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana pauses and looks reflective, a ponderous knitting of her brow before she continues.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana rhetorically asks, &amp;quot;How do the Sparrows operate?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana says, &amp;quot;This is something that understandably the individuals I had contact with would not expand upon. Their network relies on discretion and revealing anything that would compromise their agents was off-the-table. Even some of the accounts from the papers and journals seem to be obfuscated from printing details. Though I was able to discern that based on the locations and individuals involved in incidents related to this group that their saturation into the recesses of the government and the court itself has no insignificant level of penetration.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana says, &amp;quot;What they were open to talking about is some of their combat techniques which I took great interest in. The Sparrows almost universally engage only when necessary, in close quarters and blend graceful shifts of their body weight alongside bladed fans. I spoke to a couple of eyewitnesses to some encounters with the guard and was able to piece together that they often use incapacitating moves at the throat, against the interior of the wrist to disarm or at the tendon of the heel.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana articulates, &amp;quot;On the presence of fans in Nalfein.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana says, &amp;quot;The other evening it seemed to denote a curiosity with regards to men and their use of fans. And it is true that the tradition of dancing and fan-speech has been a way for women to express themselves but fans are ever present in Ta&#039;Nalfein. The winters are mild, the spring incomparable and the fall late but the summers are balmy. Hot and humid weather drives fans to be as common to any person in Nalfein as a coin purse.  In the marketplaces the tradespeople have a language of fans all their own as they set the price of eggs and bags of flour each morning, communicating across the bazaar in a flurry of movement from large colored fans. Our naval marshallers use fans as they stand out on jetties to guide ships into the harbor. At night, they have fans inset with blades of aragless to help usher them through the darkness.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana surmises, &amp;quot;Fans are a part of our heritage, they are easy to conceal and good for close combat. The Sparrows are much like their namesake, diving in towards their prey and out again in a blur. This makes these weapons ideal for such a group.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Celothor traces the edges of his knotwork tattoo, carefully highlighting the claws that are inked near its lower edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana pleasantly says, &amp;quot;If I may demonstrate a couple for you now.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana says, &amp;quot;You will note that a lot of these movements are balletic in measure and form, the Night Queen herself was the premier ballerina of Nalfein. However, I am also wearing shoes with heels.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana explains, &amp;quot;Most dancers would know it is a risk given that even the most minor of incorrect positions can find one with a devastating ankle injury and for the Sparrows that would mean apprehension and all that comes with treason against the crown. Yet the agents of the court began taking notice of young ladies who donned flats in court instead of heeled shoes as a method to weed them out from the populace and so the Sparrows began a strict training regime to execute their movements while in low-heels to help avoid detection.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pointing her right foot, Uniana slowly moves it in a circle around the ground in front of her and to the side as she shifts her weight and raises her fans, ready to attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a flick of her wrist, Uniana opens her nacre velvet fan and rotates it, displaying its iridescent ebon shadowy whorls and the faenor blades inside its slats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana rotates her open verdant silk fan to display its lush green curving thorns and the kelyn blades inside its slats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana extends both fans outward to either side of her body, the blades at even lines with the length of her arms. Her right leg comes up off the ground, even and slow as she brings her arms together, chest facing forward.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana brings back her nacre velvet fan with a sedate pace until her bent elbow is extended behind her. She takes a pause, remaining still and waiting. Then without any inclination she punches forward with the blades of the fan, her leg behind her sweeps in an arc that causes her body to revert.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana crouches low, the swift movement causing her layered jade bangles to clink together as her velvet fan leads a vicious arcing sweep heel-high from the ground.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana extends one leg out from her verdigris satin dress and balances on the other, lofting herself back to standing as her fans slash diagonally.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lifting her open verdant silk fan above her head, Uniana easily spins it to create a lush green blur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With its blades pointing down, Uniana lifts her open verdant silk fan above her head and arches her back.  She holds this pose for several moments, showing off the lines of her physique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana takes a deep breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana says, &amp;quot;They also have enchanted their fans with dispersion devices. A gust of wind or thunderclap to make crowds forced away or encouraged to flee. Both protecting the safety of others while making a path for an easy retreat.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana lightly claps her fans together above her head, and a streak of lightning dissipates upward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana rests her fans down to her sides, the material nearly disappearing in the folds of her jade silk overrobe.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana formally says, &amp;quot;In Conclusion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana asserts, &amp;quot;The reputation of Nalfein is not untrue but perhaps exaggerated to some extent. Every rose has its thorn and perhaps these stories offer our people another layer of protection against those who would seek to move against our interests.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deep in thought, Uniana closes her nacre velvet fan and absently taps it against the underside of her chin before flicking it back open.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana concludes, &amp;quot;It seems almost ironic that I am sharing this tale and we are witnessing this anomaly with the roses. I am nothing of a gardener but I know enough that a common way to reuse ash is to lay it down on the ground and help balance the soil. Perhaps when the Sparrows envision fanning a blaze of revolution their end goal is not total conflagration but merely to balance the soil a bit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Holding her closed nacre velvet fan, Uniana rolls her left wrist in a circle as she bows.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Lady Uniana Anduin Nalfein the Fan Dancer.&lt;br /&gt;
:She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is shorter than average.  She appears to have come of age.  She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin.  :She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair swept up into a spiralling bun secured with a pair of matte blackwood hairsticks upswept at the tips into gilded absinthe jade fans.  She has an unlined face and subtly arched eyebrows.  Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.&lt;br /&gt;
:She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing a knotwork bronze brooch, a loosely-draped jade silk robe dragging a weighty patina-trellised train over a hip-slashed verdigris satin dress with billowing cutout sleeves, a pair of layered jade bangles dangling bronze-banded knotted silk tassels, a raven-hued nacre velvet fan bound in chains of black pearl, a bronze-washed verdant silk fan framed by wilted kelyn vines, and some heeled viridian crepe slippers bordered by ebony pearl beadwork.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;Uniana gazes about with intense interest at her surroundings, her pale lilac eyes pausing briefly on everything nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[Lumnea Meadow, Glimaer Pool] &lt;br /&gt;
Formed by piles of smooth rocks, the brook tumbles into a large natural pool.  The water eddies and swirls about as it slips inexorably towards the tiny waterfall at the basin&#039;s far edge, where it finally spills over the rocks and continues its journey towards the river.  Moonlight shimmers across the surface, painting the landscape in a cloak of pale silver.  You also see a rosewood chair with overstuffed cushions, a vibrant red-gold fire puppy with a crest of flickering flames, a gold-horned regal white unicorn, a gold-horned pearlescent white unicorn, an ebonwood chair draped with emerald silk, a bolt of tulle lace, a narrow path and some cushioned benches.&lt;br /&gt;
Also here: Lord Murstyr, the Argent Mirror&#039;s attendants, Myasara who is sitting, Perigourd, Missoni, Horsewoman Meliyara, Kayse, Erinress, Chatelaine Saesa, Chatelaine Carren who is sitting, Lady of Manor Katara who is sitting, Aethyra, Trallihn, Chatelaine Traiva who is sitting, Maikoya, Squire Legionnaire Agathilea, Lady Elaejia who is sitting, Master Aendir who is sitting, Lady in Waiting Lynaera, Lady Uniana, Lucrecea who is sitting, Celothor, Tabubu who is sitting, Dendum, Lady Avawren, Lady Akenna who is sitting, Commodore Nodyre, Dragoon Dayzed, Lady Laehna who is sitting, Hadya who is sitting, Relic Hunter Ordim, Lianea&lt;br /&gt;
Obvious paths: north&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana measuredly begins, &amp;quot;This is an uncomfortable subject for me to discuss and first may I state clearly before you that I, Uniana Anduin Nalfein, am a loyalist and a monarchist. I would be remiss to not acknowledge that the unease I feel is amplified by being in the presence of The Argent.&amp;quot; She pauses and offers a glance towards the Mirror, bowing her head in deference. &amp;quot;I find solace in the fact that it is a space to promote the sharing of ideologies and viewpoints even so controversial as this one.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana places her hands to either side of her, allowing for her posture and demeanor to remain neutral. She presents, &amp;quot;let me first introduce this topic with the answer to a question: what is going on in my home country?&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana passionately says, &amp;quot;Nalfein is a beautiful nation filled with talented artists, honorable arbiters, hardworking farmers and perhaps the best naval unit on any coast of Elanthia. Yet that is not what you think about when you think about our illustrious City-State. It has become a caricature of itself, overshadowed by the looming narrative that we are poisoners, schemers and assassins.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod almost imperceptibly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana says, &amp;quot;Why am I telling you this? Because the Sparrows aim to do so as well. They wish to rally others to their cause against unchecked assassination and in their minds, a monarchy that has become a silent dictatorship. A monarchy that has created a ranking nobility who is more concerned with keeping in with the fashion of the season than addressing real concerns of the people. There are whispers that this burgeoning resistance is growing and news of their swelling ranks will no doubt spread north.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana points down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana rhetorically asks, &amp;quot;So -- who are the Sparrows?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana asks, &amp;quot;I recently honeymooned in Ta&#039;Nalfein and my gracious husband was understanding when I stated that while there I had plans to make contact with a group that claimed to be part of the Sparrows of the Night Queen. Their namesake was a talented artist and dancer. Quite famous and lauded but she had the audacity to allow the moniker &amp;quot;Queen&amp;quot; to become attached to her name.&amp;quot; Leaning forward, Uniana arches an eyebrow as she poses, &amp;quot;was it a misstep for someone who made their career from hitting the mark or was she always intending to play a dangerous game?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You close your eyes for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana takes brief pause to acknowledge Salnim and Kasendra with the smallest of nods.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You glance between Kasendra and Salnim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You nod politely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana leans back into her passive posture, chin raised to assist in enunciation as she continues to unravel her story, &amp;quot;when she mysteriously died it was like a beacon was lit among other young people within and without the court. You see many of the tales of conspiring are exaggerated when it comes to day-to-day life in Ta&#039;Nalfein but those at the epicenter of the Court of the Black Rose feel the strain of perfection and defining the essence of civility constantly.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasendra gives a small nod of her head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kasendra sits down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salnim inclines his head slightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Salnim sits down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana gently instructs, &amp;quot;And I ask you to spare some empathy for the plight of these people who spend their existence within this political sphere. Every move is measured and calculated, where you feel as though you are constantly judged, paranoid that someone wishes you ill or that there is danger in simple things like eating or going for a ride on your horse. It makes for individuals who are engulfed in anxiety or feelings of inadequacy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana offers as a brief aside, &amp;quot;not to mention if you are desperately dedicated to having the perfect color of nacre velvet for the season it makes it difficult to actually do any real governing.&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana counters, &amp;quot;Now, the alternative viewpoint to this is that the cream rises to the top. Those who are honed to rule, strengthened by adversity and undaunted by this level of excellence should be the ones to lead the rest.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You gaze confidently at Uniana.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana pauses and looks reflective, a ponderous knitting of her brow before she continues.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana rhetorically asks, &amp;quot;How do the Sparrows operate?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana says, &amp;quot;This is something that understandably the individuals I had contact with would not expand upon. Their network relies on discretion and revealing anything that would compromise their agents was off-the-table. Even some of the accounts from the papers and journals seem to be obfuscated from printing details. Though I was able to discern that based on the locations and individuals involved in incidents related to this group that their saturation into the recesses of the government and the court itself has no insignificant level of penetration.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana says, &amp;quot;What they were open to talking about is some of their combat techniques which I took great interest in. The Sparrows almost universally engage only when necessary, in close quarters and blend graceful shifts of their body weight alongside bladed fans. I spoke to a couple of eyewitnesses to some encounters with the guard and was able to piece together that they often use incapacitating moves at the throat, against the interior of the wrist to disarm or at the tendon of the heel.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana articulates, &amp;quot;On the presence of fans in Nalfein.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana says, &amp;quot;The other evening it seemed to denote a curiosity with regards to men and their use of fans. And it is true that the tradition of dancing and fan-speech has been a way for women to express themselves but fans are ever present in Ta&#039;Nalfein. The winters are mild, the spring incomparable and the fall late but the summers are balmy. Hot and humid weather drives fans to be as common to any person in Nalfein as a coin purse.  In the marketplaces the tradespeople have a language of fans all their own as they set the price of eggs and bags of flour each morning, communicating across the bazaar in a flurry of movement from large colored fans. Our naval marshallers use fans as they stand out on jetties to guide ships into the harbor. At night, they have fans inset with blades of aragless to help usher them through the darkness.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana surmises, &amp;quot;Fans are a part of our heritage, they are easy to conceal and good for close combat. The Sparrows are much like their namesake, diving in towards their prey and out again in a blur. This makes these weapons ideal for such a group.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Celothor traces the edges of his knotwork tattoo, carefully highlighting the claws that are inked near its lower edge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana pleasantly says, &amp;quot;If I may demonstrate a couple for you now.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana says, &amp;quot;You will note that a lot of these movements are balletic in measure and form, the Night Queen herself was the premier ballerina of Nalfein. However, I am also wearing shoes with heels.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana explains, &amp;quot;Most dancers would know it is a risk given that even the most minor of incorrect positions can find one with a devastating ankle injury and for the Sparrows that would mean apprehension and all that comes with treason against the crown. Yet the agents of the court began taking notice of young ladies who donned flats in court instead of heeled shoes as a method to weed them out from the populace and so the Sparrows began a strict training regime to execute their movements while in low-heels to help avoid detection.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pointing her right foot, Uniana slowly moves it in a circle around the ground in front of her and to the side as she shifts her weight and raises her fans, ready to attack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With a flick of her wrist, Uniana opens her nacre velvet fan and rotates it, displaying its iridescent ebon shadowy whorls and the faenor blades inside its slats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana rotates her open verdant silk fan to display its lush green curving thorns and the kelyn blades inside its slats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana extends both fans outward to either side of her body, the blades at even lines with the length of her arms. Her right leg comes up off the ground, even and slow as she brings her arms together, chest facing forward.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana brings back her nacre velvet fan with a sedate pace until her bent elbow is extended behind her. She takes a pause, remaining still and waiting. Then without any inclination she punches forward with the blades of the fan, her leg behind her sweeps in an arc that causes her body to revert.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana crouches low, the swift movement causing her layered jade bangles to clink together as her velvet fan leads a vicious arcing sweep heel-high from the ground.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana extends one leg out from her verdigris satin dress and balances on the other, lofting herself back to standing as her fans slash diagonally.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lifting her open verdant silk fan above her head, Uniana easily spins it to create a lush green blur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With its blades pointing down, Uniana lifts her open verdant silk fan above her head and arches her back.  She holds this pose for several moments, showing off the lines of her physique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana takes a deep breath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana says, &amp;quot;They also have enchanted their fans with dispersion devices. A gust of wind or thunderclap to make crowds forced away or encouraged to flee. Both protecting the safety of others while making a path for an easy retreat.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana lightly claps her fans together above her head, and a streak of lightning dissipates upward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Uniana rests her fans down to her sides, the material nearly disappearing in the folds of her jade silk overrobe.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana formally says, &amp;quot;In Conclusion.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana asserts, &amp;quot;The reputation of Nalfein is not untrue but perhaps exaggerated to some extent. Every rose has its thorn and perhaps these stories offer our people another layer of protection against those who would seek to move against our interests.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deep in thought, Uniana closes her nacre velvet fan and absently taps it against the underside of her chin before flicking it back open.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana concludes, &amp;quot;It seems almost ironic that I am sharing this tale and we are witnessing this anomaly with the roses. I am nothing of a gardener but I know enough that a common way to reuse ash is to lay it down on the ground and help balance the soil. Perhaps when the Sparrows envision fanning a blaze of revolution their end goal is not total conflagration but merely to balance the soil a bit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Holding her closed nacre velvet fan, Uniana rolls her left wrist in a circle as she bows.&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:UnianaoftheNalfein.jpg|thumb|Uniana and her expansive thistle tattoo, illustrated by brighnasa.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:TeverielUniana.png|thumb|Uniana and Teveriel on their way to the Festival of the Fallen ball, illustrated by Ashley Lange.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Lady Uniana Anduin Nalfein&#039;&#039;&#039; is a prominent socialite and currently maintains partial citizenship in [[Ta&#039;Vaalor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana was the only child of Lady Vlienive and Lord Chengric Le’Gondren [[Nalfein]]. Her father a minor noble and aspiring vintner, her mother of an ancient noble house and a former courtesan. She is the cousin of [[Lysistrata]], [[Lear]] and [[Vyctus]] Scio on her mother&#039;s side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she had come of age she was inducted to the Order of the Lily, a revered training house for the courtesan arts, though it was alleged to create operatives in all matters of the clandestine. When it was discovered that she had a latent aptitude for manipulating air currents she briefly was put into their elemancer program but her ability to pull and weave the flows of essence was sloppy and she seemed uninterested in attempting to apply herself to their rigorous research requirements. Even still, more recently she became something of a student of Lord [[Veythorne]], prior to his reclusion, learning more about the theology of air as well as the physical properties of the element. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After graduating from the Order of the Lily, she spent several years entertaining and offering companionship to the upper echelons of the City-States&#039; society. Hearsay suggests that sometime around 5102 her frequent trips to the West were due to her supposed involvement with the [[Dark Alliance]] and that she was perhaps intimately connected to the Painlord [[Eryael]]. It is rumored that at some point around 5107 Ta&#039;Illistim put her on trial for her supposed crimes towards the City-State during the second [[Griffin Sword Saga|Griffin Sword War]]. This could explain her complete disappearance from society and the gossip that she was serving as a lady&#039;s maid. At the end of summer 5121 she reappeared into society on retainer under the mysterious &amp;quot;H&amp;quot;. This would be her last assignation and she retired from her Order before the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She married Lord [[Teveriel (prime)|Teveriel]] Anduin Vaalor on Ivastaen the Twenty-First of 5122 and using her passion of cartography and understanding of air currents serves as the Chief Navigator for his fleet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Lady Uniana Le&#039;Gondren Nalfein the Socialite. &lt;br /&gt;
