(@Nelthro: Why is Zirkan's searching for the dungeon? He doesn't know that the Bonemask Pirates are being kept there at the Fort. Last time any of Naerion's men heard from Vander and his men was several hours ago when they departed for their infiltration mission.)

Like all of the Imperial City, the White-Gold Tower bore the scars of the past battles that took place there during the last hundred years. At first glance it the structure looked good as new, but a keen observer could still need the lasting damage left on the stone.

The Blade led Nelthro to the antechamber. "You may wait here until you are called to the throne room, should his Imperial Majesty accept your request." He gestured for Nelthro to take a seat at one of the sofas and armchairs, then departed.

At the doors to the throne room, two more Blades stood guard. They didn't pay Nelthro any attention.

Ever since the Order of the Blades was reinstated as the Emperor's guards by Darius, they took over guard duties for the whole of the White-Gold Tower. There was not a single Legionnaire guard in the structure, only the white and red knights sworn to the Emperor.

Lucien's men had been able to capture over a dozen Orcs in the water following the battle. Among them, the injured Orc captain Shelakh gro-Betnikh.

When they boarded the Katariah, they found the Prince on deck speaking with his First Mate.

"We will head for Betony as soon as the men ready the Virene for departure." Marcus Caius said. "We'll drop off the frightned lordling, resupply and have repairs on the Cassander's ship."

"That would be best. I fear the Virene wouldn't make a direct trip to Daggerfall in her current condition." Florius agreed.

Quintus talked with a nearby Imperial and handed him his logbook. "Continue the inspections, then report to the Praefect once you are done. Inform him that I was reassigned by the Procuratore."

After relaying that order, Quintus followed after Evalana.

The pirates pushed Roderon towards the pier where the Revenge had docked. "Fetch your First Mate, that pretty little thing." The large Nord Captain told him. "Commander Freydis want her there as well, in case something happens to you."
