Pabs117: Oh yes, we will see how Ezran is doing.

Kyreg: When he was doing that thing, when he was casting the spells, I believe that when we saw him draw the spell and cast it, we were too far to him his bug speak the trigger words, and when we were close enough, there was so much noise that it was impossible to hear the trigger words. Yes, Callum is going to learn all the Arcanum's in this book.

The Elven Warlords

Kolvar advanced down a small path, his eyes falling upon a small fortress built into the side of a volcano. He smiled at the sight of his home. As he came to a stop before the large gates, he glanced up to see one of his servants standing tall. "Master Kolvar, you've return early." He said, opening the gates.

Kolvar entered the fortress, his eyes glancing over towards the few men who stood around. "Has Mistress Eletha given us new orders?" The servant asked, coming to a stop before Kolvar.

Kolvar looked to the side for a few seconds. "Our dear Lady has given orders that are being seen through by a few other assets of mine." He answered, walking towards a small throne room. Within, he found his throne resting, just the way he'd found it.

"Master, you have returned." Another Elf greeted, bowing before Kolvar.

Kolvar smirked at their obedience. It was one thing for him to be a servant of Eletha, but to own his own small faction of Elves was another. The Sunfire Renegades, his personal faction were deadly warriors who served him alone.

Resting upon his throne, he glanced up towards the others. "Inform me of what's transpired since I was gone." He ordered, watching as his servants quickly moved out.

Rayla had a bad feeling, she couldn't quite place what it was that gave her such a bad feeling. But watching Callum sleep peacefully calmed her mind. She was grateful for the small break that had come in the last week, she'd been sure to give her two students time to relax and reread over what they've learned.

Flardryn had also given Callum a bit of time off, and so, the two had decided to explore the city and help out where they could. But the feeling that they were being watched couldn't be shaken of them so easily.

Her mind drifted away to the most recent events, more so, events that had decided she needed to return to the Storm Spire with her students and finish their Dragonguard training there. Recent information had worried many other Elves, news of Warlords rising had spread far and wide.

According the many rumours surrounding the Warlords, they were tired of the old ways, tied of humans as a whole. She had a deep suspicion that Eletha was one of these Warlords. And if she wasn't one of them, she might be their leader.

Shaking her thoughts aside, she quickly glanced down at Callum. He was going to remain in Lux Aurea for a few more weeks to finish his training. It pained her that they would be separated again, but she understood the concern held by the Dragon Queen. If one of these Warlords decided that the she was in the way and had to be eliminated, she'd need guards to help protect her.

Flardryn ponded the many thoughts, shifting through report upon report, rumour upon rumour. He was determined to find out all he could about these Elven Warlords, who were they? how many followers they had? Every question about them had to be answered.

Deep down, he had a feeling that his own cousin was one of the Warlords. He knew that Janai wasn't happy about the recent events either. There was a war coming to Xadia, a civil war may very well be in the works.

The castle of Katolis was silent, Ezran sat, rereading the letter over and over. "Elven Warlords." He said, confused and slightly concerned by this news sent to him by the Dragon Queen. "I thought all Elves were peacefully." He went on.

The others in the room shrugged their shoulders. "Whatever the case, we should bring Prince Callum back here at once. If Xadia falls into a civil war, I don't want him to be at the centre of it." Opeli said.

Ezran shook his head. "I don't think it would be wise to draw him away. It's as much his fight as it is the Dragons." He replied, watching one of his trusted advisors closely.

Opeli nodded. "With all due respect, he is only human, a human who has no right to interfere with the Xadian politics." She replied.

Ezran raised an eyebrow. "Whatever the case, Callum is an ally to the Dragon Queen, we are an ally to the Dragon Queen. Pulling Callum away from Xadia could be seen as a sign of hostility. What would they think if we pulled back all support from Xadia just because there might be a civil war?" He asked, heavily emphasising the might.

Opeli glanced at the other members of the council before nodding. "I understand King Ezran." She said.

Kolvar smirked ever so slightly. "So, Warlord Vaeri seeks to gain the support of the Dragon Queen already. Send a message to her informing her that it would be in vain. She has already refused to support Warlord Eletha." He said.

"As you command master."

Yeah, Xadia has few political issues at the moment.
