I try to separate my original upbringing from my situation now, there is a member of the gold administration present among my friends. This is difficult for me, but racism isn't going to help me get information about the missing women. Mercury is the child of judge Titus Tillius. A high member of the gold administration. They do not in fact know about the kidnappings
Whilst I explain the situation they seem to connect the dots. Elven women are being kidnapped because they hold all the magical power in the court of gems. ( them realizing this may be my fault because i talked about the magic mothers )
In conclusion, the humans want to posses the feminine power within the court of gems whilst Bialaer wants to breed the magic power into men.
Gotumir squishes a rat to death all over our breakfast... after that I go to convince the guards that the prisoners should be allowed to help work on the crane project instead of just sitting there and doing nothing.
Suggesting that this action would free up time for the guards to preform more important duties helped sway the man on Tharian's side, after Vorraks man already agreed wholeheartedly that it would be better for them to earn their keep. I'm not sure how the prisoners themselves feel about helping, but I'm guessing that the engineers and other workers will treat them better than the guards in this part of the camp.
Mercury makes a schedule for the workers so that they can work more efficiently. This schedule also clearly provides the prisoners some kind of safety from Tharian's crazy whims and conspiracy level suspicions about them.
