PALACE-IRONMOUND

  The Emperor's Palace. has three tall spires, rising   a little  half as high, as  the   Great Iron Mound... in the middle of the  spires is  the Great  Hall , with several large  council rooms and such that are spoked out from the HAll.

  Barracks   are set  between the spires, House  100 Trooper in each barracks


  Below the spires  are  tunnels that lead to the great Iron Mound... for    the rulers and their families  , from either place, to escape to the other.. human and Elf  troops  can aid the  great Mound  by entering through the   entrances on the surface.

   The Inner wall is 25 feet  high and 20 feet thick. troops are station on and inside the wall.

  there is  a moat, that connects to the storm river 50 yards  wide, and very deep...serpents  are allowed to swim freely from the river to the moat..it also makes  good fishing  for  the people , if they do not wish to go to one of the City's lakes  or  go down to the river.

  The Outter  wall is 25  feet high and 20 feet  thick there are towers  set every 300 yards.

 The rear of  the palace has Gardens with  fountains and such, and  some raised balconies , to see the river  and area's between the Mound and the Palace.

PALACE-IRONMOUND

Luthien wakes up in the assigned quarters the princess gave him. While he might've stayed at the Temple like his brother Knight, when a Knight makes a promise, he keeps it. And so it is that another promise is kept. Still, he spends his fair share of time on his morning devotions to the Huntress...and a little longer, because he couldn't stay in the temple as usual.

Luthien, dressed in a more 'courtly outfit' instead of his armor (Yes, he had the ability to dress for the occasion) would head out for the morning breakfast, then. Time enough to don the official armor of his station later. To the patio!

PALACE-IRONMOUND

 as he  is  escorted to the Patio, The Football remains  quiet until they reach the  broad , double glass doors, that open on to the patio.

 There is  a large Table  with  the Emperor  sitting at the Head, his back to Grweat Ironmound  that  rise   into the sky behind him. His consort is on his right hand side, Axehandle is on his  left.. Next to the Consort is The princess, with an open chair  across from her.

 the rest are  minor relatives and officals of the palace,  counting Luthien there are 24  people. The Princess has  one hand maiden  standing behind her..the other  seems to be...missing...


 The Emperor waves to Lurhien,..Come On Lad.. take your seat....  we are about to start the first course...

Luthien takes his proper place at the table...and he noticed exactly where he was sitting. That's no accident. The Emperor's making a statement, and he can be sure the nobles gathered here haven't missed that statement either.

"Thank you, your majesty."

Luthien explains his place among the arrows succinctly.

"I have my own purpose there. Among other things, my presence tempers the blood lust a little. And there are sometimes those among the enemy that do not deserve death. I seek such people out...and offer them a better path. Not all hunts lead to death. Some hunts...lead to salvation."

As for saving the princess, he shares that story with a little less gravity and a little more levity, as it's more 'fun' story then his real purpose among the arrows.

  The Morningfest goes rarther well Axehandle  will step in from time to time when some of the 'other people' try to question Luthien on the roel the Arrows  play in adding the  Crown.

  His answer is always,with threats from Hargen, The red Isle, The red Eves, and  The People of The Sands? we do not  have enough troops to spread around. Companies , Like the Arrows, help us with some  tasks we could not ask of  normal troops....it just so happens, this last TAsk was....a bit more important.

 The Emperor Stands  , and others follow suite,..Please, My friends  finish your MornignFest..I must make ready for the arean... Sir  Luthien? You will ride  with us>?  No?

 The Princess  grins  as her and her  remaining LAdy are about to  go off to get dressed as well.

Luthien nods, "Of course, your majesty."

He will make ready after the morning fest, and head with the royal entourage to their destination.

PALACE-IRONMOUND

 Palacs..after  return to ironmound  with Tou Folks))))

 the  group walked  down the Road of Kings..  troops  were  spaced  as they would be for the arrival  of  dignitaries.

 Reedrick snorts.....Aint  them Tou Bastards already here?

 aye.... but they are here for us... though, i do not think its  for  respect.

 ..Hey Cousin?  Look at  some of the troops....

 Kree looked from one sides  of the  Raod..a trooper  or a Non Com  would  stamp thier  spear, or thump thier  chest over their Heart.

 Kree smiled a bit,  And  PAid  more  attention,  thumping  his own  heart  for each who  acknowledge him.

 I'm thinking  General AxeHandle made sure some of yer one boys are here...

 Kree smiled,..Its  nice i  still have 'boys' in the palace...

 at the  Bridge a  Nice shiny Colonel  greeted them.....Greetings, CAptain Quickshadow... you will of course, surrdener your weapons  and,,

 Ivy whisper,ahh..for fuck's sake....

 You are?

 I am Colonel  Happenster... Late  of  Engar..I now live in Ironmound.. My Parents  are the Heppensters  of  Jewerly  fame in Engar...

 The  dwarf chuckled in his chest.

 Kree  wiggled a finger to the colonel and leaned  close to him...the Colonel listened .....look?.. This is not Engar.. i don't  give   one orcshit who your people are... I am Kree  fucking Quickshadow , of The Black Timber...former CAptain of the Palace... Captain of the   nasty Unit of Crimson Arrows   in the  Company... now?... you can try to take our weapons...you will die of course.. quite heroic  and all that..but?.. why?.. are the Horse Humpers in there  armed?

 The colonel nodded his head.

 ..now?  as  an Engar fellow.. what would happen if you came to the palace, and i wanted to take your weapons..but i let Red Isle  Halflings in there   with thier weapons...

 WHAt!..THEY... kree held a finger to his lips.. the Colonel whispered harshly....they aren't   red Isle Haflings!

 they are to me and my people?.. they tried to kill us twice..and all they got in return is dead folks....so... i am talkign really nice  now..because i do not want you to lose  face in front of  all these troopers...and.. if you think you have  enough troopers here to stop us?..you are wrong..but?..you will be the first to die, so you will enevr see how it turns out...however.. this is your chance to wave us through, ebcause  we are 'trusted allies' of the Empire...beats being dead..right?....and..shoudl  we behave badly inside  the Palace, at elast you can die  like a hero infront of lots of   people with coin..how does that sound?..hmmm?

 The  Colonel  stepped  back and  Cleared his  throat.....Will we allow  these  trusted allies  of the Empire   to keep thier weapons..I have warned them , we will act, should they use them in the Palace...

  Kree shifted his eyes to the Colonel  and the   walked over the Bridge..as they neared  the  Gate a Captain with a Fancy helmet  approached   the Group....his smile   wide...

 Kree and the larger  Human   hugged...Captain... thank you for not killign the colonel..he has alot to learn...

 Captain Antok?... Captain of the Palce  Guard...

  Better? captain of the Emperor's  Body guard..... i can go any damn palce  i want, Bed any one's wife i want and eat whatever apples from a merchant's  cart I want..no one can touch me...

 Ivy chuckles.....damn!  free Apples..where do i sign up?

 Antok    shook wrists  with   Ivy and  Reedrick,,,..lots of new  faces , Kree?..lot less familar ones?

 some left...some died...some both?..but we are here....

 they began to  walk into the gates.....not good in there  Kree...The High Officer  is here himself.. crying about  dead Tou  people being tossed to the serpents...

 yeah?..well.. it wasn't an accident... they came there for me..Mercs  and the  horsehumpers...

Antok  looked.....do they screw thier horses?

 of course they do?...did you not ever heard they shout..'Mount up!"

Antok Laughed.. there was   the Tou sound being played.....they are entering from the other side...since they  'stayed' in the  guests wing.. You'll go in after  footman signals...
