The Vizier enter into the world of Ateraan.

The cross road marks four directions to different locations. North is the
coastal road that meanders toward the cliffs that line the ocean shore. Toward
the east leads the west road into the heart of the city of Darmahk. South is the
Pirshah Highway, paved and smooth leading into the Port city of Pirshah. West is
the wood lined street guiding to the harbor and shipyards of Pirshah. Toward the
north is the Lumber Yard.

The Parade is a culmination of servants and slaves giving fanfare to the
Princess of Pirshah, the Vizier to the Overseer of Darmahk. The size of the
parade is enormous with many flag carriers, acrobats, jugglers, fire breathers,
ribbon twirlers, performing along the route.
A large palaquin is carried by twelve muscular slaves carrying the Vizier in a
litter at the front of the Parade. Decorated horses, elephants, and leopards
are led by trainers along both sides of the palaquin while servants follow the
procession tossing flower pedals along the path.
Oros says to Vizier, "Well. No, I suppose The Vizier don't, at that."
Feyre ducks her head to hide a grin at the Vizier's reply.
Fahmi bends her knees and bows her head respectfuly to the princess.
Azria stays near the Squire, her hands folded behind her in partial ease though she is still clearly on guard.
Kildrux smiles at Azria.
Ozza <Knight> the warriors are off to a great start with this
Johrim <Knight> Better them than us
<Knight> Kildrux chuckles roughly, "Hrung is always like this, no social graces."
Xesta's eyes widen a bit as she looks over the gathered, a smile curling her lips and she offers a deep curtsey of respect.
The Vizier smiles as she looks over the parade and then those gathered. She does
not raise her voice, but it reaches to those even in the back, "A fine welcome
from Darmahk. With Nordens in attendance, too?"
Danya curtseys.
Leoxian nods.
Theas bows.
Kaynik smiles at Horse.
Rynna says, "It's so nice to meet The Vizier um lady, i like your hair."
Levina beams excitedly as she looks about over everything to see.
Squire says to Vizier, "That is correct, the Duke sends his blessings and has
sent me to attend on his behalf. It is a pleasure to
meet with The Vizier and I trust everything shall move
nicely."
Kildrux inhales deeply.
The Vizier dips her head to the Squire, "I gladly accept his blessings and am
glad The Vizier were able to attend on his behalf."
Fahmi says, "Greetings my lady. My pleasure to meet your highness."
Orikan rises after a polite bow as he stands off on the side. Calmly crossing his arms,
he spectates from somewhere off to the side.
Colbeh keeps a post close to the Squire and assembled Knights.
Kildrux says to Colbeh, "Follow me."
Fahmi blinks.
The Vizier holds up one hand and turns her attention to Ona.
Spirit totem Wolf looks around at the growing crowd and then up at Wynst.
The Vizier says authoritatively, "Good evening, Emissary. Are any others
expected or shall we move along?"
Dallia arrives from the east.
Wynst looks down at the wolf, nodding and moving to the back away from the crowd.
Dolzbo peers from the Vizier to Ona and back.
Wynst says to Kildrux, "Not fond of crowds."
Ona says, "I this is everyone we should be ready to move along whenever The Vizier are ready."
Squire <Knight> I do have say it is good to see such a show of discipline, I
will be sure to add it in my report. Much better than the
common warrior
<Knight> Kildrux grins, "I mean we're knights."
The Vizier givas a single nod and at a flick of her wrist, the Pirshah servant claps her hands.
Theatrics that never quite stilled take up again as the parade continues to move.
The parade proceeds east with the Vizier carried on the palaquin.
West Road - Sudenland
The west road continues both east and west and becomes more gravel than dirt
as it reaches closer to the ocean and Pirshah. The value in bettering the road
here is evident as it is more smooth and well traveled. The sides of the road
are clear of weeds and brush and debris while the path is more straight. A
crossroads is directly west.
Obvious exits: west and northeast.
Ozza <Knight> Heads up from the warriors, the yare ordering the
gates closed once everyone is inside.
The parade proceeds northeast with the Vizier carried on the palaquin.

