General Summary
01 Diana, 500 CD
Early morning of the 1st of Diana starts out as a beautiful day as always in the Socrates Forest. As the companions start there early morning routines. The companions have had the luxery of staying in apartments provided by the Duchess of Thysdrus. while Jasmal, Dagon, and Karrin go to there respective spots to pray, ponder, and pray Arceven recieves a knock at his door around the 8th hour. A young Glade Keeper (Lieutenant ) by the name of Marenya Windstrid stands at the door with a scroll with the seal of the Duchess inviting the companions of Acq Inc Franchise K to lunch at the Great Hall in Heartspire Keep at the 12 hour. The companions did some odds and ends and realized that Conan has not been seen. They know that he went for a walk in the Socrates Forest but has not been seen since then. Arceven sends his new toy out to find Conan and has not been seen either.
The 12 hour has arrived and the companions are escorted to the Great Hall. The Great Hall of Heartspire Keep is a breathtaking masterpiece of elven craftsmanship, embodying both the majesty of nature and the elegance of ancient tradition. Situated at the heart of the towering spire, the hall feels as though it was grown rather than built, blending seamlessly with the living wood and stone of the keep. At the heart of the hall stands a grand, oval table carved from the trunk of an ancient, fallen tree. Its surface gleams with a rich, natural sheen, and its edges are lined with runes inlaid with gold, each representing an aspect of nature: earth, wind, water, and fire. The table seats 20 in total, with 18 chairs positioned along its sides and two larger, ornately carved chairs at each end, currently left vacant. The chairs are designed with a leaf motif, their backs rising high and their legs shaped like intertwined branches. Each chair is cushioned in deep green velvet embroidered with golden accents. Five figures sitting at the table are in deep conversation then stop and look up as the companions enter, their expressions a mix of curiosity and reserved formality.
Alarion Legolas, Arbiter of the Grove , stands and calls the room to attention as the elven troops snap to attention, his sapphire gaze resting intently on Zandi and then the rest of the companions. He gets up and walks to Zandi and salutes her welcome home Leaf Warden Zandi Ottore. Then he escorts her to a chair reserved for her next to him and one of the empty chairs. Then Alarion goes to Dimmir and escorts him to a seat reserved for him at the other end of the table next to an empty chair. Then he looks at the rest of the group and says take a seat at the table. The room is silent but not oppressive, the quiet carrying a sense of expectation as the council awaits the reason for the audience. The wood elves that were all ready seated is the city council of Thysdrus. A horn is sounded and once again the troops of the room come to attention. The city council members all rise, as a young elf who looks to be in his early teens by human standards enters the room. He begins to announce the following people:
- Duchess Thalira Legolas of House Legolas
- Special guest King Arthur the XVII of the Realm of Avalon
- Sir Lancelot Supreme commander of the Order of the Red Dragons and a member of the famed Knights of the Round Table
- Special guest King Aerendryl Vaelorith of the Realm of Thaellon
- King Corvais Stormwalker of the Kingdom of Geleon who shows up later.
Then Following speech is then given by Duchess Thalira Legolas of House Legolas:
"Honored guests, friends, and allies,
It is with boundless gratitude and a heart full of humility that I welcome you all to the Great Hall of Heartspire Keep. This hall has borne witness to countless moments of history, but none as extraordinary as the gathering of such a distinguished assembly under one roof.
To you, King Arthur Pendragon the VXIII of Avalon, whose very name evokes tales of bravery, wisdom, and the unyielding spirit of Camelot, your presence rekindles the ancient bonds between Avalon and this house. It has been centuries since a Pendragon last graced these walls, and yet, the echoes of their legacy have never faded.
To Prince Arceven Stormwalker of the Realm of Geleon, whose lineage and deeds intertwine with the winds of history itself, your journey here speaks to the enduring ties between Geleon and the elven realms.
To Sir Lancelot, peerless knight of the Round Table and exemplar of chivalry, your presence elevates this occasion to one of profound importance.
To the Order of the Phoenix, whose enduring light serves as a beacon in the darkest times, I welcome you with reverence. Sir Dimmir, your leadership inspires all who seek justice and valor; Sir Innsmouth, steadfast guardian of honor; Sir Blight, who stands as a shield for the innocent; and Dame Oakencrown, whose words weave the threads of hope and courage into the hearts of all who hear them. High Priestess Moonbrooke, your spiritual guidance is a gift that transcends borders and faiths alike.
To our beloved king, Aerendryl Vaelorith of Thaellon, the unwavering guide and protector of our people, your presence reminds us of the strength in unity and the beauty of our shared heritage.
And, to the valiant members of Acquisitions Incorporated, whose swift aid and unflinching resolve came to the defense of Leafwarden Zandi Ottore, your deeds stand as a testament to the courage and ingenuity that unite all who seek justice and protection in this world. You have earned the gratitude of the Socrates Forest and of this house.
This day is historic, not merely for the grandeur of those assembled but for what it represents: a renewal of alliances, a celebration of shared purpose, and a rekindling of hope. The return of the Dovahkiin, long thought to be lost to the annals of legend, marks the turning of an age. Their presence, and yours, speaks to a future where unity and strength shall overcome all adversity.
Let us honor this gathering as a moment of promise and purpose. For as the light of spring fills the forest with life and renewal, so too does this assembly bring hope and strength to all the realms we hold dear.
Welcome, my friends, to Heartspire Keep. This house is deeply honored by your presence, and may the bonds we forge here echo through eternity."
Then a seven course meal was served for lunch as all members sitting at the table talking about different things. Including life in general, the most recent holiday, and are the Dovahkiin really back. Another question that was asked was there truth to the rumors that there are live dragons living in N Azure once again. Then as the fifth course is being served King Corvais Stromwalker shows up to join in the rest of lunch. Once is completed the servants begin cleaning up the dishes and once that is done remove the large table. Then chairs are brought into the center of the room. A large platform with stairs is also rolled in and placed at the south end of the great hall. On top of the platform are three chairs. Duchess Legolas, King Stormwalker and King Arthur take a seat. Normal citizens, high ranking officers, and the Verdant Vanguard are let in as well.
