The ArchMage ponders her question for a minute. "Yes. There are several Magi that are understandably interested in the Lux. It still holds many mysteries that we have to unravel. Currently, Magi Rhialto of the Calanhelm Penta deserves the opportunity to head the excursion. This of course leaves promotions available within Calanhelm, which again, there are several Magi wanting those positions." the ArchMage sighs, knowing how much more work that the Lux will be causing within months. "As well, Lady Zanthia will be sending a host of the Earth Weavers along as well as the Home Guard will be stationed there to provide support and protection. I would also assume a Grand Smith of the Hammer Outfitters will be attending along with a Forge of his peers." the Archmage states, more to himself than to the Countess.
"Obviously, with the members that have already spoken to, or have a rapport with, the Guardians will want to arrange time there. The place is large enough that it should be able to handle more people. Logistically, we need to keep the tide of people in check until we can ensure a sustainable source of water and food. The sewage is another concern as you are well aware from Rookroost. These things take time to set up, or repair, and currently we are facing a more imminent threat in Al'Zoon." the ArchMage pauses, grabs a quill and parchment and begins to write down more notes. He then continues "And we cannot lose sight of the threat of Culdranth. Even with Aithusa lending aide in protection, he is still a dire foe and if decides to attack the Lux, there will be little in the options we have to face him. Hopefully Sarryn is not too preoccupied with personal issues and can focus on the tasks in the Dark Reaches." the ArchMage says as he look at the Countess' bare left hand.
"If we can free some of the Elders from their lands, we will have a much easier time with Culrdanth, but we do not know what freeing them will entail. I'm certain it will not be an easy process. If you wish to join the Sanctum members in researching the Lux, you may do so, but your title of Countess will mean little while there. Your rank of Adeptus is how you will be treated as with the others going along. We cannot have anyone trying to curry extra favours when so much is unknown and the risks may well exceed the rewards." the ArchMage states, looking to see the reaction from the Countess.