Obvious exits: southwest and east.
Kildrux wields steel cudgel {gripped}.
Johrim wields Gold axe {gripped} {sharpened}.
The Vizier laughs lightly at the look of surprise on Fahmi's face, "Everyone gets
caught up in the parade."
Oros <Warrior> Eyes sharp. This route's known for miscreants.
Orikan says to Vizier, "These roads are not known to be safe at all times,
Vizier. They are likely just... prepared."
Hrung tightens a dark cord around his waist calling upon the power of
the raven of Dahkoar for protection.
A dark raven materializes from the cord about Hrung's waist, flies above
him and protects him.
Johrim says, "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best."
Xesta continues walking along in celebration, no armour or weapon necessary, simply festively bouncing along.
Orikan continues walking in just his clothes.
Brendor grins at Xesta.
Dayimo nods in agreement towards Johrim.
Fahmi sniffles.
Gralnok smiles.
Brendor looks at Xesta.
Hrung says, "Hopefully Brersnah does not make an appearance."
Leoxian grins and walks with Xesta, contently.
Fahmi says, "Hope nature will bless."
Arco says to Hrung, "Well now he most certainly will."
Arco sighs at Hrung.
Kildrux asks to Hrung, "The Vizier see the size of this lot?"
Lorsh sighs at Xesta.
Kildrux chuckles.
Rynna hugs Danya.
Lorsh says to Xesta, "I forgot all my instruments."
Xesta bites her lip.
The Vizier holds the parade as everyone prepares.
Xesta says to Lorsh, "I'm so sorry! I don't have any or I'd offer you."
Arco asks to Lorsh, "Want me to get The Vizier my flute?"
Kildrux exclaims, "I shoulda brought my lute!"
Kaynik says, "No, no The Vizier shouldn't have."
Colbeh says, "Anyone stupid enough to attack a party this size deserves whatever happens to them."
Kaynik pats Kildrux.
Xesta just skips along, enjoying the commotion.
Kildrux says to Kaynik, "I'm the best lute player in Gahlen."
Kildrux grins mischievously.
Orikan looks at Xesta.
Navolin says, "Nod when ready so we can move along please..."
Arco says, "Hard not to be the best with a competition of zero."
Kildrux nods.
Elene nods.
Johrim nods.
Lorsh nods.
Elenna nods.
Ozza nods.
Ona nods.
Cayden nods.
Orikan says to Xesta, "Well, at least I'm not the only one getting ready for war."
Colbeh nods.
Kaynik nods.
Hrung grunts.
Quokas nods.
Brendor nods.
Kalisse nods.
Alwar nods.
Levina nods.
The Vizier ask to Kildrux, "Just Gahlen? Not the world?"
Leoxian says, "Goodness."
Kildrux says to Arco, "Oh there are a few others up north."
Brendor chuckles.
Orikan says, "I'm just here to enjoy the parade."
Orikan chuckles.
Arco pats Kildrux.
Taelis nods slowly to Navolin.
Navolin nods with the dip of his head at vizier.
Maaz nods.
Kildrux says to Vizier, "I wouldn't presume that, the whole of Ateraan is large."
Kildrux grins.
Xesta says to Orikan, "Quite the same."
Navolin scouts toward the east, returning successfully with information.
Leoxian agrees with Orikan.
Xesta says, "It's magnificent really."
Lorsh says to Arco, "No, but thank you. I'm not practiced enough with the flute."
Kildrux says to Vizier, "I'm still learning, teachin' myself."
The Vizier says to Navolin, "We will get there when we get there. My slaves are strong."
Arco says to Lorsh, "The Vizier just blow into it. It's easy."
Sevir says, "I ponder if I should not have given the boys the night off."
The parade proceeds east with the Vizier carried on the palaquin.

The west road continues both east and west and becomes more gravel than dirt
as it reaches closer to the ocean and Pirshah. The value in bettering the road
here is evident as it is more smooth and well traveled. The sides of the road

Obvious exits: west and east.
Xesta says to Sevir, "I figured why not."
Xesta looks at soldier Blizzard.
Navolin says to Vizier, "I didn't mean to intrude your honor, just was helping with the flow of things,
my apologies."
Orikan nods at Xesta.
[************--Rumour Monger--************]
Alcissa arrives on Ateraan.
[*****************************************]
Orikan says, "A very spectacular parade. I agree."
The Vizier says, "When The Vizier are best in the world, send me a note."
Lorsh says to Arco, "The Vizier have to blow above it at the right angle. I've got the
fingering down pat, it's the marriage of it and the blowing that trips me up."
Ozza <Knight> guys, best not to rely on the leader shouting incoming attackers.
If we're dealing with assassins they may be hiding. In the event we get attacked, that is
Quokas bites his lip.
Fahmi asks to Danya, "Are we following a map road, dannie?"
Elenna smiles.
Xesta says, "Best in the world at what? I'm the best in the world at many things. Mostly being me."
The Vizier smiles at Kildrux.
Minsen juggles his knife festively alongside the Imperial jugglers.
Leoxian says to Xesta, "Playing the lute."
Kildrux <Knight> watch for shadows
Elene says, "It's a fun paradegrin minsen."
Elene grins at Minsen.
The parade proceeds east with the Vizier carried on the palaquin.
West Road - Sudenland
The west road stretches east and west along the grasslands. The weather is
slightly cooler here as The Vizier near the ocean. Every so often a breeze carrying
the smells and coolness of the sea travels past. To the northeast is evidence
of the Savannah and the sea port of Pirshah lies west near the harbor, while
the cliffs of the ocean meander to the northwest. The lights of the city of
Pirshah glitter toward the southwest.
Obvious exits: west and east.
Arco says to Lorsh, "In the better interest of our present company, I will nod
sincerely and pretend like there aren't a hundred jokes to
make."
Minsen beams at Elene.
Arco nods sincerely.
Rynna says to Vizier, "I like your cats, they're so neet."

my mouth. It is dropped."

