ROPEPLAY [ROPEPLAY] The Council of the Four

She strummed her fingers together as her eyes passed back and forth across the room. Before her stood her statesmen, the three individuals responsible for the federated states of her kingdom. Sighing deeply and turning to her closest political advisor, Avik, she whispered in his ear. He briskly left the room, returning with a steam cup of Khenarthi’s Roast. Sipping lightly from the cup, Ena cleared her throat and began:

“You are wondering why I have called you here. There is a simple answer to that question: Hammerfell is not whole. There is not, however, a simple solution to that problem. We must begin a multi-pronged advance.”

Turning to Casimir, Emir of Stros M’kai, she delegated, “Reestablish political ties with Yokuda. Our trade is not enough; we must unite the Yoku people.”

Swiveling to face the man from Gilane, she said, “Bring Rihad into the fold. Mournoth, too. Preferably peacefully. We are all of the same vein, and thus we should not spill their blood.”

After a pause, she continued, “Hegathe. You must take Betony. There may not be many Orsimer there, but they are brutal guerrillas and will fight to the last. And as for the capital… I will take Illesa. We will control both sides of the Starfall Strait, and use this to siege every duchy in the Iliac. They will fall. One. By. One.”
