Ashmedei followed behind Eirik and upon arriving to their destination, the man was welcomed by the sight of the Tiberian officers. Their proud frames were adorned with red and gold and they sat around a large table that was previously assembled in the middle of the open room for this exact moment. These Tiberian men occupied about half the seats while others remained empty and destined for the new comers.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Ah, good, your men are here,"</span>A woman with a leader's aura stood up from her seat and addressed Eirik. Ashmedei stepped to the side and pushed down the hood of his cloak, uncovering his head out of respect. He took a seat. At the head of the table, High-Reeve Craw Maghar's presence wreathed the stool.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Universus. I am Verina Galla. As you may know, in our tongue Universus means "Becoming One." That is our goal here. Tiberians; Saxians, whether native or foreign-born; members of all manner of races are here to come together for the good of the people of Danelagh, East Saxia, and the Empire as a whole.”</span>As the woman went about her explanation of what Universus stood for, she had made sure that she had given them enough explanation to understand the task they were to be assigned with. Craw advanced with his speech when the woman regained her seated position.<br/><br/>Introduction time.<br/><br/>When his name was pronounced, Ash stood from his seat and with balanced eye-contact he introduced himself after Graelle the Halfling, Valyn the Alkhev and Sara Belson the Lulf.<span style="font-style: italic">“I am Ashmedei. I am assigned to the same position as Sara, a Scout. I am fortunate to have been given a chance to work with you all.”</span>The man sat down and his attention turned to the next people to be introduced; his ears listened intently. His fascination with the diversity in his new comrades was beyond measure.<br/><br/>Ashmedei was glad to be assigned a duty he excelled at. This specific task required from him to watch after and enforce peace in the outlands or the once royal forests. His duties were also meant to insure the security of the working hands as they move wood from the stump to outside the forests, either towards the city or towards farm lands and construction sites. There were a few cases lately where criminal organizations from the neighboring cities have been carrying illegal logging either by theft, or through dishonest citizen workers of East Saxia. These corrupted individuals have given these criminal organizations access to the royal forests for coins.<br/><br/>Last but not least, Ashmedei's task was also to look over the ecological restoration of the outskirts of the City. The land was tainted with the blood of the fallen soldiers and the once peaceful forests are today but dark, dense and dangerous for even the workers to conduct peaceful work.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"I am Maako... I believe I can help."</span>And so was the name of the creature who walked its way into the conference with a blunt and a straight-forward march. The level of Maako's attitude was only seen in those who were not afraid of the law. An attitude that was either black or white; one that Ashmedei was very familiar to. The way the scarf was worn on Maako's face made the Nephilim wonder if what he was thinking was correct.