Kildrux exclaims, "He's ok though!"
Arco says to Kildrux, "The Vizier share a clan with Brendor."
Xesta says, "There's no such thing as a good pun. The Vizier don't need to put the bad qualifier."
Elene giggles.
Rynna says, " i love bad puns and jokes. they're funny to me."
Kildrux says to Arco, "Yeah, he drives me nuts."
Kildrux chuckles.
Wynst <Shaman> It is interesting the discourse people carry even when company
would incline for less...chatter of mundane things I would think.
Kildrux exclaims, "He's ok though!"
Arco <Shaman> The Vizier must be fun at parties.
Brendor agrees with Kildrux.
Brendor says, "I do drive him nuts."
Wynst <Shaman> I have never been to one.
Kildrux nudges Brendor.
Kildrux grins.
Leoxian <Shaman> it's a parade, I think a quiet trip would be...hmm dreadful
Squire continues on quietly in respect for the parade while keeping her eye out for danger naturally.

way. I did not mean it to.
Xesta turns towards the Vizier, "Has your day been pleasant so far, Princess?"
Colbeh smiles.
Theas protects Levina.
Leoxian <Shaman> it's not insulting. You're fine Wynst
Brendor thanks Theas.
Navolin says to Vizier, "Your honor, when we are all in town safely, I will be
closing the gates. As field militent, to make sure the
citystate of darmahk is safe."
Levina smiles.
Leoxian <Shaman> it's not a caravan, and I think everyone is on edge. If you
can try to relax
Arco <Shaman> Ask Leoxian for a massage.
Theas <Mage> I'm using Brendor as a shield
The Vizier says to Xesta, "It has been, thank you. Though I look forward to our final destination."
Xesta smiles and nods.
Xesta says to Vizier, "I quite agree. It's going to be grand."
<Shaman> Leoxian debates toading Arco in front of the Vizier but that would be
a poor choice
Rynna asks to Vizier, "Is this your first time going to this town?"
<Shaman> Arco agrees
The Vizier says, "Afterall, it was a long journey from Pirshah, despite being carried in this Palaquin."
Weas <Mage> Everyone can rest easy, I am keeping the Tavern safe

decades and is still an established providence of the Empire with support from Darmahk."
Navolin looks at Merek.
Hrung muses in thought.
Merek nods.
The Vizier says authoritatively, "As The Vizier may have noticed, the Captain
and soldiers from Pishah are still the main defense of Ferlada. Many citizens from the Empire traveled to
Ferlada to establish their occupations and build citizenry near Darmahk."

whisper we have heard and think might be true.
Leoxian nods faintly.
<Warrior> Navolin nods

walls already. It would be a very interesting step."

West Road - Sudenland
You stand near the west gates of the city state of Darmahk. The road travels
east into the city and far into the hills and plains of the western expanse.
The road here is often used and shows the wear of time and travel. Many

West Gate - Darmahk
The west gates are formed from two large metal constructions approximately
fifteen feet high and thirty feet wide. They open to allow commerce in and out
of the city and when closed provide a uniform protective barrier connected to
the walls leading north and south. A set of stairs rise up to the walls that
surround the city. A rail support parallels the stairway. The west road
continues out toward hills and plains and to the north entering into Darmahk.
An inscription is burnt into a faceplate of one of the gates. It is marked in
red and crossed spears surround it, giving the faceplate an important visage. A
wooden water trough rests against the wall near a large wood turnstile.

strip until after they're attacked."
Gralnok snorts.
Oros says to Gralnok, "It ain't all of us. Some of us choose to live the simple
life, and just keep our armour on us, as it's meant to
be."

Gralnok grins at Oros.
Feyre says, "Doesn't seem like a big deal either way."

Darmahk - Festival Field
The massive festival field has been transformed by ribbons and banners of
decoration, brightly colored streamers of deep red, and bold gold lining a main
thoroughfare leading from the entrance right up to an enormous pavilion. Regal
seats have been arranged as prominent placement behind a low table, soft
cushions adding comfort to the elegant arrangement where the most honored guests
may recline for the festivities. Smaller pavilions branch off on either side,
enough seating and dining space to fit the general masses. All along the walkway
there are large fabric banners, embroidered with the marks unique to each guild,
while those closest to the seating have been decorated to represent the strength
of Darmahk and Pirshah combined.
Obvious exits: north, west, east and south.

The Vizier smiles up at the Overseer and as he kisses the back of her hand, she dips her head in acknowledgement and formality.
The Vizier says authoritatively, "It is a pleasure to see you again, Overseer. Thank
you for this wonderful welcome."
The Overseer says with power, "We are blessed seven times to have thee here and to
have a Vizier here for our palace. Your mother was wise and generous to have you come."
The Overseer says with power, "With that I will make the formal declaration. If you
would please come forward in the center of this group and kneel."
The Vizier steps into the center of the gathering and with innate grace, she lowers down to both of her knees,
bowing her head before the Overseer.
The Overseer spreads his hands wide and a power decends in a circular pattern around the Vizier.
Xesta's lips split into a wide smile as the Vizier moves, but keeps her eyes
lowered to only observe this.
Merek eventually stands up from the bowing, but his gaze is politely kept to the side, more on the Vizier, as to avoid
the social faux pas of looking at the Overseer.
Alcissa lowers herself to her knees and obases herself before the nobility.
A cadence of voices sounds from the Palace, "Blessed are ye to be ye and be here.
Thy countenance is bolder in the service of the Overseer."
The Overseer says with power, "Sirrah, do ye take this honor to serve my
house, my palace, my people as the left hand of the Overseer. The Vizier of the Palace, in fact?"

