Role

Chapter 25

And the Empire! Well Caecilius got right down to business and issued an edict
outlining terms for peace. It was received almost exactly the way I thought it
might be, with Laeden, Lathlaeril, and Qaqah all responding publicly by telling
him they'll be going about their business as usual. I'm not sure if the
Village, Scarab Cult, and Outlanders even bothered with a formal response, but
Bilgritik did bring me the Imperial Codex right after and try to get me to
deface it. I hesitated, of course, and he wound up running it off somewhere
else, much to my relief. Daphedee responded to Caecilius' edict as well and
said we'd pretty much behave ourselves but could he please ensure Centurions
aren't placed on East Sumner's road between Voralian City and the Crossroads.
Hopefully he's more amiable to this request than when we tried to get Xalcorin
to quit plopping traps all over the place out there. Anyway, now that I'm High
Herald, I'll treat the situation the way Daphedee intended.

Wow, apparently I had a lot I thought you needed to get caught up on. That's
what you get for camping out in the snow and never visiting. Still, sorry the
letter wound up so long. Hope you hunkered down to read it somewhere cozy.

Love,
Renize
