(@Septimus: Emeric is just a minor noble, he has no power over the Legion. They only answer to the Emperor but their services can be obtained by High Kings and other regional rulers. Since he is only a Castallen he would not even be able to request their assistance in anything.

@Humble: So Fox is no longer a Stormcloak? He is now Eignach's Housecarl.)

The Stormcloaks soon reached Fort Sungard, only to find the Legion garrisoning it. Ulfric asked them why they were ther and the commanding officer there explained that they were contacted by the Jarl of the Reach to deal with the Forsworn. Ulfric thanked them for stepping in while the Stormcloaks were gathering then told them to return to Black Moor. The Legionnaires at Fort Sungard left for their base, but not before telling the High King about the current status of the Reach.

The Stormcloaks continued through the Reach, heading first to Granite Hall to relieve the Legion from guarding there and then heading to Markarth.

"Tahara, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Eignach asked.

"I am sure you know. Our people are not happy with the way things are looking." She said. "They think you did betray us to the Nords."

"I did not, but things take time. I already have plans for the Warrens and Amber Guard, as well as setting up mininal wage for our people so they are paid fairly." Eignach explained.

"Sadly most people don't see long-term. They want changes now, not in a few months, a few years. They are demanding that I fight against you." Tahara said.

"And are you going to?" He asked.

"No, that would be stupid. I've heard about the Stormcloaks comming here, attacking now would be suicide. But maybe we can have another solution." She suggested.

"What is that?" The Jarl asked.

"They don't trust you, they trust me, as I am one of the Chiefs. If we rule together then there would be no problem. We would stomp out any risk of another uprising and make sure our people have a future." Tahara replied.

"Is that a proposal? Because that is what it sounds like." Eignach said smirking.

"Yes, an unorthodox one. What do you say? It will be purely for the sake our our people." She said.

"Very well, I will do it. If that is what it takes to get the Reachmen to calm down then it is a sacrifice I am willing to make." He said.

"Sacrifice?!" She asked angry.

"It was a joke, sorry." The Jarl apologized. He stood up from the throne. "We can annouce the engagement to the people later today. Right now I have to go see to some business in the Treasury House, I have to get an estimate of how much money the renovations in the Warrens will cost."

Tahara nodded and went off, Ulen following her. "It seems you will be Queen afterall, in a way." The shaman said.

"Aye, not how I expected but still. Eignach means well. Together we can change things here in the Reach." She said.
