To Fionna Grace Arens Helston Governor of Rhy?Din



from: Ander ConColor, AmTamir (Prince) of the High Pride (Royal Family) ConColor of NuTerra



Madame Governor, Though I was born on NuTerra I now call RhyDin home and as such I would consider it my honor to offer my assistance in its present time of need against the one called Raven and his forces.

That assistance being in the form of myself and my Tamir companion along with my personal guard which is made up of 20 AmTamir and Tamir pairs, 20 Dracian, Dragon Knights and their Stead Dragons, and 10 Crystain energy warriors, that can be lead either as a separate fighting unit or under the direction of the watch.

Included in the assistance an assortment of NuTerrain energy weapons and training in their use.

To: Ander ConColor AmTamir of the High Pride ConColor

From: Ebon Ilnaren Councillor of Rhy'din

I apologize for the lateness of this missive. Governor al Amat advised me of your offer to assist the city's Watch against Raven and his forces the day after receiving your letter. The fault for any delay is mine.

At the earliest opportunity, I would like to meet with you to discuss how your guard might best be utilized in the event of further actions from Raven. If you are agreeable, perhaps we might arrange for an opportunity to see your men in action, even if only in a mock battle.

I await your reply.

With respect, Ebon Ilnaren

With the following message inside



Madame Governor, and members of the Council

I am sending you this message so that you will know more about my guard and their skills while you are contemplating my offer of their use against raven, I hope that you will find it helpful.

Dragon Knights and their Stead Dragons (at least if not more than human level intelligent warm blooded reptile slender but muscular, nose tip to base of tail approximately fifty foot long with another twenty feet of tail with a wing span of about seventy five), act in a same sex team the two share a strong mental bond, being able to know the others thought and emotion, and if needed each can see through the others eyes To try to read eithers mind is through the dragon to receive more mental energy than most can handle with temporary or permanent insanity being the result.

The bond pair usually flies high above their target then drops from the sky in a streamline dive the dragon extending its front talon to grab the target. The Dragon Knight weapon of choice is an 8foot energy quarter staffs that can shift to a 20 foot lance, these can either be used as physical weapons or can release burst of raw energy, they are also well versed in the use of long bow, sword, and throwing disc, can but rarely uses telekinesis as weapon with it they can rip muscles and tendons and brake or shatter bones.

Steed dragons can use mental energy both to shield them and their bond partner from physical and energy attack; they also can emit both raw and refined (light, sound, and emotional) energy. Have 24inch talons on all four legs and a mouth full of 12 inch teeth.

================================================== =======

AmTamir and Tamir pairs, work in same sex teams one AmTamir and one Tamir (an adult human level intelligent feline, about as large in size a large tiger with a slightly more slender but more muscular build, Tamir are telepathic among themselves and with AmTamir on both an mental and emotional level and animal telepaths on a mental level. To try to read eithers mind is to receive a merge of human and feline mental energy that cannot be separated . Both members of the pair can move silently on the ground as well as through trees and high building. AmTamir can move just as easily in light or dark our eyesight is as good as most cat, as are our other senses. Tamir are telepathic among themselves and with AmTamir on both an mental and emotional level and animal telepaths on a mental level. To try to read eithers mind is to receive a merge of human and feline that cannot be separated.

The AmTamir weapon of choice is the wristbow it is basically a type of crossbow worn like an armband it fires crystal arrows that become pure energy in flight returning to matter on hitting their target, also hand gloves with 6in retractable crystal claws, we are also well versed in the use of long bow, sword, and dagger. Tamir have 6inch retractable claws and 12inch incisors.

================================================== =======

Crystain have live in underground caverns lined with energy crystals and over the generation their bio and mental energy and the energy of the crystals shifted and merged so now the people can use the energy from any crystal or energy source.

The Crystain Energy Warrior's weapon is energy and how they mentally manipulate it. It can be used as a mental weapon (blocking a mental attack or sending energy into another's mind in the form of pain, blinding light, or deafening noise), an energy weapon (raw energy, heat, or sound wave) and they can change energy into matter (if they want a weapon all they have to do is think about it and it is in their hand or ready for their use it will be made of energy condensed so tight it will be like solid matter. If someone tried to read their mind without permission at best they would get white light and white noise at worst a blast of raw mental energy. Also crystain warriors are living portals (both long and short range) for themselves and others

================================================== =======

The NuTerrain weapons are 20 pairs of AmTamir wrist bows (bio energy linked, to their owner) 20 pairs AmTamir retractable claw gloves 20 Dracian energy staffs (bio energy linked, to their owner) 20 sets of Dracian throwing disc seven per set 20 pairs Crystain portal crystals (bio energy linked, to their owner) a set of crystals that when activated will set up a portal between their locations And any training needed in their use.

100 healing crystals that can cure minor injuries and temporarily (4 hours) negate pain from major ones

100 containers (one foot by 4inches) of dragon honey can be used to temporarily (8 hours) relieve physical and mental fatigue and increase energy and stamina

After reading the councilor message Ander sent the following reply one copy to the town hall under Councilor Ilnaren name and another to his residence. Both scrolls sealed with the ConColor insignia and tied with a ember and emerald cord

To: Ebon Ilnaren Councilor of Rhy'din

from: Ander ConColor AmTamir of the High Pride ConColor

There is no need to apologize, as a business man I completely understand and have had to deal with misdirected paperwork myself. Preexisting obligations also fill my daytime hours, a meeting at 9pm Thur. night would work well for me and I agree Teas?n Tomes would be more suited for conversation, as well as private.

In your service, Ander ConColor

A scroll was hand delivered to the governor office

From Ander ConColor To Madame Governor, and members of the Council Both the Tamir felines and Steed Dragons are getting uneasy and say that they feel something is starting to happening now or is about to happen soon, and their instincts are rarely wrong The AmTamir patrols while hidden are hearing local criminals on all levels discussing rumors of another group dressed in black head to toe patrolling the city and being roughed up, by members of this patrol, for any information they have about a man, who may be in the area, who or what he is, is still unknown, the only description of him is that he is short with black hair with silver in it, blue eyes and a somewhat weathered face. His left hand is wrapped weather to hide it or protect it is unknown. Also he has control over the movement of shadows.

I'm not sure if it's related but patrols in the areas outside of town have heard that children have begun to go missing, mostly from farms

"...just kinda....floatin' there, if y' see what I mean," the Sergeant shifted uneasily, waiting for her to tell him what to do with the floating ovals. Most of the guard was uneasy with the technology; the idea of standing on one of the 'big glass dinnerplates,' as one had dubbed them, had them squirming.

"See if you can get them back in the bedammned wagon," she said, "And cart them over to Batten's. Have him check them out and tell me what he thinks we should do with them."

"Yes'm," the sergeant's leather armor creaked as he made ready to go and carry out the instructions.

"Sergeant?" she turned from her window to face him.

"Aye?"

"Put a bow on the crate."

"A bow.....ma'am?" he looked perplexed.

Her mouth twitched. "Mm. A big red one."
