Asherons Call: Coldeve Festival Stone Meeting

High Queen Elysa Strathelar has arrived at the Coldeve Festival Stone. Located outside of Kara.

Elysa Strathelar says, "People of Dereth, I thank you for coming."

Elysa looks out over the crowd as if searching for someone.

Elysa Strathelar says, "I have called you here to speak of what has happened." "My son was once the target of Martine's rage. He meant to strike at Asheron for crimes that were not his, but the Virindi's."

"We made the choice to pass through those first portals regardless of what we may want to believe. They may have called to us, but it was our choice."A choice that I would not have undone. " "Over the past year he has worked to allow passage to Marae Lassel a place he knew was inhabited by an Olthoi Queen."

Elysa's tone takes on a timbre of anger and rage.

Elysa Strathelar says, "Ever since Martine was changed, he has been lost in a struggle with that which the Virindi placed within him. He is losing, or so it appears." "He has also tried to penetrate my ranks and attempt to assassinate both me and my son Borelean."

Elysa shoots a glance to Asheron.

Elysa Strathelar says, "I'm not a woman who is driven by her anger. But I cannot stand by and watch this madman tear this world apart." "I care not for his salvation, even though Asheron believes he can be saved." "If you see him, I say kill him. See him brought low. "

Asheron closes his eyes and appears to be mumbling quietly to himself. His eyes suddenly pop open and he reaches for Elysa.

Elysa looks to Asheron, and speaks more quietly.

Elysa Strathelar says, "If you see him... " "What is it, Ash?"

Asheron waves his hand, a portal appears.

Asheron says, "Elysa, the ocean...something has risen. I must see this." "Something has changed. The northeast. The closest homestead is Norstead. From there it is east. Quickly!" "Elysa, we must go back to my island. I must see if this has happened anywhere else. This is not right. " "The invisible river is changing. Something is gravely wrong."

Asheron and High Queen Elysa Strathelar have returned to his castle to study the strange events surrounding the citadel to the southeast of Aerlinthe.

Asheron and Elysa have returned to his Castle.