The Overseer says with power, "It is with the power vested in me that I grant ye this honor,
Rise Vizier for ye are now the Palace Vizier, left hand to my person."

Xesta's eyes widen and she smiles brightly, clapping her hands together softly in celebration.
The Overseer says authoritatively, "As this is your honor, I know that many have come to honor

The Masterwarden says authoritatively, "I know there are some presentations. Who was to lead this?"
Xesta looks towards Maaz with a proud smile.
Minsen looks at Pazreal.
Maaz lifts a hand, suddenly shy, "I have organized some things for honoring the Vizier."
Minsen smiles at Maaz.
The Masterwarden says authoritatively, "You may begin as you see fit Maaz. Thank you."
Masterwarden nods at Maaz.
Leoxian smiles and looks over towards Maaz.
Kildrux clasps his hands together behind his back, keeping his feet spread and
his posture at ease.
Maaz turns to face the Vizier, bowing deeply to her, "As the leader of Traders
please accept my most sincere welcome to Darmahk! My guild has worked diligently
to present to you a fine feast. Please allow my porters to present one of every
menu item to you, then they will arrange the platters for everyone in the dining
aread to the west."

Darmahk - Festival Field
The massive festival field has been transformed by ribbons and banners of
decoration, brightly colored streamers of deep red, and bold gold lining a main
thoroughfare leading from the entrance right up to an enormous pavilion. Regal
seats have been arranged as prominent placement behind a low table, soft
cushions adding comfort to the elegant arrangement where the most honored guests
may recline for the festivities. Smaller pavilions branch off on either side,
enough seating and dining space to fit the general masses. All along the walkway
there are large fabric banners, embroidered with the marks unique to each guild,
while those closest to the seating have been decorated to represent the strength
of Darmahk and Pirshah combined.
Obvious exits: north, west, east and south.

