Dalrus, Balmora


"I guess you're right, i mean the name was one of prestige," she suddenly stopped and stared at stauros. "Oh uh sorry, well i guess i better get in my good clothes for the speech," she ran back to her manor

[Dantrag]

Amili and Melkaan, Tel Naga

Melkaan motioned both of his attendants, Virk and Amli, inside.

"I want one of you outside of my door at all times; you work out the shifts with each other; I don't care how it works as long as it does."

Amili nodded at each order, and when Melkaan was done, Left the room, Virk not far behind.

Once outside, Virk grabbed Amili's shoulder. "You get first watch." with that, he let go of her and continued walking.

Amili glared at Virk's back. We'll see how long you have that attidude, scum.

She reminded herself of what was to come, and it made her smile to herself.

New Vivec- Recovering from battle

Over the enxt few days New Vivec was silent, people did not leave their homes unless they had to, and if they did hurried about and made little conversation. Even though the enemy had not reached the city of vivec, people were begining to realize that the city could not always be at peace. The Halls of Justice was the few place bustling with life, officers met to discuss plans should the city be attacked, for the first time since the reconstruction, were the defenses of vivec being unveiled to mroe than a select few, though it was still only high ranked officials and only portions were revealed. Megil made no appearance over the few days, as statistics were brought up frot eh battle, 5,000 dead ordinators, much more than had been anticipated. Megil met with those ordinators of old vivec, and instructed them that they were to teach the enw ordinators how to properly fight in war, the city could not afford more losses in the defense. The construction crews had cleared the collapsed portion of vivec, and had begun reconstruction.

Dalrus, Balmora


she quickly stripped, and looked around for her good clothes, if she was going to rally the people she better look good.


The Silhouette


The silhouettes worked their way around the perimiter of the city, and had split up, for not only goblins would come under their banner, but bandits, murderers, any who were chased by the law. An emissary was on his way to the telvanni city of sadrith mora, to talk to them...


Emissary: On shore of sadrith mora. "So this is the telvanni city is it?" hissed the silhouette who was sent on this mission. "Yeah this i...s is it" the sailors voice chilled at hearing the silhouettes voice "have a nice day sssir"

the silhouette dashed up the hill to tel nagath...

[ShogunSniper]

Over the few days the Morag Tong had been pretty boring. Nobody wanted any assassinations since everyone was still recovering from the recent battle.

Endris had recieved another messenger bringing news that the Balmora Morag Tong had also been razed, but by an unknown person. Because of this, Endris had unofficially declared the Morag Tong a Telvannic orginization. They were still accepting writs from other houses, but at an extraordinary price.

Meanwhile Endris was planning the assassination on Megil. However, he did not know the layoutof the Hall of Justice so he went there as far as a citzen was alowed to go....

Sul-Matuul
Zergonipal

Sul-Matuul found himself not waiting to speak, he knew what he should say. it seemed Serene had paired him and Kaushad together simply as disagreers. "I have spoken to Kaushad, he understands that the younger generation wants to explore more. It is true of all cultures. It is part of the survival of the culture. Our ways, Serene, and preservation of those ways are our history, and therefore if we stop practicing the old ways we lose who we are. That is probably what he's most worried about, he see's what was once the Ashlanders is dying off to suit the new evironment we must adjust to, where two ashkhans are inexperienced however strong-willed they may be. He is also... to be sympathized. He is going through a very difficult time... mourning in a way, for the death of many things. A sign that he has finished mourning will probably be when he tells Sedrane about his blood.

"Serene, if you feel you should leave there is much more you can do for the world right now than sit in this dreary place. Most of our warriors are about ready to leave, and perhaps you, with Jonacin and your daughter, will want to explore the world again, maybe only to come back and report the state of the world to us."

