The sounds of poorly-muffled bustling roused Elaejia from her sleep. She resisted opening her eyes, but listened carefully, identifying Wilver's familiar gait and the rustling of fabrics as he gathered some variety of clothing - her clothing - and then tiptoed out, pulling the door behind him. The scent of brewing coffee wafted into the room. Frowning now because she could perceive no hint of light in the room through her closed eyelids, she finally relented and opened her eyes. |

Concern flooded her as the events of the Farewell Ball over a week prior drifted through her thoughts. She had written to respond to Guard Captain Aertinus promptly after being informed that she and Aendir were to be interviewed, but had not yet had a reply.

In the interim, a flurry of other correspondence had distracted her, and she'd occupied her time thinking about recent events in a more abstract way. |

Then only a few short days later, Lady Laeraun-Ranshai's letter arrived with tidings of the attack on Lady Javillere, her subsequent disappearance, and an inquiry into the possible nature of a poison used on her and her guardian. Unfortunately, there was precious little information available then or apparently now as to the details of this agent, and while Elaejia had attempted to reply with some insights, she was far from certain that any of her proposals would bear fruit. |

!flyrsilk* |
|||
|* |
|||
|The word, "flyr" is an Aelotian word meaning, "flower," which is characteristic of the fabric's patterning. The silk is exceptionally soft, completely opaque, and possesses a very subtle nacreous luster. Material design varies widely between artisans, with floral motifs being the most intricate and time-consuming to weave. Aelotian artisans carefully guard their precise weaving techniques, but rumors circulate that the key to the high quality of their fabrics lies in the design of their uniquely styled fel looms. Flyrsilk is also produced in foliage-inspired patterns, such as branches, thorns, and leaves, which is often preferred by males, though it is frequently worn by both genders. Patternless varieties are usually a single color and are faintly textured with an understated latticed finish. |

