Karn, returning to the Valus Mountains

The snow swirled and the wind howled, as though to herald the Silhouete's presence. Karn was rather unimpressed, his cloak staved off the cold anyway. He trudged toward the campfires of the Silhouete's army, and payed no heed to the low-lives that sat and gambled with one another.

He scanned the area for the master of the army, in the hopes of another assignment........

OCC: Karn might stay on the side of the Silhouete, just because there are plenty of oppertunities for profit along the road........

Rann

"I assume that you would make yourself the new ruler, am I right?" he didn't wait for an answer since he was so sure of his assertion. "So what kind of changes would you make in the way things are governed?"

Growing up around politics gave him a good knowledge of government and allowed him to form his own opinions about what was good and what was bad. He had often refused to carry out assassinations for the Countess, to her dismay, so firm was he in his opinions.

Now this mer stood in front of him, wanting to change the Empire for the better. Or so Rann hoped. He couldn't help but wonder if the stranger had the resources necessary.

Veric

"Such details are still undecided. A democracy of sorts, perhaps? Where the people choose the person to represent and govern Cyrodiil. I also believe in completely redesigning the legal system in the empire. Corruption runs deep and no longer should we allow the word of Imperial Guardsman to be the law. It seems any shady fellow can be picked up and held for murder nowadays."

Veric, in fact, hadn't given much thought to the question. His true intention of ever reaching the position of emperor was not a noble one. In fact most of his little speech he had made up off of the top of his head.

Rann

"So you're undecided on what your goals are? Sounds like pointless rebellion to me. You say you might want a democracy, but that is not enough. I want straight, solid answers before I do a damned thing for you." he said, becoming a bit suspicious.

Veric

"Better to be undecided than make rash, hasty decisions. It will be short lived, regardless. We will turn the empire into a democracy, we just need politically versed minds to help make key decisions," Veric retorted, his voice showing no signs of stress, "If you do not wish to participate, then don't. I just figured an opinionated individual such as yourself would be interested in building a new empire and help in ridding us of some of this undecisiveness."

Galadrile

"Come darling, let me show you..I´ve rented...a room at the Jerral Inn, so we could have some..eh privacy.Oh and I also have a gift for you"






Satyana

Satyana smiled faintly at Issac, "I was brought up in Ald´ruhn" she said, "By Serene, my grandmother, maybe you know of her?, But now I´m studying at The University of Tamriel in Chorrol..or at least I used to before all this mess took place" she added .

It was also obvious Rann had closed himself to her, so she would need to just stay put, in the background so make sure she´ll be there when all oblivion broke loose. That man was evil..pure evil and she felt a bit scared for herself as well...sort of. But her concern for Rann was greater....her lil´brother or at least she thought of him that way...right or wrong? she had no idea!


OOC: I think the girls were born some minutes before Rann....I could be mistaken but then Danny will correct me!

OOC: Sorry. I keep forgetting about this scene.

Rahvin

"So where have you been the last twenty years or so?" he asked. "I know Telina took you somewhere to heal, but we never found out where."

Mentioning Telina brought a number of mixed emotions. On one hand, he still had feelings for her, but on the other he had almost a hateful resentment towards her for leaving without so much as a good-bye, and then disappearing for twenty years.

OOC: hehe np!

Brianna

"I...I was taken away..."she said slowly, "To a safe place, Telina healed me...but..but something didn´t go right, so when I woke up I had no idea who I was or what had happened. I..I think the name of the place was Dagoth Ur...then I lived there, there were a huge garden, with all kinds of herbs and plants"

She stopped and sat silent for a while....

"Lately I had these dreams...a voice telling me to go to Chorrol, I´d find something there it said...and...I found you! I...I don´t know...anything, I´m so confused!"

Oh, by all mighty! He still have feelings for her...and she abandoned him....how could she?

Brianna covered her face....her memory was coming back now bit after bit and she wasn´t sure she liked that...at all!

Dalrus, Councilor Chamber


"Democracy, pah, it sickens me," she said to herself as she walked off. "Oligarchy and Monarchy are the only government types that work," she said in anger as she picked up a scroll which had fallen on the floor. They had already seemed to fail on what they came to do. Too much was going on now and they were too involved in the assassination for the guards to permit them to leave. She sat in a chair and read a book.



Eurod, Bruma

"Oh? Well then, what are we waiting for?" he said walking inside with her.

Rahvin

"It's too bad you didn't get here a day or two earlier." he said. "You would've met two of your children."



Rann

"Monarchy is what allows rulers to kill innocent women without repercussions." he said to her, overhearing her statment. "And since the government will do nothing about it, the people then have to take matters into their own hands."

Ian, getting angry with Rann

Ian knitted his brows and his eyes became icy and dangerous. "Tamriel has, since the beginning of time, been overned by a monarchy. Through it all it, dynasties rise and fall, regardless of how they are governed. There is no 'perfect' system of governement, even in a democrasy there will be corruption and strife."

