Forever lies ahead

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa teleports to them, "Hello!"

[Anastasia]

Madala turns, "Alyssa," she bows her head to you in a moment, "All that would come have come with whatever they can."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods, "And those who have chosen to stay behind? Are any of the leaders willing to meet and discuss things?"

[Anastasia]

"No," A headshake, "I suspect influence of other forces, so I hastened our departure."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Plausable. Let's get you all settled in, and then we can talk next steps. But first.."

Alyssa sends her voice across the realm, My friends, let our realm welcome those who have come to us. Welcome the Arcane Order. They will need help settling and finding their place among us. Welcome them as the teachers and students they are, and as the friends they will become. They will lend us their knowledge, skills, and experience. Lend them yours in return, for our realm is new to them, and they will have much to explore.

Quick Diplo, +10 bonus.

Your words and will spread like fire amid your people. You feel them all work out, all of them spread as your will is done.

Anything else to do with your gains here, or just let them integrate?

[Iron Dragoon]

Just let them get settled. I'm sure the new leadership will want to have a word at some point though. And I do actually want to peek in on those who left. Doesn't seem right to just 100% leave them out.

[Anastasia]

Sure, what's your plan dealing with the remnants?

[Iron Dragoon]

Well, for now I'm just going to make sure they're not in immediate danger. After that, ID the leaders and see if I can't do a personal talk with them.

[Anastasia]

On a glance, a few are gone. Of the ones you can find, the main one is Sebastian Redlock, a relatively middling wizard with a skill in enchantments.

[Iron Dragoon]

Hello Sebastian. I would like to have a conversation about why you decided to split off from the rest of the Order.

[Anastasia]

He is currently in one of the Order's libraries, an open pause as he hears your voice - before he goes back to what he's doing, no hesitation.

[Iron Dragoon]

Oh, don't ignore me, it's petty. I'm not going to try to force you into anything. I just want you to be aware of what might be happening. I'm sure Madala gave you the overview, but she's often confrontational when she doesn't need to be. I want the Order to be as aware and prepared as possible; I was High Regent and I still care about all of you.
