However, I think this is where we start: we return to the Arena, The Congress of Savagery. Chanvati and Pa'avu wish to see and confirm for themselves the degree and form to which the unrest among the Legion of Ruth as reported by Rietka exists. We think there is an essential argument to be made linking the incongruity of the military-minded Bladelings as urban occupiers being against their very nature and the Empress as captive being against hers. There may be some further details to this end discernible only through direct observation/interaction.Then, we expect to leverage Bita-Bahlin (last seen as emcee of the execution)--his life spared by us, his freedom taken into our captivity but set free (again, it is incompatible with his nature not to be an autonomous actor pulling political strings) to enjoy his present function as ambassador between the Legion and the Empress's court--into effecting Pa'avu's placement in direct service to the Empress, where she can work to empower the girl to realize her own strength and act upon it. Though we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves here, we're imagining a process whereby Chanvati (perhaps via psionic link: Send Thoughts Psion feature, Sending Ritual, and so on) can contribute in some way mechanically to such an obstacle. (Yes, we recognize the irony of Pa'avu relying upon another in a mission of empowering self-emancipation: we have layers of contradiction here!)</blockquote>
