“To those our most trusted diplomats, we are forever grateful for the service you have done both us and our dwarfish allies,†praised Queen Olivia, ruler of a small Kingdom just beyond the reaches of Kebiras in the outskirts of the Outlands.
A sea of both elves and dwarves spanned over the ten acre, roughly hewn amphitheater which the dwarves had constructed the night prior. Queen Olivia permitted, against her council’s better judgement that King Hronzak’s people clear out a section of the forest to create a theater to honor Gavner and Black Shadow. Although the amphitheater spanned over ten acres, sound from the stage at the bottom still carried to the assembly; a thick canvas canopy, which let in the cool transpiration of the trees but not the harmful rays of the sun, hung in segments above the crowd. Gavner always found amazement in the dwarves’ ingenuity. About five hundred dwarves had done overnight what ten thousand men found impossible to achieve in one month.
“Your journey has been perilous, and both of you even went beyond your diplomatic duty, as you fought against the insurgency after reforging the alliance between Queen Olivia’s and my Kingdom. Not only did you deliver news of and negotiate the alliance, but you returned to my kingdom and helped take back Al Kitar,†King Hronzak exclaimed.
“Such display of courage, loyalty, and duty have not been seen amongst our allies since the donning of the Common Era,†Olivia announced in front of the crowd. “For this, General, we would like to extend our hand in friendship to Clan Annoterish for as long as the moon shall rise, and the sun shall set. May you be our allies in the night, and may we be your wisdom in the day.â€
“And may you be our strength in the shadows, and may we be your power from the mountains. Let the dawning of a new age of might set upon the two kingdoms and the clan together, that we should defend each others’ weaknesses, and augment each others’ strengths that the world may never overtake us.†King Hronzak said.
“And for you, Black Shadow,†Queen Olivia said addressing the Archer. “You have done us a great service, acting first out of companionship for your friend, but continuing on with him out of loyalty for the alliance. For this, we would like to bestow you the gift of our domain. Use it well. May it bring you luck, and may you find fortune to come.†The queen handed Black Shadow a small spherical object, wrapped in white cloth.
“For incurring great sacrifice, and lending us your great strength in our time of need. For that, we are grateful and hope to return the favor. The royal tailors have fashioned you a new mask, woven from the silk of the fierce burrow-worms which live under Al Kitar. They give strength to the mountain, and establish the King’s right to rule. They guard their space under the mountain, and burrow under the skin of the feint hearted who tread there. May this mask increase the threshold of feats of strength possible to you by threefold.†King Hronzak said.
“Both of you will always have a place amongst our Kingdoms,†Queen Olivia stated. “May the world never forget your courage, and may the world never forget your courage. Let us all come together now, and join in celebration of the reforging of the alliance!â€
