"Indeed that is so Icthya! My thoughts on the matter
is that the Forest of Segurane is a new home for
Aldryami who migrate here from Kanthor Isles and
Tarinwood or elsewhere. But surely", the Baron
remarks, "You do not want the city itself? That would
be most inappropriate to your kind!"

"And do not forget the agreements you made with my
people", squeaks a voice. Sitting upon a rock, as tall
as he can reach, is the bazak Rotterex. "We too
suffered in these events and we carried out our tasks
with goodwill."

The Baron nods at the rat-king. "The City of Seguarane
is the ancient capital of Seshnela. It would seem that
I am the last surviving member of royal standing, or
at least the last member with a land intact. I would
have been more than happy to let Anzhur become King,
which would have been both appropriate to both his
heart and his actions - but such personal rewards are
evidently secondary to your greater quest."

"I will take your advice; what do you wish me to do
with this city?"
