[QUOTE="Rkhet, post: 2578624, member: 31318"] "You... you seek audience with the Triune? Then I would advise you to be more respectful of them. They are gods and should be treated as such, no matter how much power you think you have. Finding them is easier than you think, for they walk amongst us; but they are busy, and you cannot expect them to see you for no reason." "Go west, into the jungle - our settlement should be easily found; it is not hidden by illusions as it once was. Ask the priests at our temple. Perhaps they will deem you worthy." The king appears thoughtful for a moment, then shakes his head. "I cannot claim expertise in matters of magic. I'm certain that there is nothing I know that you would not. Ask at the Guild. Perhaps they can give you a more satisfactory answer." "The Church... truthfully, I would love to see them gone. But it is not so simple. It is an open secret that the Church is a way for the Emperor to keep an eye on his vassals. If I were to move against the Church, it would be considered a rebellion, and bring down the full wrath of the empire. Even if they were greatly harmed through no fault of my own, I would be suspect." "Nor is the Church an easy mark. The Oracle is powerful, and I am told that they have the protection of the Legion - though this has never been proven. Not to mention that the city is full of its faithful, making things... delicate." "I have told you that I intend to strike back at the Empire when it is most vulnerable, but this is not yet time. When I am ready to do so, the Church shall be the first to fall." "In the mean time, there will be opportunities aplenty for you to exercise your power." "Certainly, my lady. In these troubled times one could never have too many allies. You have heard my offer from Cann, yes? But I understand that some things are not for everyone. So what is it that you want? What is it that you would consider worthy of your services?" [/QUOTE]
