[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8289716, member: 7030144"] [Session 47 cont'd] Dame Brionna receives a magnificently garbed man from one of the merchant vessels from Khamista. He comes from Tarsh. He is a young man, dressed in an elaborate cape of leather woven with feathers, over armor. He is Paranswarmian but not evil. He has arms: the imperial seal of Tarsh, above a diagonal line and then a contrived coat of arms, made out of someone’s favorite animals. That says that he is a direct vassal of the King-Emperor, although probably without a drop of noble blood. “My lord.” “Dame Brionna of Stanway. I have not had the pleasure of meeting you, although I have dealt some with your compatriot, Dame Katherine of Lyneham.” “You may speak freely here.” “The principal behind the theft was the former King Willispur. This must reach no one. He survived the palace coup. He bathed the Empire in blood. He has possession of both artifacts, and is connected to the conspirators in the South. "I am Sir Gustav Alderheimer, Captain of the Raven." Dame Brionna notes to herself that Captain of the Raven is not a traditional Tarsh title. "What further information can we offer you?" "We ask that you send an embassy with some of your best people to recover these things. Jazeel has asked me to personally see to things as best as I can." Sir Gustav is clearly not well-trained in etiquette. "It is difficult at best to placate them. It would be best to keep as low a profile as possible. The corruption that Willispur spread before he was deposed by the people who put Jazeel in power indicate that he should never be allowed in power again anywhere, and he also has made deals with forces that are not at all approved by the Temple." "We will send you a team of our best and brightest to assist you in this quest." "I am commissioned by his majesty to thank you and to offer our assistance in recovering these artifacts." "Should we inform his majesty’s heir?" "The heir will be safe here; it is better that he not know until it can be dealt with." "Do you plan to stay long in Canberry?" "I had to travel by commercial vessel to conceal my trip here. But I feel like I have failed my lord by allowing my theft. He made me captain of his guard." "How old is the King-Emperor?" "He is 18." (Dame Brionna splutters a little, but talks about the Archduke having shown great leadership at a young age) [End session 47] [/QUOTE]
