[QUOTE="ShaggySpellsword, post: 5001745, member: 17626"] The door to the council chamber opens and a middle-aged man in robes comes out. He smiles at the prince and says, [color=blue]“Prince Oargev, are all of your men here and ready? Ah, yes, good. The council will see you all now.”[/color] The scribe walks back into the room and beckons for you all to follow. Inside, you find a long table with seven chairs around it. In the center is Queen Dannel, sitting in an ornate chair. In the other six chairs sit an assortment of advisors. All of the chairs are on one side of the table, leaving the other side for you to stand before the council. As the six of you array in front of the council, you notice Queen Dannel’s face flicker a smile of pride as she looks on her son, but immediately her royal mask falls back into place. She directs her attention to her son. [color=deepskyblue]“My son, when I was your age, this country demanded that I lead them through war. It was something of a struggle to unite our nation in order to continue the fight, but I was equal to the task. The nobles of this nation did not know me or what I was capable of.
