Magnus accompanies Duncan, eyes rolling as he set off to ensure his student didn’t die.

“Doesn’t mean we can’t party.” answers Ithrendas Regis.

“All magic is bad.” The Monk grumbled, “It’s unnatural to rend nature or the void to your will. As long as there is any magic the world will be a dangerous place to be.”

Ithrendas remarks, “Come find me, or a Constable and report this. We will hunt the scourge if this is true.”

From the davenport of the Empyrion of the Concord ”Dear Dimaethor Visaj, and the good people of the Silver State of Haelun’or. I hope you are doing well. After consideration of your missive, I figured that I’d deliver a succinct reply to save you waiting on the edge your seats. I’ll cut to the point and address your ‘terms’ one by one. The Extradition of Dark Magi As much as I’d love to bring forth each of these individuals to you, only one of them is even a Denizen of Llyria and as such the rest cannot be extradited to you. The Lady Overseer, Cyrene, is the only being of your list who exists within my borders without scrutiny. If you wish for her to be extradited to your great city, I want an appropriate reason as to why she is deserving of punishment. What crimes has she committed to you and your people? – As for those others on your list, if they are found within the city they will be apprehended and dragged to the Silver State immediately. The Erection of a Memorial for Gusten Faeliel I, nor do my council, know who this individual is, nor am I aware as to how their involvement comes into play with my nation. With that said, I am sorry for the loss of your citizen and I truly express the greatest sympathies for the pain you have felt. I am more than happy to aid in the construction, and pay for the costs of the erection of a monument in the name of your fallen. The Law of Dark Magic As I’ve mentioned before, Dark Magic is illegal in Llyria. I will cite the passage within our Edicts, Section 6. Regulations: Pertaining to the Unnatural Just as they are taught within the teachings of the Canon, Warlocks and Abominations are permitted and tolerated within the borders of The Concord, however they are forbidden from using their magic or their powers no matter where they are, or for what reason. Furthermore, these beings are prohibited from reproducing, and will be scrutinized further should they break an Edict of the Concord. Creatures that are born of the magics of Warlocks are forbidden from holding public office, or working in public business. Warlocks, and creatures born of the magics of Warlocks, must conceal their features if their appearance is deemed threatening, at the discretion of the Lordly Council, or Empyrion. Warlocks, and creatures born of the magics of Warlocks, must register with the Echelon of Sagacity before being considered for tolerated citizenship. While, yes, Warlocks are tolerated to exist within the borders of the Concord, as defined by the Teachings of the Canon, their practices and their ways are admonished and targeted by the Constabulary and the Consul. These beings are abominations, their practices wicked and cruel, and any being who dares to practice and conjure such within my border will face extermination. Those who practice and make use of their arts are hunted, Sohaer, always. We do not harbour people. We never have, and we never will. Instead of readying yourselves for war, if you’d actually met with me on the many occasions I tried to reach out and communicate with you, all of this could have been avoided. This only leads me to believe that this whole charade is being presented because you are clawing for a reason for war, and not because you have the interests of the innocent at heart. The Consul and I conclude together, as a united front, that the menace of Warlocks must be dealt with, and we are responding in kind. A reformed Guardforce is being dispatched to keep the streets clean and clear of all threats, and we will not permit any of those who seek harm on others to exist within our lands. I was, and am ever open to discussion with you, Dimaethor, always. I am a man of peace, a man who wishes to talk and sort problems through civil discussion. I do not reach conclusions alone, my Consul act as beacons of reason and advice to every single decision that is made. we are not perfect. We are young, and we admit our mistakes. Allow us the opportunity to prove that and discuss these matters with you. Further to that, perhaps I can prove to you that I am nothing like the putrid Father you deem me ilk of. The Izaliths are dead, and I killed them. Their name does not sully the blood of any any longer. Kind regards, Ithrendas Regis & The Lordly Consul of Llyria.”

“A little hypocritical of the GREAT SILVER STATE to speak so boldly on the topic of Dark Mages and Fiends, no?” Ithrendas commented in passing.

"Who the **** is Alfius" The white man questioned. "Who are all these people you assume live here?"

"Who is Gusten Faeliel? Glad people skip to demands instead of civil diplomacy." The Empyrion rolls his eyes. "Dark Magic already is outlawed... Do you people not know how to read? I will not be erecting a statue of someone we do not know in my city." "Your wishes and terms will be considered, and a response will be given at a later date."

"Provide proof to these claims and I will lay justice down upon the wicked." states the Empyrion flatly, "How do you expect me to act without the attention being raised. Speak not like a coward in anonymity and speak freely, convene and elucidate on your claims. It has been made clear on every possible occasion that the Concord does not stand idle when these claims are made, and yet people still spout rather than address. I will investigate these matters further, but deliverance cannot be brought until proof is acquired."

