Veridian Kingdom,<br/>Verilith,<br/>The Royal Palace.<br/><br/>Verilith, also known as the city of amber, not because it was made by that hardened fossilized tree resin but rather of the bronze-yellowish hue that the buildings of the city emits at night. It had long been suspected that this natural phenomenon has something to do with the changing of temperature and the building materials used in the construction of the city. Either way, it is a beautiful sight at night, couples can be seen walking around the park at the lower levels of the city and just enjoying the beautiful sight of their city. At the highest level of the city further up the hill is the Royal Palace of Verilith, it is the official residence of the two sovereigns of Veridia, the wise and powerful sorcerer king, Arynn Genn and his lovely and brilliant consort and queen, Lady Aria.<br/><br/>The gate to the royal palace is located 10 yards from the main entrance into the palace and is guarded by two grim looking figures, complete with their ornamental black armor and a deathly masks, these are the silent guardians of the two sovereigns and their palace, the deathguards. Inside, the palace boasts some remarkable works of craftsmanship, every pillar and columns supporting the upper levels of the palace is decorated with carvings and images seemingly depicting a story and the same goes with the walls, riddled with portraits and paintings by master artists. A few servants and scribes can be seen scurrying about carrying on with their duties, these are probably the night shifts employees of the palace, yet for its late hours, the palace is anything but quiet and solemn, as chattering and bantering could be heard from almost every corner of the ground floor of the palace.<br/><br/>Further up the palace lies a very peculiar room near the throne room of King Arynn. It is now guarded by two deathguards outside the entrance but inside lies three figures. The chamber is being lit up by a bright chandelier hanging at the ceilings amongst the drawings and painting at ceiling itself and a huge oval shaped stone table lies in the middle of the chamber. On top of this stone table is a piece of map depicting all of the known Titan, their world. The three figures surrounding it is none other than the sorcerer king Arynn, the High Archon Lord Hazarel and the Chief Ambassador of Veridia, Lady Amy Delroug.<br/><br/><strong>"Thank you for coming here at my behest even if it is this late, but I just felt that this shouldn't be delayed anymore..."</strong>, the sorcerer king is adorned in his nightly noble robe, black in color with gold trimmings. His brown eyes scans the two figures around the stone table. The first, a man in his 30's wearing leather mantle with short white hair and a focused expression on his face, despite being young he looks rather grizzly with barely shaven face and a scar running down from the top of his left eyebrow to his cheek, while the other is a young woman in her 20's wearing a red silken bodice with long overflown silk tied to the bottom of it, sort that conveniently revealing parts of her body which  shows her unblemished skin and voluptuous body.<br/><br/><strong>"We are here per your wish, my lord but seeing as how we're holding a meeting in a secluded place like this, I might imagine this being rather important?"</strong>, the young woman said. Amy later on indulges on the depiction of the world, Titan infront of her, some part of the lands she did not recognized while the older grizzly man opposite of her, High Archon Hazarel stares intently at the map.<br/><br/><strong>"It is,...I have called both of you here because of the great opportunity that lies before us..."</strong>, Arynn suddenly stood up from the wooden chair he was sitting earlier on and walks to the table and then points his finger at a specific part of the map, north eastern Mag'lan.<strong>"Here lies another major power of Mag'lan, in decades past we have been secluded from the rest of the world because we are rebuilding our nation after the devastating war with the lichlord, now however, it is time we emerge from obscurity"</strong>.<br/><br/>Suddenly the unmoving and almost statuette high archon walks closer to the part of the map where the king was pointing and let out a sigh,<strong>"I have been there once my lord"</strong>, he claims as he stares intently on the spot before switching his gaze to lady Amy and then the sorcerer king,<strong>"when I was a child, I was bought there by my adopted father, it's a nation known as Elysium, and a rather oppressive state too, especially to outsiders, I for one see no benefit in allying with such people..."</strong>but before the Hazarel could finished with his case, Arynn interrupted him by lifting his hand to him,<strong>"alliance with them seems far-fetched but for now we can have mutual agreement, a trade for example would do them and us good at least, later on we shall see what other opportunity may arise from such diplomatic relations for this endeavor I shall trust it upon you Amy, can you do this?"</strong><br/><br/>Amy nodded in response,<strong>"as you wish my liege, I shall do whatever necessary to convince the Elysian to enter into diplomatic relationship with us"</strong>. Arynn however notices the restlessness in Hazarel's expression, as if he knows that the sorcerer king did not just called him here to discuss matters pertaining to diplomatic mission since those thing would be left to lady Amy. Now, Arynn walked to the other side of the table and point his finger at one location, this time much closer to home. "Blue Anchor...", the words muttered through the lips of the sorcerer king and if one pays close attention, there's a hint of seriousness in his voice which isn't there when he was discussing trade possibility with Elysium before,<strong>"this land has long been an enigma and apparently bane to all living thing, we have received no report of anyone who had ventured there and return to tell the tale"</strong><br/><br/>As if knowing what the sorcerer king wishes of him, the high archon nodded without looking away from the spot on the map,<strong>"you wished me to discover the mystery of that land mylord?"</strong>, he responded to the sorcerer king,<strong>"...with all due respect but an expedition there would require significant military force and a committed one at that..."</strong>, again he was interrupted by the sorcerer king when the later raise his hand.<strong>"...And you shall have all that, but the constant threat from the Blue Anchor has not yet been neutralized and I want to find out what is there that keeps raising undead hordes and sending them our way"</strong>. Arynn walks back to his chair at the end of the chamber and sat upon it with the calm, calculative demeanor he had put earlier on.<br/><br/><strong>"You have your tasks for now, see to it..."</strong>, the sorcerer king said before waving the two off.<br/><br/>
