30th of Hearthfire, Loredas

We were greeted at the dock by Senchal guards and given a royal escort to the palace.

Zamarak greeted me warmly with a hug when he saw me and I bumped foreheads. A bit more intimate that he was expecting, but he did not seem offended. I introduced half of the group before Captain Za'ji made his own introduction of him and the Dragonguard.

I spoke with Zamarak as we walked and he said that he had been so worried when Queen Khamira had gone on with Tharn and left him and the rest of the Queen's Claw without them. I told him that I kept an eye out over her and would not have seen any harm come to her whilst I still stood.

That calmed him little, though he said he was thankful to see she and I were both unharmed. He seemed to have settled well into his role and spoke of his pleasure with settling in with such an active ruler. I congratulated him on doing so well.

I made a point to ignore Prefect Callous, or whatever his name was, as much as was not obvious or rude. I could not believe that he had persisted in being with the royal entourage. I heard him boasting to one of the Redoran that they had been asked personally to escort the royal entourage.

Then I heard Er-Jaseen and Tel call out to Sir Cadwell. Now that was a face I had really not expected to see, but I managed few words with him, he was busy catching up with the others, I decided to take the time to greet Khamira.

After we had exchanged pleasantries, she asked me for a small favor. Since she was going to speak with General Renmus about the Elsweyr Confederacy, she wished to have me announce the deeds that were accomplished, both by Queen Khamira, and those accomplished by her uniting with the Shields of Senchal. She also wanted to bestow honors from her kingdom upon the Shields. All this she wished to have me take the place as her diplomat and handle the delicate negotiations. She said that there was no one else she would trust with such tricky matters and that she knew I would do all of us proud.

With such flattery and the Queen's favor at hand, how could I refuse. I gave a formal bow and accepted.

I went to the General's chambers while everyone else was still finishing their greetings of one another. I saw Tel look at me questioningly, but I gave them a sign to continue what they were doing. I could not have Tel ruin this if things did not go well.

I found the General in a less than pleasant mood as I entered his chambers. Even as he gave his thanks for the role that myself and my associates played in defeating the dragon threat, he made it clear he did not have much time for my presence, so I proceeded a bit more urgently.

I gave the Queen's offer and General Renmus started by trying to act as though Khamira had been angling all this to make them look as though they could not handle themselves, which, he assured me, they were perfectly capable of doing.

Not being one to give up so easily in the face of an important task, I complimented the Shields on their defenses and mentioned again that the Queen had been very impressed by their bravery and skill. I reiterated that honors that she wished to bestow upon them and that her aim was not to make light of their efforts, only to help. That it was alliance that had restored her crown and freed Anequina from their dragon threat, so she sought to do the same for her southern brethren. She had not wanted them to be caught unawares or left to the mercy of dragons, especially when the threat had come from her kingdom in the first place. She did not take responsibility lightly and only hoped to take the opportunity to help.

This soothed the general enough for me to get behind his guard. He was clearly very tired and stressed. And so as he started to open up more I used my birthgift to ask him to admit how he felt about the alliance, and if he would not give it a chance.

That was when he admitted that he and the Shields had been struggling, only getting by on luck and tenacity. And that was before the dragons came. That the alliance would, in truth, be very good for the people, though he had fears of what it meant for his position.

I assured him that the Queen only wished to support him and his people, not to take anything from him. It was to be a partnership. That if he would accept, they would work together to repair the damage the dragons had done and that the Dragonguard would see to the safety of the land from any lingering dragons.

He said that he was worried that if they turned their back on their allegiance to the Empire, then it would reflect poorly on their loyalty.

I told him it was a choice between his pride and his sense of duty. He could always return back to Cyrodiil and leave Senchal to the Khajiit. That Queen Khamira would not be trying to seize any power there and that the Mane dealt with matters of succession. Or, he could continue to serve the people of this land by joining with the Queen. The people needed the support of the Shields and would feel pride that they were not abandoned, but remained under the care of those who had protected them so far.

