Perhaps they can give us some enlightening information on the matter. I trust they’ll do their job well. For the moment, we can only continue our work.”Hachiman turned back to the stricken drow in his care, and the others resumed their duties.*          *          *          *          *Gul’thor sat around a table with the Zindian Counsel as they discussed matters at hand. Things were becoming hectic, and they needed to take their neighbours into consideration to determine who would be threatening. Emperor Noru sat in on the assembly, should he be able to help with any questions.“As it stands our remoteness from the Flaeness and non-inclusion in the TEC pact has allowed us to keep our distance from the rising chaos, but we still have an obligation to assist those in need. At this time, that would appear to be the elven refugees in our care, and the drow who have fell ill in recent times. Nippon shares our stance in assisting them,” the counsel elder, a greying vanaaran dictated, “Since the matter of the refugees is already being attended to we must bring our attention upon our neighbours.“First, the Celestial Empire. Since their time of civil conflict we have heard nothing from them, this likely arises from a lack of central leadership. I suspect there are many separate factions vying for control of that country, internal and possibly even external, so we must pay the place special heed lest they be unified under a potentially hostile leadership. Humanitarian aid would be rendered futile while a country bickers internally, it is likely best we sit it out until we can do something or react.“As usual, the Sea of Dust presents itself as a potential barrier between us and anyone with hostile intent in the Flaeness.“The Baklunish Empire is now unified under Al’Akbar, any threat that they might have posed in the past, if any, has now been removed. They can be considered to share common goals and interests, as shown in previous interactions.“Any suggested courses of action?”Gul’thor answered.*          *          *          *          *Galeda and Zennef stood nearby, out of sight, witnessing Eclavdra’s mental breakdown and capture.“She’s pretty desperate,” Galeda said.“Stressful situation,” Zennef answered.“No point in helping, there’s already enough being done, and we have our own business to resume,” Galeda reasoned.“You’re right, too many guardinals spoil the hunt,” Zennef quipped, “We’d best be off before we make matters worse.”They left.*          *          *          *          *Hachiman (being Chaotic Good) hears the prayers of elves (and others) who would seek his aid in their time of need, but is hesitant in granting spellcasting ability with the limit of positive and negative energy on Oerth. He restricts granting spells to only clerics of his faith, and other clerics who lack spellcasting, have sought him out specifically and are within one step of his alignment.</blockquote>