The Vizier's eyes widen as she takes in the full spread before her.
Xesta chews at her lip as she watches the reaction.
The Masterwarden says authoritatively, "That is quite a bit of food. Well done."
Maaz bows her head, "As the feast begins, I have asked for two of our suden druids to perform a
story telling for your enjoyment."
Maaz nods at Feyre.
Maaz nods at Pazreal.
The Masterwarden smiles at Maaz.
The Masterwarden steps back and watches with interest.
The Vizier says authoritatively, "What a feast, along with a story. This will be wonderful."
Dallia lights up in a proud smile and glances between Pazreal and Feyre.
The Vizier looks at Luxurious darmahkian wine.
Pazreal glances around at everyone as he stands, eyes going from dignitaries and officials. Anyone close to him hears
the words "no pressure..." said probably to himself.
Feyre says, "We welcome you with honor and good will, Vizier. I am Feyre of the
Glass Hawk, and my counterpart is druid Pazreal of Darmahk. We will
be telling you A Traveler's Tale today, inspired by your very
arrival in our fine city."
Pazreal bows his head to the Vizier as his name's mentioned.
With a large, leather bound tome in hand, Feyre steps forward. Upon lifting
the heavy cover of the book, a stray breeze winds its way through hair, and fur,
and fine silks alike to stir the pages of the tome, flipping them rapidly until
they appear to land precisely where she wants them. Anyone close enough to see
the surface of these particular pages will note that they are composed primarily
of pictures with only a few sentences on each page.
The Vizier smiles at the pair of Druids.
Pazreal steps forward at the same time, sorting a few things out in his
pouches and glancing over at Feyre, seemingly preparing for the druidess before
he responds. They exchange brief nods before she begins to speak.
Feyre draws her fingertips over the first page in a moment of quiet
preparation and then begins to speak in clear, slow tones. "A call went out
across the lands: a Princess had arrived. Every city, town, and tribe was
teeming with excitement and activity as each prepared the finest gifts and
offerings to welcome her suitably. And so, amidst this happy chaos, a lone
traveler began his journey." Whiskey eyes tilt sidelong as her attention shifts
to Pazreal, waiting expectantly.
Pazreal had gone back to fussing with his pouches but, on hearing the pause,
glances around and steps forward another pace, a raised hand identifying himself
as this traveler, then nodding quickly to Feyre again.
Feyre continues with eyes on her counterpart, "The lone traveler set off on a
journey to see the Princess' arrival, pondering what a green druid such as
himself could offer someone who surely had everything she might desire. Five
days, he walked along a winding road, and observed the preparations for the
festivities as he did."
The Vizier takes the glass of sweet tea and raises it to her lips. She takes a sip
but her eyes never leave Feyre and Pazreal as they entertain.
The wind stirs the pages of that tome once more, turning one for Feyre as she
narrates, whiskey-gold eyes raising to the Vizier as she speaks, "The traveler
continued his journey to the city, pace quickening as anxiety about his lack of
gift grew and grew. Upon seeing a pair of powerful trolahks making the same
voyage as himself, our traveler's thoughts turned to the mighty Warriors..."
Deia's mossy green gaze focuses on her faithmates as they perform. There is
clear pride on her expression as her dimples are evident in abundance and those
sage orbs glimmer with avid interest.
Pazreal glances off to the side at several warriors in attendance at this
event, finding Cayden and Navolin and Hrung with a nod before he speaks his
thoughts aloud, Were I a great and powerful warrior, I could surely present the
head of a mighty beast I had slain in the Princesss honor.
Cayden looks at Feyre.
Feyre says, "Our young druid pondered this as he knelt along the roadside, his
thoughts wandering away from him as he called on a blessing he had
so often before. Glancing down, he found a curious flower in the
cup of his hands. Not the one he had called for, but one fitting
indeed: a butterfly weed, blood red and yellow hues contrasting
themselves against his dirty palms. Familiar with this flower he
chuckled softly to himself..."
Johrim listens quietly as Pazreal continues his story.
Pazreal says, "Ah, a Bloodflower Yes. A suitable ode to the Guild of Blood, I
will keep this to remind me of their strength and honor."
Pazreal drops a Bloodflower
Elene walks over to stand next to Ozza as she listens.
Feyre says, "He rose once more to continue his journey, still none the wiser as
to what gift a lone druid could present to do the coming day
justice."
The Vizier looks at Bloodflower.
Feyre speaks a little more softly, as if giving voice to a secret. "As the day
of the celebrations drew nearer, so too did our traveler come closer to Darmahk,
his heart pounding double time in his chest. He still had no gift to give at
all. And so he walked, and he fretted, and he fretted as he walked, stopping
only when he noticed a figure nestled deep in a copse of trees nearby. An eerie
purple glow emanated from this place, its source a spectral flame held in the
figure's palm. Something told the traveler he should not approach, and so he
watched from a distance as the mystic engaged in mysteries the traveler might
never understand. But even in this lack of comprehension, there was a sense of
wonder, and so he began to chant... and before him sprouted a curious flower: a
single sprig of eyebright."
Pazreal drops a Ethereal eyebright.
The Vizier looks at Ethereal eyebright.
Understanding dawned on the traveler when he realized the significance of this
flower. "Eyebright..." Pazreal says thoughtfully, "To see further, to see more
clearly, to see things shrouded in mystery. Very good." And so he gathered up
this delicate piece of flora with care and continued on his way.
Feyre turns another page and continues with an increasing sense of urgency
weaving its way into this tale, "Three days remain and our apprentice druid
wanders onwards, inspiration waning with the setting sun as he happens across an
itinerant priest of the Lord Dahkoar. The cleric kneels in prayer at a rest stop
on the road, a veil of shadow stretching across the ground before him. Being a
man who honors the Lord as well as his service to Ateraan, our traveler stops to
join with the priest in prayer..."
Pazreal kneels where he is and lowers his head, "Lord Dahkoar, your wisdom is
as vast as your dominance in these lands. Let me see clearly through your
darkness and expel my ignorance in this task."
Brendor looks at Pazreal.
As Pazreal ends his spoken prayer, Feyre continues, "When his eyes open, they
are drawn down to a single umbral flower growing from the weeds near to where he
knelt. Reaching out to take it, and noting its petals are as dark as the stuff
of shadows themselves, he offers it to the priest who curiously refuses and
tells him to keep it, that it may remind him of the Lord's divinity. He shrugs,
and once rested, continues."
Pazreal drops a Black calla lily
The Vizier looks at Black calla lily
Feyre says, "Upon reaching the grand walls of Darmahk, the traveler passed
through them only to be met by the bustling of citizens left and
right. He noticed most of all the Traders of the city, hard at
work: he could hear the hammering from a nearby forge as weapons
and armours were tended to, smell the tantalizing aromas of food
being prepared, see people running to and fro with beautiful bolts
of cloth and handfuls of brightly colored gemstones." A smile,
small but true, is afforded to those Traders gathered nearby, their
food displayed proudly. "Inspired, he knelt right there at the side
of the street and a flower sprung up from between cobblestones."
Pazreal holds with care a pale yellow lotus in the palms of his hands,
studying it thoughtfully. It was not the flower he had anticipated. He had
expected goldenrod for wealth, or amaryllis for artistic endeavours, but slowly
understanding dawned on him. "Rebirth," he considers the lotus' core meaning.
"What is it that those who create do, if not allow things to be reborn through
their talents by their hands? A fitting ode, indeed."
Pazreal drops a Golden wheel lotus.
The Vizier looks at Golden wheel lotus.
Feyre turns another page and reads from a page without words, guided by the
illustrations rendered upon it, "The traveler begins to feel some panic as the
celebration is today, and all he has is an armful of flowers. He pauses to
reflect on what he saw in his travels: honor and strength, mysticism and