The General decided that it would be dishonorable to abandon the people of the land just because the Empire had withdrawn. And so he asked me to let the Queen know right away.

I bowed and went to take my leave when one of the Dragonguard entered and addressed him as father. I recalled then that they were related. That whole business right after my head injury. I will have to read back over these journal entries to make sure I have not forgotten anything important.

I gave the Queen the good news and a messenger came shortly after, summoning us all to the throne room. The General wished to have a ceremony for his support and joining of the Khajiiti Confederacy and the official signing. I could see the smug grin Khamira hid behind her hand and she signed a thank you to me.

We were brought to a side chamber as the throne room was prepared and I filled Tel and Er-Jaseen in on what had happened. I may have left out the bit about my birthgift, just in case it upset Tel. Er-Jaseen said she was glad it was me and not her that had to do the negotiation. I thanked her for her confidence.

When the time came, we all filed in. I could hear the crowd making remarks about the Dragonguard and Queen Khamira. It was better this way. My role has never been to be the one in the spotlight of these major events. My role is support. To aid the heroes. To save the nation. To be a tool for change.

We filed in and witnessed the signing of the alliance contracts and of the provisions that I am sure were drawn up by the Speaker of the Mane before Khamira even left Anequina. Once everything was in order, everyone made a procession to the square where the public could witness.

General Renmus, who by this point had had a couple of glasses of plum brandy, was in a very good mood indeed. He admitted to his daughter, loud enough for me to overhear, that they would be supplied in a way that the Empire never could manage and that they would be far better taken care of. I was glad that things were working out so amicably here.

Khamira waved us over. She was dressed in her regal attire, the one she complained about pinching so much when last she wore it. But she looked every part a queen and I knew that she wore it with pride in the square that day.

She had us all line up, having Er-Jaseen stand on her left side, with Sai Sahan on Er-Jaseen's other, and the rest of the Dragonguard going down. Then on the right, She had me stand, with Tel, and then the Redorans. I was touched that she still thought of me as closely as she had. But maybe it was because we had suffered the same loss.

She announced to the city that this was the group who had fought to save Senchal. As promised, she gave honors to the Shields of Senchal for playing a part and for the Dragonguard as well. She thanked all who had fought directly in the fight against Kaalgrontiid.

Then she gave a touching memorial for Tharn. That was the hardest part of it all, honestly. I could hear her holding back, knowing that her word choice was so carefully picked. That she quoted some of what he used to say. I wanted to reach out to her to give her comfort and support, but we could not smirch her image so. She had to be the strong and independent queen that she was.

She then thanked Er-Jaseen and Sai Sahan for all they had done to gather the Dragonguard and keep everyone safe, fighting valiantly. And finally, she thanked me for sticking with her from start to finish. I think she used the word steadfast and loyal at least twice. I did not deserve all the praise she lofted upon me.

When she had thanked everyone once more and had a great cheer, we were invited back for a celebration in the palace.

I ate and drank and wished Khamira very well. Then was all too happy to get away from people for a while. I will seek out Tel before bed. I know that I left them talking to Sai Sahan about his worries for some of the Dragonguard's behavior.

Off hand thought:

Zamarak is pretty amazing and doesn't get the attention he deserves. Kinda wish we had more time with him in game- his self redemption felt a touch rushed, and we should have seen Khamira and him interact.

Obligatory excerpt:

At least the famed Eye of the Queen, Razum-dar, has proven himself an enjoyable company. Unsurprisingly he immediately placed himself at the centre of attnetion and events and let the all of Nirn to revolve around him, but Clivia has grown up with her sisters, brothers, and cousins, all of them Tharns, this is nothing she wouldn't be used to or even able to handle. But that bastard just skipped off on the wall and to the top, and now the rest of them has to catch up with him.

Clivia entertains such thoughts only because they fill her with anger which makes her ignore the pain in her thighs and calves – it is a damn a lot of stairs – and makes her go forward and to the top of the Sunspire.

