Knight-Commander Ivo's party arrived in Daggerfall, after their journey from Fort Bergamot.

"Is confronting the Knight-General about this wise?" The Knight Bachelor asked.

"If what we heard in Anticlere is true then yes, because Sir Doraleous is not the only one with these claims." Ivo replied. When they had stopped by the village of Anticlere they heard from the local nobles of the news about Jovron.

Despite Perien or Damian's attempts to keep things silent in their own cities, the contents of the letters were being spread elsewhere by those that received them as well.

"But the Lady Remly didn't believe such claims." The young Knight argued.

"True, she didn't. However, she has been Perien's vassal for a long time so she isn't exactly objective on the matter. She'd think any bad information on her liege would be baseless slander." The Knight-Commander replied.

The small party of 5 knights rode into the city and towards the castle.

Despite the Adamantine Renegades having passed through the Wrothgarian Mountains to avoid going through Northpoint and Shornhelm or Wayrest, they still had to pass through Camlorn in order to reach Daggerfall and that kingdom's guards had secured their borders as previously requested by High King Perien.

"How far is the army?" General Roderic asked Legate Astien.

"Our scouts reported seeing them only an hour's ride south." The young Astien replied.

"Hmm...I see. Well Astien I require you to go to the Daggerfall army and request a meeting with Prince Crendal. Inform him of my position on Jovron Lariat and tell him that I wish to avoid a pointless battle." The middle-aged knight ordered.

Astien bowed. "As you wish, general." He headed off on his horse to serve as messenger.

"I don't like this." Jovron commented. "It seems pointless to try to talk down the prince. In the end it would be better to set up an ambush and use the opportunity to end the battle quickly instead of letting them know where we are."

"That doesn't sound very kingly, Jovron. You must always give the enemy a chance to surrender before the battle. Your relative, the Emperor, knows the value of words. Sometimes they are more powerful than swords. It was how he was able to get the rebellious Argonians, the Mede loyalist Orcs and the isolationist Khajiit to rejoin his Empire after the Stormcrown Rebellion was over." Roderic told him.

Jovron didn't talk back. I suppose that he is right....it is what Edgar would've done.