mystery, creativity and prosperity, shadow and dominance. And as he reflects on
the fierceness of this place he calls home, an eye-catching flower sprouts from
the ground right before him, unfurling its leaves and petals before his eyes. He
did not call for it, and yet there it was - exactly what he needed."
Pazreal kneels down on the ground, holding out his hand palm down, making as
if to pluck the flower from the ground before he stops, whispering loudly enough
to be heard in the surrounding area, "Belladonna Nightshade... As beautiful as
you are deadly."
Pazreal turns his hand over and held in his palm is a flower of that very
name. Infamous for its danger, striking in appearance, this flower has earned
its reputation as can be seen in the care with which even experienced druidic
hands bestow upon it.
Pazreal drops a Deadly nightshade.
The Vizier looks at Deadly nightshade.
Feyre watches closely, eyes on the flower as it rests so silently, so
innocently. She continues without looking back at the page, "As our young druid
plucked the flower from its spiritual bed and very carefully placed it with the
others he collected, realization dawned on him that the gift he had spent days
contemplating and seeking was right there in his hands. It had been all along."
The Vizier smiles.
Feyre concludes the narration with a certain seriousness and a quiet pride, "A
bouquet of blooms inspired by the southlands and its peoples. Within it were
ways to strengthen hearts and to stop them; ways to guide the spirit and to grow
it; the means to inspire creativity and to act on it; tools to heal and tools to
harm; ways to dominate one's enemies and to mend one's friends. By placing this
final flower in the bunch - the nightshade, one representing the duality of the
Sudenlands and of Darmahk, a bloom so beautiful and so deadly, this single
bouquet summed up everything he wished to say to a Princess without compare. A
true Vizier." This said, she allows Pazreal to have the final act.
Pazreal gathers the flowers that are laid out before him and quickly arranges
them in a tidy bouquet, picking up the nightshade last of all and adding it
front and center, he takes the remaining steps to stand before the Princess, a
slightly nervous bow as he offers her the gift. "I would strongly recommend you
dont eat the berries on the purple one in the middle, your Highness." a
whispered caution as his eyes lookup at the Princess from the bow.
Pazreal gives a Bloodflower, a Ethereal eyebright, a Black calla lily,
a Golden wheel lotus and a Deadly nightshade to the Vizier.
The Vizier takes the Darmahk-inspired bouquet within her arms and smiles at both
The Vizier inhales the scent of the flowers, pleased with what she finds.
Pazreal bows deeply to the Princess and steps backwards until he rejoins Feyre, taking her hand as he stands beside her.
The Masterwarden smiles at Pazreal.
Maaz claps her hands together with enthusiastic applause.
Fahmi looks at Fahmi.
Feyre takes Pazreal's hand, warm and familiar, and guides him into a bow with
him as the tale concludes.
Arco claps.
Pazreal and Feyre.
Colbeh smiles.
Dallia beams happily and claps for her fellow druids.
Feyre cannot help but to share a rare grin, tapered ears turning a little red.
Levina smiles.
Minsen smiles.
Fahmi smiles.
The Vizier says authoritatively, "Thank you for the beautiful flowers and the entertaining story.
It was well done and a truly inspiring representation of your guild and paths."
Pazreal bows deeply again, Feyre lowering with him in acknowledgment of the praise.
Feyre bows to Vizier in quiet thanks.
Raiden the tiger stretches.
The Masterwarden says authoritatively, "Enjoy the continuance of the event Vizier Siirah. I must go
to the palace but will return."
The Masterwarden and two palace guards leave north.
Maaz bestows a grateful smile towards Feyre and Pazreal, admiration evident in
her expression as she continues, "In line with their gift, please allow the
other guild representatitves to likewise bestow their well wishings upon you."
Looking at the crowd she asks, "I believe Cayden presents for the Warriors."
Azria has reconnected.
Cayden steps forward respectfully and bows at the waist in greeting. As he
rises he speaks, "Since long before they were a guild in Darmahk, the Warriors
were a poweful tribe, who used the laws of the hunt as a guide to craft and hone
themselves into mighty strategists and battlemasters. As such, the traditions
that crafted the warriors of the past are the foundation from which we continue
to forge new Blood and new brethren. The oldest and mightiest symbol of this
grand tradition of the hunt is the warrior's spear. Each warrior learns to not
only wield one but craft one, so that no two spear is truly alike. To that end,
the tribe of Blood gifts to you this spear. While ornamental in design it is
crafted to be just like our battle spears: unique and steeped in tradition. We
hope you would honor us by accepting this token of our admiration."
Cayden looks at Wood warrior spear.
Cayden gives a Wood warrior spear to the Vizier.
The Vizier looks at Wood warrior spear.
Cayden steps backwards with another respectful bow.
Vizier takes the spear in both of her hands and inspects it slowly. She lifts her gaze and smiles at Cayden and the other Warriors.
The Vizier says authoritatively, "An honorable gift and one I shall cherish. Thank you, Tribe of Blood."
Cayden smiles gratefully.
Maaz beams brightly.
Leoxian smiles.
Dolzbo lowers his head to the Vizier.
Navolin nods to the vizier, grabbing his own spear tightly from within his hands.
Hrung grunts and thumps his own spearbutt on the ground.
Maaz offers from her position, "I believe next we have Kalisse of the Shaman to present their welcoming gift."
Masterwarden <Southland> The Overseer is pleased with all of the work and
protection and welcome you have given to the Vizier. Well done, continue with honor.
Pazreal listens to the account accompanying the fine gift attentively, nodding
along with the warrior leader.
Kalisse steps forward and sinks into a deep curtsy before the Princess, her
head bowed respectfully. She rises and then smiles as she nods toward those of
the Collective also in attendance, pausing to allow for them to do the same.
Feyre studies the wood Warrior spear with deep interest for a few moments longer before
shifting her attention to watch Kalisse.
Moving forwards with her wolverine, Zaraia would give a bow to the Vizier and stand beside Kalisse.
Followed behind by the large Elephant spirit, Leoxian takes a step forward as
Kalisse hands moves forward He bows lowly and respectfully as he tucks his hand
towards his chest for the Vizier. In imitation of Leoxian's actions, the spirit
curls its trunk and bows his large head in respectful homage, his ears fanning
out as he does so, only to both take a step back towards the crowd.
Wynst moves forward slightly, bowing deeply, before stepping back once more.
Arco lowly bows to the Vizier.
While paying attention to all and nodding, the Vizier gives a little smile to the bowing elephant.
Everyone now settled, Kalisse says in a soft voice to the Princess, "Your
grace, please accept these gifts from the Shaman Guild of Darmahk as tokens of
our warmest welcome."
Kalisse gives a Wood keepsake box to the Vizier.
Navolin returns to his original position.
Kalisse gives a Shamanic pentacle pendant to the Vizier.
Kalisse gives a Shamanic robe to the Vizier.
Vizier looks at Wood keepsake box.
Kalisse smiles.
Azria stops guarding you.
The Vizier slowly, and with great care, inspects each gift, her smile growing as she does so.
Vizier looks at Shamanic pentacle pendant.
Vizier looks at Shamanic robe.
Kalisse smiles a little wider too.
Vizier holds her hand out with the palm up and focuses.
A low burning purple flame expands and burns in the center of Vizier's hand.
Vizier smiles through the flame and nods her head to the Collective.
Orikan glances at the flame, "Well, that was unexpected."
Kalisse brightens at the appearance of the purple flame.
Cayden grins.
Vizier (holding a burning flame).
The Vizier says authoritatively, "Most revered symbols of the Lord of Darkness. These gifts are
priceless and are fine representations of Dahkoar. I am blessed by your gifting of them and thank you."
Levina smiles.
Trok bows low again and steps back. "Youa re most welcomee, Vizier."
Maaz beams a radiant smile at Trok, then bows before the Vizier once again.
"To finish the giving of gifts, please accept these humble tributes from my
guild of Traders. We wished to honor you beyond the feast, and I hope the items
are a pleasant compliment to your wardrobe."