She gets there ahead of Zamarak and Cadwell, and finds Razum-dar slightly overwhelmed. Of course he wouldn't say he doesn't have the situation under control, but obviously he is glad Clivia is there to help him dispatch the Mantis in radical manner. Somewhere in the process she slides across the floor like a bard giving a solo performance, and thus saves Zamarak's furry hide and also skins her knee and destroys her hair, because the numerous eldritch insects she guts on her way spill their innards all over her head. No guts, no gory.

18th of Midyear, Sundas

As expected, Tharn did not treat me as though any of the evening had happened at all. He treated me the same as always, like a tool for his use and pleasure. He was not entirely wrong and I did not wish to bring anything up about things. The moment had been a private one between us and that he had allowed it, in a state of silence and acceptance was something that was for us and us alone.

He was a bit less harsh in his criticisms. Perhaps it was the nerves of upcoming battle. Perhaps something in last night touched a part of him he was not expecting. In the meanwhile I shall not give too much thought to it. There is so much else to be done.

Tharn and The Speaker were just sitting down to go over the strategy of defense when I arrived after breakfast. They informed me that the Adepts had arrived just hours earlier and were already setting up defenses with Khamira. That I should also report to her, since she was in charge of the main city defenses. It seems like The Speaker and Tharn were working on some other strategies, whether it was retreat options, reinforcements, or some other option.

It was clear from his words that The Speaker had great confidence in Khamira’s abilities as a strategist, but he seemed to see her connection to the city and its people as providing her a particular edge in leadership. I admitted, the morale would certainly be higher with her leading the city if that was true, and with the odds not exactly in our favor, we would likely need it.

I got Nettle and the others and told them of our assignment and we headed off.

I found Khamira on the edge of town speaking with one of the merchants and offering compensation for his cart to build the barricades. It seems that no resource would be spared in defending the city.

When she saw me, Khamira’s tail raised in recognition. She approached and we discussed briefly her work on the defenses and plans. She was grateful for the Adepts and even Sir Cadwell, as odd as she found him. I assured her that was a normal reaction to him.

She sighed, the weight of it all heavy upon her shoulders as she admitted that she did not have enough hands to do all she sought and wondered if I might help. I cut her off and agreed even before she had finished.

She smiled at me and said that she needed someone to collect the farmers outside the city walls and to bring them in to safety before the soldiers arrived. I gave her a nod and as soon as she pointed the way to Tsazii’s farm, I headed on my way, leaving Nettle and my guard to help with the town’s defenses. I know Nettle was not pleased, but I think he knew that my safety and the House’s interests were best served in this decision. Plus, where would I go?

Zamarak met me as I was heading out of town and offered to join me. Apparently he knew the family that ran the farm and wished to repay a kindness given to him. He thought having a friendly face might also help to convince them to leave their lands, as suspicious as all in the area had become of outsiders.

I agreed and we headed off. Zamarak and I spoke of many things as he led me to the shortcut out of the back gate of the city. I was glad to see there was at least better fortifications at the rear of the city as we headed out to the farmland. Zamarak mentioned that he had been in exile at a point. That he did not wish to use his marital talents, but rather his healing skills if possible. I accepted that, knowing that he must have inadvertently hurt someone important to him given all the clues he offered.

We had not gone far when we ran into Euraxia’s forces. They were swarming the fields. Zamarak was astonished, the reports had all said that the Euraxians were seen coming from east and south, but here they were to the northwest. Somehow they had managed to surround the town. No wonder they had not attacked before our arrival, they were getting into position in a way to route us completely!

I made ample use of my shades in order to isolate and slay as many as I could.

Zamarak used whatever ancient spells he had to imbue me with speed and strength. I soon found myself cutting down soldiers like a frenzied wamasu. It was incredible. It was exhilarating. And when I took blows I could not avoid at speed, a golden healing light was set upon me.

I do not know what they teach at the Desert Winds Adeptorium, but what power those adepts wield! We easily cleared a path to the farmhouse and surrounds, such that we would not be seen by any.

