- speaker=De'Arthian
- message= _ "Welcome, Lord Galas, to the Grand Council. Lord Inodien has informed us that you are the elves’ maximum authority at present. We must say, we feel greatly honored by your presence here, in the Grand Council Chamber. To think that the forest elves managed to survive and thrive in the middle of the southeastern desert! It is truly a disgrace that we did not find out of your community before. All this blood and tears could have been avoided had we gone searching for civilizations hiding amidst the cruel sands."
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Galas
- message= _ "Thanks for your hospitality, my lord. It’s our pleasure to meet such a fine people as well."
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Torancyn
- message= _ "So, Lord Inodien came to us with the bulk of your... not very impressive army, and he also brought your civilians. He has asked us for shelter because your people lost their home in your war against the Chaos Empire."
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Galas
- message= _ "Pardon me, sir, but it is not a war! Our home and most of our forces fell victim to a large-scale invasion by the Chaos Empire started with no provocation whatsoever. We were completely unaware of their existence until their troops set foot in our lands."
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Torancyn
- message= _ "And then your people hid underground, and found this pet lich of yours who is—for some unfathomable reason—allowed to walk around freely rather than punished for his crimes against nature. Who allowed him into the council chamber anyway?"
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Arnesius
- message= _ "I did, and we have already discussed this before — countless times, I must add. Mal Keshar and the Lady of Light shall be considered our friends for as long as the elves treat them likewise."
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Torancyn
- message= _ "... Very well, then."
- [/message]

- speaker=Mal Keshar

- message={ASIDE ( _ "I am not particularly impressed, but at least you seem to be enjoying the irony.")}
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Illana
- message= _ "Say, Lord Galas, Lady of Light, and I ask this on a purely hypothetical basis: what could we possibly gain from allowing your people to live amongst us in the Aragwaith country? How can we possibly justify granting you control of lands that we could otherwise utilize for our own gain?"
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Galas
- message= _ "That is an excellent question, my lady. So, allow me to ask: for how long have you been struggling against the Chaos Empire’s advances into the northern lands? Your messenger Erathan made it sound like you’ve been aware of them for quite a while."
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Aleazar
- message= _ "We had dealt with them for years before they decided to cease all trading and communication with us. Still, they have not proven to be an actual threat thus far, beyond a few occasional skirmishes in Glamdrol. The dwarf kingdoms of Valgran and Herthgar shield us from potential attacks coming from the Heart Mountains, and the southeastern desert is an effective natural barrier against invaders."
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Galas
- message= _ "Herthgar fell just a week ago, and the enemy is now recruiting orcish mercenaries to their cause. How long do you think it will take them to penetrate into the Aragwaith country? Adopting a defensive stance and hoping for the best is exactly what resulted in Herthgar’s doom."

- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Galas
- message= _ "My proposal is as follows: we shall pledge allegiance to the Grand Council as long as our people are granted lands to live in the Aragwaith country; furthermore, we shall officially declare war against the Chaos Empire, and we expect you to do likewise. We intend to cooperate fully with the war efforts, placing our army at your disposal."

- message= _ "That is quite a bold proposal, elf lord. However, if the enemy is as strong as it’s been rumored, can we really expect to win a war against them with our combined forces alone?"
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Illana
- message= _ "Even if the Chaos Empire is already trying to undermine the Far North’s political stability by enlisting orcs, we might still be able to turn the majority of them to our side if we play our cards cautiously. The western clans might agree to join us in alliance if we give them something in exchange... such as some of the Empire-controlled lands."
- [/message]
- [message]

- speaker=Elynia
- message={ASIDE ( _ "Quiet, you. This is no time to let personal grudges guide our decisions.")}
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Torancyn
- message= _ "That might actually work... We can keep the fertile areas and hand them barren wastelands to keep them content."
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Mal Keshar
- message={ASIDE ( _ "You say that, but it is perfectly evident to anyone with a drop of sense that he wants to avenge his mentor... friend... whatever the accursed priestess was.")}

- message= _ "We can and should work out the details later."
- [/message]
- [message]

- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Arnesius
- message= _ "Lord Galas, perhaps you would prefer to take some time to consider the proposal. Once we officially sign the pact, there will be no going back for us or your people. Nonetheless, I would like to put forth a clause of our own."

- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Arnesius
- message= _ "We want the Lady of Light, and the lich Mal Keshar and all necromancers under his control to pledge unconditional allegiance to the Grand Council of the Northern Peoples. This also means that their actions will be governed by the Council rather than the elves’ leadership."
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Elynia
- message={ASIDE ( _ "Wait, what! Galas you can’t do this! Galas!")}
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Galas
- message= _ "I am sure they will accede. My condition is that their safety is guaranteed at all times, as this also was Mal Keshar’s condition for assisting us on the way to Herthgar. And if I must participate in field missions, I shall be allowed to have them by my side as I deem necessary or convenient."

- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Aleazar
- message= _ "Very well, then. This has been a pleasantly productive discussion, everyone. We shall give Lord Galas one week to make his decision. But... it would be highly beneficial for us to strike a deal with the orcs first, as time is of the essence and we need to secure their support before the Chaos Empire does."
- [/message]
- [message]
- speaker=Torancyn
- message= _ "I say we assign Lord Galas the task of negotiating with the orcs. May this serve to the Council as proof of his commitment and loyalty."

The Aragwaith don’t take the Empire’s threat seriously and only see this war as a convenient opportunity to keep their complacent troops entertained, as well as the orcs.
