*Ismail Cydun walks through the castle gate. He nods politely to the guards and climbs upon his horse. Jared Vasken smiles and mounts his own stead. The two men ride slowly away their horses side by side, they talk quietly to each other*.

So tell me, what is the legendary Darl Thranmere like in the flesh? Did he drink wine from skulls? What a husband for a Princess.
*He laughs uneasily*
Do you really think he is going to win this war? There will be no place for you with a mermaid on the throne.

I've a right to be here!
*Cydun bangs his gloved fist against his chest*.
I'm Grimney born and pure. This land is my place....
*He seethes*.
Thranmere is a loathsome worm.
*Cydun spits*.
He's nothing. Scum. When this war is won the Militia will rule Grimney. And we'll drink out of his skull.
*He sniffs*.
The mermaid? She'll be driven back into the ocean where she belongs... We'll not be ruled by outsiders.

She's popular with the peasants... and Darl is not a man to be crossed lightly.

A ruler who is popular with peasants should live with them.
*Cydun grins*.
Darl has made a deal with me, I'll gain his trust and betray him.
*He sniffs*.
We must use the weaker elements of the Militia to fight for both sides. Create the belief that there's a split in our own forces.
*Cydun nods*.
Whilst we, the hardcore hold back.

Didn't she use to live with peasants? In the mire... what was that all about I wonder?
*He frowns slightly*
Mermaids are not to be underestimated. Her family rules the sea, their princesses are brought up to be mistresses of manipulation and intrigue. They have seduction, spies and magic...
*He looks nervous*
There is also Carados, he is no fool. If he or his daughter get wind of this... what death do you think Darl Thranmere will give us. I have stood besides you many years and given you good counsel. We must be careful not to get in too deep here.

You worry too much Jared. The Militia can match Darl and Carados in brutality and we need not make war against the mermaids.
*He smiles and sniffs*.
I value your counsel, you know this.... We shall send Militia men to fight for Darl and Carados. But convince the High Council that they have betrayed our own ranks....

I worry too much because you worry too little.
*He gives a half smile*
A match in brutality perhaps... but did you see the discipline of his men? I have not seen the like of that outside the Queen's Elite. Darl Thranmere is no mere soldier, he is a warrior and a general with a Dudrassa Princess for a wife.
*He bites his lip*
Perhaps after the war, he will be persuaded to take the Princess and rule over Kanara. Things can be settled diplomatically. Head to head fighting we could lose.... did you know they are having a man skinned alive today?
*He shudders*
A spear through the chest, a sword though my neck... anything but spare me that death.

I've a mind to join our forces with the Knights of the Zoriat... Or even the Chaos Engine and the Vanguard of Scar... That's if the need arises... Anything to take power from the weaklings that rule here now...
*Cydun nods*.
Darl is a barbarian.... We can gather more fighters to our side by the very fact that he skins Grimney's citizens....
*He reaches his hand across and pats his colleague on the back*.
You were always a moderate, that's why I made you my adviser. You've been like a son to me, I raised you free spirited and I respect your opinions. Had your parents lived they'd have been proud.
*He pats him a second time*.
You worry for me my boy and I'll always listen to your thoughts.

It's not just the weakest that fall in war... just one breath of fate and everything crumbles.
*He looks thoughtful*
There's whispers about the Princess. They say she has connections with the Vanguard, with the White Scorpions, even with Dravenore and the Queen's Elite rebels. What if she's playing for power?
*He sighs*
All will come clear I suppose, we do not wield magic mirrors to show us the way. Let's ride fast from here, the sooner we are out of the shadows of Stormrock the better.
*He kicks his steed and gallops ahead*
