[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8509177, member: 7030144"] Session 37 (January 9, 2022) 1 Ke-Ras The army/spice caravan begins its long march north. Encounters rolled by ten-day-long week. Nonetheless, they had no encounters on the entire trip north. On the 14th of Vaen, the caravan arrives in Canberry City. They have marched through the winter and into the early spring, spending most of the deepest winter marching in the subtropical areas of the Spice Lands. They are now heading into the campaign season, when armies can move and fight more effectively even in the north. There is a bustle going on in the City. There appears to be a large contingent of the Ecumenical Council present. The Inquisitor General of Northern Drucien is there representing Paranswarm, many Glor’diadelian clergy, etc. Much to Ravokris and Elyn’s disappointment, there is no representative of Whimsey. There is an emaciated man wearing a red amulet, who is given a wide berth, so might be associated with Whimsey—Ravokris thinks he might be associated with the Mad God. Noah meets with the Inquisitor General and reports. The Inquisitor General tells him that there will be a push shortly, with some support from other Paranswarmian nations and in conjunction with the plans of the Archduke of Canberry’s cabinet. He also informs them that in the time they have been abroad, the Archduke of Canberry has begun styling himself as Emperor of Southern Drucien. Noah declares 3 rules for the war council to come: 1. No blurting out. 2. Show respect. 3. If you have a crazier idea than normal, run it by Noah or Sr. Agnes first. Iados decides to fly patrols over the war council. Meanwhile, Elyn and Ravokris say that they’ll be ready to attack as soon as they’re told to do so. Who or what they expect to need to attack at the war council remains unclear. A crystal voller settles in from above, and a number of figures descend on flitters. One is the Princess Curinirim, and another is the Proconsul of the Enclave of Zorplona-Moriquendarim, representing the Noldar and the other elves of Morgroth. There are representatives of two groups of elves that are kept carefully separated, because the delegation of Eldar from the Forest of Singing Leaves and the Noldar might descend into the blood madness if they spoke directly at all—and even a third group from the Crystal Cities that can, marginally, talk to either of the other two groups. The Empress of Hanal, as she is now being styled, greets na-Strom Noah and thanks him for his efforts. She exchanges pleasantries with the Emperor of Southern Drucien. She tells the war council that the capital of Hanal has been fully slaughtered, offered as a sacrifice to the eldritch. They will likely need to establish a new capital. Also, while two of the Eldritch are expected to be excluded altogether by an artifact, the third—the One Other—is now entirely within these planes, in the guise of Arthranax. He came in by stealth at the same time Gunnora, Sytry, and their followers arrived. But the followers of the other two of the Eldritch continue to plot and struggle. Taking Hanal back will cut off the snake at the head. First, they discuss the current state of the war in Hanal. The troops of the Inquisition are bogged down in the East; they hold the east of Hanal, but they cannot advance. The death flight of the High Lady from Aufaulgautharim destroyed about two field armies of the enemy. The Archbarony of Ecsilias struck at a weak kovate in the south, and has retaken it. The Inquisitor General says, “We can gate your force forward, with a war voller of the Noldar on the left flank and of the Eldar on the right flank. They must of course never meet, because while their lords can control themselves in the presence of each other as long as they do not interact, the bloodmadness could easily take their followers and drive them into disastrous conflict if they even approached each other. The Archbarony of Ecsilias will commit an additional field army—another 5,000 troops to augment your 2,000, with the guarantee of safety of the Archbarony itself from Canberry. We can also provide some chivalry—400 Lyans of Paranswarm and 450 Knights of Valor from our comrades in the Light.” [cont'd] [/QUOTE]