:She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is shorter than average.  She appears to have come of age.  She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin.  She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair twisted into loose ringlets.  She has an unlined face and subtly arched eyebrows.  Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.&lt;br /&gt;
:She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is holding an alum-slated viridian silk fan in her right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing a fanning necklet of cabochon emeralds and minute black pearls, a shoulder-gathered emerald satin chiton with a dramatic plunging neckline, an upward terminating faenor cincher of wrought thorn vines, a domed rich viridian faenor signet ring, and some soft ebon suede ankle-tied sandals beaded with oblong nephrites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;an alum-slated viridian silk fan&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Intricately etched to mimic the curve, length, and texture of a rose vine, three of the fan&#039;s alum slats are imbedded with tiny malachite chips, while the remaining three are carved into a twisted thorn shape.  Viridian marbrinus silk stretches between beautifully wrought slats and is painted with a blooming ebon rose, whose petals are appliqued with crushed velvet.  A pair of malachite cabochons is set within the alum handle, which is fitted with an ebon-veined viridian silk wrist strap.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;a domed rich viridian faenor signet ring&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;The signet is made of faenor in the design of an elven-style crest, divided in the imperial style. The background is composed of green jade with a single blood red spiral curling from the top to encompass a black rose. Set below the rose is a thistle of deep amethyst accented with hues of blood red, resting atop a black dagger. Flanked to the right side is a stalk of golden foxglove resting on an ebon wine goblet and to the left is a pure white lily with a blood red center.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wedding Attire===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Lady Uniana Anduin Nalfein.&lt;br /&gt;
:She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is shorter than average and has a nipped waist silhouette.  She appears to have come of age.  She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin.  She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair falling about her body in fragile tufts with some speckled pale apple blossoms amid the large, soft curls.  She has an unlined face and subtly arched eyebrows.  Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.  She has some helical nacreous vaalin chains adorned with some gold-dipped feathers dangling from her ears.&lt;br /&gt;
:She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is holding a feathery silk-tied bouquet of vibrant greenery and pale blossoms in her left hand.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing a hair-thin chain of electrum and nacre resting against the sternum, a long vert train of tonal silk forming dark-hearted roses and gilt-traced dragonstalks over a tiered-hem hunter green chiffon gown hung from two wispy diaphanous panels, a floriated petite lasimor band gracing the left ring finger, a voluminous jade silk dupioni underskirt warmed by honey sheens, and a pair of thick cork-heeled sandals secured by a cagelike array of gold samite straps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Sometime in 5105&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was in his nature to approach with humility but his demeanor now might even border on timid perhaps even fearful. After a lifetime of service and the multitude of times entering somewhere unheard, there was so much effort extended now into being respectful and quiet, almost silent. The study was darker than it should have been, a symptom of the prompt dismissal of any who dare to enter. The concentration of light was focused on a heavy wood desk. The silhouette of a fragile female elf leaned against the edge of the tabletop focused on what lay beneath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without looking up from the map that she so intently studied, her voice questioned with a tiredness she either couldn&#039;t manage to hide or no longer cared to, &amp;quot;what?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recent intruder offered in a gentle tone, &amp;quot;can I get you something? When was the last time you accepted a meal?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though her fist tightened her tone did not change as she repeated, &amp;quot;what is it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no getting around what had to be said and it felt like even a sigh of exasperation would be a wasted breath. He mustered all of the courage and strength that he had gained from being in the employ of such an infamous creature and explained, &amp;quot;The bank will loan no more on your credit and your accounts are exhausted. Perhaps it is time to consider calling off the expedition.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, the female elf lifted her face and settled her heavy purple-toned gaze upon her servant. Her demeanor was neither cold nor angry, she spoke evenly almost as a matter of fact, &amp;quot;then levy the estates, the vineyard, the lake house, sell the galleon. Clean out every closet, every jewelry box, anything of value that is remotely in my possession.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As her servant opened his mouth in what was sure to be a cautious protest she cut him off and made her intent clear once again. &amp;quot;The only conclusion to this endeavor is finding Eryael Ladrinyth alive.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Harsh, shrill air whipped over her face with a violent sting, bringing tears to her blood-shot eyes. The cold of the mountain made the muscles of her face burn deep into the nerves. With a hopeless sigh, she turned and looked at the darkness that surrounded her, icy crags shrouded in grey fog. It would not be much different than the maze exercises her Order had insisted that she practice. Her watery gaze studied the incline for an extended moment and then the lithe elf shut her eyes. Inside her mind a pattern developed --each twist and turn, each rock and ravine she would be able to surmount and comb through. After calculating erratically the position of where the Black Temple had fallen, she began her ascension up the Dragonspine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Her movement was sluggish as she trudged along in the deep snow, sinking into her knees with each step. The thin silk skirt that was draped over her legs was dampened by the wet fall. Like a thousand slivers digging into her feet, she could feel every crack and point of unleveled ground beneath her. Feebly, she tried to keep her hands warm by sheltering them within her sleeves but it was only a matter of hours before the painful sensations that plagued them were replaced with consuming numbness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It was difficult for her to focus on the white-capped peaks ahead, even where she stood now the wind howled and clawed at her exposed skin. She took a gasping breath of frozen air that made her lungs burn in her chest and cried out, agonized voice echoing among the looming alpines, “Eryael!”&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Warm tears flooded her eyes until they breached the edges, succumbing to the frigid environment. Stumbling under a large conifer the girl huddled against the tree to shield herself from the unrelenting chill. The wind peeled at the layers of her cracked lips, while she parted them to murmur, “I will find you…”.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Autumn 5105&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How long had it been since she was found atop the side of the mountain? When she was found her extremities were a dark blue-purple with frostbite, malnourished and near completely under the influence of Zelia. She was recovering but her delicate elven features were now gaunt and sickly, her lips still healing from the deep chapped cracks. In the past months she spent most of her time laying on a chaise longue next to the window in her room that faced the Dragonspine. Days were spent in eerie silence as she looked at the mountain forlornly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all this time, she finally sent for him in the midst of getting her ringleted hair brushed. She did not dismiss her handmaiden as she spoke but neither turned to look at him either. “Is it true?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He took a step where she reclined and nodded to dismiss the handmaiden. He claimed the brush from her before she left and began to pull through the black cherry-hued strands with a loving gentleness. “The City-State is calling in your loans,” pausing to add for clarity, “all of them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made no sound but stretched out her legs from next to her, extending them to the end of the chaise. “Then we return home, for now,” she responded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hesitation was almost paralyzing as her servant spoke, “there is more. Our sources have stated they have seen a warrant being drafted at the magistrate’s office. They know that the expedition is not a recovery but a rescue. Evidence has mounted and it is only a matter of days before you are formally charged with treason and high-crimes against the Shining City. It seems reasonable that the Sapphire Guard will be at our door within the week.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He couldn’t see her smile but he could hear the musing in her soft voice, “then we had better pack fast.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idle brushing continued as he delivered a grim counter, “we would have been safe from extradition had the state of the accounts not been so vast. The debt is nearly immeasurable. Nalfein will deliver us without hesitation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh,” was the simple reply and it was followed by a length of silence with only the subtle rustle of the horsehair brush through her dark red hair. Then she sat up, pulling away and stated with no urgency, “have Samiel lay out the cardinal dupioni silk gown, the gold and eahnor pendant that goes with it. Then I want you to give whatever we have left to the remaining servants and dismiss them under the cover of night.” Standing up then, she turns towards her servant, “you have been the truest and given more than I ever had the right to ask for. There is a bottle in the cellar that is marked with a faint golden script near the bottom of the middle rack. Inside are the details of a seaside villa that has no ties to me or my family in the Bay of Black Pearls. It is yours with my deepest gratitude.” Another pause was taken so that she could place her hands upon his, clutching them around the brush. “This is my final ask of you and I will hear no retort.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Winter 5107&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hands were bound with steel cuffs, it seemed unnecessary but also rather ironic. At least she could find some humor in the situation, if not a bit of flattery. As she shifted her small wrists in the heavy shackles a booming voice rang out in the small chamber.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uniana Le’Gondren Nalfein, you stand charged with treason against the City-State of Illistim, stimulating war against the Shining City, encouraging sorcery within the city walls, endangering the safety of others and aiding and abetting known war criminals. How do you plead?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Often and believably. Would you like to hear?” Uniana pulled her lips into a side-set grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another voice came from off to the side, as Murstyr Javilerre quipped “Of course she wouldn’t take this seriously.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana shook her head. “I noticed there is no one recording this briefing but I would like to go on record that I appreciate Lord Javilerre’s forceful method of cuffing.” She raised her shackled wrists for emphasis and changed her gaze to focus directly on the aged elf and murmured lasciviously, “now I know where your son acquired his skills.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Murstyr moved towards the small enclosed platform where she stood in a threatening manner before the commanding voice from before ordered, “Enough. The evidence against you is insurmountable. We have every believable argument to sentence you to death.” The voice took a pause while Uniana remained in silence looking into the darkened corners of the chamber unphased. “Though, you have curried favor with the Argent and at the suggestion of the Council of Thrones we offer you some conditions that will see your life spared in return for effective services.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Like what?” Uniana asked with her voice dripping with aloofness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Describe your familiarity with the sorcerer Mekthros Savius Faendryl?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her blood ran like fire and her voice became sharp and biting, “if you expect to me to sit in one of your dungeons playing a part in incriminating anyone but myself you should just kill me here and now. Death over bondage.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A new voice, one distinctly feminine spoke out now, “ah, she’s just as melodramatic as was suggested.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana narrowed her eyes and retorted, “not unlike having a puppet court in a dark chamber with your interrogators in shadow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another voice now, scholarly and low, explained “we are interested in your ability to record potentially illegal sorcerous activity within and without the city walls. There is mounting pressure after the events of the past years to ensure that we are aware of any potential individuals of concern. Your proximity and unfettered access to one of the most powerful and feared Faendryl sorcerers at present places you in a unique position.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“To simply walk up and insert myself?” Uniana thought to herself. She knew that the Illistimi were problematic when it came to subterfuge but even this must seem poorly thought out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There is a prominent sorceress of a well-to-do family who is in need of a lady&#039;s maid and guide to Ta’Illistim. She coincidentally also is looking for an enchantress on retainer. She has agreed to pay a large amount of interest on your debts in order to take you into her service. You are to watch and report on any findings,” the female voice explained, “despite the manner of your recent apprehension it is said you are a master at discretion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Murstyr spoke again, “and there are additional conditions for this arrangement. You are to now and forever cease contact with anyone who ever had an association with the Dark Alliance, including family members. While under this agreement you are prohibited from performing any other,” he paused to emphasize disgust in the next word, “duties. You are simply a lady’s maid and an indentured enchantress. If there is any inclination that you are attempting to contact or signal someone with supposed ties to enemies of the City-State, it will be deathwort for both of you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A plea for death rose up in her throat. What life would that be? And what if a sorcerer conclave discovered what had she been doing? Most assuredly a fate worse than death. Then briefly, she felt it. The subtle pound of an alien heart within her chest, it was momentary but undeniable. She could almost hear the thumping. An echo of the connection that they once shared. Something to cling to. Something to live for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Summer 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fourteen years and nothing reported,” the voice outside her cell was heavy with anger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fourteen years and nothing TO REPORT.” Uniana shouted with annoyance and laid her head back against the stone wall of her cell. “I told your Commander a year ago, kill me. I have no desire to waste away in this cell giving myself over to madness.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It will not be much longer now, Commander Javillerre requested your file this morning. You’ll be in the embrace of Gosaena before sunrise tomorrow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t want to give in to the fear or the taking stock of how she got here and what it all meant. Her regrets, her struggles, her joy, and triumphs were vacant now. She found solace in the fact that maybe that was true for everyone at the end. Her laments were mostly with regards to her cousin. Lysistrata was never overly tender but her words always provided a measure of strength to Uniana when she doubted herself and she desperately wished she could tell her how much her mentorship and guidance had meant. Somehow she still managed to feel embarrassed that she had never discovered the fate of Eryael.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She paused to quiet her mind and still her breath. Only one heartbeat. Her own lonely heart pumping with increasing speed at the threat of her anxiety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A loud clatter made her recoil in fear. The gate to her cell was pulled open. A small box filled with her things was placed on the ground and then kicked inside. Atop her belongings was an elegantly scripted vellum letter sealed by a dark crimson wax imprinted with a storm griffin rending a deer. Her dirty hands pulled it apart with a frustrated curiosity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Lady Uniana Le’Gondren Nalfein,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I await you at the garden shrine. This is not a request.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;- H&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her lips parted into an open-mouth smile as she let out a pant of relief that ended up sounding more like a chuckle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Some things never change.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Fifteen years. It had been fifteen years since she last attended a ball. She had danced with Teveriel then too though she couldn’t quite remember the whole of the details. There wasn’t much to note at the time; it was just another event in a string of balls that she would attend for the social season. The most she recounted was a masquerade in Ta’Illistim and she recalled she had a metallic lace rose mask fashioned especially. They were still enemies at the time, sharing a dance under veiled pretense of civility. A small piece of her had hoped that the ball to honor the fallen would serve as an opportunity to rewrite a history that should have been. But her story was never much intended to be a fairy tale and she knew as much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The events of last night would serve as an opportunity. She had let her guard down, she felt too safe in Ta’Vaalor. Too safe under the eyes of the Legion. A mistake that would be immediately corrected. Today she was awake early, not in the typical way where she was restless and cursing Ronan. This morning, she woke with purpose and found Teveriel still asleep on the divan where Hanshayr had deposited him last night. She fetched a folded blanket from a cabinet, draped it over him and then departed the chalet. He was awake when she returned carrying a large object with a canvas shroud in her hand. Other packages followed behind her, a couple members of the household staff ushering them in. She called for them to be taken to the kitchen and have all that was presently in the pantry and larder tossed out. Though she briefly considered if she could season, preserve and package it and have it delivered to the Obsidian Tower in the West.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she greeted him, setting the object down on the floor next to the divan. She inquired into his current state and gave him a slow, chaste kiss on the forehead, then held her cheek there to check the warmth. Seeming pleased with his progress of recovery she&#039;d call for his breakfast - a large plate of poached eggs covered in sliced beetroot and a herbaceous green sauce served with a chilled glass of pomegranate juice. As he went to reach for a fork she halted him, pulled the cover off the large object and revealed an alert, small sparrowhawk in a gilt-frosted iron cage. She took the silverware and cut a tiny piece from the side of his eggs and placed it in the cage, watching the bird devour it. Taking the spoon she dotted it into the juice and allowed the bird to nip at the dark liquid. Sitting in silence for a moment she watched the bird keenly, before nodding in approval, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll see a clean spoon is brought up.