Before we start this I want you to meet some people.

“Ahum, ahum…” A soft voice sounded from under the cloak.

“This man right here, is Ja’keesh… owner and publisher of the Black Horse Courier printing press.” The old Khajiit smiled:

“This one, bids you welcome.”

The hooded man then walked over to the next man at the round table.

“This honourable man over here…” The hooded man landed his hands on the shoulders of the character.

“…Is Geronius Maxus, also known as Bishop to the public. Head of Secret Intelligence in the Penitus Oculatus.”

“How do you do?” Bishop nodded.

“This man right here…, is Hymir Golden-Glow, manufracturer and deliverer of steel and ammunition across the entire empire.”

The Nord simply nodded at the newest member while the hooded man moved over to yet another person at the shadowy round table and gestured:

“Marcelus Doctusio. Leader of the Valenwood woodcutters association, or: VWA”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“A pleasure.” Marcelus said with his chin high.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“And you undoubtedly already know General Kolan. Chief in-command of the Cyrodiilic legions.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">The old General saluted.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">In response, the newcomer looked mildly impressed.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“And you?” he then asked the hooded man.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“Me? … Well I’m…” He pulled down the cloak.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“Venoratti. Member of the elder council and ex-advisor to our late emperor.” He said with a smile.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“hah… Well what do you know…”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“I never imagined you to have the balls for a coup, Venoratti…” The admiral of the Imperial fleet Kristo Cervaine said with a grin.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“Well… Are you in?” The politician asked a bit nervously.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“Hmm, Where’s Samuel? He not in this little group?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">Venoratti looked a bit confused.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“Samuel?” He wondered out loud as he looked back at the table with fellow conspirators

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">Geronius leaned forward. “Yes, well… We had to let him go, remember? That Morag tong fiasco?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">Venoratti didn’t seem all that phased by it.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“Oh… That?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“Well you and Ja’keesh solved that pretty well didn’t you? All the blame the P.O. would’ve received on that one man.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“So I take it, he’s not in then?” the admiral asked.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“obviously not.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“Ok… Then I’m in.” The admiral smiled.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“Wonderful…” Venoratti said with a dark smile.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“Your access to the Imperial Fleet are of vital importance. If we don’t have control over it, we can just forget this coup.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“If I may ask though, why a coup?” The admiral sounded a bit uncertain all of a sudden.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“Well, isn’t it obvious?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">Kristo wanted to say that it was, but it really wasn’t. At least, not to him anyways.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“… No?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“Because that good for nothing Emperor didn’t want to declare open war on this mages of the Adamantine pact… The fool thought that he could negotiate his way out of it. But unfortunately, his age caught up with him…”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">The admiral’s eyes widened.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“You saying you killed the Emperor?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“is that a problem? Kristo?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">The imperial’s eyes looked around the table. All of the conspirators looked at him, dead serious.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“well?”

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“euh… No…” he admitted. Though it wasn’t certain whether it was out of genuine fear or genuine fervour for the idea.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"CalibriLight","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">“Good. Then let us begin…”