We slipped inside and were met with a woman, blade in hand, threatening to murder us. She stopped as soon as she saw Zamarak’s face. She asked what we were doing. We told her and her family, who slowly came out of their hiding places, that we were taking them to the shelter of the city.

Tsazii explained that they were safe there. The Euraxians seemed to be searching for something and had left her and her family alone so far, concentrating only on the fields. She was worried, however, about her mate and brother who were still out in the fields somewhere and said she would not leave without them. Naturally Zamarak and I offered to find them.

We fought our way to the cave that Tsazii had mentioned since we had not yet found any sign of her brother and we knew time was of the essence. At least we could find her mate.

As we traveled across the edge of the fields and into the scrub, Zamarak showed the way to the cave, which he knew from his time with the family. We spotted two Khajiit, one standing, head in his hands, another sprawled in the sand, unmoving.

Kinaro turned out to be Tsazii’s mate and we learned from him that when the Euraxians had threatened the pair, Hursh, Tsazii’s brother had thrown a rock. He was shot with an arrow. It was a sad story indeed. And you could see the pain in Kinaro’s eyes and he tried to figure out how he would break the news to his family.

Zamarak said he would give final rights and take care of Hursh’s body, but that Kinaro needed to get his family to the safety of the city. Zamarak would not explain exactly, but he clearly felt like whatever misdeed held heavy upon his conscious had led to this.

I escorted Kinaro back to the farm house and watched as the initial gladness for his safe return was shattered by the loss of a beloved member of the family. There was anger and sorrow all twisted into one and I could not comprehend most of it, given it was in Ta’agra with voices tinged with grief.

All I could manage, was to convince them not to stay and try to seek vengence for their loss. I told them that we would ensure that it happened. And their lands would be restored.

Khamira showed up with a task for me as I was helping the family gather items. Scouts had found the location of supply camps for the Euraxians in the north and south of Riverhold, tucked away behind natural rock formations. She showed me on the map and asked that I cut loose their horses and set fire to the camp. That Captain Nala-Do would take the flames as her sign to rush in and seize supplies for the city with her troops.

I told her that it was not be a problem. Finally, a chance to release some of my feelings of being forced into things I did not choose and my anger at the horrible treatment of the Khajiit by the Euraxians. All my hatred for everything was going to come out.

I headed out immediately and went to the closest camp first, the northern supply camp. It was supper time and everyone was gathered to work on their meal. I easily took out the single guard on watch. Then I snuck around to where they stabled their horses and cut the ropes, slowly leading each one off to the side. They stayed, calmly nibbling the scrub grass. Once I had them all gathered. I ran a half circle of fire in the direction of the camp and the horse bolted.

The fire followed the shape I made, obscuring my form as I made it raise high. I forced the flames to push forward towards the camp as I heard the soldiers scrambling to try and get water from the lake nearby. I went for the tents first. No shelter would work in our favor.

I encircled the camp entirely in flames, making them climb high on the side where the water would be coming. I could hear the hiss as buckets of water made their attempts, but I forced the fire back.

Then I opened up the other side of the camp so that Nala-Do and her forces could come and steal back supplies. They dashed in, their eyes darting wilding between the flames, the supplies, and me.

Once they were safely out, I turned the flames in another direction. I was drinking all the magicka potions I had, but I used them because I wanted to make the Euraxians fear. To know what it felt like to be terrorized by things so great they felt like ants.

I encircled them and stood before them with my shades. I reveled in their screams, their begging for mercy, knowing that they had done the same to those they had attacked. I realized myself and brought the circle of fire crashing down like a wave atop them. I let go of my control on the flames as the soldiers rolled around, trying to put themselves out. Some simply fell and did not move. One made it to the water, but the shock of the water seemed to set their pain a new.

I slipped away as the sounds quieted behind me.

I made it to the southern camp by dusk. I am making potions for the next assault. A similar strategy does not seem best, after all. Under the cover of darkness, I should have no problems with picking them all off.
