Az'Caine sits at his desk, paperwork still piled up like it always is. It never stops. He moves them around without much thought as his mind wanders for the day.
So much has transpired in the past few years. Hope, fear, joy and pain all seem to be a never ending tidal wave in the Realms. The Sect, or whatever they call themselves, seems to have been, for the moment, put down in the Capital. "Rats will always scurry back into their holes" he mused. The ArchMage has been around long enough to know that no matter how hard one tries, a small remnant of the past always lingers.
Now Al'Zoon seems to be mustering his forces. The lands of the Dark Reaches have stirred. Cracks are forming in the armour that surrounds those lands and things seem to be slipping through. "Hopefully Sarryn and his band will be able to survey the lands and get a feel for what we are facing so we can better prepare all." he says absently to no one in particular.
He looks to the reports on his desk from the Home Guard. The Duchess is alive and well, her would be enslaver locked in a cell within the Arcane Sanctum under careful watch of the Home Guard and Marshal Farr'Shen's War Mages. "We will get to the bottom of these assassination attempts." he quips.
Then there is the disturbing report from the Home Guard about the death of a Noble family. A minor house, but noble none the less. That will have to be investigated to its exhausting conclusion.
Reports from the Breach, that the Kara Vale gnolls are becoming more active is disturbing. That will have to be dealt with immediately. Magi Kurak has been working all winter on those portals the Breachers were able to open last fall. Hopefully, with some skill and luck, they have not been discovered by Kara Vale and can still be used to assault her lands. It's always difficult to send good people into a land where they may not return from, but the price of freedom has always been high and it's usually paid in blood.
The report from the Breach about the overcrowded cells in the brig are slightly perplexing. Many prisoners awaiting a trip to Calanhelm for various crimes. Now that the refugees and the Sect have been dealt with, there should be no problems in transporting them here. The Colonel will deal with them and Lt. Hamish will be given orders to that effect as well.
Az'Caine looks to the Treaty of the Uruzaries, now more a rag than a prominent paper. The Sultana will have to be dealt with. Her resources, her Uruzaries, are something the lands cannot afford to lose. Between her, the Dark Elf Empress and the Rocholm Elves and Dwarves there will be many trips through the portals over the next several months.
Az'Caine rubs his temples once again, relieving the tension and trying to refocus on the piles of paperwork upon his desk.
