On to business then.  If you haven't guessed yet, I'm Taern Hornblade, High Mage of Silverymoon and the reason you have come here.  I'm sure you all are very eager to hear why I have summoned you here, so I'll not mince words about it.  The north needs help.  Specifically, we need to recover our ties with Citadel Adbar if we wish to maintain stability and safety in the Silver Marches.  This will be no easy task though, which is why I've searched to find uniquely capable individuals such as yourselves to help."Turning to Corund he says,I know you may not be overly concerned with the bureaucratic politics of this city and old crumbs like myself who engage in them, but I also know that you love Silverymoon dearly.  The task I have in mind could be aided well by your ability to, shall we say, 'project reality'.  I'm sure you find such an ability to be useful in many regards, and it will be no less so for the task I have in mind."Changing his focus to Cassandra, he continues, "My understanding is that you are quite new to the city of Silverymoon, so let me offer you an official welcome to our fine city.  I've spoken to a few people in Waterdeep who informed me of your skills and news of your recent help in Sundabar has also reached my ears.  I've solicited your help on the hope that you will support the confederation simple because of the beliefs it supports.  Here in the north we are engaged in a project trying to create a place where all different races can live together in a free society without fear.  We've done much to work toward this goal, but our cause is struggling at this time and it is my hope that you would dedicate yourself to helping our cause."Lastly, he turns to Jonas. "And you Jonas Visage, you do still use that name sometimes I presume?...you have helped Silverymoon before and I hope you will be willing to do so again.  Your skills at as an informant helped Alustriel several times and in this time such skills are as important as ever."The old mage visibly saddens at the mention of Alustriel, but quickly recovers as he turns his attention to the group."I can tell you more about what I need, but before that I like to know how you feel about this so far.  No need selling you a never going to drink after all." The mage finally takes a seat as he patiently waits for those gathered in the room to respond.</blockquote>
