[u]Oravos the Nerevarine[/u] 22nd Midyear 4E, 205 Meeting Hall, New Vivec The footsteps of Oravos echoed in the silent room, the councilors all sat properly on their seats, not attempting to argue with each other as they were summoned for a meeting in the middle of the night. As Oravos reach the front of his ivory seat, the councilors stood up and faced their king, watching him briefly before he told to them take back their seats. "I'm hoping that everyone here knows the gravity of the matter I'm about to inform you, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here instead of sleeping." Oravos says before snapping his fingers, letting one of his royal guards to lay down the map of Tamriel on the table."The vision I had of the Akaviri has finally come, the people of the east are now waiting on the shores of Esroniet, planning their invasion of Tamriel." he says before briefly pausing. "Though their arrival is earlier than I've predicted, they won't be stepping on Dunmer territory as invaders... but as our allies." he says, making the councilors break their silence to speak with each other in shock, only to be scolded by Oravos. "I've brokered a deal with Akavir to spare Morrowind from the Invasion, and in return, we'll provide them a staging ground to attack Argonia and the Empire." The murmurs of the councilors suddenly uttered positive words, as all of them wanted a payback for those who attacked Morrowind. "Akavir will also establish trade and support Morrowind's endeavors, in return for its cooperation." The councilors all nodded with each other, approving at what their king was saying. It might be the Moon-and-Star affecting their decision, but they can't do anything about it anyways, promises was already carved on stone. "I wish everyone to be discreet of this information, only your trusted servants should know of this... Now that being said, I wish to move this meeting, so we could discuss our plan of action..." --- A few days after --- 27th Midyear 4E, 205 Meeting Hall, New Vivec "...House Sadras must pay for its crime against our people! Not only did they murder our men, but also defiled them like a scrib!" shouted by the Grandmanster of House Dres. "I understand your concern Grandmaster Pavlev, but we have no concrete evidence that Sadras did commit the crime. Having their name etched in blood on the walls, doesn't really mean that they are responsible, it might be a set up." says Oravos who already spent an hour hearing both representatives of Sadras and Dres argue and accuse each other. "With all due respect my King, if you'd give us permission to investigate further on the scene, I'm sure our Ordinators will find out something." the Ordinator General says. The general wasn't usually allowed on such meetings, but seeing that no other house wants to initiate the investigation other than the vengeful Dres, the Ordinators had to step in. "You may proceed with further investigations, in the mean time, representative Ysarde Sadras, you are to be detained in the High Temple's prison, until Sadras' innocence comes to light." The representative didn't say a word as she stand, she knew that improper actions would only render her dead, and her innocence was clearer than the sky of Morrowind now. "Once this is over.. our house will see to it that Dres will pay for its baseless accusations." she says before being escorted out by a group of Ordinators. --- [u]Ildoryn Sarano[/u] 27th Midyear 4E, 205 Tear, Morrowind Ildoryn arrives at Tear, surprised that the army deployed along the eastern shores were gone on his return. "Whats the meaning of this?" he asks the Redoran captain inside the war room "Our King ordered the withdraw of the army back to Narsis, it seems that there's a campaign brewing, but there's no orders from our superiors." says the captain. "I see.. well I'm sure he received the results of the summit in Stormhold, which would probably explain this.." Ildoryn says before the captain speaks again. "There's also a message for you, it just arrive this morning sera" says the captain again before handing him a scroll. [hider=Letter] Ildoryn, peace is settled between Akavir and Morrowind. The Akaviri wishes to attack Thorn and have invited me to oversee their operation. I must settle things in the capital, which is why I've told them you'd go instead. They should arrive in Tear to resupply, host them well, I don't want any of the Akaviri disappointed with their alliance with us. I also received your letter regarding the summit, I'll deal with the Dominion, if they prove their worth, maybe the Akaviri will take notice of them. (A symbol of Azura's star) [/hider] After reading the letter, Ildoryn crumpled the paper and tossed it into a lamp, burning the paper. Unlike Oravos who can conjure spells effortlessly, Ildoryn was only master of the blade, casting a spell would no doubt take his precious time, when he could burn it on a different way. --- [hider=Actions] - Morrowind discreetly prepares for Akavir's arrival. - Representative of House Sadras is sent to jail, while the Ordinators establish further investigations. - Ashland Armigers moved into central Morrowind. - Ildoryn arrives a Tear.