Feyre watches on admiringly, giving a little nod to Maaz.
Xesta says, "Our Tradesmistress Maaz is responsible for these most amazing
designs, Vizier. It is an honor to be able to present the talent
within our guild."
Pazreal says, "A rare talent."
Leoxian smiles at Xesta.
Pazreal smiles at Maaz.
Leoxian smiles at Maaz.
Kaynik smiles.
Feyre nods in agreement.
Maaz blushes happily, bowing her head before she speaks up, "We have also
fashioned commemorative pins for everyone else gathered. Please feel free to
take one with you if you should like a momento of this honored day!"
Pazreal asks to Maaz, "You just threw those together while organizing the whole event?"
The Vizier says authoritatively, "Primal and elegant, feminine and fearsome all at once.

get one, let me know and I'll make you one!"
Maaz says, "I will craft one as well if anyone would like and misses out on the
supply here."
Fahmi thanks Maaz.
The Vizier rises to her feet.
The Vizier looks at Darmahk honored pin.
This commemorative pin has been intricately carved out of polished ivory,
enhanced by tiny gemstones that artfully depict a scene beneath the gleam of
transparent resin. Perhaps twice the size of a crown coin, the pin is decorated
as a brilliant red dragon, wings spread wide, head held proud as it gazes out
from the confines of this decorative adornment. As dragons are wont to do in
fantasy tales, this bold creature holds within his grasp a golden shield,
embossed with the royal emblem of the Pirshian empire. The coveted treasure is
clearly of great importance and meaning, secured in a near loving embrace by the
deadly beast. A long stretch of parchment scroll unfolds below the perch, upon
this blank expanse a delicate script reads, 'Welcome the Vizier 1522'.
Clothing Designed by Maaz.
Vizier <World> Glorious Darmahk, led by the Grand Overseer, your welcome this
evening is beyond words. The most beautiful, treasured of gifts
from each guild to the story and feast. I am honored to serve as
the Left Hand of the Grand Overseer.
Feyre says, "These will make fantastic memories, and will be worn with pride. Thank you."
Kildrux looks at Kittra.
Brendor smiles.
Dolzbo says, "It goes perfectly with my armour."
Sorceress <World> Well well well, little sister. Isn't it nice that mum sent you
all the way to Darmahk to serve the Overseer. I wonder what
you did to grant such an honorific to an untalented princess?
Maaz exclaims, "If anyone else had brought gifts to present the Vizier, now
would be the perfect time!"
Leoxian hmms.
Kalisse blinks.
Kildrux scowls.
Fahmi blinks.
Hrung muses in thought.
Theas peers about.
Vizier <World> Tiirah, the order of our birth is unknown, you know this well.
Vizier's lips draw into a straight line.
Kildrux scowls.
Maaz bites her lip.
Sorceress <World> I only know that I am the talented one between us. And I left
to serve the true King of the Southlands. Honor to the
Warlord. You are nothing but a second thought. It is I who
should have come to instruct and assist. It is I who am the
one with power!
"Sisters," Feyre intones dryly. "Am I right?"
Ozza says, "Putting business out on the world link... Classy."
Xesta frowns deeply.
Fahmi blinks.
Rynna says, " yeash, someone isn't to happy."
Borgan hmms.
Rynna says, " they're jellous."
Raiden the tiger licks his paw.
Deia shifts her weight uncomfortably, glancing to her side.
Maaz whispers to Navolin.
Azria hmms.
Vizier <World> How dare you claim such! You didn't leave Pirshah, the Empress
removed you for your actions.
Colbeh muses in thought.
Navolin whispers to Maaz.
Vizier says, "My twin sister."
Maaz nods at Navolin.
The Vizier says, "She lost favor a long time ago with the Empress."
Xesta asks, "Pray tells, what were her actions?"
Navolin asks to Vizier, "Perhaps some scouting from the blood and military is in
ordre in case she sends people on the western roads?"
Ozza asks, "I thought the gates were shut?"
Vizier says, "I should not have to tell. She will show her true self here soon
enough, if she has not already."
You notice a crackling of energies near the tower of the Fortress.
Ozza says, "Hells..."
Oros says, "Yeah, we'll see this comin' a desert away."
Dolzbo says, "The gates are closed."
Leoxian hmms.
Navolin leaves north.
Orikan says, "I don't think those with mystic powers are going to be stopped by
a gate."
Kildrux says to Dolzbo, "I'm thinkin that might not matter."
Theas moves his hands in a circular motion and begins chanting. Strange
glowing crystals start to materialize between his hands and spin in a hypnotic fashion.
Brendor grins at Orikan.
Ona grins at Orikan.
Ozza says, "In case we get all our strength sapped in advance, food will not
help you."
Azria looks at the Vizier.
Zaraia says, "I think you are correct."
Sorceress <World> Mother didn't know talent when she saw it, she was jealous and
such...
Fahmi says, "Hope she won't."
Navolin <Militia> the eastern gate is closed once more.
Lorsh sighs.
Leoxian asks, "Should we tell her if she fails what the Warlord does to his magi?"
Leoxian coughs into his hand.

