Meeting Prince Douche-bag

After leaving Hope and hitching a ride to Muirthenme,
 
Forbear has called us into a squalid little tavern, and let us know it is finally time to meet with the Imperial Crown Prince of the Cath Bruig. Max respect is to be utilized while meeting this hallowed personage. Agrippa "his illustrious Majesty" is the heir to the throne, and commands the military. Six Heron guard accompany him at all times, although I do wonder if he is ever allowed to even bed a wench with less than three. I understand there is also one Crane in his entourage.
 
Client lords from the west, high command of the military, and high council of the Avatara. It sounds like Forbear will be doing all of the talking for us, we are jsut here to look pretty. The military lords are not here.
 
The Prince has arrived, and seems to have caught the eye of Lady Grey.
The Prince demands to know why these traitors have been brought before him. He goes on to drill poor Delathar with questions about the
He went on to bitch and whine about these pitiful Thelari refugees being descended from really bad people in the past. Apparently a very bad mage went in to their kingdom like 1000 years ago and took the Dream of Unlife. Bal'al-the-bad-mage went to pester the Trow folks and so the Trow like came back and sank their land? I'm getting confused, starting to find the dust motes in the air more interesting than this droning lecture. Zarzarian has attempted to reason with this Dardanos fellow on behalf of these refugees.
 
Geoffery Volsung has swaggered in, finally, and given refuge to the refugees in his land. As a penalty for doing the right thing, Forbear has been excommunicated from the Heron Guard, and sentenced to becoming a wandering madman. Curses, I feel as though those dust motes and Lord Volsung's buttocks have distracted me and I've missed things!
 
Forbear gives us a few options to help him out, if we choose to. He slips me a list of names of those closed out of this meeting that could be valuable allies.
