A treaty with the Thalmor To Aedil of the Aldmeri Dominion What a sad hand fate has dealt the Dominion. Your ideas of Elven superiority lay shattered at the feet of an equal cooperation of men, elves and beasts. Your fleet is broken, your armies in Valenwood crushed. I offer you a chance to surrender to the Empire, Bosmer and Redguards. Your people will be treated with charity and kindness and your captive soldiers will be returned to you. The personal effects of your deceased shall also be returned. Your nation will be able to continue as an independent country governed in this manner should your people wish it. Just a few of the terms that will be placed upon you as a result of surrender are as follows; you will formally apologise for your acts against man and beast, you will release any such captives you are holding, you will allow the territories of Valenwood and Elsweyr to decide their political future without you, you shall pay reparations for the damage you have caused towards the other races. Finally, you're fleet size may never surpass more than a quarter of the Imperial fleet, and your armies will be restricted to 1/3 the size of the Imperial Legion. This will be in effect for one hundred years, after which the naval and military restrictions will be returned to status quo. During this period Empire forces will be permitted to stay in your land to ensure you are honouring the agreement. Don't try to bluff, the Altmer reproduce slower than the races of men, you haven't recovered from the first war as well as we have, let alone will recover as well and as quickly as we will from this one. The Redguard fleets have put your own to shame and the Imperial legions have broken your army while the bosmer have proven to more than outmatch you on their native turf. If you continue this war, the destruction of the Aldmeri dominion and occupation of Alinor by Redguard and/or Imperial forces is inevitable. -Legate Barus Black Marsh A second carriage arrived in the city, and the doors are opened, revealing the count of Cheydinhal. He steps off and into the city, guarded by two bodyguards on either side. Meanwhile, the Elder Councillor had given a small and respectful bow to the Argonian "Greetings, I apologise for the Emperors absence, he was and possibly is away when this summit was called. I am afraid I shall have to suffice as the Empires representative" the Councillor said as he raised again to his upright position, and when the free Khajiit arrived he gave them a small bow also "Hail" He said simply, before turning back to the Argonians Cheydinhal With the count having left right after the anarchy to go yo the Summit, obviously hoping Morrowind would attend so that he could try and turn the Argonians against them, not that it would be all too difficult considering their history, his son had been left in charge. And boy, was he in charge of the mess. The ones they had originally saved had provided some worthwhile information, and the position that it was linked to Morrowind had only garnered more and more support over time, considering the suspicious lack of evidence being considered too skillful for daedra worshippers. For now, he had to keep the legion on a leash... But the three penitus Oculatus had a mind if their own. They had crossed the border into with a plan, no where near as grand as the plot that had surrounded Cheydinhal, but enough that they considered it a worth while venture. They had, of course, set up their escape route so they could make a quick get away. Using the charms around their neck, which were enchanted to confer invisibility, the three agents operated outside the control of the count, having received orders directly from the legions legate It had become a bit of an embarrassment, truth be told, so they needed to catch the perpetrators, and they had failed with almost every plan they could come up with. That the perpetrators had not taken the penitus Oculatus had ruined that plan, and they had turned their attention away from such elaborate plots.
