"Have you ever tried contacting the Knights of Jehanna, Brother?" Jack asked, nodding in gratitude at an old lady of the castle that just gave Jack a warm cup of mead, even though he hadn't asked for it. The old lady was probably a servant, but Jack couldn't be sure.

"No, I haven't. Tensions have been rising, unfortunately." Bjorn started, leaning against the wall while he crossed his arms. "Daniel Sparrow-Flight's siblings are planning to kill him in a duel and take his place, While Nicholas Jehun is fearing his father, who will also attempt to take his place very soon. I have not spoken to them for a long time, and I doubt they'll join us."

"I see.. But if someone were to solve these issues..?"

Bjorn looked up, cocking his head slightly. "Then they would most likely join. Why do you want 2 extra knights to join us? Am I not good enough already?" He asked sarcastically, which was very unusual of him.

"Ofcourse not," Jack smirked, taking a sip of his mead. "But we can use fine warriors as them - our forces consist of lightweight ebony and normal ebony warriors, which certainly gives us quite an advantage in the battlefield concerning weaponry and armory. We also have a large number of skilled spellswords and mages at our hand, both healers and offensive mages - not even starting about the Masked-Ones assassins..." He said, grinning.

"The cult does not stand a chance, it seems.. the only thing we have to fear are their leaders, who can be quite powerful, as witnessed today. And with the Dominion at our sides, we will certainly overpower them."

"Do not forget the clans." Jack added. "They are strong as well."

"Perhaps, but the Dominion has both arms and magic - while the clans only use arms. The Dominion is more valuable." Bjorn noted.

Jack frowned. Bjorn rarely joked around or said things based on his personal opinion, but he didn't think ridiculing or talking bad about the Clans would do any good.

"You forget that we need every allie, Bjorn. You can count on the clans to help us. Surely they know that they cannot beat the Cult on their own. I'm not sure what would have happened if we weren't sieging Solitude as well, but I doubt it would've turned out in their favor. Perhaps they realized this and also realize how important allies are."

"Did you not propose our help multiple times? They are stubborn and cling to traditions - which I have no problem with - but if their ideals result in the loss of good men, those ideals are not meant to be followed. I'm surprised I managed to convince them."

"Perhaps because you are a warrior, and not an assassin like me or Antoine."

"Most likely. And then the dominion.. atleast we have one thing similar with the Ghost-Wolves.. we both don't like them."

"Do not talk bad about our temporary allies, Bjorn. Alliances built on gossip, insults, and a lack of mutual respect are alliances that will turn into rivalries, and the allies will become enemies." Jack said, being sort of annoyed by this conversation.