&amp;quot; She offered him a kind smile and went off to tend to more fortifications to ensure the chalet would remain a safe haven in a city where she no longer felt safe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Imaerasta 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was up early, again. Not troubled or restless, she could see the path before her clearly and resolutely. The bower had grown too cold as it seemed the snowfall had continued throughout the night. After tea was delivered and the fire tended she gathered a fur robe about herself and leaned up against the mullioned windows, her violet-haunted gaze focused on the glade below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teveriel had probably been up for hours at this point but you wouldn’t know it by the swing of his arm as he cut through the air with his blunted sword. His aim was true time and time again, slashing into a barkless tree marked with notches to represent the heights of various enemies. There was a new notch this morning, one towering above the others and he seemed to swing relentlessly at it with grim determination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The berserker,” she thought as she adjusted the teacup in her hands to palm the bottom of it while her other steadied the handle, taking a pause to flex her fingers and release some of the stiffness. No doubt this was a result of her attempting to aid Akenna last night with the imbuing of runes. Such tedious work, manipulating the elements. Not like people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flurry of hacking sounds pulled her from her thoughts as Teveriel made a rapid assault against the tree. She knew the idea of Zerroth’s return had brought him dark thoughts and opened old wounds that never really healed. But that wasn’t all the news there was to consider. Her carmine lips pulled into a faint smile before she took another sip of tea. She longed to have this chapter concluded and return east. There was so much to do. Parties to plan, dinners to host as the festive season drew near.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then there was her harp. People had said before that she was something of an artist at it. She&#039;d like to earn that title once more.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Jastatos 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Who would she reunite with if given the chance?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother? No. She doesn’t need to see all the ways she’s failed. Let her rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eryael? Well, he doesn’t really seem to be dead now. Makes that answer a bit easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what about...oh yes, &#039;&#039;him&#039;&#039;. And then she thought about his funeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a typical day and she was bringing up a tray to her Mistress. The paper had been folded neatly, placed off to the side as she had done morning after morning but today when she reached the top of the stairs it slipped down and became a clump on the floor. Bending down to pick it up, she tried to crease it neatly the way it had been folded before when she took note of a headline along the corner: “SUPPOSED DEMONOLOGIST FROM NALFEIN SUCCUMBS TO FAILED SUMMONING”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She left the tray unattended on a nearby console table as she reviewed the details of the article. The facts were murky enough but his name was there and that he would be sent back home for a private funeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;They executed him.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had heard rumors that his name had come up numerous times in the treason and sedition trials following the war. She had seen him manipulate the forces beyond a hundred times and his power over them was confident, even aloof. He would have never lost control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;They wouldn’t suffer a sorcerer.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His family probably paid good money to keep the real cause from public record and this helped shape the continued narrative of the Shining City, that demons were dangerous and unyielding, even to pure elves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reclaiming her composure, she delivered her mistress her breakfast, paper neatly folded on the side and then requested a brief leave to visit her ailing great aunt in Ta’Nalfein. During the whole of her trip she was shadowed by a lithe figure in a dark cobalt silk cloak. The Sapphire Guard wasn’t being subtle, they didn’t need to be, but then again whoever was assigned to this task probably wasn’t exactly operating as one of their best.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day of the funeral she made her way down into the kitchen of her aunt’s townhouse. She did have an aunt in Ta’Nalfein, though she was more alcoholic than ailing. And she wasn’t even staying here at the townhouse. Nothing made Uniana come to terms with her fallen status in society as much as the fact that her own great aunt would not receive her at the family estate but rather kept her at one of her minor properties, like she was some lukewarm acquaintance or passing merchant. Uniana vowed that if she lived through this ordeal she would ensure her status among her family and society would be elevated once more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;If.&#039;&#039; He certainly didn’t make it out alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She grabbed one of the aprons and a plain leather-backed chainsil cloak from off one of the hooks near the backdoor and quietly made her way down the var, head lowered in discretion and possibly shame. The sidegate that led to his family’s garden was left open so that visitors could pay their respects but when she came upon the gathering there were only two males, about his age, dressed in plainish mourning clothes, a half-elf who was in brigandine and his mother. She had met his mother once. Uniana found her kind and smart, real smart. Not some kind of Nalfein feigned intelligence where you read a bit about this or that so you can manage conversations at parties but rather brilliant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked so frail now, pouring loam and ash over a newly dug mound. Next to the smallish mound was a stone of ebony marble and Uniana could determine that it might have been rimmed in black ora but she didn’t dare get closer to the gathering. She remained near the gate out of both respect and fear. This was her fault. He was her mark. She had brought him to the Dark Alliance. She made his mother childless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t all a game to her though. Uniana was actually quite fond of him. He took things easily and he was powerful, a bit of a scoundrel but ever clinging to his elven superiority. There may have even been love between them if they could ever stop using each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The small group began to walk back towards the main house, the mother stopped to consider Uniana at a distance but turned away.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
She doesn’t recognize me.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why would she? Uniana was concealed in outerwear suited only for the scullery and the dress underneath was an ill-fitted hand-me-down from her mistress who never used proper Elven tailors. Uniana took the opportunity to draw near the loose soil and she could see now that the small plaque had his name and had a tiny fragment of his runestaff contained within. From within the pocket of her loose dress she removed a single cutout snowflake crafted from dull metallic parchment. The necklace he had given her was long since sold for whatever meager silver it would have fetched but she still felt sentimental about it. And the ball where she wore it and after, the first time they kissed, even if it was all pretense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was by no means innocent but did he deserve this? Did he hate her for it all? Was any of it worth it? She didn’t deserve those questions answered though. If she could bring him back for one night, for the Eve of the Reunion, it wouldn’t be to calculate the cost of her deeds. She’d simply ask if he had a message for his mother.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Eve of the Reunion 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As they raced down the pier Teveriel called for the crew to begin cutting the lines. The entire dock rolled under the swell of water that came in fast, continuous waves. The onslaught of rain in the whipping wind and the blinding flashes made it nearly impossible to see and Uniana was certain if she hadn&#039;t made the journey across the gangplank numerous times before she would have lost her footing. She kept a close grip on Yukito as Teveriel ushered both of them from a sentinel position in the rear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as they were aboard the ship lurched away from the dock, the sails flapping in the wind. Teveriel ordered the capstan up and Uniana saw Yukito positioned safely below deck. When she got to the helm she questioned their departure but Teveriel assessed rightly that they had no time to spare. To punctuate his statement a crashing wave came over the railing and forced the ship against the dock briefly. Uniana pulled the wheel away and managed to give Teveriel a fearful glance but he confidently assured her, &amp;quot;she will hold.&amp;quot; He captained the crew to adjust the sails to catch the frightful wind and they instantly pulled away from the structure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Goliath waves crashed into the island as they sailed north and away from the doomed land. The peril was far from over as they struggled to navigate the storm. At one point Uniana realized they had been going west again for the better part of half hour but was able to chart them back to the northeast. A few hours into their journey the storm gave way to a gentle, though constant, rain. Uniana took the opportunity to tie the wheel off and give her hands a rest. She went below deck and had tea brewed for herself, the captain and their guests. Before she went back to attend her duties she offered Yukito a blanket and encouraged him to find some real rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dawn broke on the horizon but it only lit the clouds from behind, doing nothing to cease the rains. Before midday they reached their port and Calepher was as good as his word. Upon pulling into the bustling port of Ta&#039;Loenthra, a skiff bearing a silver-harp on a purple sail came out to meet them. They were not permitted to dock but they were granted permission to anchor, supply and take rest for the evening. When morning came it did not go unnoticed that somehow Teveriel had smuggled aboard some artisan pastries and fresh coffee. Then while the crew prepared the ship for the exhausting voyage back to the West the trio of them leaned against the railing of the Blue Fortress, sipping their coffee and watching the sun come up in a clear sky for the first time in what seemed to be the better part of a month.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Eoantos 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had met with “H” all of three times before this encounter and each time he had used his intimidating presence to establish the nature of their relationship. He was in absolute control, he knew her movements, he knew things she assumed she had whispered in empty rooms and the way he regarded the things she said with a questioning, imperious glare made her feel as though he could sense her innermost thoughts. It made her wonder if he hadn’t a student or two of Harith in his service as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even still, there was something to be said for the way he deferred to her insight or recommendations about how to rally or connect with the pockets of elves who privately acknowledged Mularos as their patron. He knew that she was a lynchpin to Eryael and if Eryael accomplished nothing else he fostered a new era of Mularosian worship in the City-States. Politicians, nobility, commanders --though without leadership these silent proselytes were floundering. They were in need of a sycophant and “H” was just the type to take up the mantle or at least instill a puppet figurehead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s where the necessity of Eryael’s fate came in. Too many of them were even still under somewhat of his spell, much like Uniana. They required closure before they could possibly consider accepting a new head of their sects. No one would have been more knowledgeable or better equipped to discover the truth of his fate besides one of his soulbonds, Uniana. Uniana, who had spent years searching amongst the rubble of the Black Temple. Uniana, who had learned cartography to better understand the layout of the Dragonspine. Uniana, who studied under Lord Veythorne to learn more of wind currents and possible trajectories of debris on that day. Uniana, who still bore his mark with as much pride as one would display a wedding ring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The terms you had placed on my contract are complete,” she offered in the dark office that smelled of bourbon, velvetier and freshly-inked parchment. There was no lingering hint of roses in this room and she wondered if that would begin to dissipate from the other rooms of the estate as well. She reiterated to him the details she had collected and her own interpretation for him, “he is not dead but he is not on this plane. If you wish to commune with him I would recommend finding the best painters, vocalists and musicians and watching them. He will look for beauty and creativity as an anchor, only ones that are born of suffering and anguish. Though they have to be the very best, they would have to make Eorgina inclined to steal them away to build a second Li&#039;aerion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” made no immediate reaction but drummed his fingers along a vellum that rested atop his desk. “Eager to have your new paramour buy you out from the Order hrm? And what of Eryael, will you try to lure him back? You’re artistically inclined or at least the documents suggest.” He paused his hand and regarded her with a cruel smile, “I’ve never had the pleasure.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She opted not to address his second question and instead correct him on the details of his first, “the Order of the Lily does not deal in slavery or indentured servitude, I am free to resign at will. However, Lord Anduin is offering them a fair amount to ensure that we part amicably. Though my worth to them is obviously diminished along with my credibility.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” offered her a dark smile. “Yes, a bit of a novelty now, aren’t you? No longer a main attraction. Still my contacts at the bank suggest that Lord Anduin is pulling together a prince’s ransom. At least someone still thinks you are worth that kind of trouble. Are you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana didn’t respond, keeping her expressionless gaze on him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” stood from behind his desk in a precise, clipped motion. He announced, “well then, there is one more bit of business to conclude. You will join me in the garden,” he gestured behind her towards the door and added with a barely suppressed maliciousness, “I trust you remember the way, if not, permit me to &#039;&#039;&#039;show&#039;&#039;&#039; you.”&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;A letter crafted in the middle of the night on Phoenatos 28th, 5121.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The folded parchment bears no other detail on it except the word “Diamond” in a neat, black ink across the front&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I apologize for not writing again since the sentence was commuted. It is difficult to ensure that these will get to you without the risk of any obtrusion. I have found myself in the West for the time being. Making contact with old connections for old purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You were always my council, my heart and head are never to be trusted. I worry that my time away has made me soft and weak. The long years are giving me a desire to resign myself from all this wretched business. Is that pathetic? If I do press forward am I being stubborn? A part of me feels like I have already invested so much, I have to see an end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear, I find myself questioning if I am foolish. What kind of madness am I infected with that I would continue to give myself to this thankless cause? Isn’t everything I lost enough of a reason to abandon my foolish need for closure? For resolution? There is another aspect of all this too, one I dare not even put down on the page lest the documentation of it makes it more real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would give anything to be in your radiant presence again but for now your words will more than suffice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your Loving Cousin,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ruby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;A letter crafted in the morning on Eoantos 23rd, 5121.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Uniana held her quill above the parchment and considered for a moment that she should write the following in their coded hand. Upon further reflection, the nature of the letter spoke to honesty and the absence of clandestine operations in her life, so she wrote freely in Elven.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beloved Cousin,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope this finds you ever radiant and in proud spirits. Vyctus seems to be thriving with his naval endeavors and I hear that Lear is once more the talk of the Ardenai court with his charm and steady aim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By now you have learned that I have left the Order of the Lily, my last contract fulfilled and myself now retired. My credibility amongst certain circles tarnished after my exposed allegiance during the war, my movements would never hold the power they once did. At least not as a courtesan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that brings to the point of this letter. These last few months I have been keeping the company of Lord Teveriel Anduin, who you know to be of good character and renowned as a hero among his house. He has inherited the title and estates of his father after his passing during the war. Some fifteen years ago we were so much in each other’s orbit but now the pull is undeniable. As the matriarch of our house, I seek your blessing if there is the opportunity for a formal alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The fine scripting on the vellum becomes a bit less neat.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know I have not always brought honor to our family and so your council in this matter will be heeded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Love,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;She took great care once more as she addressed the front with “Lady Lysistrata Scio”&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

The fires in the grand hall were roaring but only the loudest pops and crackles were heard over the litany of conversations and the upbeat, rhythmic playing of the orchestra. Everywhere she looked were glittering metallic ornaments and ladies garbed in rich jewel toned velvet. Her own gown felt unnecessarily warm between the barrage of the fires and the density of the crowded room. It made her feel flush or perhaps that was the passing smile of a familiar face across the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evergreen and gingerbread hung heavy in the air and she could almost taste the cinnamon and nutmeg of the mulled wine. Almost. Because none of this was real. Just another meditative daydream in an effort to escape the grim reality of her cold, dark cell somewhere in the labyrinthian building of the Ta&#039;Illistim Keep. The pleasant noise of her dream was replaced by the constant patter of dripping water from the ceiling. A soft sob could be heard from down the hall within another cell. Uniana rolled on her cot and shut her eyes, trying not curse Ronan for the thousandth time. She hoped briefly that execution would come quickly, she couldn&#039;t take another winter in solitude. &#039;&#039;She wouldn&#039;t.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

