(Uh; Max. It's my bad for forgetting to mention it, but Shor's Stone was repaired over the time skip, and is now a thriving trading post in the Rift.)

"Lord Lucien, Lady Louise." Commander Lyndis said. "Operation Citadel is nearing completion. The Veins have been completed, and all that remains, is the applying of the Core."

"Very well." Lucien said. "Let us go apply the Core, then.

Lucien cast a spell at a bookcase, revealing a secret backpanel, with a button, that opened a hole in the wall, revealing a lever. The lever was pulled and a magical door opened, revealing a secret tunnel leading to a secret war-room, with a magical circular map of Nirn, zoomed in on Skyrim. (Basically an auto-updating interactable hologram.) The three of them noticed the dissapearance of Whiterun, but did not give it too much thaught.

In the center of the circular map was a pedestal of sorts. Louise placed the large black soul gem (Much larger than a normal soul gem.) in a fixed position on the pedestal. The effects were quite powerful. (Perhaps a bit overpowered. Defensively, at least.)

A large invisible ward surrounded all of Riften. None of the normal townsfolk noticed, but all the Black Fang could feel the change in the magicka flow.

"There!" Louise said. "Riften is practically inpenetrable. This ward negates any physical or magical presence that attempts to penetrate it, and proceeds to destroy the threat. In the meantime, our spells and arrows can penetrate it from the inside."

"I took the liberty of ensuring that Conjuration, and summoning in general, has absolutely no effect within the wall. Just to be safe." Lyndis said. "It seemed like a wise way to ensure there would be no threats from within."

(Basically, the next army that tries to invade Riften has a surprise coming it's way. Congratulations Tate, you made the Black Fang paranoid, and over cautious. (Kinda.))

(This ward can be bent by authorized personel (High-ranking Black Fang.) by the gates, to allow people to enter or leave the city.)
