-Several days pass while [[people:​Xarth]],​ [[people:​Nigel]],​ [[people:​amer_terrante]],​ and [[people:​Belenus]] are kept in their rooms away from the others inside the Cathedral. Several times a day a priest visits bringing food, drink, and companionship. Although he asks each of them to pray with him for guidance and hopefully conversion to [[lore:Temple of Light|The Light]] each of them politely refuse. Amer constantly tries to convince the priest that he was simply the pawn of a demon, but the man long ago looked into Amer’s heart and found only corruption and a thirst for power.+Several days pass while [[people:​Xarth]],​ [[people:​Nigel]],​ [[people:​amer_terrante]],​ and [[people:​Belenus]] are kept in their rooms away from the others inside the Cathedral.

 On the start of the third day the priest informs Belenus that his trial has been prepared. If all goes well he will walk away a free man, if not then he will be hung alongside Amer. Bel is led into a small chamber with a single chair facing three men sitting behind a table. Baron [[people:​Donat Lange]], the Lord Marshal of Bornheim, Hochwürden [[people:​Edvin]] of the Temple of Light, and [[people:​Alanna]] of the Guardians of Order will judge him. They read off the charges laid against him and read from his previous statements. After Belenus agrees with what was said and adds nothing else, additional witnesses are called. On the start of the third day the priest informs Belenus that his trial has been prepared.

-[[people:​Mirwen]] of the Elves enters the room. She offers a cure for Belenus as he is currently under her tutelage in the magic of war. The three judges are dismayed to hear that he has fallen under the sway of the elves and even worse is practicing magic outside the confines of the church. The [[lore:Temple of Light#​Hochwürden]] asks him again to reconsider the cost to his soul if he should continue – to look upon Amer and see what the judgement awaiting him.+[[people:​Mirwen]] of the Elves enters the room.

 Mirwen laughs at the feeble men and tells them they have been fighting demons longer than their kind has been scratching in the dirt. Belenus is released into the care of the elves. Mirwen laughs at the feeble men and tells them they have been fighting demons longer than their kind has been scratching in the dirt.

-When Xarth is escorted to his trial, [[people:​Brizanthimus]] is asked to be in attendance as well. Briz has recovered somewhat from the sickness affecting the magicians in the city. In attendance is the Lord Marshal, Hochwürden,​ and a [[lore:Karashites]] priest that neither of them know. After a few opening statements the Karashite calls in Father [[people:​Jana]],​ who traveled to [[atlas:​Tminir Tower]] at the same time as Xarth, Briz, and Amer. He tells them of the death of his mentor, Father [[people:​Ernst]],​ and swears to the fact that a Holy Sword of Karash was stolen by one of them; although he does not know which one. They were the only people to reach the storage room before him and the relic was already gone.+When Xarth is escorted to his trial, [[people:​Brizanthimus]] is asked to be in attendance as well.

 Xarth tries to move around the truth of what happened, but the three judges are too astute in their observations. Eventually he comes clean that it was [[people:​Rakul Shaleem]] that stole the blade. He does not know where Rukul is at the moment, the Karashite priest accepts this – much to the anger of Father Jana. Father Jana is dismissed and thanked; although he clearly is not happy with the result. Xarth tries to move around the truth of what happened, but the three judges are too astute in their observations.

-As the last of the sun’s setting rays touch the town a new glow appears on the horizon all around the city. At first the people panic expecting it to be either a demon or [[lore:Reavers]] army. Instead nine of the most beautiful people in all of existence steadily walk towards the city. Called the [[creatures:​True Elf]], First Ones, or sometimes First Elves most will have only heard of them in legends. They are so rare that even the most worldly traveled will have not seen a single one in hundreds of lifetimes. Of the several thousand elves in the valley only a handful of them have even seen their elusive kind. Now there are nine of them coming towards the city.+As the last of the sun’s setting rays touch the town a new glow appears on the horizon all around the city.

 As they come closer their elven beauty is so breath-taking and many people near them go blind as if staring into the sun. The elves of [[atlas:​Bornheim]] and drop to a knee in silent respect and reflect upon how far they have fallen. Tears fall unbidden and unabashedly from all within the city. Even the city itself is changed by their passage. Stone bends, water flows, and plants spring to life where they walk. The great tree at the heart of the Elven Quarter grows over two feet and blossoms to life and animals that before existed spring from its boughs. Large pods grow and hang from the tree. As they come closer their elven beauty is so breath-taking and many people near them go blind as if staring into the sun.

 Belerus knows what the elves told him about the nine beings, but he chooses to hold his tongue on the matter. Instead he approaches Lord Brandr with news of the arriving elven grain ships. Lord Brandr thinks highly of the young Krandryian'​s plan and supports it when Belerus approaches the soon-to-be-king. Ælfric greets his kinsman warmly and listens as Belerus explains what is happening. The would-be king believes this would be the best time for the public announcement. It is a time for all people to come together and stand against the darkness. Belerus knows what the elves told him about the nine beings, but he chooses to hold his tongue on the matter.

-The final decision is to rescue [[people:Anna]], Ælfric’s mother, who is being held by Lord and [[people:​Lady Liese]]. Belerus and Lord Brandr agree to undertake this task. Lady Liese has extended several invitations to Lord Brandr to discuss affairs of the city and this is the perfect opportunity. Belerus will accompany him as a bodyguard and use an opportunity to slip inside and find her. One of the household maids is working for him, so she will be able to help.+The final decision is to rescue [[people:Anne of Horne]], Ælfric’s mother, who is being held by Lord and [[people:​Lady Liese]].

 While Lord Brandr is in the parlor with Lord and Lady Liese, Belerus manages to slip inside with a wink and nod towards the other guards about a fair maid he met that works for Lady Liese. He finds the maid in question who directs him to Anna’s room with but a single guard outside. Belerus draws his war magic into this legs and charges down the hallway at inhuman speeds, crashing into the guard. The guard is not so easily defeated and the two of them trade blows, but he is still no match for a Son of [[atlas:​Krandryia]]. While Lord Brandr is in the parlor with Lord and Lady Liese, Belerus manages to slip inside with a wink and nod towards the other guards about a fair maid he met that works for Lady Liese.