[Florodine of Hlaalu]

Dalrus, Her Balmora Manor


Dalrus quickly pulled on a beautiful silk shirt, along with a lace skirt. She would have loved to admire her most expensive outfit, but realised that she needed to get to the town square really soon, else the people would start heading home. She slipped on two sandle dress shoes, and ran outside. She could hear the thousands of people packed into the city square, the entire population of balmora would be here, and she had to make a good speech.

There they were right before her, and after many other councilors introduced her she started with her speech...

"Men and women of the great house Hlaalu. Some of you have fled form the servitude of the evil house televanni, and we welcomed you, helped you build a new, suitable life in Hlaalu society. Others of you have abandoned house Redoran because you haven't met their "code of ethics"(or what ever they are called)," the crowd laughed at this "we of Hlaalu have welcomed you as well. We are all proud of the city we have built around us." Dalrus spread her arms showing balmora's splender. "But, alas, the two other houses are threatening our territory, our homes, and most of all our people. Citizens, I wont lie to you, the houses are practically at war, in everything but name." the crowed all looked to eachother and remarked a thing or two

"Stauros has just returned from the mighty city of Vivec were all the defiences and tretury are astounding! *There are brawls in the streets as well. It is our Divine given mission
to keep the other houses down and to do that we need a standing army. Some of you are thinking, 'we already have a guard' or something of the sort, but they are just the guard, to stay at the homefront, fighting off bandits, petty theives. We need to keep two whole houses in check. What we need to do is to rebuild fort moonmoth**.I assure you, you will not be oppressed for those in the army will be your own kin, your blood, not the Emporer's pets. They will know how you feel and uphold the dignity of an army and let us claim the respect we deserve."

The crowd roared in excitement at this, all 100,000 people of balmora cheered with all their might. The 10,000 guards from all the towns raised their weapons in pride, for they knew they'd be the elite soldiers. The next hour was even more exciting, food, and drink for all, and later, the draft, and then the army of balmora, would be ready, and stauros and dalrus could move onto the next city

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

Megil-New Vivec

the city bubbled with life once more for it was a beautiful day outside. The pastel toned city glittered and glowed in the sunlight, the ocean sparkling blue. Little remained of the battle scene, it had been cleaned and the land healed by magick. The damaged parts were now beginning reconstruction, curious passersby walked to the barricades and peered as huge block of granite, marble, and alabaster were brought into place by the large cranes that had been erected over the past few days. The newly opened dock had small ships from around Vvardenfell and beyond. Despite the attacks Vivec continued to function as if nothing occurred, already platforms were built out to see for the construction of the first seawall. A huge 40 foot thick and 50 foot high wall, that would also act as a barrack. Huge gates would perforate sections to allow the passage of ships into the dock within.

The training grounds of New Vivec were filled with Ordinators as they trained by the ordinators of old. They were to be brought to physical peak, trained to move quickly and to look for weaknesses in their opponents. They were also taught techniques for opposing enemy magick, Megil looked down on the training fields from a balcony in the HOJ, behind him was a room field with officials,

“They are progressing faster than expected, in a few weeks they will be in their prime. At least thats the fastest before they will be similar in skill as the old ordinators. It will take months to get them to be better. Also we have new recruits coming in from throughout Vvardenfell, if we can even get a quarter of them to pass the Ordinator trials, we will more than make up the losses of the battle.” the Chief ordinator reported. Megil turned around to look at the men,

“That is good, The ordinators are more symbological than efficient, we need a new group of fighters, that are agile in battle and not weighed down by such heavy armor. I already have in mind a group who can teach the new group to be so agile, they will be like a flow like water in battle. I want those who fail the ordinator tests to be put under training as the new faction. Those that survive the training will form the new elite defense of vivec.”

The officials hid their surprise but agreed with Megil. The meeting was dismissed and Megil left to go inform the sylphs that their three best fighters would soon be teaching a new style to the men. After much debate they agreed, the sylphs battle technique had yet to be encountered by Vvardenfell so it would give Vivec an upper hand should it once again be attacked,

The defenses of the city were tested, the retractable bridges, and the magical shields tested. The pumps in the outer walls checked to ensure that entry through the sewers would be nigh impossible, since they could be flushed and flooded.

