| Your chat with Father Blackhand winds down. A messenger comes with a letter of appointment to meet the Count: tomorrow, three gongs. Elzemond warns—This appointment is pivotal for you. Do not be late, come dressed respectfully, and above all observe full formalities. You will be in the presence of one truly in line to become King of Seshnela and perhaps of all the West. Bow and scrape. Grit your teeth. The Count can be patient but he is unforgiving and expects deference, and bad things will happen to those he develops antipathy for. Your meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow so his people can learn more about you first. Elzemond cautions that your scribe is not just a bureaucrat. He is taking notes not just for paperwork; he works for the Count; “spy” would be a pessimistic word for him but not wrong either. Behave yourselves in Tiskos in the meantime. And think about what you will talk to him about, although he will tend to lead discussion. With further questioning, Elzemond clarifies that you’ll have little time with the busy Count, so focus on what you most want to talk to him about. You ask for more information about the Count, and Elzemond mainly says that some would call him a tyrant, but he has held the diverse factions of Tiskos together in relative peace throughout his reign; no meagre task; so some would say he is what Tiskos needs. The Father doesn’t hide that his feelings on the matter are complex. | Your chat with Father Blackhand winds down.