Ardtin says, "We will begin with lady Elaejia and Lord Aendir, if you will turn your ear their way." |
|||
You incline your head. |
|||
Aendir smiles. |
|||
Orelwen glances between Aendir and yourself. |
|||
You set about preparing yourself to be as presentable as possible. |
|||
Speaking to you, Aendir asks, "Perhaps explain why we are presenting this, dear Cousin?" |
|||
You nod at Aendir. |
|||
You pleasantly begin, "My dear cousin," she pauses, glancing at Aendir, "Obliges me on occasion by spending an afternoon perusing the shelves at the Library Aeis looking for horticultural books." |
|||
You say, "Having come from Loenthran lands, the flora's preferred climes here occasionally escape me." |
|||
You lightly continue, "Recently though, our attention was diverted by a section of new historical research, because he noticed it made mention of a former Loenthran queen." |
|||
You smile at Aendir. |
|||
Aendir grins. |
|||
You say, "We were quite astonished at what we found, and I do hope that you all will be as intrigued as we were." |
|||
Rohese smiles. |
|||
Aendir nods in agreement. |
|||
Ysaeril turns an inquisitive ear toward you. |
|||
Orelwen nods understandingly. |
|||
Speaking curiously to Aendir, you ask, "Would you like to present the introduction?" |
|||
Aendir nods to you. |
|||
Ardtin walks over to the bench and settles down. |
|||
Aendir removes a sheet of creamy vellum from in his dark kidskin bag. |
|||
Ardtin grunts. |
|||
Aendir recites: |
|||
"Preface to a sampled selection from the personal papers of Cafainiel Illistim, Argent Mirror between 21,067 and 23,788 Illistim." |
|||
Aendir says, "These correspondences between former Argent Mirror Cafainiel Illistim and Queen Siskania Loenthra were written shortly after the reign of Cafainiel began. The documents were discovered during a recent audit of the papers of the Council of Thrones." |
|||
Aendir says, "The supposed friction between these two leaders has long been a topic of speculation, but more specific details had been obscured until now." |
|||
You smile at Ardtin. |
|||
Ardtin grumbles. |
|||
Aendir says, "What had been known prior to the discovery of these records was only that Queen Siskania inquired with the Argent Mirror about recompense for fostering some distant Illistimi relations, and that the conversation was heated enough to lead to the eventual establishment of the Council of Thrones." |
|||
Ardtin says, "Always." |
|||
Aendir says, "This exchange between two rulers shines new light on the relationship between these two noble Houses at the time. Unfortunately for the modern historian, the correspondence ends quite suddenly after the final missive presented below." |
|||
Aendir says, "Whether what was discovered is the full account of this exchange is unknown, but the dates coincide roughly with entries in Illistimi treasury records indicating a substantial sum being transferred to Ta Loenthra shortly after the final epistle, earmarked in trust for the famed Dawn Sea Skalds." |
|||
You interject, "A famed troupe from Loenthra, a favorite of Siskania." |
|||
Aendir says, "According to tradition at the time, the correspondence is written in the poetic form known as Rhyme Royal, and each head of state would have taken considerable time crafting her response to fit the strict structure while capturing the full meaning of her intent." |
|||
Aendir nods in agreement to you. |
|||
Ysaeril whispers something to Elysia. |
|||
Aendir says, "The correspondence begins with a letter from Cafainiel Illistim to Siskania Loenthra, and alternates thereafter between the two, ending with the last known response from Siskania to Cafainiel." |
|||
Elysia nods in agreement at Ysaeril. |
|||
Aendir says, "- Compiled by Hiraani Gael Illistim, Scholar of House Illistim - 22 Oleasta in the year 5119." |
|||
Aendir clears his throat. |
|||
Cryheart nods. |
|||
Aendir tilts his head slightly, turning his attention to you. He regards you in a measured fashion, collecting his thoughts. |
|||
Speaking to you, Aendir asks, "Shall we begin?" |
|||
Aendir says, "Here we have the Mirror speaking first." |
|||
You recite: |
|||
"Our dearest Queen Siskania, bright as garnet, |
|||
With crown of poesy, song and amethyst soul's shell, |
|||
On even dull days, your light shines incarnate." |
|||
You recite: |
|||
"The work of weaving suits your soft hands not well, |
|||
And whispers sly and cruel bring slight burnish, belle." |
|||
Ysaeril gives a short little hum of surprise. |
|||
You recite: |
|||
"We await assured upon sincere regrets |
|||
Tendered hither from thy coronet." |
|||
Aendir smiles. |
|||
Aendir recites: |
|||
"Beloved Reflection, we bid you good word |
|||
Of faith and cheer, your grace ever in view. |
|||
We trust our Winter's thaw hath not been interred." |
|||
Aendir recites: |
|||
"With confidence you ought not misconstrue |
|||
Our clear intent ne'er meant to be untrue." |
|||
Aendir recites: |
|||
"For as the Peacock rests ever aground, |
|||
The Harpsong riseth clear and pure in sound." |
|||
Avawren laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement. |
|||
Rohese quietly comments, "Oh my!" |
|||
You recite: |
|||
"Aground you say but fail to understand, |
|||
The peacock's plume looms brighter than a song." |
|||
You recite: |
|||
"Heard and lost with flowing time's quick sand, |
|||
While beauty beheld reigns the heart lifelong." |
|||
Taraquin laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement. |
|||
You recite: |
|||
"Fleeting too, the wind of speech headstrong |
|||
Storms squall'd, beating in vain a marble palace, |
|||
Borne with poise, the ill tuned harp's poor coarseness." |
|||
You smirk at Aendir. |
|||
Aendir mutters under his breath. |
|||
Rohese wrinkles her nose. |
|||
Aendir recites: |
|||
"Feather and scroll do not withstand harsh time |
|||
Iv'ry tower, silvered glass doth shatter." |
|||
Ysaeril clasps her hand over her mouth. |
|||
Rohese giggles to herself. |
|||
Aendir recites: |
|||
"Where word and song doth echo like strong twine |
|||
And persist through an age, on shameful matter." |
|||
Taraquin chuckles to himself. |
|||
Aendir recites: |

"I was a medic on a ship based out of Loenthra with Yanias a few decades ago. They came to us with immersion foot. I had never heard of anything like it outside of marching armies and even then only in the worst of conditions - walking for days upon days. We were out at sea and conditions were clear.