It was the sixth evening of their honeymoon in Ta’Nalfein and everything in her soul called to Uniana to remain in their shared bed. Yet, who knew when they would return to Ta&#039;Nalfein again. At least some business would require her attention before more pleasure. She had made time to dive deeper into the organization known as the Sparrows of the Night Queen, she and her new husband had visited some family and prominent shops and that left one final distraction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had barely put her feet on the floor when her husband asked with a hint of disappointment, &amp;quot;you still mean to go then?&amp;quot; Her dark curls shifted subtly around her face as she nodded wordlessly which prompted him to rise as well. They dressed in cloaks with encompassing hoods and made their way to the distant side of the city to a small domed basilica trimmed in ivory marble. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curved doors were open allowing for the quiet interior to be cooled by the sea air. Uniana stepped in first followed by Teveriel who narrowed his eyes as he studied the dim sanctuary. Uniana had no sooner pushed back her hood when a robed figure approached, arms outstretched. &amp;quot;I was hoping you would pay us a visit,&amp;quot; the older elf&#039;s voice was warm and his demeanor full of familiarity. Uniana embraced him and he put an arm around her, nodding over to Teveriel. &amp;quot;You are very welcome here, Lord of Vaalor.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The older elf and Uniana began to walk down the aisle that led to the altar. Teveriel shifted a moment and considered following them but opted to sit and allow the two a private reunion. Teveriel watched them as they whispered back and forth with smiles, his own lips set firm with displeasure as they drew closer to an ivory statue of an elf with rose vines binding his wrists, the thorns piercing into the stone with such detail that it appeared as pliable flesh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The duo bowed their heads before the statue and continued in muted conversation. The priest disappeared and returned, taking Uniana by the arm as he escorted her back to Teveriel who could now hear some of their conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We didn&#039;t win,&amp;quot; the priest said emotionlessly, &amp;quot;and yet we did not lose. You are a good ambassador, you could have been a good scion but that was not your path,&amp;quot; and the priest looked out into the pews to Teveriel who sat in a terse silence. &amp;quot;You are in a cycle of pleasure and beauty, doesn&#039;t the pain and loss you felt make it all the sweeter?&amp;quot; He did not let Uniana answer, &amp;quot;I have something for you. You earned it. You can walk in the light but the shadow of Lornon will always welcome you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He opened a small box of night-dark glass rimmed in pearls that were just as black. Even as he opened it the jeweled item inside sparkled in the sparse light. His aged hands held it reverently and he lifted it to crown her. As it blended into Uniana&#039;s dark cherry curls the blazestar halo began to fade away and her form was bathed in a muted crimson essence. Teveriel took in a deep, steading breath. &lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;GREATFALLS: Updated Draekreyn and added information about Hiemaltide&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A repository for various Ardenai player headcanons or observations about the culture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Government==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ruler of House Ardenai, currently King Eamon Ardenai as of 5122, is also referred to by tradition as &amp;quot;The Briar Crown,&amp;quot; ruling over &amp;quot;The Evergreen Court&amp;quot; which moves each season, hosted by different powerful families who vie for the honor through exhibitions of grandeur.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The nobility of Ta&#039;Ardenai is composed of several families whose lineages can purportedly be traced to the time of Sharyth Ardenai. Among these are the ruling families of the Northern villages, traditionally loyal bannermen due to ancient oaths sworn to Sharyth Ardenai by their ancestors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* In modern times a steadily increasing number of merchants, bankers, and other individuals prominent in the field of commerce have been elevated to noble status. This has earned the ire of many of the traditional nobility, especially those of the North. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Customs and Traditions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The villages dotting the harsh hinterlands of the Darkling Wood all the way to the northern shores are populated by elves who adhere to what they call the &amp;quot;Old Ways.&amp;quot; They generally swear allegiance to House Ardenai but are a wild, almost savage people possessed of a close spiritual connection with the primal energies of their homeland.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Coinciding with the Eve of the Reunion, the northern Ardenai celebrate a holiday they call Draekreyn or &amp;quot;Dark Rain&amp;quot;. It marks the end of harvest and any animals not expected to survive through the winter are butchered and made into sausage or dried for the winter stores. It is also a time of revelry, celebrated with old tales honoring those who have lived and died before. The mead flows freely, and what mead is not drunk by the rowdy elves is saved to mix with beer for the winter braggot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Similarly, there exists a Midsummer Festival. This is also marked by heavily consumption of mead, which seems to be a common theme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Winter Solstice is marked by a multi-day event called [[Hiemaltide]] which celebrates the cycle of life and the return of light after the long polar night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The family unit seems to take a distinct interest in Ardenai marriages. Not unlike the Vaalor in their involvement. This is perhaps due to the dichotomy of old and new present in Ta&#039;Ardenai.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Among many of the northern villages, it is customary for both the bride and the groom to build a home. Both the bride and the groom have agency over their destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Another tradition among the Ardenai seems to be a pilgrimage undertaken during the autumn to visit a certain tree reported to be one of the oldest, if not the oldest, in the Darkling Wood. Visitors tend to its roots, helping to protect it for the coming winter, and often take leaves as souvenirs to preserve them in glass or vaalin and put them up in their homes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Weaving is a skill for which the Ardenai are renowned, especially tapestries. For the Northern Ardenai, everything has a practical purpose unless you are wealthy. Tapestries are beyond a document of lore or a work of art, they also provide warmth and insulation. Often during the winter months tapestries are draped along low ceiling beams to help keep the heat from rising up into the conical and vaulted ceilings of the homes. Prior to the warmer weather months, the tapestries are raised up to flush against the ceiling and often this is a signal of the arrival of summer and a celebration all its own. Heads of clans have metallic threading used frequently on their tapestries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* There are many bards, battle chanters and lyricists in the north but another kind of storyteller are the Weftmasters. They pull skeins of magic from nothing or use physical threads as conduits to keep the lore and history of their people. Once a piece of artwork has been finished a Weftmaster can channel the emotional and mental energy from that moment and harness it to cause great fear in an enemy or rally a kinsman in battle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some among the Ardenai rely on stylized botanical or scientific plant and animal names to denote lineage upon a grand family tree.  Their surnames may employ  phylum, class, clade, order, family, subfamily, tribe, genus, species, variety, and cultivar; some also utilize this method for given names.  Whether families are named after the organism or it named for them, is a matter of debate the further back in time one delves upon their grand tree.  Analysis of these trees or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomy_(biology) taxonomies] may lead to surprising discoveries about one&#039;s lineage.&lt;br /&gt;
: For example:&lt;br /&gt;
::* Albana, Miyabe, Insi, Cathayan, Celtia, Rubran, and Trilo [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morus_(plant) Morus] Ardenai come from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moraceae Moracea] family who are descended from the Rosales, Rosidan and Eudicorts before them.  Their distant cousins could include branches such as Ficusa (fig and banyan), Artocarus (jackfruit), and Maclura (hedge apple).&lt;br /&gt;
::* Pyrena, Alba, Vera, and Sarah are progeny of Angust [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavandula Lavandula] Ardenai, and they are descended from the Ocime, Nepetos, Lamiace, Lamiale, Asterid, and Eudicort lines.  Their grandfather was nicknamed Offinius and he had siblings and cousins including Stoech, Fabricia, Styphonia, Chaetost, Sabaud, Plectran, and Isinia.&lt;br /&gt;
::* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideritis_cypria Cypria Sidertis] Ardenai&#039;s cousin is Orvala Lamium; they may trace their lineage to Verbenace Lamoia who is many generations removed from Asterid Ardenai and the eponymous Eudicort Ardenai even further back.&lt;br /&gt;
::* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloranthaceae Chlorana] Ardenai&#039;s descendants are few, but can be traced through her daughter Chlorantha, a grandson Sarcan, and perhaps a great-great granddaughter who styled herself formally as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcandra_glabra Glabriella] Sarcandra Chloranthace Ardenai. Glabriella&#039;s siblings or cousins might be named Haina, Brachys, Montanus, and last but not least: Ceylanicus, who is not to be confused with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandanus_ceylanicus Ceylanicus Pandanus] of the Monocot, the latter of which is named for one Monoryth Ardenai.&lt;br /&gt;
::* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_warbler-finch Olivia Certhide] can trace her lineage through the Thraup family to the Passerins, Eupasere, and Avesa beyond.  Of the Passerin, there were three siblings: Tyrann, Passery and Acanthis.  Olivia belongs to the Passery line.   In her research, she discovered that a distant aunt named [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphonia Euphonia] was not actually a Thraup, but instead a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finch Fringilla], though the revelation still suggests Passerin origins.  Acanthis&#039;s descendants include a woman known as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyall%27s_wren Lyalla], who bore no children.&lt;br /&gt;
::* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mule_deer Cerro Hemion] has a few siblings, including Auritus and Pusilleucera. They hail from the Odocoilein and distantly, Artios.  Research suggests Cerro and his best friend [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brocket_deer Brock] Mazama may be distantly related.&lt;br /&gt;
::* The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardennais Ardennais] horse breed, lost in the [[Horse War]], may (or may not) have been named for the Ardenai house itself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Spiritual Beliefs==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* While House Ardenai&#039;s official Patrons are [https://gswiki.play.net/Elven_Dogma_and_Theology well known] by most, the Northerners who adhere to the Old Ways have a more primal outlook. The fiery sun that lights the sky and grants reprieve from the harsh winter come spring; the wind that bears their ships when trading season begins; the forest that teems with life and provides nigh-limitless bounty to those who treat it with respect; the ice and snow which are a danger to be respected in winter but whose melting eventually helps to nurture new life. The strength of the bear, the cunning of the leopard, the rut of the elk--all of these, instead of any humanoid representation of a deity, are celebrated and sought to be exemplified by the hardy people of the North. There is a very real, primal energy that is felt by all and channeled by those who practice magic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sorcerers are viewed with grim respect by most living in the North for their ability to meld the primal elements and the spiritual realm. They see nothing unnatural about the concept of rot or decay, seeing it as but one part of the life and death cycle to which all are beholden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* When a loved one dies, one tradition common to the Ardenai is they take some of that loved one&#039;s clothing to turn into a mourning sash that they wear about the neck. They tether charms or keepsakes symbolic of that person and wear it for the duration of their mourning, which varies depending upon the nature of their relationship.&lt;br /&gt;

We took the Road of Marble through the upper acreage of Loenthra and the majority of the trip was pleasant despite the pervasive cold that attempted to seep into the carriage. Though we started quite early in the morning it became obvious we would not make it to the southern capital of Ardenai before nightfall as the outside of the carriage grew darker. The wheels slowed tenuously on the snow-covered road, I pulled back the curtains of the windows to the carriage and saw waiting for us was a pair of walled sleighs lit by glass-paned lanterns, their vivid orange light briefly amplified by the falling snow against the vast darkness of the forest and cloud-covered sky. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The hours flew by,” I remarked to my husband as the door to the carriage was opened from the outside, “how quickly it became night.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teveriel smiled and offered me his hand as he guided me down the steps of the carriage. “We are further north, my love,” he gently reminded, “the hour is not so late but we will not see another sunrise until we return south.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After our party transferred from carriage and horseback respectively to the caribou-pulled sleighs the road was lit solely by the caravan. At some point the reflective properties of the snow seem to become lost against the dense thickets that encroached against the roadway. My party informed me that the hour was near nine when a distant golden glow crested the horizon. As we drew closer, the dark briars that surrounded the roadway gave way to giant plains blanketed in snow. On the distant side the horizon was shaped by monstrous trees, the outline of their forms lit by golden lanterns hung by chains within the branches. As tall as a single story building, the lanterns carried on in either direction as far as could be seen. Over the road was a natural arch of intertwined branches rising like a portcullis, veins of magic incandescent pulsating throughout narrow carvings along the limbs.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had been through the gate of the Darkling Wood before but in the pitch of this long night it seemed otherworldly in its magnificence. On the other side of the gate, the forest on either side became hauntingly plenteous once more. The road however was enchanting, lit on either side under the carpet of snow by a bioluminescent verdant glow, amplified in radiance by the icy covering. As we got closer to the capitol, the scent of woodburning invaded our senses and would remain with us for the duration of our stay. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Hiemaltide==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Draekreyn (or &amp;quot;dark rain&amp;quot;) happens alongside the Eve of the Reunion, a time when some northern Ardenai houses prepare for the darkness of winter. It is also a time when the animals who will not survive through the cold are slaughtered. The Ardenai use every part of the animal and so the slaughtered are hung from trees to exsanguinate the animals, hence causing the blood to fall like a &amp;quot;dark rain.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that point the days get significantly shorter and it becomes a very dangerous time for Ardenai who live in the far north. This time of year is heavily inundated with superstition especially about trekking out alone. The Ardenai are in fact a quite social house which perhaps leads to the perception that they are more approachable to outsiders. But make no mistake, this kind of aloof, friendly attitude is born out of necessity to those who do not live in the comforts of the larger, more modern cities and are encouraged never to trek in the dark of Hiemaltide alone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this time of prolonged dark there is a great deal of forest management that happens. Despite being near pitch black for most of the day the Ardenai have created ways to force visibility in large areas of land. Giant imflass discs are arranged around the plot of forest, the reflective surface amplifying the light. When cold enough the ice crystals in the air catch the light and help create beacons that serve as guide points. The snow-riddled ground creates some difficulties but some advantages as well, fires are much easier to maintain and control. Being an Ash Tender is the premier responsibility of the Darkling Wood Wardens in the winter months. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The majority of fires burn leading up to and on Hiemaltide, a festival that celebrates winter solstice and the promise of the return of sunlight. Wreaths that were hung in the months before are removed from their perches and set ablaze, tossed down hillsides for sport, drunken amusement but also to symbolize the cycle of time, life and death and that all will eventually turn to ash.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Huge bonfires the size of towers are set ablaze, calling to the Sun in an effort to speak to its pride by being outshone. (Note: Some recognize that this entity is Phoen while others in Ardenai see the Sun as more of a primal force that cannot be contained or fully controlled by an Arkati.) Another manifestation indicative that the &amp;quot;force&amp;quot; called to during this time is Phoen, is the overt displays of virility that take place during Hiemaltide which can take the form of physical games and battles of strength (ice breaking, log hurling or even displays of combat) or the frequency of public coupling. Many Ardenai share birthdays in Imaerstan but those who are truly blessed are those who were conceived under &amp;quot;Skyfyre&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Skyfyre is when ripples of multicolored light burn across the black vastness overhead. It is a relatively frequent occurrence but to have it specifically happen during Hiemaltide is considered an omen of a prosperous year. Another superstition during this time is that of Bamaas, the ice troll witch. Bamaas looks for children who stray too far from the light of the bonfires to take them back to her lair and make soup from, though any child will do it is said she has a particular taste for lazy children whose softness makes them sweet as honey.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the fest is rife with all manner of food and beverage, the most unique is the selection of mead and specialty cakes made with honey infused with thuja. The psychotropic effects are said to encourage a fresh state of consciousness that allows one to better experience the world as it goes through this annual change.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Shadowplay Gown&#039;&#039;&#039; is a line of fashionwear sold at the shop [[EHShop:Shadowplay|Shadowplay]]. These gowns have verb traps which vary based on whether the gown is in its light or dark state, which can be changed by casting or evoking [[Light]] at it. &lt;br /&gt;
{{TOC limit|2}}&lt;br /&gt;
==Analyze==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre{{log2}}&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You analyze your sienna silk gown and sense that the creator has provided the following information:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A toasted sienna silk gown flowered with devore arum lilies is a Shadowplay Gown.  It is currently unlocked to Tier 1 of 4.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Tier 1, the gown will trap LEAN and LOWER.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Tier 2, the gown gains the ability to shift from light to dark when certain spells are cast at it.  It will also trap CURTSY and TILT.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Tier 3, it will trap RUB and SPIN.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When fully unlocked to Tier 3, it will trap FOLD and PULL.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the sienna silk gown for you or deepen its pockets.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[[Image:UnianaoftheNalfein.jpg|thumb|Uniana and her expansive thistle tattoo, illustrated by brighnasa.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:TeverielUniana.png|thumb|Uniana and Teveriel on their way to the Festival of the Fallen ball, illustrated by Ashley Lange.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Lady Uniana Anduin Nalfein&#039;&#039;&#039; is a prominent socialite and currently maintains partial citizenship in [[Ta&#039;Vaalor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana was the only child of Lady Vlienive and Lord Chengric Le’Gondren [[Nalfein]]. Her father a minor noble and aspiring vintner, her mother of an ancient noble house and a former courtesan. She is the cousin of [[Lysistrata]], [[Lear]] and [[Vyctus]] Scio on her mother&#039;s side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she had come of age she was inducted to the Order of the Lily, a revered training house for the courtesan arts, though it was alleged to create operatives in all matters of the clandestine. When it was discovered that she had a latent aptitude for manipulating air currents she briefly was put into their elemancer program but her ability to pull and weave the flows of essence was sloppy and she seemed uninterested in attempting to apply herself to their rigorous research requirements. Even still, more recently she became something of a student of Lord [[Veythorne]], prior to his reclusion, learning more about the theology of air as well as the physical properties of the element. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After graduating from the Order of the Lily, she spent several years entertaining and offering companionship to the upper echelons of the City-States&#039; society. Hearsay suggests that sometime around 5102 her frequent trips to the West were due to her supposed involvement with the [[Dark Alliance]] and that she was perhaps intimately connected to the Painlord [[Eryael]]. It is rumored that at some point around 5107 Ta&#039;Illistim put her on trial for her supposed crimes towards the City-State during the second [[Griffin Sword Saga|Griffin Sword War]]. This could explain her complete disappearance from society and the gossip that she was serving as a lady&#039;s maid. At the end of summer 5121 she reappeared into society on retainer under the mysterious &amp;quot;H&amp;quot;. This would be her last assignation and she retired from her Order before the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She married Lord [[Teveriel (prime)|Teveriel]] Anduin Vaalor on Ivastaen the Twenty-First of 5122 and using her passion of cartography and understanding of air currents serves as the Chief Navigator for his fleet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Lady Uniana Le&#039;Gondren Nalfein the Socialite. &lt;br /&gt;
:She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is shorter than average.  She appears to have come of age.  She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin.  She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair twisted into loose ringlets.  She has an unlined face and subtly arched eyebrows.  Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.&lt;br /&gt;
:She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is holding an alum-slated viridian silk fan in her right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing a fanning necklet of cabochon emeralds and minute black pearls, a shoulder-gathered emerald satin chiton with a dramatic plunging neckline, an upward terminating faenor cincher of wrought thorn vines, a domed rich viridian faenor signet ring, and some soft ebon suede ankle-tied sandals beaded with oblong nephrites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;an alum-slated viridian silk fan&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Intricately etched to mimic the curve, length, and texture of a rose vine, three of the fan&#039;s alum slats are imbedded with tiny malachite chips, while the remaining three are carved into a twisted thorn shape.  Viridian marbrinus silk stretches between beautifully wrought slats and is painted with a blooming ebon rose, whose petals are appliqued with crushed velvet.  A pair of malachite cabochons is set within the alum handle, which is fitted with an ebon-veined viridian silk wrist strap.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;a domed rich viridian faenor signet ring&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;The signet is made of faenor in the design of an elven-style crest, divided in the imperial style. The background is composed of green jade with a single blood red spiral curling from the top to encompass a black rose. Set below the rose is a thistle of deep amethyst accented with hues of blood red, resting atop a black dagger. Flanked to the right side is a stalk of golden foxglove resting on an ebon wine goblet and to the left is a pure white lily with a blood red center.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wedding Attire===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Lady Uniana Anduin Nalfein.&lt;br /&gt;
:She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is shorter than average and has a nipped waist silhouette.  She appears to have come of age.  She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin.  She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair falling about her body in fragile tufts with some speckled pale apple blossoms amid the large, soft curls.  She has an unlined face and subtly arched eyebrows.  Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.  She has some helical nacreous vaalin chains adorned with some gold-dipped feathers dangling from her ears.&lt;br /&gt;
