As are heroes walked to the dining hall Railof was the firs to ask his king
My king what re we doing

Rognar looked to his friend and said
I know but this is a opportunity this queen can help us whit are task by giving us permission to scout here lands
O I see get permission to do are task unbothered by patrols I mast say my king I that diplomacy isn't your strong side
Said Railof
Of course, it is Elasif did teach me some stuff what you thought I do all day just drink and fight.
Said Rognar ho turned to see his 2 daughters laughing at the back
O please father you du most of your diplomacy while drunk
Said Sofie
Yes remember when you knock out that Dark Elf lord for beating you in drink off and later we found out that he is the Prince of Morrowind
Said Lucia
Rognar some with embarrassed said
For your information I knew that he was the prince of Morrowind and he pissed me of when he said that no human can outdrink or fight a Dark Elf.
With this statement all 3 asked the same question to them self's
How is he are King?
Rognar and his 3 companions approached the dining hall as they entered they were meet by queen Anora
King Rognar you and your family and friend have join us it is an honar
Come be seated and if you don't mind me asking you some questions?
Rognar expecting this said
Of course Queen Anora you may asked me anything you wish me and my companions have some questions as well
Of course King Rognar it will be my pleasure I must ask you about your land
Said Anora
Wery well I will tell you about my land but tell me about yours
As the 2 monarchs started to tell there storis
Anora for her part was shocked when hearing about the Empire the 9 divines and the Deadric princes she also cant believe that Magic was not a taboo but encouraged
The thot of Mages holding office and being lords was like Tevinter she turned to Rognar and asked
I cant believe it a hole continent under one banner and no circles how can this be and you say that there are different races of Elves ho have Kingdoms and the Empress is a 130 year old Elven mage and a race of Lizard and Cat people
No this cant be real can it
Whit that it was Lucia ho had it and said
Do you fear magic so
Magic is a gift not course I don't know this land queen but you shod know that you are in the presets of 3 very strong spell casters and in our land as well the hole continent Humans, Elf and Beast Folk are equal
And I don't know how do you look at your self in the mirror knowing that these Templars take children from there Families and Locked them up
Whit those words Anora hung here head in shame she had seen the Templars are capable of
But even a King and Quenn don't have the authority to stop them than she remember what Lucia said
3 spell caster do you mean?
Are you a ….
Lucia looked at the Queen and smiled she raised her hand and fire started to come out of it
Yes my father and sister are called spell swords and I am called a shadow blade and in our entire Empire everybody knows magic some just don't bother using it
Anora couldn't believe this this people this king was a mage but the diplomat in her came out she knew that this empire if angered would destroy Fereldan like that and the knowledge that everybody knows magic makes a bigger thread but if this empire was to be an ally it would secure Ferelden's independence and prosperity
My dear lady I am sorry I know hove you feal I to had cousin ho I loved like sister taken when here magic shoved for my part I apologise but I don't have authority over the Templars there power comes from the Chantry and the Divine
But you are guests in this land and I would like to send an envoi to your kingdoms and empire to let them know that we are peaceful people
Rognar hearing this knew that this is his chance and said
Wery well you may send a envoi whit us but I must ask something in return
We want to explore your kingdom map it and we want your permission to travel freely thru Fereldan
Anora hearing this said
Yes I will give to you Rognar here let me shou you a map and you can decide where to start
Erlina brig me a map of the Kingdom
After a feu moments Erlina came back whit a large map as she put ti on the table they study it and Anora told them about the major towns and city's of Ferelden she also told them about the Darkspawn in the south and tells them to go there to meet her Husband and Father
Rognar decided that the best plan is to split up but one should remain the capital to get more info as he decided he said
Ok we will be splitting up but we will meat here in 12 days in this village calde Lothering
Lucy you will go there first and gather as many info about this war
Railof you will go here to Redclife and make contact whit this Arl Eamon
I will be going to Highever and make contact whit tern Cousland
And you Sofy will stay her and meat us in Lothering in 2 weeks
As morning rouse Sofie bid farewell to her father, sister and friend and went to the palace as she was walking in the Palas, she overheard the Guard Captain speaking whit the Queen
Are you shore Captain no proof whatsoever
Said Anora
Yes my queen that basterd is smart he knows that we suspect him
Said the Captain
Sofie listen to the conversation decided to step in
Problems your majesty?
O princess Sofie well yes we do have a bit of a problem you se a week or ago a elven woman was fund dead she vas beaten and reaped my guards are investigating the situation and have as suspect but we can't find strong prof of his crimes
Said Anora
O really and ho do you suspect ?
Said Sofie
The Arl of Denerim Vaughan
Said Anora
Really well that's interesting but if I my ask my lady I that that you were the ruling Lord of the city?
Said Sofie
Well yes and no I am the Queen but as I told you last night we weren't always a kingdom when we got our independence from The Orlesian Empire the old Arl of Denerem vas one of the most crucial allis we had and for his services we didn't merge the title of king and Arl of Denerim
Said Anora
I see so his son is causing problems if you went I can investigate myself and see if I am correct he knows your guards but not me
Said Sofie
Ok Princess I exapted your help but know this the elves don't trust us humans they live in the alienage they are very poor and I do feel sorry for them my husband and me have a plan to tear the walls of the alienage and make shore that all of our people are treated whist dignity and respect but if this is Ishu is not settled I believe that the elves will trust us less and even begin to riot.
Said Anora
Sofie looked in to the Queen s eyes and saw that she is telling no lay and turned to the captain and asked
Captain tell me do you now a Elven pickpocket whit dark short hair and a scar on his left cheek
O no please don't tell me that Darrian is at it again I warned him if he gets caught again that I will throw him in prison this time
Said the Captain
O you know him yes, I have meet him let's just say he isn't the best thief and after I let him go and didn't cut his head of I say he owes me favour so I will start whit him if he knows something
Said Sofie
Wery well his full name is Darrian Tabris and if you don't find him aske his cousins Soris and Shianni.
