We worship the Perfect as the High Lord of all, and we venerate the heroes of the Empire as saints and martyrs. In times of peace, our clerics heal the sick, shelter the poor, and do what we can to ease the hardships of daily life. In times of war, our warpriests join the ranks of imperial soldiers, as healers, advisors, and sometimes as generals.""I offer no defense, and I suspect that this will weigh heavily on my soul when my judgment comes, but that is the choice I have made.""The interior of the tower cannot be scryed from the outside - this I know from personal experience. Nor could it be scryed from one level to another. As for planar travel... our diviners have not been able to locate the demiplanes of the tower, and not for lack of trying. With no idea where they are in the multiverse, it would be impossible to Gate inside.""The tower draws its power from the very land it stands upon. Dispelling and the like cannot affect it. It may be possible to dispel individual wards inside, but even those will regenerate quickly.""Key amulets should not to be too difficult to find, for the lower levels at least. Many of his generals and advisors, and even some of the tower's servants and guards carry them, and they mostly live outside the tower. Keys for the upper levels are rarer, though, and Sarim has the only key to the uppermost level in his signet ring.""If you are to try this, you will need to obtain Identity Rings. Those rings are attached to their wearers by magic and turn into dust if forcibly removed. Anyone entering the tower without them will alert all its guards.""There are rumors that the King likes to, as they say, sow his wild oats. If this is so, then he must have been very discreet, for we do not know who his mistresses may be. But that is a lead you can follow up on.""Alternatively, you could try the mage-foundries, the Arcane Order guildhouse, or the barracks. He inspects them periodically. He is always heavily defended in those occasions, however."*Cann"Nobody? Strangely enough, that is true. For someone so skilled in the deadly arts, you have not the reputation to match, and nor does your companions. Perhaps you would care to divulge your origins? In any case, you and your companions are not of Empire or Church, nor do you appear to be agents of the Wyrmslayer. For now, that is enough.""The Empire has exhausted its might. The Legion is nowhere to be seen. Yet Naramyr has overextended his forces and will ultimately fail. For a man with ambition and the power to match, opportunity beckons. What I want from you, and from your companions should you be able to convince them, is loyalty.""Serve me, and you shall have whatever you desire, so long as it is within my power. Serve me, and whatever I gain in the war to come, you will be guaranteed a share. If you are ever offered a better deal, come to me, and I will double it.""And when I sit upon the crystal throne, you will have your own kingdom to rule or ruin as you see fit."</blockquote>
