Still full of doubts and questions about the development of this new challenge, Azhur thanked the assembly and went back to his room, looking serious and perhaps even grim all along the way. Dance since his faith had died was strangely unmeaningful to him.

There, he asked his squire Othor to bring the Red Banner to him.

On his bed, he spent the rest of night trying to decypher the answer on the fabric to the following question : Wwhat would be your advice to convince Wilkairtha to join our Fellowship as its Axe bearer ?

Loran, questing

[OOC]
When I rolled a '2' for your talent, I thought you
would be getting a marginal failure at best... Then I
rolled a '1' for the Centuar... Oops.
[OOC]

The normal tight-lipped Tallboot seems quite
conversational this evening; either the presence of
scantily-clad dancers or the effects of the alcohol.
You know what they say about the horse-men.

"He is indeed, as you say, cursed and dangerous.
Understanding him takes a great deal of effort and
patience. He is most friendly towards us, the
Beastmen, to whom he at least holds some affinity. To
his credit he has never discriminated against any
kind. He carries with him the best characteristics of
all the species - and the worst."

"After the rampage through Seshnela all those years
ago, he was eventually driven to the forests. I
believe he wishes to exact some sort of revenge on the
human kingdoms - he has a great disdain for
civilisation; it would seem the Mostal side of his
personality is somehow repressed."

"The pack, as you can imagine, are quite competent.
They are modest in number, but rather elite. Only the
best warriors and wizards are given the 'opportunity'
to become pack memebrs; the rest are eaten. Whilst
some no doubt resent their status as lycanthropes and
their are stories of failed rebellions against him, he
retains support, not only through his strength and
magic as an immortal being, but also due to his
incredible charisma."

Tallboot seems slightly distracted by something behind
you... He excuses himself and joins a dancer; he seems
to engage himself in what appears to be a rather
competent paired Heortland mountain dance*.

* Not unlike a Scottish highland dance