Navolin grins at Leoxian.
Rynna hugs Fahmi.
Leoxian follows Xesta.
Dolzbo looks at Dolzbo.
Fahmi hugs Rynna.
Spirit totem Elephant unlinks with Leoxian's spirit and disappears.
Orikan says, "We should probably just leave it to the politicians. Otherwise I'm
good for protecting someone and killing someone. Or religious
things. I hear that I'm pretty good with religious things."
Brendor pets Panther.
Vizier <World> You do not deserve to speak of the Jewel of Pirshah. Your greed
and lack of honor are hardly a talent. You would do well to watch
your tongue, sister.
Ozza says to Orikan, "I would hope so."
Xesta says, "If something were to happen... we have supplies in the den storage
room. We can open it as necessary."
Sorceress <World> Silence speaker of lies or feel my wrath!
Minsen peers about.
Cayden stretches out languidly.
Dolzbo takes a guard position near the Vizier.
Merek <Knight> Not sure.
Johrim looks at Elenna.
Ozza says, "Any chance she could fire a bolt or some such out of that tower? A
gate might not stop her, but a roof might."
The Sorceress coalesces a massive meteor above her head and sends it
streaking across the sky toward Vizier!
Merek <Knight> I enjoy them TAUNTING the sorceress to come.
Xesta looks at Vizier.
A massive meteor sent by Sorceress flies into the area and careens into Vizier
exploding with titanic force. she is crushed under the awesome might and power
of this flying rock from the heavens!

Leoxian grins.
The Vizier moves her hand in a circle. The air sizzles and a strange
dimensional plane opens as energies shape into a vortex targeting the Sorceress!
Oros says, "Puny meteor."
Leoxian says, "All that, for a drop of blood."
The Vizier sends a spiraling energy vortex through a cosmic plane to explode
into Sorceress with the concussion of a sonic boom!
Sorceress shouts, "Aiiieeeeeee!"
Cayden says, "She didn't sound happy."
Colbeh says, "The outcome was never in doubt."
Vizier <World> Your power is weak. Cease your foolishness!
Navolin says, "She sounded in pain. maybe she knows she's about to die."
Leoxian says, "Because that is the true might of the cosmos of a truly skilled shaman."
Ozza <Knight> This magic combat stuff is a bit far out of our league. I really
wish we had ways of combatting it or nullifying it
Navolin looks at Vizier.
Rynna hugs Fahmi.
Rynna hugs Danya.
