[HQ Ignorance] Scene 24: Leaving Railos

[Lev Lafayette]

Within Syran, the city of the Glassmakers, Lady
Erengazor, Duchess of Tortun, High Princess of Low
Delight, Overlord of Senatos appealed to The
Fellowship and sought their mercenary involvement in
the dismemberment of the Kingdom of Seshnela.
Erengazor wished to apply a token force to improve the
alliance of Senatos and the Dominion of Holut, and
sought the heroic skills of the Fellowship to quickly
remove the King of Seshnela from power.

But the Fellowship was unmoved; the hero trollkin
Beast considered stealth and assasination to be
beneath his honour. Whilst Aalmon recommended
diplomacy, Anzhur proffered advice of preparations for
coming battle against Kingdom of War - but recommended
travelling with the forces for the sake of safety and
opportunity to reunite with Judge Kraken. For her
part, Jareena condemned the political and military
maneuvers of the Overlord and compared her to the
errors of Orlanth.

But Icthya the Aldryami was not present at the meeting
of the Fellowship with Lady Erengazor, meeting instead
with distant kin, a red elf, a Slorifing from the
southern continent of Pameltela. Red told Icthya much
of that distant land, and how his forebears had landed
in Pithdaros with many other from Pameltela with the
sole objective of preparing for war against Gbaji. The
Kings of Seshnela had been cruel against the
foreigners, and especially against the Elven kin, whom
they considered pagan and ugly.

According to the grinning Red, the Baron of Gilboch
has offered protection to all the Aldryami and there
was even hints that there was contact with the
mysterious Luatha, Demigods from the Lands of Dusk.
"Is the King of Seshnela was removed then our people
will be safer than ever before".

With these words, Icthya met with the Overlord
unbeknownst to the rest of the Fellowship and sought
to take up her offer. Lady Erengazor welcomed the
Aldryami with open arms, and gifted the Elf with the
elite weapon of the court of Syran, a short, thick
glass tube emblazoned with the runes of the Sun and
Craft; a fire-lance, capable of firing a focussed beam
of burning light for scores of yards, or a bright
flash. "Use this in any way you see fit", the Overlord
said, "and bring peace quickly".

Travelling with the armed forces of Senatos, the
Fellowship travelled across Felster Lake, most
glorious and beautiful in all of Genertala. To the
south were the dominions of Helby, of Estali, of
Tiskos, of Azilos and the Tarasdal. To the north the
past the ascendent Kingdom of Tinaros, until making
port in Kustria. From there they travelled north by
north-west, passing the fabled floating Tower of Zud,
until they reached the County of Holut.

And there the Fellowship waited; strait ahead lay the
Duchy of Rindland of the Kingdom of Seshnela. To their
right was Arolanit and the Palace of the Pentacles
where Judge Kraken was last seen. To the south, Dangin
March, where war was to begin. Which way would the
Fellowship turn?

Deadline: Make it a quick one - Friday 17th.
