The knight smiles and says: "Laurebac will suffice. We do not require titles and protocol outside of formal occasions. Please sit down and join me." She pours some watered wine from a jug into two cups and sips from one.
"I was afraid that my plea had gone unheard at the council. So many were concerned with military matters and the bold entrance by the Elves of Shahalesti did little to help bring attention back to the religious strife facing the refugees who huddle outside of Seaquen." She takes another sip from her cup.
"I would greatly appreciate any assistance you and your friends from Gate Pass can provide. At this time, there are no fewer than eight different religious factions spread out amongst the refugees. Each is vehement that they should be able to construct a place of worship to their gods. Yet, each is also vehement that it should be only their gods represented in only one temple. As you can see, this is quite the predicament given that as the squabble grows, so does unrest between the camps. Sooner, rather than later I fear, the groups may begin coming to blows."
"My proposal, which thus far each group has waved off, is to construct a single pantheistic temple representing all of their gods. It is only in this way that we can ensure a unified people here in Seaquen. You and your friends seemed a diverse bunch: humans, dwarves, elves and your talents seemed to span the blade, the lute and the spell book. I am hoping that your broad range of heritages and skills can assist in convincing these zealots that banding together is wiser than fighting. What say you?"
