Copenhagen Scene 2: Town Meeting
"The Cyberpapal agents were last seen in Frederiksberg, where the elves currently live. The security gate is not far from here, but I should warn you that they are very distrustful of humans.
"I am not familiar with any of the other realities other than Core Earth and Aysle. But I do know a bit about war history. Propeller planes were popular during the First and Second World Wars, so I would suggest starting there.
"But I do have a mission that I think you would be ideally suited for. One of the things Core Earth excels at is governmental structure, especially representative democracy. Denmark is a constitutional monarchy, which means the Queen still holds power but has delegated most of it to city and provincial councils. And part of the wisdom of these councils is that they are made up of representatives of all the people. All the people.
"I have extended offers of representation to the elves, and Eruvel Cathfaine has expressed approval. The Vikings have been less cooperative, but I suspect they will eventually come around. I have not heard of them raiding recently, so that's a good start.
"Where I need you is that I would like to extend an invitation to the troll leader, Tongue Lasher Frold. None of my city officials are willing to approach them with the invitation, but they don't have your unique talents. Will you take this invitation to her?" She produces a parchment envelope with a wax seal.
