I shall remain and help as I can.  I have traveled through time and have seen what will happen if I do not interveen. The traditions will die, and the sundered lure of power will win. we will become an evil race. I cannot allow that. I am afraid that I have been away too long and the poeple will not accept me. If that is the case, we are lost. I shall return with you to our home in exile tonight. Now I need to prepare for the future of these negotiations."Queen Elyspir T'mamir"Your highness. I shall remain with my family in an effort to advise and guide us. My sister has told me of a little of the problem you face, and perhaps I can be of better use here.It is bold of me to ask, but I must. I ask that I perhaps be allowed official status as an advisor as well. There would be several benefits for our people: - it would allow me to advise you of matters outside the elven lands,- it would allow me to be emmisary to those who may be able to help us,- it would allow me to help with the expiditions to the north homelands, as well as - it would give me credibility with the other families. Especially the ones looking into other ancient lore that will cause the destruction of our people.Think on this - I will not be offended if you refuse this request. Come with me as I give my farewell, but please do not speak.Perhaps open some new options to give you hope."Randall and the queen walk over to the delegation, where they are awaiting him...Epaphros and Elmer - somewhat privately: "Friends, I am not sure what has happened to my people, but something is amiss. Epaphros, you were correct there. I have been offered several possibilities among my people, and I believe I would serve all Rhiannon better if I stayed.I realize that the patriarch can not offer the first hand to the elves, especially when we can not bend to any of your requests. But perhaps, in my opening Alderweg as a stepping stone to the north, the church can help one of its own.There might be a large problem - quite soon - in the town of Alderweg. A large group of people might land on our doorstep. As a Master of Alderweg, and perhaps an Earl of the kingdom, I need to ask for some help. Especially because we shall never be unkind to any people needing our help and we need to be prepared for such an event. We will not be able to feed all those people. The church loving people there might starve, in fact, if the church does not help with food. We will need seed grain to plant in our fields, to have enough to share. I shall pay for this, if the church can offset some of the cost.But those people needing food do not want to stay there. In fact Alderweg may need some muscle to help carry the burdens of that large group of people over the mountains. They might be necessary to help keep peace as well. Perhaps the church would be amiable to setting up a small barracks of able-bodied men for year near Alderweg, and another on the slopes just north of the Holy Tree of Bastion Pass. In fact, to begin, the path through the pass should be cleared, and a road to Alderweg established.And, when these people have moved through, Alderweg would have many fields planted and ample food. We might be able to supply grain and food to the barracks the future. Thus the church ends up with a sustainable post of men at the pass.If, as you may fear that these people might be dangerous in the future, it would be better for the church to have these people north of the mountains. And helping them get what they want might just open talks for future negotiations. My people have long memories - we do not think in years, but decades. Have patience.So, go back and give your report, but also ask this the Patriarch...Can you help Alderweg feed a large group of transient people as they move through? And,Can you help Alderweg by offering some labor for a year to help with a massive moving of personal goods through our neighborhood and through the mountain pass?"[talk]"Your highness, these men are afraid for their safety. Can you assure them of safe passage?"[talk]"Farewell and blessings on your journey."</blockquote>
