Region: The Empire of Tamriel

Canulusia

<The Elders meet in Fort Cuptor to discuss recent events>

Chases-Her-Tail: It appears that young Cornelius has escaped and is seeking out Grand Marshall Warhaft with the aim of assisting the Imperials!
Wanders-Many-Lands: Let him run. Like a rat fleeing a ship only to plunge into the ocean, he will soon die! And besides, what use will he be?
Chases-Her-Tail: There are many secret passageways under the fort and the Lake, he may know of one that we do not. Additionally, many of our citizens in the surrounds villages, like Leafrot, are unprotected and may be persuaded by him to join the Imperial cause.
Wanders-Many-Lands: Let the villagers flee to him. The Akaviri will punish them for their treachery!
Nibenay-Born: Let us not be quick to wish death on our people, brother. The war goes well but when it is over we will need an economy and we cannot afford to lose many of our citizens; if any at all!
Wanders-Many-Lands: We'll survive. The Akaviri will provide us with Imperial slaves to replace our lost brethren.
Nibenay-Born: And if the Akaviri are defeated? What then? They have already been defeated in Kemen, what if the Imperials inflict a similar defeat on the larger force?
Wanders-Many-Lands: I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Nibenay-Born: I'm trying to be reasonable here, for Divine's sake! I will not tolerate or support your callous indifference to the lives of our own people!
<Wanders-Many-Lands eyes narrowed and he turned away from the other two councillors before clicking his fingers>
Wanders-Many-Lands: You can tolerate or support whatever you like in the dungeons! Guards arrest this traitor!
<Burly Tsaesci warriors charged into the room, grabbed Nibenay-Born by both arms and dragged him out.>
Chases-Her-Tail: What's happened to you? We're supposed to be a commune and you're imprisoning so many of us because of your ego!
Wanders-Many-Lands: Silence! I will not be smeared by you! <his voice turned sinisterly pleasant> ...we are a commune, though, that we can agree on! And to show our commitment to that founding principle, we will be expanding the Council to five members. This will facilitate great democratisation of the commune.
<He turned to the door of the fort>
Wanders-Many-Lands: Vhysradue, Dances-In-The-Rain, Hides-His-Coins; please enter.
<A female Tsaesci and a female and male Argonian enter the room>
Wanders-Many-Lands: So now we are five! In order to quell any sentiments that I am some sort of autocrat, we will vote on all proposals and only act on proposals which receive a majority verdict. Are we all in agreement?
<His and the hands of the three newcomers raised in order to show their approval, while Chases-Her-Tail only observed.>
Wanders-Many-Lands: Good. Then we are in agreement. Now, should we conscript some of the prisoners and less useful citizens for the use of our Akaviri friends?
<The hands of the newcomers shot up, while Wanders-Many-Lands and Chases-Her-Tail kept their hands down.>
Wanders-Many-Lands: <with a far from believable tone of defeat> Oh dear, well I could not support such a proposal but, as we are a commune, I... I mean 'we'... have no choice but to consent to the motion. Vhysradue, please inform your soldiers to go to down the dungeons and the villages to conscript any able bodied individuals for whatever uses you may have for them. Council dismissed!