:She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is holding a feathery silk-tied bouquet of vibrant greenery and pale blossoms in her left hand.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing a hair-thin chain of electrum and nacre resting against the sternum, a long vert train of tonal silk forming dark-hearted roses and gilt-traced dragonstalks over a tiered-hem hunter green chiffon gown hung from two wispy diaphanous panels, a floriated petite lasimor band gracing the left ring finger, a voluminous jade silk dupioni underskirt warmed by honey sheens, and a pair of thick cork-heeled sandals secured by a cagelike array of gold samite straps.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Sometime in 5105&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was in his nature to approach with humility but his demeanor now might even border on timid perhaps even fearful. After a lifetime of service and the multitude of times entering somewhere unheard, there was so much effort extended now into being respectful and quiet, almost silent. The study was darker than it should have been, a symptom of the prompt dismissal of any who dare to enter. The concentration of light was focused on a heavy wood desk. The silhouette of a fragile female elf leaned against the edge of the tabletop focused on what lay beneath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without looking up from the map that she so intently studied, her voice questioned with a tiredness she either couldn&#039;t manage to hide or no longer cared to, &amp;quot;what?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recent intruder offered in a gentle tone, &amp;quot;can I get you something? When was the last time you accepted a meal?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though her fist tightened her tone did not change as she repeated, &amp;quot;what is it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no getting around what had to be said and it felt like even a sigh of exasperation would be a wasted breath. He mustered all of the courage and strength that he had gained from being in the employ of such an infamous creature and explained, &amp;quot;The bank will loan no more on your credit and your accounts are exhausted. Perhaps it is time to consider calling off the expedition.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, the female elf lifted her face and settled her heavy purple-toned gaze upon her servant. Her demeanor was neither cold nor angry, she spoke evenly almost as a matter of fact, &amp;quot;then levy the estates, the vineyard, the lake house, sell the galleon. Clean out every closet, every jewelry box, anything of value that is remotely in my possession.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As her servant opened his mouth in what was sure to be a cautious protest she cut him off and made her intent clear once again. &amp;quot;The only conclusion to this endeavor is finding Eryael Ladrinyth alive.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Harsh, shrill air whipped over her face with a violent sting, bringing tears to her blood-shot eyes. The cold of the mountain made the muscles of her face burn deep into the nerves. With a hopeless sigh, she turned and looked at the darkness that surrounded her, icy crags shrouded in grey fog. It would not be much different than the maze exercises her Order had insisted that she practice. Her watery gaze studied the incline for an extended moment and then the lithe elf shut her eyes. Inside her mind a pattern developed --each twist and turn, each rock and ravine she would be able to surmount and comb through. After calculating erratically the position of where the Black Temple had fallen, she began her ascension up the Dragonspine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Her movement was sluggish as she trudged along in the deep snow, sinking into her knees with each step. The thin silk skirt that was draped over her legs was dampened by the wet fall. Like a thousand slivers digging into her feet, she could feel every crack and point of unleveled ground beneath her. Feebly, she tried to keep her hands warm by sheltering them within her sleeves but it was only a matter of hours before the painful sensations that plagued them were replaced with consuming numbness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It was difficult for her to focus on the white-capped peaks ahead, even where she stood now the wind howled and clawed at her exposed skin. She took a gasping breath of frozen air that made her lungs burn in her chest and cried out, agonized voice echoing among the looming alpines, “Eryael!”&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Warm tears flooded her eyes until they breached the edges, succumbing to the frigid environment. Stumbling under a large conifer the girl huddled against the tree to shield herself from the unrelenting chill. The wind peeled at the layers of her cracked lips, while she parted them to murmur, “I will find you…”.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Autumn 5105&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How long had it been since she was found atop the side of the mountain? When she was found her extremities were a dark blue-purple with frostbite, malnourished and near completely under the influence of Zelia. She was recovering but her delicate elven features were now gaunt and sickly, her lips still healing from the deep chapped cracks. In the past months she spent most of her time laying on a chaise longue next to the window in her room that faced the Dragonspine. Days were spent in eerie silence as she looked at the mountain forlornly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all this time, she finally sent for him in the midst of getting her ringleted hair brushed. She did not dismiss her handmaiden as she spoke but neither turned to look at him either. “Is it true?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He took a step where she reclined and nodded to dismiss the handmaiden. He claimed the brush from her before she left and began to pull through the black cherry-hued strands with a loving gentleness. “The City-State is calling in your loans,” pausing to add for clarity, “all of them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made no sound but stretched out her legs from next to her, extending them to the end of the chaise. “Then we return home, for now,” she responded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hesitation was almost paralyzing as her servant spoke, “there is more. Our sources have stated they have seen a warrant being drafted at the magistrate’s office. They know that the expedition is not a recovery but a rescue. Evidence has mounted and it is only a matter of days before you are formally charged with treason and high-crimes against the Shining City. It seems reasonable that the Sapphire Guard will be at our door within the week.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He couldn’t see her smile but he could hear the musing in her soft voice, “then we had better pack fast.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idle brushing continued as he delivered a grim counter, “we would have been safe from extradition had the state of the accounts not been so vast. The debt is nearly immeasurable. Nalfein will deliver us without hesitation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh,” was the simple reply and it was followed by a length of silence with only the subtle rustle of the horsehair brush through her dark red hair. Then she sat up, pulling away and stated with no urgency, “have Samiel lay out the cardinal dupioni silk gown, the gold and eahnor pendant that goes with it. Then I want you to give whatever we have left to the remaining servants and dismiss them under the cover of night.” Standing up then, she turns towards her servant, “you have been the truest and given more than I ever had the right to ask for. There is a bottle in the cellar that is marked with a faint golden script near the bottom of the middle rack. Inside are the details of a seaside villa that has no ties to me or my family in the Bay of Black Pearls. It is yours with my deepest gratitude.” Another pause was taken so that she could place her hands upon his, clutching them around the brush. “This is my final ask of you and I will hear no retort.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Winter 5107&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hands were bound with steel cuffs, it seemed unnecessary but also rather ironic. At least she could find some humor in the situation, if not a bit of flattery. As she shifted her small wrists in the heavy shackles a booming voice rang out in the small chamber.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uniana Le’Gondren Nalfein, you stand charged with treason against the City-State of Illistim, stimulating war against the Shining City, encouraging sorcery within the city walls, endangering the safety of others and aiding and abetting known war criminals. How do you plead?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Often and believably. Would you like to hear?” Uniana pulled her lips into a side-set grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another voice came from off to the side, as Murstyr Javilerre quipped “Of course she wouldn’t take this seriously.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana shook her head. “I noticed there is no one recording this briefing but I would like to go on record that I appreciate Lord Javilerre’s forceful method of cuffing.” She raised her shackled wrists for emphasis and changed her gaze to focus directly on the aged elf and murmured lasciviously, “now I know where your son acquired his skills.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Murstyr moved towards the small enclosed platform where she stood in a threatening manner before the commanding voice from before ordered, “Enough. The evidence against you is insurmountable. We have every believable argument to sentence you to death.” The voice took a pause while Uniana remained in silence looking into the darkened corners of the chamber unphased. “Though, you have curried favor with the Argent and at the suggestion of the Council of Thrones we offer you some conditions that will see your life spared in return for effective services.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Like what?” Uniana asked with her voice dripping with aloofness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Describe your familiarity with the sorcerer Mekthros Savius Faendryl?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her blood ran like fire and her voice became sharp and biting, “if you expect to me to sit in one of your dungeons playing a part in incriminating anyone but myself you should just kill me here and now. Death over bondage.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A new voice, one distinctly feminine spoke out now, “ah, she’s just as melodramatic as was suggested.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana narrowed her eyes and retorted, “not unlike having a puppet court in a dark chamber with your interrogators in shadow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another voice now, scholarly and low, explained “we are interested in your ability to record potentially illegal sorcerous activity within and without the city walls. There is mounting pressure after the events of the past years to ensure that we are aware of any potential individuals of concern. Your proximity and unfettered access to one of the most powerful and feared Faendryl sorcerers at present places you in a unique position.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“To simply walk up and insert myself?” Uniana thought to herself. She knew that the Illistimi were problematic when it came to subterfuge but even this must seem poorly thought out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There is a prominent sorceress of a well-to-do family who is in need of a lady&#039;s maid and guide to Ta’Illistim. She coincidentally also is looking for an enchantress on retainer. She has agreed to pay a large amount of interest on your debts in order to take you into her service. You are to watch and report on any findings,” the female voice explained, “despite the manner of your recent apprehension it is said you are a master at discretion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Murstyr spoke again, “and there are additional conditions for this arrangement. You are to now and forever cease contact with anyone who ever had an association with the Dark Alliance, including family members. While under this agreement you are prohibited from performing any other,” he paused to emphasize disgust in the next word, “duties. You are simply a lady’s maid and an indentured enchantress. If there is any inclination that you are attempting to contact or signal someone with supposed ties to enemies of the City-State, it will be deathwort for both of you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A plea for death rose up in her throat. What life would that be? And what if a sorcerer conclave discovered what had she been doing? Most assuredly a fate worse than death. Then briefly, she felt it. The subtle pound of an alien heart within her chest, it was momentary but undeniable. She could almost hear the thumping. An echo of the connection that they once shared. Something to cling to. Something to live for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Summer 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fourteen years and nothing reported,” the voice outside her cell was heavy with anger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fourteen years and nothing TO REPORT.” Uniana shouted with annoyance and laid her head back against the stone wall of her cell. “I told your Commander a year ago, kill me. I have no desire to waste away in this cell giving myself over to madness.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It will not be much longer now, Commander Javillerre requested your file this morning. You’ll be in the embrace of Gosaena before sunrise tomorrow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t want to give in to the fear or the taking stock of how she got here and what it all meant. Her regrets, her struggles, her joy, and triumphs were vacant now. She found solace in the fact that maybe that was true for everyone at the end. Her laments were mostly with regards to her cousin. Lysistrata was never overly tender but her words always provided a measure of strength to Uniana when she doubted herself and she desperately wished she could tell her how much her mentorship and guidance had meant. Somehow she still managed to feel embarrassed that she had never discovered the fate of Eryael.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She paused to quiet her mind and still her breath. Only one heartbeat. Her own lonely heart pumping with increasing speed at the threat of her anxiety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A loud clatter made her recoil in fear. The gate to her cell was pulled open. A small box filled with her things was placed on the ground and then kicked inside. Atop her belongings was an elegantly scripted vellum letter sealed by a dark crimson wax imprinted with a storm griffin rending a deer. Her dirty hands pulled it apart with a frustrated curiosity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Lady Uniana Le’Gondren Nalfein,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I await you at the garden shrine. This is not a request.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;- H&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her lips parted into an open-mouth smile as she let out a pant of relief that ended up sounding more like a chuckle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Some things never change.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Fifteen years. It had been fifteen years since she last attended a ball. She had danced with Teveriel then too though she couldn’t quite remember the whole of the details. There wasn’t much to note at the time; it was just another event in a string of balls that she would attend for the social season. The most she recounted was a masquerade in Ta’Illistim and she recalled she had a metallic lace rose mask fashioned especially. They were still enemies at the time, sharing a dance under veiled pretense of civility. A small piece of her had hoped that the ball to honor the fallen would serve as an opportunity to rewrite a history that should have been. But her story was never much intended to be a fairy tale and she knew as much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The events of last night would serve as an opportunity. She had let her guard down, she felt too safe in Ta’Vaalor. Too safe under the eyes of the Legion. A mistake that would be immediately corrected. Today she was awake early, not in the typical way where she was restless and cursing Ronan. This morning, she woke with purpose and found Teveriel still asleep on the divan where Hanshayr had deposited him last night. She fetched a folded blanket from a cabinet, draped it over him and then departed the chalet. He was awake when she returned carrying a large object with a canvas shroud in her hand. Other packages followed behind her, a couple members of the household staff ushering them in. She called for them to be taken to the kitchen and have all that was presently in the pantry and larder tossed out. Though she briefly considered if she could season, preserve and package it and have it delivered to the Obsidian Tower in the West.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she greeted him, setting the object down on the floor next to the divan. She inquired into his current state and gave him a slow, chaste kiss on the forehead, then held her cheek there to check the warmth. Seeming pleased with his progress of recovery she&#039;d call for his breakfast - a large plate of poached eggs covered in sliced beetroot and a herbaceous green sauce served with a chilled glass of pomegranate juice. As he went to reach for a fork she halted him, pulled the cover off the large object and revealed an alert, small sparrowhawk in a gilt-frosted iron cage. She took the silverware and cut a tiny piece from the side of his eggs and placed it in the cage, watching the bird devour it. Taking the spoon she dotted it into the juice and allowed the bird to nip at the dark liquid. Sitting in silence for a moment she watched the bird keenly, before nodding in approval, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll see a clean spoon is brought up.&amp;quot; She offered him a kind smile and went off to tend to more fortifications to ensure the chalet would remain a safe haven in a city where she no longer felt safe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
She was up early, again. Not troubled or restless, she could see the path before her clearly and resolutely. The bower had grown too cold as it seemed the snowfall had continued throughout the night. After tea was delivered and the fire tended she gathered a fur robe about herself and leaned up against the mullioned windows, her violet-haunted gaze focused on the glade below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teveriel had probably been up for hours at this point but you wouldn’t know it by the swing of his arm as he cut through the air with his blunted sword. His aim was true time and time again, slashing into a barkless tree marked with notches to represent the heights of various enemies. There was a new notch this morning, one towering above the others and he seemed to swing relentlessly at it with grim determination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The berserker,” she thought as she adjusted the teacup in her hands to palm the bottom of it while her other steadied the handle, taking a pause to flex her fingers and release some of the stiffness. No doubt this was a result of her attempting to aid Akenna last night with the imbuing of runes. Such tedious work, manipulating the elements. Not like people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flurry of hacking sounds pulled her from her thoughts as Teveriel made a rapid assault against the tree. She knew the idea of Zerroth’s return had brought him dark thoughts and opened old wounds that never really healed. But that wasn’t all the news there was to consider. Her carmine lips pulled into a faint smile before she took another sip of tea. She longed to have this chapter concluded and return east. There was so much to do. Parties to plan, dinners to host as the festive season drew near.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then there was her harp. People had said before that she was something of an artist at it. She&#039;d like to earn that title once more.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Jastatos 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Who would she reunite with if given the chance?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother? No. She doesn’t need to see all the ways she’s failed. Let her rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eryael? Well, he doesn’t really seem to be dead now. Makes that answer a bit easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what about...oh yes, &#039;&#039;him&#039;&#039;. And then she thought about his funeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a typical day and she was bringing up a tray to her Mistress. The paper had been folded neatly, placed off to the side as she had done morning after morning but today when she reached the top of the stairs it slipped down and became a clump on the floor. Bending down to pick it up, she tried to crease it neatly the way it had been folded before when she took note of a headline along the corner: “SUPPOSED DEMONOLOGIST FROM NALFEIN SUCCUMBS TO FAILED SUMMONING”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She left the tray unattended on a nearby console table as she reviewed the details of the article. The facts were murky enough but his name was there and that he would be sent back home for a private funeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;They executed him.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had heard rumors that his name had come up numerous times in the treason and sedition trials following the war. She had seen him manipulate the forces beyond a hundred times and his power over them was confident, even aloof. He would have never lost control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;They wouldn’t suffer a sorcerer.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His family probably paid good money to keep the real cause from public record and this helped shape the continued narrative of the Shining City, that demons were dangerous and unyielding, even to pure elves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reclaiming her composure, she delivered her mistress her breakfast, paper neatly folded on the side and then requested a brief leave to visit her ailing great aunt in Ta’Nalfein. During the whole of her trip she was shadowed by a lithe figure in a dark cobalt silk cloak. The Sapphire Guard wasn’t being subtle, they didn’t need to be, but then again whoever was assigned to this task probably wasn’t exactly operating as one of their best.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day of the funeral she made her way down into the kitchen of her aunt’s townhouse. She did have an aunt in Ta’Nalfein, though she was more alcoholic than ailing. And she wasn’t even staying here at the townhouse. Nothing made Uniana come to terms with her fallen status in society as much as the fact that her own great aunt would not receive her at the family estate but rather kept her at one of her minor properties, like she was some lukewarm acquaintance or passing merchant. Uniana vowed that if she lived through this ordeal she would ensure her status among her family and society would be elevated once more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;If.&#039;&#039; He certainly didn’t make it out alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She grabbed one of the aprons and a plain leather-backed chainsil cloak from off one of the hooks near the backdoor and quietly made her way down the var, head lowered in discretion and possibly shame. The sidegate that led to his family’s garden was left open so that visitors could pay their respects but when she came upon the gathering there were only two males, about his age, dressed in plainish mourning clothes, a half-elf who was in brigandine and his mother. She had met his mother once. Uniana found her kind and smart, real smart. Not some kind of Nalfein feigned intelligence where you read a bit about this or that so you can manage conversations at parties but rather brilliant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked so frail now, pouring loam and ash over a newly dug mound. Next to the smallish mound was a stone of ebony marble and Uniana could determine that it might have been rimmed in black ora but she didn’t dare get closer to the gathering. She remained near the gate out of both respect and fear. This was her fault. He was her mark. She had brought him to the Dark Alliance. She made his mother childless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t all a game to her though. Uniana was actually quite fond of him. He took things easily and he was powerful, a bit of a scoundrel but ever clinging to his elven superiority. There may have even been love between them if they could ever stop using each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The small group began to walk back towards the main house, the mother stopped to consider Uniana at a distance but turned away.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
