[EVENT RP] The Reclamation of Tania

[Swift_Assassin]

While Shad and Eli got riled up by Lennox and Carla's words, they just shook their heads in unison. Paige and Satsume also seemed to agree that they took that frame of thought and went out there with it. "We aren't suggesting that the Emperor's sole goal is the legendary weapons. He'd probably have an easier time paying someone off to steal Echesachs if that was his main reason to attack Bern." She turned to the others, "Sorry, he tends to blow some things out of proportion and sometimes that train of thought can be infectious."

"All we are saying is that he might be amassing a lot of firepower with such powerful weapons. Who knows if he plans to keep them as trophies or equip his generals with them?" Lennox sighed, slapping Shad on the back to snap him out of it. "If you want my suggestion, if you see an opportunity to secure one of those weapons, you might want to take it."

"Eli, Shad. Just stop and think politics for a second. My father seized power because he had backing from other Etrurians. If my mother's tribe helped him do it instead, Etruria probably would have fought them instead of letting him take it unopposed. Bern's a foreign entity and they aren't fighting for the sake of Lycia's future. I'd suggest finding the heir, have the heir announce publicly their claim to the throne, and secure an alliance with some Lycian lord first. If Bern's fighting for the heir's claim on the throne, perhaps help would be easier to find." Carla said, clearly thinking about the situation with more clarity than Shad was.

He listened to Carla and absorbed her words. It made a lot of sense to him. He actually experienced himself first hand, due to the Fen's backing his claim to the Hyperion lands. Would Eli be able to understand that though? Before he said anything, though. Satsume, who apparently left and returned announced the imminent arrival of some soldiers. Shad shot a look at Lennox who quietly returned Dyrnwyn to where he kept it. Carla leaned up against the wall next to Satsume while Lennox laid prone one the ground. Shad knelt down next to him, unsure what Lennox was thinking exactly. Hopefully Paige's plan could work.
