The Coronal gives orders. A cloak and a ring taken from the body of Priestess Lael'min are carefully wrapped in black silk and placed within a finely carved wooden box.
On her next visit to the City, Envoy Imryll is presented with them personally to return them to the Glade with a letter.
"High Priestess Maya Silverlock
Defender Ras has surrendered himself to Us and given us all he took from Priestess Lael'min's body. We return them to you in the hope that they will provide some small measure of comfort. We believe her sword was given to one called Seadin.
More grimly, the Tel'Quessir Ciardha is now within Our lands and on parole. However, as We have discussed with you before now, Our authority does not extend beyond Our City's lands and what happens in the wilds is not under Our control. The Defenders are, but not Tel'quessir who do not claim citizenship of the City of Song. This leaves us in a quandary. We deeply regret the Priestess' death for its own sake and because of the heighted tensions that it has brought, but We in truth have little authority to bring one to trial for a killing, a murder committed outside Our lands on one not of Our people. The Son of Shevarash was but doing what he is commanded by his Lord.
This troubles us. We do not wish to see our allies killed by Tel'quessir, but nor do We wish to overstep Our own authority. We shall pray on the matter and hope that a path becomes clear.
Signed