She doesn’t recognize me.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why would she? Uniana was concealed in outerwear suited only for the scullery and the dress underneath was an ill-fitted hand-me-down from her mistress who never used proper Elven tailors. Uniana took the opportunity to draw near the loose soil and she could see now that the small plaque had his name and had a tiny fragment of his runestaff contained within. From within the pocket of her loose dress she removed a single cutout snowflake crafted from dull metallic parchment. The necklace he had given her was long since sold for whatever meager silver it would have fetched but she still felt sentimental about it. And the ball where she wore it and after, the first time they kissed, even if it was all pretense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was by no means innocent but did he deserve this? Did he hate her for it all? Was any of it worth it? She didn’t deserve those questions answered though. If she could bring him back for one night, for the Eve of the Reunion, it wouldn’t be to calculate the cost of her deeds. She’d simply ask if he had a message for his mother.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Eve of the Reunion 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As they raced down the pier Teveriel called for the crew to begin cutting the lines. The entire dock rolled under the swell of water that came in fast, continuous waves. The onslaught of rain in the whipping wind and the blinding flashes made it nearly impossible to see and Uniana was certain if she hadn&#039;t made the journey across the gangplank numerous times before she would have lost her footing. She kept a close grip on Yukito as Teveriel ushered both of them from a sentinel position in the rear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as they were aboard the ship lurched away from the dock, the sails flapping in the wind. Teveriel ordered the capstan up and Uniana saw Yukito positioned safely below deck. When she got to the helm she questioned their departure but Teveriel assessed rightly that they had no time to spare. To punctuate his statement a crashing wave came over the railing and forced the ship against the dock briefly. Uniana pulled the wheel away and managed to give Teveriel a fearful glance but he confidently assured her, &amp;quot;she will hold.&amp;quot; He captained the crew to adjust the sails to catch the frightful wind and they instantly pulled away from the structure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Goliath waves crashed into the island as they sailed north and away from the doomed land. The peril was far from over as they struggled to navigate the storm. At one point Uniana realized they had been going west again for the better part of half hour but was able to chart them back to the northeast. A few hours into their journey the storm gave way to a gentle, though constant, rain. Uniana took the opportunity to tie the wheel off and give her hands a rest. She went below deck and had tea brewed for herself, the captain and their guests. Before she went back to attend her duties she offered Yukito a blanket and encouraged him to find some real rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dawn broke on the horizon but it only lit the clouds from behind, doing nothing to cease the rains. Before midday they reached their port and Calepher was as good as his word. Upon pulling into the bustling port of Ta&#039;Loenthra, a skiff bearing a silver-harp on a purple sail came out to meet them. They were not permitted to dock but they were granted permission to anchor, supply and take rest for the evening. When morning came it did not go unnoticed that somehow Teveriel had smuggled aboard some artisan pastries and fresh coffee. Then while the crew prepared the ship for the exhausting voyage back to the West the trio of them leaned against the railing of the Blue Fortress, sipping their coffee and watching the sun come up in a clear sky for the first time in what seemed to be the better part of a month.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
She had met with “H” all of three times before this encounter and each time he had used his intimidating presence to establish the nature of their relationship. He was in absolute control, he knew her movements, he knew things she assumed she had whispered in empty rooms and the way he regarded the things she said with a questioning, imperious glare made her feel as though he could sense her innermost thoughts. It made her wonder if he hadn’t a student or two of Harith in his service as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even still, there was something to be said for the way he deferred to her insight or recommendations about how to rally or connect with the pockets of elves who privately acknowledged Mularos as their patron. He knew that she was a lynchpin to Eryael and if Eryael accomplished nothing else he fostered a new era of Mularosian worship in the City-States. Politicians, nobility, commanders --though without leadership these silent proselytes were floundering. They were in need of a sycophant and “H” was just the type to take up the mantle or at least instill a puppet figurehead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s where the necessity of Eryael’s fate came in. Too many of them were even still under somewhat of his spell, much like Uniana. They required closure before they could possibly consider accepting a new head of their sects. No one would have been more knowledgeable or better equipped to discover the truth of his fate besides one of his soulbonds, Uniana. Uniana, who had spent years searching amongst the rubble of the Black Temple. Uniana, who had learned cartography to better understand the layout of the Dragonspine. Uniana, who studied under Lord Veythorne to learn more of wind currents and possible trajectories of debris on that day. Uniana, who still bore his mark with as much pride as one would display a wedding ring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The terms you had placed on my contract are complete,” she offered in the dark office that smelled of bourbon, velvetier and freshly-inked parchment. There was no lingering hint of roses in this room and she wondered if that would begin to dissipate from the other rooms of the estate as well. She reiterated to him the details she had collected and her own interpretation for him, “he is not dead but he is not on this plane. If you wish to commune with him I would recommend finding the best painters, vocalists and musicians and watching them. He will look for beauty and creativity as an anchor, only ones that are born of suffering and anguish. Though they have to be the very best, they would have to make Eorgina inclined to steal them away to build a second Li&#039;aerion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” made no immediate reaction but drummed his fingers along a vellum that rested atop his desk. “Eager to have your new paramour buy you out from the Order hrm? And what of Eryael, will you try to lure him back? You’re artistically inclined or at least the documents suggest.” He paused his hand and regarded her with a cruel smile, “I’ve never had the pleasure.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She opted not to address his second question and instead correct him on the details of his first, “the Order of the Lily does not deal in slavery or indentured servitude, I am free to resign at will. However, Lord Anduin is offering them a fair amount to ensure that we part amicably. Though my worth to them is obviously diminished along with my credibility.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” offered her a dark smile. “Yes, a bit of a novelty now, aren’t you? No longer a main attraction. Still my contacts at the bank suggest that Lord Anduin is pulling together a prince’s ransom. At least someone still thinks you are worth that kind of trouble. Are you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana didn’t respond, keeping her expressionless gaze on him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” stood from behind his desk in a precise, clipped motion. He announced, “well then, there is one more bit of business to conclude. You will join me in the garden,” he gestured behind her towards the door and added with a barely suppressed maliciousness, “I trust you remember the way, if not, permit me to &#039;&#039;&#039;show&#039;&#039;&#039; you.”&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;A letter crafted in the middle of the night on Phoenatos 28th, 5121.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The folded parchment bears no other detail on it except the word “Diamond” in a neat, black ink across the front&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I apologize for not writing again since the sentence was commuted. It is difficult to ensure that these will get to you without the risk of any obtrusion. I have found myself in the West for the time being. Making contact with old connections for old purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You were always my council, my heart and head are never to be trusted. I worry that my time away has made me soft and weak. The long years are giving me a desire to resign myself from all this wretched business. Is that pathetic? If I do press forward am I being stubborn? A part of me feels like I have already invested so much, I have to see an end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear, I find myself questioning if I am foolish. What kind of madness am I infected with that I would continue to give myself to this thankless cause? Isn’t everything I lost enough of a reason to abandon my foolish need for closure? For resolution? There is another aspect of all this too, one I dare not even put down on the page lest the documentation of it makes it more real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would give anything to be in your radiant presence again but for now your words will more than suffice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your Loving Cousin,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ruby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;A letter crafted in the morning on Eoantos 23rd, 5121.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Uniana held her quill above the parchment and considered for a moment that she should write the following in their coded hand. Upon further reflection, the nature of the letter spoke to honesty and the absence of clandestine operations in her life, so she wrote freely in Elven.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beloved Cousin,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope this finds you ever radiant and in proud spirits. Vyctus seems to be thriving with his naval endeavors and I hear that Lear is once more the talk of the Ardenai court with his charm and steady aim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By now you have learned that I have left the Order of the Lily, my last contract fulfilled and myself now retired. My credibility amongst certain circles tarnished after my exposed allegiance during the war, my movements would never hold the power they once did. At least not as a courtesan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that brings to the point of this letter. These last few months I have been keeping the company of Lord Teveriel Anduin, who you know to be of good character and renowned as a hero among his house. He has inherited the title and estates of his father after his passing during the war. Some fifteen years ago we were so much in each other’s orbit but now the pull is undeniable. As the matriarch of our house, I seek your blessing if there is the opportunity for a formal alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The fine scripting on the vellum becomes a bit less neat.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know I have not always brought honor to our family and so your council in this matter will be heeded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Love,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;She took great care once more as she addressed the front with “Lady Lysistrata Scio”&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

The fires in the grand hall were roaring but only the loudest pops and crackles were heard over the litany of conversations and the upbeat, rhythmic playing of the orchestra. Everywhere she looked were glittering metallic ornaments and ladies garbed in rich jewel toned velvet. Her own gown felt unnecessarily warm between the barrage of the fires and the density of the crowded room. It made her feel flush or perhaps that was the passing smile of a familiar face across the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evergreen and gingerbread hung heavy in the air and she could almost taste the cinnamon and nutmeg of the mulled wine. Almost. Because none of this was real. Just another meditative daydream in an effort to escape the grim reality of her cold, dark cell somewhere in the labyrinthian building of the Ta&#039;Illistim Keep. The pleasant noise of her dream was replaced by the constant patter of dripping water from the ceiling. A soft sob could be heard from down the hall within another cell. Uniana rolled on her cot and shut her eyes, trying not curse Ronan for the thousandth time. She hoped briefly that execution would come quickly, she couldn&#039;t take another winter in solitude. &#039;&#039;She wouldn&#039;t.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

It was the sixth evening of their honeymoon in Ta’Nalfein and everything in her soul called to Uniana to remain in their shared bed. Yet, who knew when they would return to Ta&#039;Nalfein again. At least some business would require her attention before more pleasure. She had made time to dive deeper into the organization known as the Sparrows of the Night Queen, she and her new husband had visited some family and prominent shops and that left one final distraction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had barely put her feet on the floor when her husband asked with a hint of disappointment, &amp;quot;you still mean to go then?&amp;quot; Her dark curls shifted subtly around her face as she nodded wordlessly which prompted him to rise as well. They dressed in cloaks with encompassing hoods and made their way to the distant side of the city to a small domed basilica trimmed in ivory marble. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curved doors were open allowing for the quiet interior to be cooled by the sea air. Uniana stepped in first followed by Teveriel who narrowed his eyes as he studied the dim sanctuary. Uniana had no sooner pushed back her hood when a robed figure approached, arms outstretched. &amp;quot;I was hoping you would pay us a visit,&amp;quot; the older elf&#039;s voice was warm and his demeanor full of familiarity. Uniana embraced him and he put an arm around her, nodding over to Teveriel. &amp;quot;You are very welcome here, Lord of Vaalor.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The older elf and Uniana began to walk down the aisle that led to the altar. Teveriel shifted a moment and considered following them but opted to sit and allow the two a private reunion. Teveriel watched them as they whispered back and forth with smiles, his own lips set firm with displeasure as they drew closer to an ivory statue of an elf with rose vines binding his wrists, the thorns piercing into the stone with such detail that it appeared as pliable flesh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The duo bowed their heads before the statue and continued in muted conversation. The priest disappeared and returned, taking Uniana by the arm as he escorted her back to Teveriel who could now hear some of their conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We didn&#039;t win,&amp;quot; the priest said emotionlessly, &amp;quot;and yet we did not lose. You are a good ambassador, you could have been a good scion but that was not your path,&amp;quot; and the priest looked out into the pews to Teveriel who sat in a terse silence. &amp;quot;You are in a cycle of pleasure and beauty, doesn&#039;t the pain and loss you felt make it all the sweeter?&amp;quot; He did not let Uniana answer, &amp;quot;I have something for you. You earned it. You can walk in the light but the shadow of Lornon will always welcome you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He opened a small box of night-dark glass rimmed in pearls that were just as black. Even as he opened it the jeweled item inside sparkled in the sparse light. His aged hands held it reverently and he lifted it to crown her. As it blended into Uniana&#039;s dark cherry curls the blazestar halo began to fade away and her form was bathed in a muted crimson essence. Teveriel took in a deep, steading breath. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Lady Uniana Anduin Nalfein&#039;&#039;&#039; is a prominent socialite and currently maintains partial citizenship in [[Ta&#039;Vaalor]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana was the only child of Lady Vlienive and Lord Chengric Le’Gondren [[Nalfein]]. Her father a minor noble and aspiring vintner, her mother of an ancient noble house and a former courtesan. She is the cousin of [[Lysistrata]], [[Lear]] and [[Vyctus]] Scio on her mother&#039;s side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When she had come of age she was inducted to the Order of the Lily, a revered training house for the courtesan arts, though it was alleged to create operatives in all matters of the clandestine. When it was discovered that she had a latent aptitude for manipulating air currents she briefly was put into their elemancer program but her ability to pull and weave the flows of essence was sloppy and she seemed uninterested in attempting to apply herself to their rigorous research requirements. Even still, more recently she became something of a student of Lord [[Veythorne]], prior to his reclusion, learning more about the theology of air as well as the physical properties of the element. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After graduating from the Order of the Lily, she spent several years entertaining and offering companionship to the upper echelons of the City-States&#039; society. Hearsay suggests that sometime around 5102 her frequent trips to the West were due to her supposed involvement with the [[Dark Alliance]] and that she was perhaps intimately connected to the Painlord [[Eryael]]. It is rumored that at some point around 5107 Ta&#039;Illistim put her on trial for her supposed crimes towards the City-State during the second [[Griffin Sword Saga|Griffin Sword War]]. This could explain her complete disappearance from society and the gossip that she was serving as a lady&#039;s maid. At the end of summer 5121 she reappeared into society on retainer under the mysterious &amp;quot;H&amp;quot;. This would be her last assignation and she retired from her Order before the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She married Lord [[Teveriel (prime)|Teveriel]] Anduin Vaalor on Ivastaen the Twenty-First of 5122 and using her passion of cartography and understanding of air currents serves as the Chief Navigator for his fleet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:You see Lady Uniana Le&#039;Gondren Nalfein the Socialite. &lt;br /&gt;
:She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is shorter than average.  She appears to have come of age.  She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin.  She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair twisted into loose ringlets.  She has an unlined face and subtly arched eyebrows.  Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.&lt;br /&gt;
:She has a thin scar of delicate intertwined thorns on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is holding an alum-slated viridian silk fan in her right hand.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing a fanning necklet of cabochon emeralds and minute black pearls, a shoulder-gathered emerald satin chiton with a dramatic plunging neckline, an upward terminating faenor cincher of wrought thorn vines, a domed rich viridian faenor signet ring, and some soft ebon suede ankle-tied sandals beaded with oblong nephrites.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;an alum-slated viridian silk fan&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;Intricately etched to mimic the curve, length, and texture of a rose vine, three of the fan&#039;s alum slats are imbedded with tiny malachite chips, while the remaining three are carved into a twisted thorn shape.  Viridian marbrinus silk stretches between beautifully wrought slats and is painted with a blooming ebon rose, whose petals are appliqued with crushed velvet.  A pair of malachite cabochons is set within the alum handle, which is fitted with an ebon-veined viridian silk wrist strap.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;a domed rich viridian faenor signet ring&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
: &#039;&#039;The signet is made of faenor in the design of an elven-style crest, divided in the imperial style. The background is composed of green jade with a single blood red spiral curling from the top to encompass a black rose. Set below the rose is a thistle of deep amethyst accented with hues of blood red, resting atop a black dagger. Flanked to the right side is a stalk of golden foxglove resting on an ebon wine goblet and to the left is a pure white lily with a blood red center.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

:She appears to be an Elf.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is shorter than average and has a nipped waist silhouette.  She appears to have come of age.  She has violet-shadowed, pale lilac eyes and ivory skin.  She has long, silky black cherry-hued hair falling about her body in fragile tufts with some speckled pale apple blossoms amid the large, soft curls.  She has an unlined face and subtly arched eyebrows.  Her soft lips are tinged with understated carmine.