The Empyrion, having just returned from his honeymoon, looks over the missive with gloom. The man grimly set pen to paper, shaking his head as he wrote: “Cassian Colborn has been a friend to my family, and to the Church for generations. This... accusation is a grave and harsh one, and I require further proof than the word of an anonymous source. If this proves to be true, which I harshly doubt, then the Concord will respond to his death appropriately and investigate the decisions made by the Lord Chancellor during his reign. With that said, the Demon Karyssmov was slaughtered by our guards, and his ashes were personally delivered to His High Holiness, Daniel VI. Furthermore, Llyria does not permit the use of any and all magics, and is instead harshly scrutinized within our walls. Within Canonist Teachings, the existence of abominations and malefic creatures is one that is tolerated. It is said that sapient creatures not born of the Four Brothers are corrupt, yes indeed, but are to be treated at best with pity. They are permitted to exist provided they do not reproduce, or make use of their unnatural abilities. Furthermore, the demon Zhukar, and the shade Vas Vincrute, are not members of our Guardforce for you see, the Traceless Order was dissolved many years ago, and the Constabulary has yet to be established. The permitance of the ‘warlock’ Cyrene upon the Consul is one based in the reality that she applies to our laws and our customs, that our culture and the Canonist faith is unimpeded by her existence. Her arts are not utilised, and should proof of the contrary be brought to me then her status within the Concord will be swiftly dealt with. It concerns me, concerned citizen, that your disregard for Canonist Teachings and Faith are so twisted and wicked. Bring unto me proof of your accusations, bring forth more than anonymity and words and I can assure you that righteous and just retribution shall be smitten upon those who are deserving. I humbly request and beg His High Holiness to admonish these words until proof is offered, until the faithful Father is truly shown to have been wicked. His actions, his love for the Church shall not be debased by the Concord, not until such a time as it is clear that this nameless concerned citizen brings forth something viable. As a Canonist Ruler and a servant to the Faith myself, I took an oath to the Church, and to GOD, to uphold it’s teachings, and I shall not go against the vow I made and dirty the name of a Faithful Father with such frivalry. Regards, Ithrendas Regis, Empyrion of the Concord.”

Ithrendas nods. "I love protests. I look forward to hearing the voice of the people, we can learn much and adapt our ways to their needs. I await with eagerness, and hope to see the thoughts of the denizenry."

You know something I don't? Cause I'm good bro, rather not.

A Public Statement to the Princedom of Fenn, Vira’ker, and the people of Llyria Issued on 4th of The First Seed, 1728 It has come to my attention during the past few months, that the Consul of Llyria and the Lord Chancellor, Cassian Cardinal Omeryn, have made decisions in regards to the declarations of war from the Principality of Fenn. As the acting Empyrion of the Concord, I wish to ensure and declare that these recent proclamations have been illegal and unapproved by the Empyreal seat. With that said, however, The Empyreal Seat wishes to reinforce the apologies and sympathies exhibited in regards to the Fennic people. The presence of the Spider Cultists, albeit unbeknownst to us, has caused great suffering and strife to the Mali’fenn and I personally wish to extend my apologies that their presence in our lands, has led to the loss and suffering of many. The existence of these Cultists have proven a bane to many, and is a bane to us equally. It is through this apology, and through his acknowledgement of their stygian ways that I declare them enemies of the Concord. Their foul practices will never be supported, and will instead be squashed with the might of Arbitration. We will be handling the expulsion and extermination of the vermin from the Caves you have addressed, and ensuring that the network is collapsed in on itself so that the menace may never reform within our lands. Furthermore, as an offer of peace and a show of our sympathies, we wish to compensate the Fennic people with reparations equaling the total cost of land. A total sum of 7,500 minas will be transferred by courier to the Grand Council of Fenn, and we will ensure that the menace do not return. The Cultists’ lands will be destroyed and defended against any stray who dares to step foot within our borders. We remain vigilant and careful in the eyes of this uncertainty, and each member of Arbitration has since been trained on how to deal with this threat. You and your people may rest assured that these people will never step within our land or use it as a base of operations for their attacks against you. - While the decisions made by the Lord Chancellor in false regency were illegal in nature, the decision to release the Sable Principality of Vira’ker into its rightful independence were, indeed, supported and approved decision by The Empyreal Seat. The rulership of the Syllar Crown is rightful and just, and we look forward to witnessing the rule of the High Prince. Signed, His Serenity, Ithrendas I of House Regis Empyrion of The Concord, Suzerain of Llyria, Protector of Omeryn, and Chi, Shield of the Wayward, Keeper of the Scions, Member of the Irongrinder Clan, Guardian of the Primordial, Paragon of the Ohric Will

"To clarify. We do accept the terms Fenn issued, we simply state stop that that we offer safe passage to enable them to exact their just revenge. Unsure if that was clear." Ithrendas comments, shrugging one final time as he packed for his honeymoon.

"Yeah, what?" Ithrendas blinks with his brother.

Ithrendas Regis blinks. "Hold up, we have what? Since when?" The confused man turned about from the notice, moving to convene with the Consul to discuss this new information.
