The little old lady behind the counter peers over her glasses at you. "You are trained in the art of healing then?" She pulls a very large old book from under the counter. Not waiting for a response, she opens it a flips to a half-filled page. "Name and homeland please." she asks with a quill in...

**oog: please do this in game at the next event. there's more to it then just writing a name in a book. Sorry this took so long.**

The little old lady finishes with the last person ahead of you. She writes something on a piece of paper, rolls it up and ties it, summons a page who takes it and runs out the door. Looking up, she peers at you over her glasses. "Yes?"

"At this time, Lord Marshal, you are my next choice. I believe you have the drive and discipline to see this through. We will worry about what happens after when we get there. It may be many years if we cannot bring the races together swiftly. Following that, Grand Duchess Victoria. I see you...

"Agreed. While Al'Zoon does seem to using some new ideas this time around, he also appears to be employing those that succeeded last time. He had all but won then, until we stepped in. This time, I want to stop him before he gains footing." She sips her juice. "We do need Az'Caine to return, I...

Angerona refills her glass, then sits again. "I have not been across the border in nearly 300 years, since the last time Al'zoon was defeated, but I can't imagine he will differ from his previous tactics, gathering all kinds of monstrosities to him. I have heard that some of his previous allies...

Angerona smiles. "Thank-you, that is a good answer." She sips her juice. "As for myself, of all the candidates, I alone have faced Al'Zoon. Some of my warriors began their own careers during the Time of Troubles. Before I ascended my throne, I watched as he slowly infiltrated all the realms and...

"Thank-you. Indeed the same questions have been asked of me. While this is my fourteenth grand council, this is the first occasion I have chosen to run. I too believe there is no greater threat to us all than Al'Zoon. I recognize that the culture of my people is unique, and usually misunderstood...

"That is a good start, and I think all the candidates can agree that is what we want, the question is, why would you be the best choice? What makes you believe you would be a better ruler than everyone else? Some of the heroes have expressed their concern that once Al'Zoon is defeated, you...

"I agree. However, it is the beginning of my day, so this is just fruit juice, but I will have something stronger brought up if you like. Some fine vintage of Wheatley's perhaps?" Angerona summons a servant and gives instructions. "Specifically, I would like to discuss the candidates for the...

"If that is your wish." The dark elf bows. "I will have some refreshments brought in while you wait." He disappears down the hall and through another door. After a few minutes, several human servants come through the same door bearing covered trays and pitchers. They split up and enter the two...

Angerona nods. “We are in agreement. There is no greater threat than Al’Zoon, and we must be united if we hope to defeat him. I would like to ask you further about this Lux Obscura, but I believe we have run out of time. Thank-you for coming at such short notice. It has been a pleasure, as always.”

Angerona smiles wryly. “No doubt.” She finally finishes her pastry. “There is quite the long list of names for the high crown this time. I must say I was surprised to see your name on it, along with a number of other human nobles with whom I am not familiar. As this is my fourteenth Grand...

Angerona nods. “Such is the way of youth, whether decades or a handful of years, the only way to maturity is experience. I wish you luck with him, you and Queen Ava; it appears you will need it.” She sips her tea. “As for the hunter, I will have him sent to your estate to work with your men...

“This sect is quite a problem. As open supporters of Al’Zoon, they need to be dealt with. Unfortunately, humans have lost memory of the villain, making your race easily swayed by his false promises. I have not forgotten his visceral evil. He has begun as he did in the past, trying to divide us...

Angerona raises a white eyebrow, “distressed is putting it very mildly.” She sets down her cup. “I cannot say I am surprised that the original event was cancelled. There were many indications that we were not supposed to be there.” She selects a white pastry. “My senator informed me the coward...

The empress enters the room, and proceeds to formally greet the Grand Duchess, “Your grace, thank-you for coming at such a late hour.” She then sits in the chair opposite. “Before we begin, I have ordered refreshments. They should arrive momentarily.” A dark elf woman with pierced ears enters...

Another scroll bound in dark purple ribbon sealed with bronze wax bearing a rose is delivered to Grand Duchess Victoria's residence.

Bowing, a page slowly approaches. "Excuse me, your majesty, your grace." He holds out a scroll tied with a dark purple ribbon bearing a bronze seal stamped with a rose. "This just arrived for you."

Emperess Angerona Naeina Masq’il’yr stormed out of the premises seething with anger, and somewhat relieved and surprised that she had been allowed to leave. Not that the so-called “host” could have stopped her. It had been a very long time since she felt so very insulted. A Death Elixir! Who...
