(I've been called many things, Shilly. Those are just some of the kinder ones.)

Caedes' thought was interrupted by the raspy clearing of a throat. When he turned, a bald Dremora warrior stood before him, armor and eyes glowing in the shadows created by the unlit chamber behind him.

"Ah, Kynmarcher Zylnaz. A pleasant surprise," Caedes nodded, emotionless behind his hood.

"Same to you, Caedes," Zylnaz said, bowing in response.

"What, exactly, are you doing here, Zylnaz? Where are the Marknyaz? The Valkynaz? What is it that commands their attention?"

"Well, the resistances in the provinces..."

"Yes?"

"A Dark Anchor was closed in Skyrim. We haven't yet heard from Ulfgard or the forces sent to guard it yet. We suspect that the resistance in Skyrim somehow closed it. The Markyn and Valkyn have returned to Coldharbour at our Lord's request."

"To do what, exactly?"

"I don't know, Caedes. Probably to consult or guard our Lord."

"And you don't know anything more of this?"

"I'm afraid not, Caedes. The Markyn and Valkyn never miss an opportunity to flaunt their superior rank."

Caedes did not respond, turning his attention back towards Skyrim and gazing northwards through the smoke and fire, silent.

"My lord?" Zylnaz asked, stepping forward.

"Ready a company of Dremora, Zylnaz, and lead them to find exactly what is going on."

"Yes, my lord," Zylnaz answered, bowing before he turned and vanished into the shadows.
