OOC: Ha ha ha! Actually I'm Australian, living over here on a working holiday. Nothing says "not fantasy" like an Australian accent, even less so than American ;] BTW Yes, Teymour is great. Do you want to make it so he's been with you the whole time up til now, just hiding in your sleeve or something?
Correus raises his hands, palms outwards in a consolitary gesture. "Patience, patience, my friend! I will allow m'lady to speak for herself..." He gestures towards the curtained corner of the room, from whence a chill wind suddenly eminates. The candles around the room flicker for a moment, then go still again as a ghostly, ethereal form coalesces out of the air in front of you, seated beside Correus. It is the figure of a young woman. She seems to share some facial similarities with Correus, but she clearly has some fairy stock in her as evidenced by her sweeping ears. You find it difficult to focus on her features too closely, her image seems to flicker and intermitently fade in and out. When she speaks, after giving you a moment to get your breath, her voice comes to your ears as though from afar, with a faint echo and delay...
"So, young Seeker! Or should I say, not so young? I forget the meanings of some of your mortal words. Let me see, a sceptic, but strong of conviction... You are indeed a strange candidate for a holy man! I can see why Correus and Sul like you. So you wish to know about the sacred artifacts of the Lacerdan Throne? Very well. There is much we do no understand about them, as we have none to study, and few history books make mention of them. What we do know is that they are not mere symbols of rule. No, rather they are magical objects designed to make rulership of such a magic-infused land as Lacerda possible. We believe their primary nature is related to the control of time... As for why Prince Darukan would choose not to keep these artifacts where he could control them, we simply do not know. I have speculated much on the matter and have arrived at two possible conclusions. That he is unable to use them is a foregone conclusion. He must either fear these creations, and be unable to destroy them, or ...their mere presence weakens him in some way... Either way, what he fears or is weakened by must be possessed by us, his enemies. Does that satisfy your curiosity, young Crusader? Have you more questions?"
She smiles indulgently, awaiting your response.
