Spheres of Influence: Alliance

"I feel I must point out that, our agent did still manage to enter Thornton's hold. Despite almost being struck dead and revealed, and the elves are assumedly much more practiced at infiltrating and fighting dwarven defences than I am if the history of their war with the dwarven empire is anything to go by. But, I agree on asking for support and knowledge of their defences since it certainly reacted violently to the presence of an elven-armed trespasser."

"Perhaps the reward money from the elves could be used to fund a research project set in Thorjron that the rest of the Alliance, sans Nor Vurneus, could copy, to research and understand the ancient runes and knowledge available there? It would benefit the dwarven people as a whole, and help protect us all too. And Kor Vurneus would likely simply pay separately to hire specialists to install runic protection rather then learn how to do it ourselves."

"Also, as a note, it is one of the rings that grants near-invisibility, and the destroyed cloak merely granted protection and also its own minor stealth enhancements. By all means, let the items be tested and shown to those here. The sword and ring of invisibility are specifically interesting to be seen used, as is the ring of rejuvenation, although we never really accurately stress-tested that particular item." Exiro touched his own slightly wounded leg actually. "Apart from our dwarven agent who barely survived Thorjron's defences I suppose. He would probably be the most familiar with that particular items effects."
