Session 47: An Interlude of Answers Report
General Summary
The Scales took their week to persue their own goals. Adalon completed his work as a Drake Rider and fully bonded with his new mount. The Scales Leutenants returned from Clan Radiance to report the Holy Empire had been making overtures that the Grand Patriarch of the Azanarian faith found in the Holy Empire is the voice of Brahmarius on Eraneth in the absence of the Dragons. It is clear the connection between these two eclisiastical entities was strong before this and the ties being drawn tighter. The Scales expressed their concerns of this potential shift in powers in the area, but, also looked to their own frame work of an alliance between the emerging City States from the former Dragon Clans of Ioban.
This work put aside they sent word to Clan Moonfrost that they would be arriving. The following day they were met by Zanidira the ambassador they had met previously. She brought the scales to a comfortable meeting room, food was arrayed for them upon arrival as she entertained the party. Zanidira would let them settle in before getting to the heart of the matter, "To what do we owe this visit from the Scales of Fate?" A'lar would clear his throat after sipping some wine, "Well you see, we are concerned about Dark Groves actions, and beleive we can remove the leverage they have with the Rutheni. Zanidira would tilt her head with a curious look, "And I am most curious how you intend to accomplish that here?" A'lar would smile, "Well you see, she is offering them items that remain in her ancient hoard here, long since forgotten. If we can claim those things before she can, she will have nothing to pay the Rutheni. "I see, so you wish permission to seek her ancient lair from us," Zanidira would nod along understanding. Zanidira would shift the subject to her own purposes, "Have you heard of the Argentumfrost Dominion?" The Scales would all shake their heads that they had not. "It is the unification of the Northern Clans, the Silver and White Dragons clans have formed together along the Northern mountain ranges." Adalon would lean forward now, "ALL the Silver clans?" She would frown and shake her head, "No, we were not consulted...something you should consider in your future planning's." Zanidira would stand leaving them to their lunch and further discussions.
The Scales would next be visited by the Princess Elysia. She would press her interest for Moonfrost to Join the Scales budding alliance, feeling her fathers more passive approach was an anthesis to what Clan Moonfrost was founded for. Indalell would take a particular liking to the Princess and would spend the next several days in conversation with her. the following day the Scales would meet with King Elwald. His throne room was plane as such places went, not projecting the usual wealth and power found in Draconic influenced courts, but a simple, almost scholastic feeling as the older Human sat the throne. The Scales were granted permission to research their archives for any information concerning ancient lairs and Moonfrosts early colonization efforts. His only ask of the Scales was that anything found would be brought to him first, they agreed. The next several days were spent combing thru the archives to find anything of value concerning the ancient Matrons lair hidden deep in the forests of Moonfrost lands and the arrival of many strange and curious gifts. Longwei would give to A'lar a great guitar made of Steel, Ayrien would find a magical Yurt erected in her rooms after a long day of research, Indalell some runes beneath his pillow to augments his abilities, and Ismaril a great center, Adalon however was proving difficult for Longwei to shop for. Before long their labors bore fruit, and an expedition was assembled to find this ancient Dragon Lair, and Tomb.