He crossed the threshold of the chamber and stood close beside Rann and the two altmer. "And causes come and go, there is never a person who can keep completely white in a world of greys and blacks....." Suddenly, Ian noticed something pecular about one of the Altmer. He'd been skilled in Ilussion since childhood, and something wasn't right about this individuel.

Issac

Serene, rings a bell somewhere...... "Well, I think I've at least heard that name being whispered in one place or another." He began to grin slightly. "I don't remember much from before I met Ian, but my parents lived here, in the Imperial City, but they were killed by the Deadra during the Oblivion crisis."

His smile faded a little. "After the banishing of Mehrunes Dagon, Ian found me amongst the rubble; he took pity on me and took me as his adopted son. That's how I got to be what I am now, Ian taught me history, swordsmanship, and other traits that are useful today."

"Chancellor Ocato, has always been something of a second mentor to me, but he lived proudly. In the life of an agent, one must be ready to die or lose someone that's close to them......." His voice trailed off as he finished.

Voltar

Voltar felt a little under pressure as he hadn't been privy to Veric's plans beforehand, he wasn't expecting to run into the people Veric was seeking so soon. Voltar was quickly catching onto Veric's plan though; it seemed he was taking particular interest in bringing the young Dunmer onto his side. He also noticed that a young woman seemed particularly displeased with that.

Voltar leaned in towards Veric's ear and whispered into in, concealing his words with magic to ensure privacy. "Be wary of the young Imperial; she seems suspicious," he whispered, referring to Satyana.

Brianna

"My children?" she said slowly "I...I would have liked that...And you´re the father then?" She blushed again. She had children with this man! It sounded...well somewhat weird..but not at all unpleasant..no not at all!




Satyana

Satyana gave Ian a quick glance, he also had some doubts about that man! She felt him thinking that and that somewhat pleased her that another one had the same doubts about him as she had.

She turned to Issac again:

"I´m sure you´ve heard of her" she smiled "Now wasn´t that good og Ian to take you on? He seems to be a good man, right?....Now are you an agent then?"

She kinda liked Issac, he was friendly and nice.....

Rann

"I never said it would be perfect, but it would be far preferrable to an Emperor. At least in a democracy, the people choose who leads them, not heritage." he said to Ian.

"Think for yourself for once and stop letting tradition do it for you."

Dalrus, Councilor Chamber


Dalrus's eyes seemed to be engulfed in flame, as they usually went when she was angry. "And democracy lets anyone have a say in something when they have no knowlege of what they are voting for. It brings former great empires to their knees in a mix of pure deceit, greed, slander, hate, and rivalry. Democracy makes it so the people in the government are too afraid to lose their position to do anything good. Democracy, no, is not what saves people's lives." she took a breath. "You say innocents die during Monarchy, yes but they always die. If someone in Democracy wants to do something about it, that person a war mongering dictator," she looked him straight in the eyes. The fire subsided from hers revealing her extremely emerald green eyes.

Rann

"And monarchy allows one man with bad intent to bring an empire to its knees. At least in a democracy it takes a majority to do it. I'd like to think that the majority of the Empire isn't as dumb as you all."

"And democracy twists the rivalry into something good; the spreading of power. Rivalry within a monarchy starts wars."

Dalrus, Councilor Chamber



"None of the septims were bad leaders, what rulers are you talking about?" she said with mock interest. "Dumb you call us, your ignorance to a dream of democracy is the most sickeningly obtuse show of thinking that I have seen in a very long time, wake up Rann, the empire does not have and will not have a democracy, no matter how anti-monarchy thoughts you insufficient brain can conjure up," she said this and walked off.

Satyana

She listened with interest to the arguing between Rann and Dalrus, two people she cared a lot about, wondering what that all would lead to. She wasn´t that interested in politics, but she found this somewhat amusing....

Why Rann....now what will you say to that...

Flint Ironwood, poking his head in through a window.

Flint had waited outside, clinging to a wall. Yet no one came. In the meantime, a messenger was shouting something about Leyawiin being burned to the ground. Flint could hear it, even as high above the ground as he was currently.
,,What is holding them up?" He wondered and poked his head through the window. It took him only a few moments to realize what was going on.

,,Excuse me! Politics is all nice to talk about in a tavern with a flin in your hand, but we've got bigger fish to fry. Leyawiin got burned by pirates! Now could you people stop arguing till after we saved the world? Democracy or Monarchy, both aren't perfect yet they're both preferable to anarchy. So unless you pack your bags and go help keep civilization intact, neither Democracy nor Monarchy are going to help us out." He shouted angrily. He then pulled his head back before one of the guards could aim an arrow at his face.
,,Damn DB cloak. Clothes make the man, that's what my mom always said. It's the truth."

Flogir

"Flint's right you guys, we oughta get moving," Flogir said, voicing the same sentiments as Flint while he picked himself off the floor.

"We got the book, so the best thing to do is study while we move to figure out what to do next."
