Mordain watched Mordus leave. That one needs to learn to control his hatred. He turned to a guard. "Bring the council back in, and have this messenger taken to the healers." The guard did as instructed; he went and ushered the lords and ladies back into the room. Moments later, severl guards and helped the fear-struck messenger from the room. Once they were gone, the doors were closed. "Mordus has been dispatched to Kuren. Soon, we will know what has transpired there." Everyone looked as if they wanted him to say more, but he didn't. He turned and sat in a seat at the back of the room, deep in thought. |

"Stand against me if you must, for of course you will. Conflict is just another part of this flawed reality. You need to cling to your concepts and purposes, your feeble honour and glory. None of it serves any purpose in the end. And the end draws close." - Krodalis Thaendil. "It really is amazing; she killed Kelan Wealer, not that I am complaining, but then the order welcomed her as their new leader. It makes one wonder if I were to ram a blade down her throat, would the monks then follow my commands?" - Mordain Thaendil. One of the Last Guardians. Suck it. | |

-Entering from Ordail- Lathaon's eagle descended in a circle around the Mystic Tower, tilting almost ninety degrees. He held tight and let the mount finally land near the tower entrance. After dismounting, he called out to Ariakas "Follow me. I really need to find out what the situation is around here." |

Ariakas simply nodded, dismounted and followed Lathaon across the courtyard and into the keep. |

Guards quickly grouped around him as he and Ariakas entered the building. An Order scribe was waiting around near the entrance, and as he noticed Lathaon, he jumped to attention. "Milord! Milord!" he said as he came as close as he dared to the guards around him. "Lord Haidas has assembled the council!" "Ah. Thank you for telling me." Lathaon headed towards the council room. |

The doors swung open for the archmage and he proceeded through into the council room. |

Ariakas followed the archmage through the room. He kept behind Lathaon all the time since he needed to tread careful now. He saw Mordain standing on the right side of the table. Closer he recognized the face of Haidas, and also saw a women he managed to identify as Arhaina, the wife of Lathaon. Except those he could only identify around half of those represent in the chamber. Eben was not here, and neither was Drairan although the latter was a good thing. |

Mordain saw his cousin entered. Quickly, he walked around the table to stand beside him. "My Lord, I regret to inform you that Kuren was attacked. Word reached us only recently and I have sent Mordus to investigate and report back." |

Ariakas completely forget how many could see him. His mouth fell open, and he looked at suprise at Mordain. Kuren? Why? Then he remembered where he was and quickly shut his mouth. This was a most unusual lack of self-control, and he hoped not to many had noticed and would ask questions. |

Lathaon turned first to the sitting council members, stepped aside and said "This is Loremaster Ariakas, ambassador of the White Realm." He then turned back to Mordain. "How? Has the Great Wall already been breached?" |

Ariakas smiled. Ambassador, he thought, well it was not the words Lathaon had used when he asked for one. |

Mordain shook his head. "No, my Lord; the Wall still stands. I... I don't know what has happened." |

"Greetings, Ariakas," said Haidas, standing. "Take a seat. The way we work is simple. When you have something to say, you stand." He sat down again and pointed out the nearest empty seat. "This is grave news indeed, Mordain," said Lathaon. "But... you sent Mordus? Why? If the attack has been successful, and I would not doubt that, he will be terribly upset... We need to know how they have managed this attack so we can defend in the future. Can you expect him to concentrate on these matters if his hometown has been burnt to the ground?" |

Ariakas nodded as Haidas addressed him. Luckily Haidas did not recognize anything about his face. It was after all many years ago. |

"How long until the Great Wall falls?" Lathaon asked, his question directed at no particular person. "They are only attacking in smaller waves, scaling the wall with undead beasts," Haidas said. "Though they have the strength to quickly overwhelm our forces, should they be ordered to with any higher number." "So they are taunting us," said Lathaon, irritated. "Picking off our men little by little, when we know they could breach the wall." |

"Hmm," said Lathaon. "I say we should use this time to evacuate Ataya, remove as many artefacts as possible from the Tower, and burn our dead. Then, we gather as much of our forces as possible and meet them before they can push further through Weissland." |

Mordain grabbed his cousin's arm and pulled him over to the side of the room. He leaned closer, his voice hushed so that no other could hear. "Are you sure you want to empty the vault? The darker powers of this world would know if we did, and there are things held within that should never leave." |

"Mordain, I have seen the most restricted parts of the tower, seen things which have not been touched for centuries. I understand the risk in removing things from the tower and I can say that I would sooner take that risk than let the Great Necromancer get his hands on them," Lathaon said confidently. "Anything dangerous which we cannot remove, must be destroyed." Realising he could talk to Mordain without others hearing, he added in a barely audible whisper "I am also seriously considering teaching some of the Mage Lords the Forbidden Lore." |

Shock flashed across Mordain's hidden face. "Lathaon, it is forbidden for a reason! What little you and I may know of it must not be passed on. We chose to learn what we did, and we accepted that such power is not to be shared amongst others. It is an evil magic my Lord; I beg you not to begin down that road, as there is only darkness at the end." |
