With Damo's departure from the city, the Knights of the Crowned Phoenix were once again leaderless and considering he was preparing to flee the city, Emeric decided to leave the appointment of a new Captain to his son and castellan Rodwell. Rodwell had chosen Sir Andros Revall, an honorable if not somewhat naive Knight, who still believed that the Stentors were traitors and the destruction of the city was their fault, as such he followed every command without hesitation, such as keeping close tabs on all courtiers currently in the palace like the Magister and other notable citizens.

Cassander had once again gone to visit Virene, he had told her of the demise of Raullame and with it his line, and of how Jovron had made him Knight Captain of the Axes. Virene hugged the Knight, seeming relieved that her husband no longer resided in the realm of the living and appearing to be genuinly happy for Cassander as it met that he would stay in the city instead of returning to Shornhelm.

Cassander looked at Virene, knelt on one knee and pulled out an emerald encrusted gold ring. "From the day I met you I have been enthralled by you, I am drawn to you like a moth to a flame. I feel better when I am around you and worse off when we are apart, Lady Virene I love you and wish to make you my wife in the sight of gods and men."

Virene smiled and kissed the kneeling Knight. Taking it as an acceptance of his proposal Cassander placed the ring on her finger and passionately embraced her.

....

When The Knight woke he and Virene were still entwined together beneath the bed sheets. Carefully so as not to wake her Cassander exited the bed and began dress, he stared at his sleeping fiancee so beautiful he thought. He left her a note on her dresser explaining that he needed to return to the castle but would be back soon. As he was gently closing the door of Virene's room, the Knight felt cold steel on the back of his neck. Turning around ever so slowly Cassander saw it was his adopted brother Damo, wearing his Dragonguard armour who wielded the sword now at his throat.

"Hello brother, we need to talk." The Reachman casually uttered as he led Cassander away from Virene's room.
