    (And now for the big unveiling!)

    Carric simply draws back his hood. Looking the Commander in the eyes, he says, "Hello, my name is Carric Theolon."

    Commander Theolon just stares at Carric for a moment, before putting out his hand "Well then. I hope your explanation is a good one, because otherwise I don't know what the hell I'm looking at. Other then myself, obviously.

    "Yes, that is correct. I imagine that I have quite a bit to learn... remember... whatever. At this moment I'm more concerned with trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I'm talking to myself, face to face." Carric smiles slightly at that last sentence.

    Commander Theolon smiles back "Don't worry, on that point you're not alone. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how we'd go about getting your memories back."

    He then stops to think for a moment, and asks "And by the way, how did you learn his name? Valindrel's name is old knowledge, it'd be quite difficult to find it"

    Elden raises an eyebrow.
    What she wants? You say it as if the Raven Queen is specifically out to get you. Why would that be?

    "I'd imagine it has something to do with my past. You probably already know this, but yes, I was a servent of Valindrel. Emphasis on was. I don't know what it is she would want for with me, be it good or ill, which was what I was trying to learn when I asked."

    You can tell he's annoyed at Adalhard for beating around the bush, being vague and mysterious when he just wants a straight answer, but aside from that he seems to be sincere.

    She only ever said one sentence regarding you: "Sniff him out and stop his plot", so you probably understand why we're approaching the subject with trepidation, seeing how little we knew of who you are. She also said that you hold one of Valindrell's phylacteries, which is what we seek.

    And Elden wishes Adalhard would've been a bit less liberal with what he discloses. Especially when we're talking to the person whose plot we've been told to stop...

    Indeed. Arcturus' decendant dug into it but a few days ago. Valindrell is currently holding residence in Barricade where he's opened up a portal to the Far Realm, but he didn't seem very active. I think he's waiting for something...

    "He's likely checking to see if his former servants are still alive. I'm surprised he hasn't tried to contact me yet. So you six are hunting throughout the planes, looking for the pieces of his phylactery? Interesting choice, taking on the Shadowfell first"

    Our mission is urgent, sir. We don't have time to be picky. We need the phylactery, and anything you may know about Valindrell, if you will help us. Please, can we go somewhere more discreet?

    "This place is discreet enough, no one is watching. I'd gladly give you the phylactery, if I could" Commander Theolon begins, taking off his right hand gauntlet. On the back of his hand, embeded in it, is a relatively large triangular shape. (sorry to break immersion but the best example I can give is that it's shaped like a pizza slice). The shard glows with a grayish white light. "This is one of the pieces. If I recall he called it a Planar Shard. I've never seen his phylactery in one piece, but from my understanding, each piece must be brought together. Unfortunately for you all, removing this will likely kill me." He stops, and takes a deep breath "However, when my work here is done, as it soon will be thanks to you six, I will give it to you"

    He then turns to Adalhard, smirking a bit "Although that would be interesting, I'm afraid that'll be out of the question."

    "The Caissan King is probably not the last one able to rise to their top and Jarod is very much alive and probably will remain there until his eventual death which is not likely soon; not to mention Asterion and outliers are still very much healthy while it is the Draugen the one having to deal with internal betrayals apart from external threats.

    What are you implying you will send us to do which will suddenly reverse this all?"

    If you wonder why we ended up here, it's not because of choice, but rather the outcome of a desperate charge on your former employer after he'd managed to open the portal. He beat us all, scantly surprising, but the work of Pelor drew us here instead of to our graves. This was simply the best place to start looking in after that.

    Say, do you know where any of the other phylactery pieces could be found, or did Valindrell leave you in the dark about them?

    "It's like Adalhard implied. I've been alive for much, much longer than I should be. This Planar Shard keeps me alive." he answers

    Juniper:

    You're fairly certain he's being truthfull, and although you're not 100% sure (you don't even know what a Planar Shard IS) you don't doubt it could do what he says it can.

    Also, you can tell Felix appreciates the concern.


    To Adalhard, Commander Theolon says "The Cult of Caissa is organizing their forces in one area, planning an attack. I will take the entire force of Draugen, and launch a pre emptive strike. My hope is that you six will head to the Caissan headquarters and take their King. He leads from the back, safely behind his honour guard. But I'm positive that you'll be able to take him out. Without their leader, the Caissan's will be thrown into disarray, easy pickings for us. The remaining factions in the city are strong, but nothing Felix won't be able to handle when I pass it on to her"

    Felix looks a little sad after that last comment, and squeezes Juniper's arm back.

    Finally, to Elden, Commander Theolon says "Unfortunately, no, I don't know of where the other pieces would be"
