Imre's tower sets sail with paladins of Neela providing security.

Oathar and Haeraan head to Haalkataine and look for Loremaster Ren Thrasic. When we get there, we find that he's deep in conference with Anton and Elor. We're invited in. Anton thinks there' somethign we need to know here, while Elor wants to brief us. He appraises us of lugraki movements. They've moved north and basically abandoned the capital area. The arming of the Zorians has lead to a number of confrontations between Rahkani and Zorian troops all along the borders. Mostly scattered, but growing. Mostly in Kyrik's zone. Gerund has been informally promissing land in that territory to some of his nobles to compensate them for other failings...

We get on to the original purpose. The cloudlords have an ambassador here. They helped the Rahkani with an invasion a few years back and have generally a good relationship with the Rahkani. The ambassador's name is T'Lan Norain. They are fairly secretive and have a very complex political structure. The current head is T'Kal Norain. He's been attempting to modernize and bring Tanara out of isolationism. He's even tried to reforms like freeing the Myri. The other lords are reluctant to give up their life of leisure. His position is thus endangered. Not all of his positions and reforms have worked as well as he's hoped.

Elor shows us out. He'll be at Prevan's villa this evening. We're shown out.

Back in Selkai, a brother of the temple of Kieron shows up at the villa and is shown to Kyrik. They wanted to consult him on the issue of shipping his Kieronalia statue be shipped to Dynax to assist in the porn wars. It will be placed in the central courtyard of the temple down there and inspire them in the struggle against Moralis. Kyrik agrees and they prepare to move the temple.

We all head to the Prevan villa for the party that evening. Yay! Alynna disguises herself as Arisia, since she's probably not supposed to be here. We greet people and then Elor comes over and says, "You are not prepared. But you will be will you not?" We agree. "Know this, you will get a second chance, but not a third." He doesn't come across with the details though. He expects in a month or so. Elor tells Haeraan that the duke here has a number of troops that need some coordination. They get down to business and go over Rahkani coordination signals, etc. He goes into the while OrBat and gets it out of Haeraan.

Oathar needs to go get a couple of airships to deploy the Zorians/Bugs.

Prevan suggests we bribe people and seduce the emperor to get more troops.