:She is in good shape.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is holding a feathery silk-tied bouquet of vibrant greenery and pale blossoms in her left hand.&lt;br /&gt;
:She is wearing a hair-thin chain of electrum and nacre resting against the sternum, a long vert train of tonal silk forming dark-hearted roses and gilt-traced dragonstalks over a tiered-hem hunter green chiffon gown hung from two wispy diaphanous panels, a floriated petite lasimor band gracing the left ring finger, a voluminous jade silk dupioni underskirt warmed by honey sheens, and a pair of thick cork-heeled sandals secured by a cagelike array of gold samite straps.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Sometime in 5105&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was in his nature to approach with humility but his demeanor now might even border on timid perhaps even fearful. After a lifetime of service and the multitude of times entering somewhere unheard, there was so much effort extended now into being respectful and quiet, almost silent. The study was darker than it should have been, a symptom of the prompt dismissal of any who dare to enter. The concentration of light was focused on a heavy wood desk. The silhouette of a fragile female elf leaned against the edge of the tabletop focused on what lay beneath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Without looking up from the map that she so intently studied, her voice questioned with a tiredness she either couldn&#039;t manage to hide or no longer cared to, &amp;quot;what?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recent intruder offered in a gentle tone, &amp;quot;can I get you something? When was the last time you accepted a meal?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though her fist tightened her tone did not change as she repeated, &amp;quot;what is it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no getting around what had to be said and it felt like even a sigh of exasperation would be a wasted breath. He mustered all of the courage and strength that he had gained from being in the employ of such an infamous creature and explained, &amp;quot;The bank will loan no more on your credit and your accounts are exhausted. Perhaps it is time to consider calling off the expedition.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, the female elf lifted her face and settled her heavy purple-toned gaze upon her servant. Her demeanor was neither cold nor angry, she spoke evenly almost as a matter of fact, &amp;quot;then levy the estates, the vineyard, the lake house, sell the galleon. Clean out every closet, every jewelry box, anything of value that is remotely in my possession.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As her servant opened his mouth in what was sure to be a cautious protest she cut him off and made her intent clear once again. &amp;quot;The only conclusion to this endeavor is finding Eryael Ladrinyth alive.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&amp;lt; Originally posted in 2005&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Harsh, shrill air whipped over her face with a violent sting, bringing tears to her blood-shot eyes. The cold of the mountain made the muscles of her face burn deep into the nerves. With a hopeless sigh, she turned and looked at the darkness that surrounded her, icy crags shrouded in grey fog. It would not be much different than the maze exercises her Order had insisted that she practice. Her watery gaze studied the incline for an extended moment and then the lithe elf shut her eyes. Inside her mind a pattern developed --each twist and turn, each rock and ravine she would be able to surmount and comb through. After calculating erratically the position of where the Black Temple had fallen, she began her ascension up the Dragonspine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Her movement was sluggish as she trudged along in the deep snow, sinking into her knees with each step. The thin silk skirt that was draped over her legs was dampened by the wet fall. Like a thousand slivers digging into her feet, she could feel every crack and point of unleveled ground beneath her. Feebly, she tried to keep her hands warm by sheltering them within her sleeves but it was only a matter of hours before the painful sensations that plagued them were replaced with consuming numbness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;It was difficult for her to focus on the white-capped peaks ahead, even where she stood now the wind howled and clawed at her exposed skin. She took a gasping breath of frozen air that made her lungs burn in her chest and cried out, agonized voice echoing among the looming alpines, “Eryael!”&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Warm tears flooded her eyes until they breached the edges, succumbing to the frigid environment. Stumbling under a large conifer the girl huddled against the tree to shield herself from the unrelenting chill. The wind peeled at the layers of her cracked lips, while she parted them to murmur, “I will find you…”.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Autumn 5105&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How long had it been since she was found atop the side of the mountain? When she was found her extremities were a dark blue-purple with frostbite, malnourished and near completely under the influence of Zelia. She was recovering but her delicate elven features were now gaunt and sickly, her lips still healing from the deep chapped cracks. In the past months she spent most of her time laying on a chaise longue next to the window in her room that faced the Dragonspine. Days were spent in eerie silence as she looked at the mountain forlornly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all this time, she finally sent for him in the midst of getting her ringleted hair brushed. She did not dismiss her handmaiden as she spoke but neither turned to look at him either. “Is it true?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He took a step where she reclined and nodded to dismiss the handmaiden. He claimed the brush from her before she left and began to pull through the black cherry-hued strands with a loving gentleness. “The City-State is calling in your loans,” pausing to add for clarity, “all of them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She made no sound but stretched out her legs from next to her, extending them to the end of the chaise. “Then we return home, for now,” she responded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hesitation was almost paralyzing as her servant spoke, “there is more. Our sources have stated they have seen a warrant being drafted at the magistrate’s office. They know that the expedition is not a recovery but a rescue. Evidence has mounted and it is only a matter of days before you are formally charged with treason and high-crimes against the Shining City. It seems reasonable that the Sapphire Guard will be at our door within the week.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He couldn’t see her smile but he could hear the musing in her soft voice, “then we had better pack fast.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idle brushing continued as he delivered a grim counter, “we would have been safe from extradition had the state of the accounts not been so vast. The debt is nearly immeasurable. Nalfein will deliver us without hesitation.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Oh,” was the simple reply and it was followed by a length of silence with only the subtle rustle of the horsehair brush through her dark red hair. Then she sat up, pulling away and stated with no urgency, “have Samiel lay out the cardinal dupioni silk gown, the gold and eahnor pendant that goes with it. Then I want you to give whatever we have left to the remaining servants and dismiss them under the cover of night.” Standing up then, she turns towards her servant, “you have been the truest and given more than I ever had the right to ask for. There is a bottle in the cellar that is marked with a faint golden script near the bottom of the middle rack. Inside are the details of a seaside villa that has no ties to me or my family in the Bay of Black Pearls. It is yours with my deepest gratitude.” Another pause was taken so that she could place her hands upon his, clutching them around the brush. “This is my final ask of you and I will hear no retort.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Winter 5107&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her hands were bound with steel cuffs, it seemed unnecessary but also rather ironic. At least she could find some humor in the situation, if not a bit of flattery. As she shifted her small wrists in the heavy shackles a booming voice rang out in the small chamber.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Uniana Le’Gondren Nalfein, you stand charged with treason against the City-State of Illistim, stimulating war against the Shining City, encouraging sorcery within the city walls, endangering the safety of others and aiding and abetting known war criminals. How do you plead?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Often and believably. Would you like to hear?” Uniana pulled her lips into a side-set grin.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another voice came from off to the side, as Murstyr Javilerre quipped “Of course she wouldn’t take this seriously.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana shook her head. “I noticed there is no one recording this briefing but I would like to go on record that I appreciate Lord Javilerre’s forceful method of cuffing.” She raised her shackled wrists for emphasis and changed her gaze to focus directly on the aged elf and murmured lasciviously, “now I know where your son acquired his skills.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Murstyr moved towards the small enclosed platform where she stood in a threatening manner before the commanding voice from before ordered, “Enough. The evidence against you is insurmountable. We have every believable argument to sentence you to death.” The voice took a pause while Uniana remained in silence looking into the darkened corners of the chamber unphased. “Though, you have curried favor with the Argent and at the suggestion of the Council of Thrones we offer you some conditions that will see your life spared in return for effective services.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Like what?” Uniana asked with her voice dripping with aloofness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Describe your familiarity with the sorcerer Mekthros Savius Faendryl?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her blood ran like fire and her voice became sharp and biting, “if you expect to me to sit in one of your dungeons playing a part in incriminating anyone but myself you should just kill me here and now. Death over bondage.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A new voice, one distinctly feminine spoke out now, “ah, she’s just as melodramatic as was suggested.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana narrowed her eyes and retorted, “not unlike having a puppet court in a dark chamber with your interrogators in shadow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another voice now, scholarly and low, explained “we are interested in your ability to record potentially illegal sorcerous activity within and without the city walls. There is mounting pressure after the events of the past years to ensure that we are aware of any potential individuals of concern. Your proximity and unfettered access to one of the most powerful and feared Faendryl sorcerers at present places you in a unique position.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“To simply walk up and insert myself?” Uniana thought to herself. She knew that the Illistimi were problematic when it came to subterfuge but even this must seem poorly thought out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There is a prominent sorceress of a well-to-do family who is in need of a lady&#039;s maid and guide to Ta’Illistim. She coincidentally also is looking for an enchantress on retainer. She has agreed to pay a large amount of interest on your debts in order to take you into her service. You are to watch and report on any findings,” the female voice explained, “despite the manner of your recent apprehension it is said you are a master at discretion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Murstyr spoke again, “and there are additional conditions for this arrangement. You are to now and forever cease contact with anyone who ever had an association with the Dark Alliance, including family members. While under this agreement you are prohibited from performing any other,” he paused to emphasize disgust in the next word, “duties. You are simply a lady’s maid and an indentured enchantress. If there is any inclination that you are attempting to contact or signal someone with supposed ties to enemies of the City-State, it will be deathwort for both of you.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A plea for death rose up in her throat. What life would that be? And what if a sorcerer conclave discovered what had she been doing? Most assuredly a fate worse than death. Then briefly, she felt it. The subtle pound of an alien heart within her chest, it was momentary but undeniable. She could almost hear the thumping. An echo of the connection that they once shared. Something to cling to. Something to live for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
“Fourteen years and nothing reported,” the voice outside her cell was heavy with anger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Fourteen years and nothing TO REPORT.” Uniana shouted with annoyance and laid her head back against the stone wall of her cell. “I told your Commander a year ago, kill me. I have no desire to waste away in this cell giving myself over to madness.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“It will not be much longer now, Commander Javillerre requested your file this morning. You’ll be in the embrace of Gosaena before sunrise tomorrow.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She didn’t want to give in to the fear or the taking stock of how she got here and what it all meant. Her regrets, her struggles, her joy, and triumphs were vacant now. She found solace in the fact that maybe that was true for everyone at the end. Her laments were mostly with regards to her cousin. Lysistrata was never overly tender but her words always provided a measure of strength to Uniana when she doubted herself and she desperately wished she could tell her how much her mentorship and guidance had meant. Somehow she still managed to feel embarrassed that she had never discovered the fate of Eryael.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She paused to quiet her mind and still her breath. Only one heartbeat. Her own lonely heart pumping with increasing speed at the threat of her anxiety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A loud clatter made her recoil in fear. The gate to her cell was pulled open. A small box filled with her things was placed on the ground and then kicked inside. Atop her belongings was an elegantly scripted vellum letter sealed by a dark crimson wax imprinted with a storm griffin rending a deer. Her dirty hands pulled it apart with a frustrated curiosity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Lady Uniana Le’Gondren Nalfein,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;I await you at the garden shrine. This is not a request.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;- H&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her lips parted into an open-mouth smile as she let out a pant of relief that ended up sounding more like a chuckle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Some things never change.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Fifteen years. It had been fifteen years since she last attended a ball. She had danced with Teveriel then too though she couldn’t quite remember the whole of the details. There wasn’t much to note at the time; it was just another event in a string of balls that she would attend for the social season. The most she recounted was a masquerade in Ta’Illistim and she recalled she had a metallic lace rose mask fashioned especially. They were still enemies at the time, sharing a dance under veiled pretense of civility. A small piece of her had hoped that the ball to honor the fallen would serve as an opportunity to rewrite a history that should have been. But her story was never much intended to be a fairy tale and she knew as much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The events of last night would serve as an opportunity. She had let her guard down, she felt too safe in Ta’Vaalor. Too safe under the eyes of the Legion. A mistake that would be immediately corrected. Today she was awake early, not in the typical way where she was restless and cursing Ronan. This morning, she woke with purpose and found Teveriel still asleep on the divan where Hanshayr had deposited him last night. She fetched a folded blanket from a cabinet, draped it over him and then departed the chalet. He was awake when she returned carrying a large object with a canvas shroud in her hand. Other packages followed behind her, a couple members of the household staff ushering them in. She called for them to be taken to the kitchen and have all that was presently in the pantry and larder tossed out. Though she briefly considered if she could season, preserve and package it and have it delivered to the Obsidian Tower in the West.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then she greeted him, setting the object down on the floor next to the divan. She inquired into his current state and gave him a slow, chaste kiss on the forehead, then held her cheek there to check the warmth. Seeming pleased with his progress of recovery she&#039;d call for his breakfast - a large plate of poached eggs covered in sliced beetroot and a herbaceous green sauce served with a chilled glass of pomegranate juice. As he went to reach for a fork she halted him, pulled the cover off the large object and revealed an alert, small sparrowhawk in a gilt-frosted iron cage. She took the silverware and cut a tiny piece from the side of his eggs and placed it in the cage, watching the bird devour it. Taking the spoon she dotted it into the juice and allowed the bird to nip at the dark liquid. Sitting in silence for a moment she watched the bird keenly, before nodding in approval, &amp;quot;I&#039;ll see a clean spoon is brought up.&amp;quot; She offered him a kind smile and went off to tend to more fortifications to ensure the chalet would remain a safe haven in a city where she no longer felt safe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
She was up early, again. Not troubled or restless, she could see the path before her clearly and resolutely. The bower had grown too cold as it seemed the snowfall had continued throughout the night. After tea was delivered and the fire tended she gathered a fur robe about herself and leaned up against the mullioned windows, her violet-haunted gaze focused on the glade below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Teveriel had probably been up for hours at this point but you wouldn’t know it by the swing of his arm as he cut through the air with his blunted sword. His aim was true time and time again, slashing into a barkless tree marked with notches to represent the heights of various enemies. There was a new notch this morning, one towering above the others and he seemed to swing relentlessly at it with grim determination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The berserker,” she thought as she adjusted the teacup in her hands to palm the bottom of it while her other steadied the handle, taking a pause to flex her fingers and release some of the stiffness. No doubt this was a result of her attempting to aid Akenna last night with the imbuing of runes. Such tedious work, manipulating the elements. Not like people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flurry of hacking sounds pulled her from her thoughts as Teveriel made a rapid assault against the tree. She knew the idea of Zerroth’s return had brought him dark thoughts and opened old wounds that never really healed. But that wasn’t all the news there was to consider. Her carmine lips pulled into a faint smile before she took another sip of tea. She longed to have this chapter concluded and return east. There was so much to do. Parties to plan, dinners to host as the festive season drew near.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then there was her harp. People had said before that she was something of an artist at it. She&#039;d like to earn that title once more.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Jastatos 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Who would she reunite with if given the chance?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her mother? No. She doesn’t need to see all the ways she’s failed. Let her rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eryael? Well, he doesn’t really seem to be dead now. Makes that answer a bit easier.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But what about...oh yes, &#039;&#039;him&#039;&#039;. And then she thought about his funeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a typical day and she was bringing up a tray to her Mistress. The paper had been folded neatly, placed off to the side as she had done morning after morning but today when she reached the top of the stairs it slipped down and became a clump on the floor. Bending down to pick it up, she tried to crease it neatly the way it had been folded before when she took note of a headline along the corner: “SUPPOSED DEMONOLOGIST FROM NALFEIN SUCCUMBS TO FAILED SUMMONING”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She left the tray unattended on a nearby console table as she reviewed the details of the article. The facts were murky enough but his name was there and that he would be sent back home for a private funeral.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;They executed him.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had heard rumors that his name had come up numerous times in the treason and sedition trials following the war. She had seen him manipulate the forces beyond a hundred times and his power over them was confident, even aloof. He would have never lost control.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;They wouldn’t suffer a sorcerer.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His family probably paid good money to keep the real cause from public record and this helped shape the continued narrative of the Shining City, that demons were dangerous and unyielding, even to pure elves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reclaiming her composure, she delivered her mistress her breakfast, paper neatly folded on the side and then requested a brief leave to visit her ailing great aunt in Ta’Nalfein. During the whole of her trip she was shadowed by a lithe figure in a dark cobalt silk cloak. The Sapphire Guard wasn’t being subtle, they didn’t need to be, but then again whoever was assigned to this task probably wasn’t exactly operating as one of their best.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The day of the funeral she made her way down into the kitchen of her aunt’s townhouse. She did have an aunt in Ta’Nalfein, though she was more alcoholic than ailing. And she wasn’t even staying here at the townhouse. Nothing made Uniana come to terms with her fallen status in society as much as the fact that her own great aunt would not receive her at the family estate but rather kept her at one of her minor properties, like she was some lukewarm acquaintance or passing merchant. Uniana vowed that if she lived through this ordeal she would ensure her status among her family and society would be elevated once more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;If.&#039;&#039; He certainly didn’t make it out alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She grabbed one of the aprons and a plain leather-backed chainsil cloak from off one of the hooks near the backdoor and quietly made her way down the var, head lowered in discretion and possibly shame. The sidegate that led to his family’s garden was left open so that visitors could pay their respects but when she came upon the gathering there were only two males, about his age, dressed in plainish mourning clothes, a half-elf who was in brigandine and his mother. She had met his mother once. Uniana found her kind and smart, real smart. Not some kind of Nalfein feigned intelligence where you read a bit about this or that so you can manage conversations at parties but rather brilliant.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She looked so frail now, pouring loam and ash over a newly dug mound. Next to the smallish mound was a stone of ebony marble and Uniana could determine that it might have been rimmed in black ora but she didn’t dare get closer to the gathering. She remained near the gate out of both respect and fear. This was her fault. He was her mark. She had brought him to the Dark Alliance. She made his mother childless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn’t all a game to her though. Uniana was actually quite fond of him. He took things easily and he was powerful, a bit of a scoundrel but ever clinging to his elven superiority. There may have even been love between them if they could ever stop using each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The small group began to walk back towards the main house, the mother stopped to consider Uniana at a distance but turned away.&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
