It has been sometime since I have been home. +I want to give thanks to Lieutenant Fisk and Gregor. +We will begin with our emissaries offerings before we move forward. + +The people are coming up giving cerimonial gifts. +Eldric Moonbrooke, sets down a large basket. +We see a large pile of refined oracalcum. +Chiseled into an octoganal shape. +They are further refined by the spellbinder society. +The spellbinder society remains at the service of Imperia. + +The Farlanders are up. +Brodan Freljord, and Xavary Lighttouch. +No one is applauding. +They walk up without gifts, and without guards. +Brodan speaks first, hesitates, sweat beading down his forehead. +He then fails to speak, and gestures Xavary to speak. +Xavary admits to his lack of offering. +He then offers words of wisdom in exchange. +The king claims knowledge is the best offering. +He is rather intrigued of what farlanders have to say. + +Rumors have spread to the seven relams of his intentions. +The farlands, have no intent of a quarrel with any of the countries outside of them. +From their perspective, it is a very confusing time. +He is claiming that the attacks were not theirs. +He assures that they have nothing to steal. +He wants the king to know this is not a plea for mercy. + +Some of the facts about the farlands are true. +Many of our lands are wartorn, diety have risen and fallen. +Enemies alike rising in the lands. +Our people are hardened and tired. +We aren't ready for another conflict. +Xavary has known the king for a time, and he sent him with a message. +It is probably unknown to everyone in the room, but the deathless occupy the island of Easten. + +> Easten is in the Alabaster sea. + +The meaning is that they have taken the island in just one day. +His gift to the king is, do not start a war with a nation that has only known it. + +The Emissaries of Crimea are up. + +Prince Shrad, walks up. No older than 26. +He says, your grace. You do me much honor to extend the invite. +Especially in our troubling times. +I do bear boons. Unlike the farlanders. +He places a pendant of Theos. +Said to belong to the deity herself. +Been in his family for 9 generations. +As well as a few kind words; +You must understand the position I am in being here. +But my mother the queen, she made it a point, +to avoid any sort of conflicts at any cost. +We need not a repeat of the bloodshed that happened 20 years ago. +We are beyond any of these simple quarrels, and any rumors of us working with the farlanders is false. +Our allegiance is to Tellius and the king. +The queen is willing to forego Crimea's next rotation of the crown. +If you can assure us that things will not turn out the way they did before. + +> The prince is visibly nervous while delivering this message. + +The king commends him for his bravery, and his plea. +Names him honorable, Gregor scoffs. + +The final emmisary, Ulquiorra Cypher. +He stands and looks at the king without kneeling. +Your highness, you do Valeria the honor of inviting us here today. +I wish for our relationship to stay fruitful. +Then walks away with no reaction from the King. + +The king then addresses the masses. +I wanted to thank everyone for coming. +Words escape him at the moment. +Farlanders you show courage and bravery as well, even with the harsh words. +Truely I thank you for coming. +Seeing is believing as they say. Young man, he looks at the Crimean prince. +For too long Daein, has lived in fear of the once dominant Crimea. +While Daein may hold power for now, historically Crimea has held the power. +Even when the crown changed they were economically ahead. +The three separate kingdoms don't need to be too separated, we are all under Tellius. + +The prince agrees that the separation is merely formality. + +Some decisions do not come easily. +I dont throw away declartions of war or accusations lightly. +May this moment be the death of the past. +He brings the Crimean boy in his arms. +Still addressing the crowd, no longer shall we live in fear. +No longer shall we fear eachothers colors. +From this day forward, we must act as one. +So I call to you emissaries, all who have come. +Observe as our fear, vanishes. +He then sinks the blade into the Crimean prince. + +The Crimean gurads are littered with crossbow bolts. +The royal guards take out their blades, and the prince rolls down the stairs gurgling his own blood. + +No longer shall Daein fear another. +If there is one thing I will do with my legacy, I will be the man to unite Tellius. +We have been in development of our own technologies. +Of our own means of protections. + +The king commands to lock up the Farlanders and to kill the others. +The deathless are fighting the royal guards. +Brodan and Xavary are tackled and bound by the guards. + +The prince takes his final breath. +We then see the soulpulled out as it is sucked into the weapon of the king. +Our army has been blessed with boons from other realms. +Our generals stand at our side. +There will be no more separation, from this day forward we are the kingdom of Tellius. +Any who deny that will suffer the consequences. + +General Ferrick, rise. +He walks to the king. + +Take your rightful place at my side. +Fisk would be happy to return to your command. +Your betallion awaits you, would you not shed blood, do what you were born to do. + +Ferrick tries to find the words. +I can't is all he mutters. +I can't be that man anymore. + +The king, takes