Editing Midnight RPG - Chapter 42.875 (section)

=== Zal'Kazzir (In response) ===
Oh Wise Mistress, may thy cup runneth over with passion and blood, though I would warn you to make less frequent use of certain names, even in this most private of contacts. It pleases me greatly to hear of the progress of our daughter-to-be; she will be a terror and a joy, I am sure. [KEV: Spirits check here, how quickly would an Alu-Fiend mature? Quicker than a human, I assume, but I'm just curious] I was thinking that a mighty name might be Zekriya. [If Vipheri knows her Knowledge: Nobility in regards to Sarcosan history, Zekriya was a courtesan who skillfully manipulated two consecutively weak Khalifs to become the de-facto ruler of Pelluria for three decades]. 



As for Firsthold and your service theirin, my thanks, Vipheri. I am relieved and pleased to have left one true sentient to govern that nest of chattel. You did well, and your decisions were well-made. Willis will make a fine leader, and with the dedicated support of Willam and Petrus, he will surely govern wisely. If you haven't already, continue manipulating Tarmigan; quietly urge him to support dangerous, foolish and draconian proposals, and watch him dash himself and his support against the rocks of collective reason, while you use what impetus for brutality is accepted by the council to steer for greater control and strength among the populous. 

Also, one initiative I need for you to pursue is this; Education. My persoanl guards are arriving in firsthold shortly to bolster it's defenses, and some of their families are almost certainly accompaning them. It is my will that we establish an academy to teach language, writing, history, philosophy, the principles of magic, and theology, insofar as we must know the enemy, and also a Craft School to train those unworthy of proper education in the trades and crafts that will be necessary. It is also my desire to establish a special school to educate those with magical talent and potential. Magic is our greatest strength against the great enemy. Go to Jaltheras and my other disciples and tell them to begin searching Firsthold for those with potential. Those children who have magical potential [Basically, since anyone can take the magecraft feat, I mean any children with the aptitude and inclination and a high enough mental stat to support it] should be tested and those who seem promising should begin training immediately. Request aid from the Elves, if possible to provide additional instructors and resources. 

You should know that your Petrus persona is possibly in jeopardy. I do not anticipate any immediate danger for you, but now is the time to create an backup persona, if you have not already. 




As for me, Indeed, it was my action that precipitated the fall of Zaindal and the Chaos of the Bluff. Indeed, the Chaos we have seen is but the overture, the real symphony is yet to come. The Sorcerer has placed a token claim on the city, and this will likely prompt Sunulael to divert his resources in an attempt to take the place back; a move almost certainly to be opposed by Jahzir. 

As to your fiend-friend, who might it be? What help might they offer? And what favor might they require? 

Naline is a wise choice to scout the bluff. Have Her father vote for her while she is away, and try to have her figure out where Baden has gone to ground; it will be imperative that we speak with him in the next month or two.