She doesn’t recognize me.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why would she? Uniana was concealed in outerwear suited only for the scullery and the dress underneath was an ill-fitted hand-me-down from her mistress who never used proper Elven tailors. Uniana took the opportunity to draw near the loose soil and she could see now that the small plaque had his name and had a tiny fragment of his runestaff contained within. From within the pocket of her loose dress she removed a single cutout snowflake crafted from dull metallic parchment. The necklace he had given her was long since sold for whatever meager silver it would have fetched but she still felt sentimental about it. And the ball where she wore it and after, the first time they kissed, even if it was all pretense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was by no means innocent but did he deserve this? Did he hate her for it all? Was any of it worth it? She didn’t deserve those questions answered though. If she could bring him back for one night, for the Eve of the Reunion, it wouldn’t be to calculate the cost of her deeds. She’d simply ask if he had a message for his mother.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Eve of the Reunion 5121&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As they raced down the pier Teveriel called for the crew to begin cutting the lines. The entire dock rolled under the swell of water that came in fast, continuous waves. The onslaught of rain in the whipping wind and the blinding flashes made it nearly impossible to see and Uniana was certain if she hadn&#039;t made the journey across the gangplank numerous times before she would have lost her footing. She kept a close grip on Yukito as Teveriel ushered both of them from a sentinel position in the rear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as they were aboard the ship lurched away from the dock, the sails flapping in the wind. Teveriel ordered the capstan up and Uniana saw Yukito positioned safely below deck. When she got to the helm she questioned their departure but Teveriel assessed rightly that they had no time to spare. To punctuate his statement a crashing wave came over the railing and forced the ship against the dock briefly. Uniana pulled the wheel away and managed to give Teveriel a fearful glance but he confidently assured her, &amp;quot;she will hold.&amp;quot; He captained the crew to adjust the sails to catch the frightful wind and they instantly pulled away from the structure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Goliath waves crashed into the island as they sailed north and away from the doomed land. The peril was far from over as they struggled to navigate the storm. At one point Uniana realized they had been going west again for the better part of half hour but was able to chart them back to the northeast. A few hours into their journey the storm gave way to a gentle, though constant, rain. Uniana took the opportunity to tie the wheel off and give her hands a rest. She went below deck and had tea brewed for herself, the captain and their guests. Before she went back to attend her duties she offered Yukito a blanket and encouraged him to find some real rest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dawn broke on the horizon but it only lit the clouds from behind, doing nothing to cease the rains. Before midday they reached their port and Calepher was as good as his word. Upon pulling into the bustling port of Ta&#039;Loenthra, a skiff bearing a silver-harp on a purple sail came out to meet them. They were not permitted to dock but they were granted permission to anchor, supply and take rest for the evening. When morning came it did not go unnoticed that somehow Teveriel had smuggled aboard some artisan pastries and fresh coffee. Then while the crew prepared the ship for the exhausting voyage back to the West the trio of them leaned against the railing of the Blue Fortress, sipping their coffee and watching the sun come up in a clear sky for the first time in what seemed to be the better part of a month.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
She had met with “H” all of three times before this encounter and each time he had used his intimidating presence to establish the nature of their relationship. He was in absolute control, he knew her movements, he knew things she assumed she had whispered in empty rooms and the way he regarded the things she said with a questioning, imperious glare made her feel as though he could sense her innermost thoughts. It made her wonder if he hadn’t a student or two of Harith in his service as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even still, there was something to be said for the way he deferred to her insight or recommendations about how to rally or connect with the pockets of elves who privately acknowledged Mularos as their patron. He knew that she was a lynchpin to Eryael and if Eryael accomplished nothing else he fostered a new era of Mularosian worship in the City-States. Politicians, nobility, commanders --though without leadership these silent proselytes were floundering. They were in need of a sycophant and “H” was just the type to take up the mantle or at least instill a puppet figurehead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s where the necessity of Eryael’s fate came in. Too many of them were even still under somewhat of his spell, much like Uniana. They required closure before they could possibly consider accepting a new head of their sects. No one would have been more knowledgeable or better equipped to discover the truth of his fate besides one of his soulbonds, Uniana. Uniana, who had spent years searching amongst the rubble of the Black Temple. Uniana, who had learned cartography to better understand the layout of the Dragonspine. Uniana, who studied under Lord Veythorne to learn more of wind currents and possible trajectories of debris on that day. Uniana, who still bore his mark with as much pride as one would display a wedding ring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The terms you had placed on my contract are complete,” she offered in the dark office that smelled of bourbon, velvetier and freshly-inked parchment. There was no lingering hint of roses in this room and she wondered if that would begin to dissipate from the other rooms of the estate as well. She reiterated to him the details she had collected and her own interpretation for him, “he is not dead but he is not on this plane. If you wish to commune with him I would recommend finding the best painters, vocalists and musicians and watching them. He will look for beauty and creativity as an anchor, only ones that are born of suffering and anguish. Though they have to be the very best, they would have to make Eorgina inclined to steal them away to build a second Li&#039;aerion.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” made no immediate reaction but drummed his fingers along a vellum that rested atop his desk. “Eager to have your new paramour buy you out from the Order hrm? And what of Eryael, will you try to lure him back? You’re artistically inclined or at least the documents suggest.” He paused his hand and regarded her with a cruel smile, “I’ve never had the pleasure.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She opted not to address his second question and instead correct him on the details of his first, “the Order of the Lily does not deal in slavery or indentured servitude, I am free to resign at will. However, Lord Anduin is offering them a fair amount to ensure that we part amicably. Though my worth to them is obviously diminished along with my credibility.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” offered her a dark smile. “Yes, a bit of a novelty now, aren’t you? No longer a main attraction. Still my contacts at the bank suggest that Lord Anduin is pulling together a prince’s ransom. At least someone still thinks you are worth that kind of trouble. Are you?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana didn’t respond, keeping her expressionless gaze on him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“H” stood from behind his desk in a precise, clipped motion. He announced, “well then, there is one more bit of business to conclude. You will join me in the garden,” he gestured behind her towards the door and added with a barely suppressed maliciousness, “I trust you remember the way, if not, permit me to &#039;&#039;&#039;show&#039;&#039;&#039; you.”&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;A letter crafted in the middle of the night on Phoenatos 28th, 5121.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The folded parchment bears no other detail on it except the word “Diamond” in a neat, black ink across the front&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I apologize for not writing again since the sentence was commuted. It is difficult to ensure that these will get to you without the risk of any obtrusion. I have found myself in the West for the time being. Making contact with old connections for old purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You were always my council, my heart and head are never to be trusted. I worry that my time away has made me soft and weak. The long years are giving me a desire to resign myself from all this wretched business. Is that pathetic? If I do press forward am I being stubborn? A part of me feels like I have already invested so much, I have to see an end.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dear, I find myself questioning if I am foolish. What kind of madness am I infected with that I would continue to give myself to this thankless cause? Isn’t everything I lost enough of a reason to abandon my foolish need for closure? For resolution? There is another aspect of all this too, one I dare not even put down on the page lest the documentation of it makes it more real.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would give anything to be in your radiant presence again but for now your words will more than suffice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your Loving Cousin,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ruby&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;A letter crafted in the morning on Eoantos 23rd, 5121.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Uniana held her quill above the parchment and considered for a moment that she should write the following in their coded hand. Upon further reflection, the nature of the letter spoke to honesty and the absence of clandestine operations in her life, so she wrote freely in Elven.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beloved Cousin,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope this finds you ever radiant and in proud spirits. Vyctus seems to be thriving with his naval endeavors and I hear that Lear is once more the talk of the Ardenai court with his charm and steady aim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By now you have learned that I have left the Order of the Lily, my last contract fulfilled and myself now retired. My credibility amongst certain circles tarnished after my exposed allegiance during the war, my movements would never hold the power they once did. At least not as a courtesan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that brings to the point of this letter. These last few months I have been keeping the company of Lord Teveriel Anduin, who you know to be of good character and renowned as a hero among his house. He has inherited the title and estates of his father after his passing during the war. Some fifteen years ago we were so much in each other’s orbit but now the pull is undeniable. As the matriarch of our house, I seek your blessing if there is the opportunity for a formal alliance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;The fine scripting on the vellum becomes a bit less neat.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know I have not always brought honor to our family and so your council in this matter will be heeded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Love,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Uniana&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The fires in the grand hall were roaring but only the loudest pops and crackles were heard over the litany of conversations and the upbeat, rhythmic playing of the orchestra. Everywhere she looked were glittering metallic ornaments and ladies garbed in rich jewel toned velvet. Her own gown felt unnecessarily warm between the barrage of the fires and the density of the crowded room. It made her feel flush or perhaps that was the passing smile of a familiar face across the room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evergreen and gingerbread hung heavy in the air and she could almost taste the cinnamon and nutmeg of the mulled wine. Almost. Because none of this was real. Just another meditative daydream in an effort to escape the grim reality of her cold, dark cell somewhere in the labyrinthian building of the Ta&#039;Illistim Keep. The pleasant noise of her dream was replaced by the constant patter of dripping water from the ceiling. A soft sob could be heard from down the hall within another cell. Uniana rolled on her cot and shut her eyes, trying not curse Ronan for the thousandth time. She hoped briefly that execution would come quickly, she couldn&#039;t take another winter in solitude. &#039;&#039;She wouldn&#039;t.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

It was the sixth evening of their honeymoon in Ta’Nalfein and everything in her soul called to Uniana to remain in their shared bed. Yet, who knew when they would return to Ta&#039;Nalfein again. At least some business would require her attention before more pleasure. She had made time to dive deeper into the organization known as the Sparrows of the Night Queen, she and her new husband had visited some family and prominent shops and that left one final distraction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She had barely put her feet on the floor when her husband asked with a hint of disappointment, &amp;quot;you still mean to go then?&amp;quot; Her dark curls shifted subtly around her face as she nodded wordlessly which prompted him to rise as well. They dressed in cloaks with encompassing hoods and made their way to the distant side of the city to a small domed basilica trimmed in ivory marble. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The curved doors were open allowing for the quiet interior to be cooled by the sea air. Uniana stepped in first followed by Teveriel who narrowed his eyes as he studied the dim sanctuary. Uniana had no sooner pushed back her hood when a robed figure approached, arms outstretched. &amp;quot;I was hoping you would pay us a visit,&amp;quot; the older elf&#039;s voice was warm and his demeanor full of familiarity. Uniana embraced him and he put an arm around her, nodding over to Teveriel. &amp;quot;You are very welcome here, Lord of Vaalor.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The older elf and Uniana began to walk down the aisle that led to the altar. Teveriel shifted a moment and considered following them but opted to sit and allow the two a private reunion. Teveriel watched them as they whispered back and forth with smiles, his own lips set firm with displeasure as they drew closer to an ivory statue of an elf with rose vines binding his wrists, the thorns piercing into the stone with such detail that it appeared as pliable flesh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The duo bowed their heads before the statue and continued in muted conversation. The priest disappeared and returned, taking Uniana by the arm as he escorted her back to Teveriel who could now hear some of their conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We didn&#039;t win,&amp;quot; the priest said emotionlessly, &amp;quot;and yet we did not lose. You are a good ambassador, you could have been a good scion but that was not your path,&amp;quot; and the priest looked out into the pews to Teveriel who sat in a terse silence. &amp;quot;You are in a cycle of pleasure and beauty, doesn&#039;t the pain and loss you felt make it all the sweeter?&amp;quot; He did not let Uniana answer, &amp;quot;I have something for you. You earned it. You can walk in the light but the shadow of Lornon will always welcome you.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He opened a small box of night-dark glass rimmed in pearls that were just as black. Even as he opened it the jeweled item inside sparkled in the sparse light. His aged hands held it reverently and he lifted it to crown her. As it blended into Uniana&#039;s dark cherry curls the blazestar halo began to fade away and her form was bathed in a muted crimson essence. Teveriel took in a deep, steading breath. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;The following is player-created lore based on a shared idea between the players of Elaejia, Daevian and Uniana. It has manifested into an event that teaches characters how to knit while providing supplies.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Socks for Soldiers or Socks for Solstice&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While there are some varying accounts on some of the specifics of this tradition there are some firm facts which we can trace back to a controversy during the reign of King Aradhuin. Under centuries of peace and relative prosperity, the Vaalorians ranks were fuller than ever and thanks to an effective campaign against Viscious Ether led by Master Legionnaire Obvellia Urnseth Vaalor, legionnaires we&#039;re enthusiastically renewing their contracts and staying much longer than their required hundred years. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Lady of the Exchequer at the time made the recommendations to reduce the spending of the army and one of the more hilarious controversies to arise was the removal of standard issue socks. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vaalorian Legion socks were produced much like the rest of the [[Crimson Legion]] uniforms, right here in the Vaalorian City-State. The government tenants large acreage to farmers in an effort to subsidize the wool for their own usage. The best wool and fleeces are harvested just at the beginning of summer and the farmers can sell them strictly for profit to artisan tailors whereas the rest of the supply is stored until winter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the winter months the wool is transported to a large processing facility under the Fortress. Cleaning wool can be a tedious process to ensure it doesn&#039;t become felted. It is boiled gently three times before being hung to dry.  The huge boiling vats are connected to a pipe system which helps to heat the Guardian Keep throughout the colder months. Another opportunity the Vaalorians have capitalized on to demonstrate their efficiency and ingenuity in supporting the largest force on Elanthia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Documents at the time state that the arguments against standard issue socks was that they were the most disposable part of the uniform. Marching soldiers could go through a handful of pairs within weeks. Moreso the socks, since they could not be seen, we&#039;re often a method of individual preference. The height, the desire to wear two pairs at once or to wear them until threadbare. In part of a larger reduction of costs decree, Sovereign Aradhuin signed into effect that socks would be the responsibility of the individual legionnaire to provide going forward but there was a small compensation in their pay to sign the adoption of this measure was not intended to create undue burden on the legionnaire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was that following Solstice that one High Legionnaire had their troupe begin the tradition. One rumor suggests that they were in the middle of a campaign, up near the Loenthran border chasing raiders who had anchored to get away from the tumultuous ocean. Everything was going wrong and the High Legionnaire would wryly joke, &amp;quot;at least we have an endlessly supply of fresh clean socks.&amp;quot;  When the soldiers wrote home they all asked for homemade socks and during the evening of Solstice presented them to the High Legionnaire to howls of amusement and it greatly succeeded in healing the morale. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The story swiftly spread throughout the Legion and the next year bandons far and near would receive socks from home, made with care and revel in garishness, the simplicity of the feel of new warm socks and the desire of those back home to eagerly offer comfort and joy during the darkest time of the year.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;I&#039;ve removed flare messaging that was outdated &amp;lt;del&amp;gt;either improperly collated or previously buggy -- all the ones first included on this page used &amp;quot;stampede&amp;quot; but that&#039;s not the default for these animal types&amp;lt;/del&amp;gt;.