a step forward. +Duskar told me of your intentions. +You were an honorable general, why would you make such decisions. + +Ferrick says; +Once you have walked as many battlefields as I have. +You see all the bodies, tens of thousands. +They begin to follow you. + +The king says: +Ask those men that lost their lives what their honor did for them. +Their silence is the answer. + +Ferricks time of warfare is behind him, he has a family. +He would be willing to serve, just not on the battlefields. + +You undestand the consequences of your actions do you not. + +Staring at his son, Ferrick says: that I do. +At that time Ferrick is arrested for treason against the king. +Ozen is instructed to arrest him. +She sits in her chair. For a moment does nothing. +Then says; Yes my king. + +They take him to Coldharbor. + +Duskar's eyes are bloodshot. Fixed on Ferrick. + +Let it be known that today we fear no longer. +This is the dawn of a new Tellius. +And whether it be farlander, crimea, or anything else, you are not above the law. +I thank you all for joining me tonight. +And look forward to our future discussions. + +He then walks back up the stairs. +The room dead silent. +Fisk then speaks up, thanking everyone for attending the return of the king. + +He is rather nervous, not knowing what to say. +As he has to deal with the crowd that just got all this dropped on them. + +## Episode 41: Embers + +We left our pets with Doug. + +Bit met with Nordrac Ironarm and Eldric Moonbrooke. +King is involved with the fateweaver as when he killed the Crimean, his soul was visibily transferred. + +Ozen called Bit on the stone ear. +We have much to talk about, time is short. We must meet tomorrow at 20:00 Tellius Eastern Timezone (TET). + +Bit and Camilla start traveling to the Mage's guild at 03:30 TET + +The group goes to the Bitterbrew guy, Blake to return the EbonEcho. They get 2k gold. + +He wants to give them some history. + +Captain Trusk Stillbane, he's no one that notable. +Locke has heard his father mention this figure before. +Worked under him like lietenant Fisk. +Trust was present during the battle of the burning keep. +There is a theory that the captain may have had an alliegance elsewhere. +Outside of Tellius. +His source has a connection to the Trusk. A Valerian captain. +He things the captain was given an order from an outside force. +Not sure what the outside force is but there is a name:Ulquiorra Cypher +There is no mention of the captain anywhere. +During this week period before Stillbane went missing. +He thinks he had a few personal run ins with the king. +Very buddy buddy with the king. Anecdotal evidence. +This is all to hopefully figure out what happened to Ferrick's eyes. + +A name is given, Espada. +It was mentioned once in an old text. +When Valeria was at its height, its golden age. +Before the Veil or Tellius was up. +The reason they came up with Espada, is because there was a correlation in their degrees of separation. + +There are few Bitterbrew Accord members left. +Only a single above Blake in rank. +Locke lets Blake know about their plan to end The Scale. + +Camilla and Bit hear a booming voice in their heads. +They passed the first challenge for the Mage's guild. +Now we are being tested on cooperation. +Many stations appear out of thin air. +We must understand that magic is not memorization, it is manifistation. +We must make a new spell. +Panel of judges will judge us. + +Rules: +The spell must have: +A concept: protection, vitality, murder, needs a name. +A material rep: Material objects, the council will choose one. +We need to work one into the spell: + +- Magic Bean +- Iron Chain +- Brass Tooth + +A verbal componenet: The incantation must be 2 lines long. A sentance by each player. Have to be said back to back. Need a rhyme scheme. +A jesture: Must describe the physical gesture to perform the spell. We cannot do the same gesture. + +Concept: Protection of the bean. +Material: Bean +Verbal: By the Bean, may protection be seen. +Jesture: Camilla upward motion, Bit plants the bean. + +Vote of 2-1 we were judged to stay in the guild. + +We are initiates of the guild within the city. + +>We get a scroll of the `protection of the bean`. +>It can be used as a reaction. +>Instantly destroyed when it takes damage. +>We can cast with spell slots up to level 9. +>For every level we cast, it increases the girth(radius) of the beanstalk by 1 square. +>Height goes up 10ft at lv 1. +>Gains 5ft every level after. +>At level 9 it goes 500ft in the sky. +> Spell slots are additive. (ie. Camilla casts at 3, and Bit casts at 5 = level 8) + +Varen walks over, to answer our questions. +The headmaster tells Camilla to set up a meeting with Varen. +Meet at the guild. +It's almost 16:00, been here 12 hours. +We both get access signets to the guild hall. +Master Rogar is a hardball. +If he is scared, be on your best behavior. + +They have magical enscribing work. +Slave labor for credit. + +For work we can talk to Magus Pesk. +He's a strange fellow, but he has a bright mind. + +> We have a meeting with Ozen at 20:00 + +Locke and Sebastion have a one on one conversation. +Sebastion asks for help with his issues. +He wants to not be a cat again. +His body is North.. +He gives Locke his name Nixengor. + +Neil is contacted by Elana Indigo. +She's back from her trip, she needs him to go to Stonemarsh. +She discovered a lot. +She will be in Dravenhold in a few hours.