Staruos greeted Dalrus as she walked off of the platform, "Excelent, that was alot better then I could have done! You got the crowd to want a standing army, you have done Hlaalu a great deed."

Dalrus, Balmora


"Thank you"she said as she involuntarily gave stauros a hug. "haha, yeah... well i guess you should set up the draft while i go find something to drink," she turned to leave

Sul-Matuul
Zergonipal

Sul-Matuul found himself not waiting to speak, he knew what he should say.  it seemed Serene had paired him and Kaushad together simply as disagreers.  "I have spoken to Kaushad, he understands that the younger generation wants to explore more.  It is true of all cultures.  It is part of the survival of the culture.  Our ways, Serene, and preservation of those ways are our history, and therefore if we stop practicing the old ways we lose who we are.  That is probably what he's most worried about, he see's what was once the Ashlanders is dying off to suit the new evironment we must adjust to, where two ashkhans are inexperienced however strong-willed they may be.  He is also... to be sympathized.  He is going through a very difficult time... mourning in a way, for the death of many things.  A sign that he has finished mourning will probably be when he tells Sedrane about his blood.

Serene
Zergonipal

Serene sat silent, just listening to Sul-Matuul, she knew he had a point, the future of the ashlanders was dependent of both the ancient ways and the newer ones, that was the state of art and she accepted it....almost. But she had cyrodiilic blood in her veins, as well as other, to her yet unknown, and thus she could accept but not fully understand the thoughts of Sul-Matuul. She losed her eyes and made a very subtle attempt to get closer to his thoughts, but she couldnt really comprehend what she sensed....so she just let go.

"I would prefer not to leave" she said, "I imagine you will need my skills if there´s going to be fighting. You know of my healing-skills, and I think they can be of use..."

She ponered for a while, then continued

"You mentioned hard times for Kaushad?, that he was mourning some death? Now can yopu tell me a bit more....so I can understand his actions better.."

She was a bit stunned how she reacted on the older man´s actions..she felt calm and relaxed now....what magic had he used on her? maybe the magic of great wisdom....?

[Soulseeker3.0]

Stauros->Balmora

Stauros was somewhat shocked when Dalrus gave him a hug, it wasn't bad, it was just unexpected. He nodded and headed over to some guards and found a scribe,

"Okay I want you three to set up a booth about there." Stauros pointed to some corner of the town square. "I want you to start a draft, no elderly people, no younglings, if it is a person of questionable ability consult the guards and talk it over with them. I want The person's name, If they can read place an "R" after their name, if they can write place a "w". I also want their residence. Also tell them that they will be expected to help rebuild the fort as well. Did you get all of that?"

The scribe nodded his head with enthusiasm(sp?) and the group walked off to the corner. Stauros rallyed a few more guards to keep order and to see that no brawls broke out. Stauros jogged to catch up to Dalrus and said, "Well thats all taken care of, now were to?"

[Channler]

Falx Albarnias
New Vivec

Falx observed the bustling of city traffic, it brought joy to him that it was back. Megil was not the only that put sweat and blood in its rebuilding.

He continued on, untill he reached the Hall of Justice stopping only to admire the vast columns that were erected to commemorate the end of Arkyact.. and the empire in Vvardenfell.

Inside however, seemed the stark opposite. The walls were more utilitarion in fashion. More efficient, less actractive, yet not in a displeasing way.

Falx stepped up to the desk by the door of Megil's office. "Good morning mam, do you know if Lord Megil is busy at the moment?"

She mumbled something about a meeting and then looked up, "Oh Captain, I'll see if he's available."

(OMG that was a sucky post, I'll try to do bette rnext time.)

Dalrus, Balmora


"Well, lets see, its getting late, why dont we go get something to eat at the eightplates inn?"

