The High Elder sat himself at the end of the Ashguard Hall within Alisgrad. It was a comfortable enough arrangement - but a far cry from that Great Hall which hosted the Narada. His overly world-weary features had been exacerbated by the events of the past few months, but even he could not help but to smile faintly as that letter from the Cingedoz Elder was set atop a scattering of diplomatic missives by a certain beaming, ginger-haired man.
He dragged himself to an unsteady stand and began to arrange with his council - his people -, the necessary preparations for that funeral pyre which would guide the fallen Vistulians to Navia, and mark the turning over of a new page for the Clandom.
