The Village- 'Vision and Whisper'

The night passed without much event. Arin communicated with both Zulkarnash and Aedric via telepathy to plan their next steps. He informed Aedric of his intention to win the City of Siterion for the glory of Nerthazir and discussed the necessary plans to achieve that goal.

He had learned that Siterion was not ruled by any Barony or Dukedom. The city was officially under the direct control of the Emperor, with a council governing on his behalf. The council consisted of the Noble Faction, represented by Aedric Dovanseer; the Emperor Faction, represented by Captain Duran; and the Commoner Faction, represented by the Adventurers Guild's Siterion City Chapter Leader, Zikar.

This presented Arin with both pros and cons. On the positive side, no noble would likely be involved if he ever captured the city. However, the downside was that the Emperor might get directly involved. Arin decided to let Aedric brainstorm this endeavor, and he would join him later.