The town was, busy, to say in the least, though it was late, it seemed the peak of the day. Thousands of people stood in line for the draft while others drank till they collapsed, though dalrus didn't take part in this, for she much rather go to dinner with a friend

[Dantrag]

Sel, New Vivec Inn (Legion HQ)

Sel walked in the door of the inn and sat down alone, hoping to overhear some conversation relevant to whatever the hell was going on.

[BobV]

Anthanes - Ald'Ruhn, His Tower

Anthanes, who had regained his balance somewhat, opened the door to his tower. As he did this, his impish servant Tanar'zu flew up to the battlemage.

"'elo master! There's nasty spot on kitchen floor left by Morag-man! But other than that, all well and good! Well and good!´

[Soulseeker3.0]

Stauros->Balmora

Stauro and Dalrus reached the Inn and walked in (the inn ). Inside the festivities were still going strong and Stauros and Dalrus got many cheers before they got to a table and the waiter was there to take their order.

The water came up to the table and placed one of the most expensive drinks on the table, "On the house, you both have done much to increase the profits tonight. What will you have?"

Stauros Smiled when they got the drink, "thank you, I would like some NIx hound stew and a side order of the main dish for the night."

The waited nodded and turned to Dalru, "Madam, what would you like?".

[DoomedOne]

Isaarin Sithiln

"So, the Morag Tong has chosen to forsake House Hlaalu?" he confirmed with one of his agents. "Very interesting. Very well, you're dismissed."

The agent left, and he pondered it for a while. "If the morag tong wish to work for Telvanni, then both factions may die together. Asthul! Bring me the leader of house Redoran!"

Isaarin grinned happily. As long as he used his strengths and understood his weaknesses, he was unstoppable. Wred entered the office.

"Wred Halius, how was the battle?"

"Awful, many guards were killed. They were defeated."

"I'll swing it to get some publicity. Those guards were sacrificed for the great city of New Vivec, remember that. You are a hero now. Your fame has already grown quite a bit because of your actions at the battlefield. Beautiful alibi, no?"

"I suppose so," said Wred. His mind was still on the mysterious debt he owed to the one that helped him escape Megil's madhouse.

"Well excellent, I want you to start the new recruiting drive for Hlaalu's army in New Vivec personally. What can they do? Megil's dug his own grave by allowing the Legion to recruit here. If they can, we shall do the same, and with you being one of the men of the hour, we're sure to pull them in in folds."

"Wait, Hlaalu's building an army?" asked Wred.

"Oh! Most definitely! I've already talked to Stauros and the other Council-members about it. It's a finished deal."

(That was a bump to you, Aki, for Ravvin)

En'Fel
Sadrith Mora

En'Fel scribbled his note underneath the tent he set up in the outskirts of Sadrith Mora:

Amili,
I'm here, meet me in the alley behind the docks, it's a safe place. Meet whenever you will not be followed, I'll be there.

En'Fel took the note and took another trip back to the city. He entered a library and walked to a spell-book section out of view of the librarian. He slid the note between two books about fire, and carefully cast a frosting spell around it in a circle, so a diameter of about 6 inches of frost surounded the note.

Sul-Matuul

"It's not really your concern Serene, but I understand you show interest. Anyway, Kaushad is in charge here, so I'm off, but thank you for this talk. I need to scout out the land a little more." Sul-Matuul shook her hand and turned.

Isaarin Sithiln

"So, the Morag Tong has chosen to forsake House Hlaalu?" he confirmed with one of his agents.  "Very interesting.  Very well, you're dismissed."

The agent left, and he pondered it for a while.  "If the morag tong wish to work for Telvanni, then both factions may die together.  Asthul!  Bring me the leader of house Redoran!"

Raavin, Isaarin's place
Raavin entered Isaarin's office, flanked by two ebony clad bodyguards, he wore a robe himself, which obscured if he wore armor or notm but from his footsteps it was simple enough to tell he was wearing armor-boots or just heavy leather ones.

"Yes, Isaarin?" Raavin asked. "What do you call me here for?"
