If our people are bitter and lost, you are the honey that sweetens the bread. I had hoped we could spend some time tgether, that these discussions would have been fruitful. Alas they were not. But, I will not be kept here - I will travel. And, I will visit you as often as I can, if you would permit me to." Elmer-"Fear not and fare well"[Randall lets the party go off. As they go, he thinks to himself:It is with a troubled heart that I stay. There is much danger here, I can trust no one. Perhaps I was safer with Delsarrian, because here I wishes to trust my people. Gaithys Galanodel and the Queen, can I trust them? With the dark elves working in Antioch, it would be in Gaithys' power to make their entrance and exit possible. And in these discussions: the Queen and Gaithys would not hear of any outside influence, except grain and money. The church was not asking for much in return. Less, in fact than they offered for the past hundred years. Perhaps she and Gaithys set this up to close the door of friendly neighbors with her lost people.Accepting the queen's offer would get me out of the way, and perhaps alone with assassins - bad idea. ]"Your highness, how can I lead our people north, when I am unsure if our people are deserving to go to the place I called home. I intend to restore our homeland - the yearning in me is powerful. But the restoration of the homeland can only be done by restored elves.If our people are still good, and can be restored to wholeness and goodness like we once were, I will gladly lead our family northward home. I will, if I can, even provide the funds and grain myself.Meaning no disrespect, but our people are lost and broken. In a week, I have come to feel that not only have we lost the old traditions, but we are also heading toward what we reviled most. We have been peaceful - fierce, but peaceful - for four thousand years. We were a proud people of art, mystery, music, and life. Oh how we lived, with joy. So how, in four hundred years, have we grown weak, impotent, sad, and downcast.You, as queen, should be leading the restration of our people to life! Where is your heart? Where are you taking our people? I believe you are courting disaster in allowing, even promoting, the dark and fearsome ways of the lost tribe. In not giving the church their location, you have chosen the way of the sundered. Is that what you intended?How can I but wonder, are you one of those communicating with the Melekevar?Again I mean no disrespect. But if you are, I must leave now.</blockquote>
