( @Metal - Aval isn't my character, and I didn't even read yours. It doesn't change anything. You're not getting into Cloud Ruler. Period. )

( @Roller - Cloud Ruler is too far away from Bruma for anyone to see what happened. Also, the Sheperd was within Cloud Ruler when it happened, Aval had already closed the gates before Saren killed him. No one outside Cloud Ruler knows he's dead. )

Aval helped himself a dusty, yet surprisingly well-preserved bottle of Surilie Brothers Wine. While it certainly did not hold quite the taste as it did in better times, the wine could still quench a potent thirst. Saren began cutting down lanners of smoked ham, glad not to dine on anymore dry meat and tasteless water in the middle of a snowy wasteland. The Dunmer in noble clothing cleared his throat.

"Before we begin, I would enjoy if you knew that bringing you here was Saren's idea. You are free to leave at any moment. Only once we share a baptize in blood following an Oath do we become bonded 'til death do us part." Aval commenced.


 * "Saren and I share a dream. One where men and women rule themselves independantly. I've seen this New Empire, as well its sworn nemesis, the Argonians. Both feature the same flaws as the old Empire did; heavy bureaucracy, corruption and a thirst for power and territory. Neither of them can benefit this land. Saren and I share a dream where we will abolish all forms of governance. Each city shall rule itself independantly, much like your Riverwood."

"We are not an extreme group of zealots, however. What you saw at Helgen... is not how we operate. I understand I may have given you the wrong impressions of our ideals, but I hereby swear this will never happen again." Saren added, literally and evidently regretting his actions.

"Where others fight for territory and wealth, we fight for the better of the people. We are not soldiers, and even less are we heroes. We do not seek glory. Rather, we act from behind the curtain. We do not seek fame or absolution -- nothing may ever absolve us of our crimes during the Great War. We seek only the common man's best interests... with force, if necessary." Aval finished before sipping more wine.
