Chapter VI: Councils of the Elvenkind

The city of Istarugah was the capital of the High Elves, and it was built in a wall of silver hue. Great trees grew around the walls, serving as a shield. Arcane towers and guardian rune stones were erected by the elves as a means of protection.
Within the walls, the city itself was divided into parts: the Outer Sanctum and the Inner Sanctum. The Outer Sanctum was the heart of commerce, trade and lore of the elves throughout the elven realm, serving as the shield towards the heart of Istarugah, the Inner Sanctum.
Temples, spires and libraries dominated the Inner Sanctum, where it was the heart of all religious activities of the Order of Tirisfil, the religious body of the elves. Within the Inner Sanctum, at the centre stood the long-revered Ithilien Palace, where the great mind, far-sighted Queen Khoo,, High Queen of the Kingdom of Istarugah reigned for two thousand years. The Palace was the nexus of the councils of the five regions.
This day, Queen Khoo sat on her throne, looking at her loyal subjects. Standing beside her was the Holy Guardian Lady Chie Kuan, who was the head of the Order of Tirisfil. She was the embodiment of starlight, whose face reflects so.
In front of them stood Lord Afdal, Shaman of Azjoldin, Lord Timothy, Minstrel of Alterin and Lord Jerome, Arcanist of Silvermoon. Being the leaders of their respective regions, they were all summoned by Queen Khoo to answer the threat of Avernis.
“You’re all hereby summoned here to take council of the threat of Avernis, the Nether Lord who was chained by the combined powers of elves and humans two thousand years ago. Now it has broken its chains and burst forth from the crevice in Anarakor, and ravaged the lands of the Dragon-lords. The Dark Lord of the Dragon Lord Pivinesh has requested for aid. What is your will?”
Lord Afdal, one who was very short, quickly said, “Your Highness, the Dragon-lords are our foe, thus unworthy for us to help. Let us sit back, and see their destruction, thus eradicating our darkest enemies for the last five centuries.”
“I object the Shaman’s opinion on this matter, as the Dragon-lords, though evil in nature, serves…” Lord Timothy stopped for a while, “serves as the buffer zone for us. If it fails, then we’ll be exposed under the direct threat of Avernis, and we’re no match against him.”
“So what’s your conclusion?”
“Your pardon, Holy Guardian, but I wished to say that we can ‘use’ the Dragon-lords as our allies for the moment, and when the war ends, we can take the advantage to destroy their lands once and for all.”
This greatly appalled everyone, and Queen Khoo was dismayed, while Lord Jerome rebuked him, saying, “We’re the elves, and thus immortal. We’re protected by the Light, and we’re tasked to use our Light-bind powers to make the lands a better place. How can we ever consider that to take advantage over others in distress?”
“Then, Lord Jerome, what is your will?” asked Lord Timothy.
“The Dragon-lords can be treated as our buffer, but we mustn’t assail them. Instead, we must help them with all our might. Then they can relinquish their hatreds against us voluntarily. One enemy less is always better than one enemy more.”
This sentence seemed to invoke the thoughts of Lady Chie Kuan, as though as she recalled something of the past. Thus she said, “If you’re thinking of assisting the Dragon-lords, you’ve to ask for the opinions of the human Kingdom of Ossir down south, especially the Knights of Koruskan, who are staunch enemies of them since the founding of the Order.”
“We have no time to ask their opinions. They’re just humble people, not worth it!”
“Lord Timothy, if you’re to say the statement days later, you are dead for sure. The Archknight and the Archpriestess from the Kingdom of Ossir, together with the Archbishop and our princess are now on the way to here, to seek the council of us to ally against Avernis. Just for your information, the one who leads them have little tolerance to insolence and ridiculous statements.”
