Family Reunion

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa snorts. "A simple solution: Set up a rotation for the lower ranked... officers? of your command. They do a rotation as a teacher. They learn the value of keeping the little people in their minds, their value, and how to be patient and teach. In return, education spreads. It's something I've been toying with for a bit myself, but I'm unsure how the kingdoms would react."

[Anastasia]

"That's another reason," Jarem agrees, "I don't know enough about the local politics and customs to go about splashing. Not without risking things going wrong because of what I don't know. I think I will send some word up the chain, get some focus here if we have any faithful in the area."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm... Let me know. I'd like to send some of those we've ear-marked for mentorship as well. Perhaps when coupled with a religious order, they'll view it less as a foreign power trying to subvert children and more of a missionary effort. It'll help prepare my people to teach more advanced subjects."

[Anastasia]

"I will."

As you approach the castle, a runner approaches you. A simple page, a child of 10 or 11 perhaps. "Milady! Milady Songsteel!" he calls, running up, red faced. A thin young man, hands on his knees as he catches his breath.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hello. It's a bit of a surprise to be greeted this way. I'm also not quite a lady."

[Anastasia]

"Ah...ah...Lord Melweather requests your presence," he says once he has some of his wind back.

[Iron Dragoon]

"I was going to say hello on my way to see my father. Please lead the way. Though, how did he know I was here already?"

[Anastasia]

Jarem adds in at that, "I was just thinking the same thing. We've been here minutes at most."

"Um, did someone tell him?" The page frowns, "He told me to come get you and hurry."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa frowns a bit but motions the page to lead on.

[Anastasia]

Perception.

You notice an odd, occasional rippling in the sky above. Like something invisible occasionally making things known - or several such things, perhaps.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nudges Jarem and silently points the effect out to him with a suspicious look.

Before I try to cast anything here, I have True Seeing as a constant effect via item. Does it reveal anything?

[Anastasia]

Ah, you can see them now. Scrying sensors - forming in the air and fizzling after several moments. Dozens of them, just drifting about and seeing before fading.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa takes hold of Shifting Steel with her Telekinesis, but simply holds it in place. Just in case she needs the extra second.
