Family Reunion

[Iron Dragoon]

"Alyssa Songsteel, head of the Arcane Order. This is Emily, a friend of mine. I'm here to speak with the King about the issue I sent an envoy about."

[Anastasia]

Emily smiles.

"Come with me," The guard says immediately, whistling long and loud. A soldier comes from within to replace him as he leads you inside.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa follows sedately, inspecting the surroundings as they go.

[Anastasia]

Perception.

You are escorted to the king without delay.

It's a big, white floored and walled place, well lit and with huge windows to show the beginnings of snowfall outside. Motes of light dance in the upper reaches of the high ceiling, shedding light equal to noon's daylight. Here petitioners and the court all are, before a throne where a man sits.

He is perhaps 50 years of age and yet has an odd look to him - eyes sharp and young, wrinkles that don't really quite go as far as they should. He's tall, muscular and well built, short blonde hair and wearing robes and a golden grown decorated with sunstones.

The King is currently listening to an armored warrior reply, "...and Sabeth is secured, though we are still searching for - !"

"Your Majesty," The guard bows, "Pardon the interruption. I bring Guild Master Alyssa Songsteel, who requests an audience."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa inspects him, idly trying to pin down why he looks odd and young...

The King of Langersun is not fully human. You'd guess celestial blood based on his general appearance and your passing knowledge of Langersun history.

[Iron Dragoon]

Honestly straight forgot the King's name.

"Your Excellency, I am Alyssa Songsteel. It's quite a pleasure to meet you, and I thank you for both your time and the courtesy you showed my envoy."

[Anastasia]

"I did not expect to see you here," The King of Langersun declares, "Is the druid dealt with?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"That's where I'm currently headed. I wanted to stop in and find out more about the problem between you before I inadvertently did something to escalate it beyond what anyone wants. Why exactly is the druid in your Grove and what's the conflict here?"

[Anastasia]

"She's doing her own business, and frankly, I don't want her here," The King replies, "Langersun has had enough problems lately without her bringing more."

[Iron Dragoon]

"What problems has she been starting?"
