You wake in a prison cells, more fortified than the last and 3 guards are on watch. You see the Lizardfolk, Commander Sedgad of the Ruststille Scouts in heated discussion with what looks to be another Commander, a half orc woman, Adagon. Sentenced to 70 years of hard labour and 1,000gp to each next of kin of victims, totalling 7,000gp

Mention Ashlem War
Adagon first tries to silence Zyllis but then the words sink in, “What did you say?”
She turns to Sedgad who has an equally confused face, “This is bigger than both of us, I'll try contacting Duke Rollo”
A few hours pass before you're lead to a small court area, as you are forced to take a seat and shackled to it.

If no mention
Imprisonment goes ahead, end of story for now.

A couple minutes pass before Duke Miguel Rollo, Miguel's Special Division, and Sarren enter.
“Everyone out!” he then points to a priest leaving “You stay” Now it's just Zyllis, the Duke, his companions and a confused priest. Sarren looks concerned.
“You look familiar, have we met before? No matter, you've thrown a wrench in my plans but also provided me new options.”
He turns to the priest “Do you know something that will force the truth?”
“Yes sir” the priest then makes a large gesture as a faint purple surrounds everyone as she cats zone of truth, Charisma save 14 priest will notify success or failure
“Why have you only come forward now? What proof do you have?”

Blinding Spear
Sarren: “Is what he says true Sarren?” Sarren will look into Zyllis' eyes and return a nod of confirmation to the Duke

“Wait here and watch him, I need to talk to some people. Sarren with me.”
A few more hours pass, heading into early night. The Duke returns without Sarren.
“Congratulations Zyllis, you get to meet the King. Before you do though is there anything else you want to say? or anyone else from Blinding Spear that can help confirm these reports? The more we have the better for you and the country.”

If no further info go to Wed. If additional contacts or info go to Thu

As Sarren teleports you and the group you appear in a room with large runes carved into the marble floor, you're lead through a series of hallways, magnificent in design, with chandliers hanging over head every 25ft or so. eventually opening up into a large ballroom, as you enter you feel the same impression within your mind of the zone of truth, DC18 Cha Save. A King and Queen sit raised a few steps above the rest of the room. The King dressed with deep blues with white highlights, he looks tired but intrigued, most likely the most interesting thing that has happened in the last few years to him. The Queen in similar attire is talking to a Prince that looks almost like the King but clealy younger, an empty chair sits next to the King, presumingly for Prince Oddo Rand.

You're moved to the center of the room and as the minutes pass the idle chit chat continues until Sarren either Lucky or Jin are brought off to the side, near you. A noble approaches the King and whispers in his ear, as the King sits up straight the room goes quiet, puts on a dark tinted monocle, scans the room and removes it.

A voice echoes out from the side “King Solomon Walterus the Righteous of the Reton Empire will now hear the case of Zyllis and their claim to causation of the demon invasion during the Ashlem War.”
The King stands and is about to speak when Prince Oddo enters the room from a door behind the thrones, taking his place, the King then returns and speaks looking directly at you “State your claim Zyllis”

After the statement
“Thank you for your claim, very concerning. And who have you brought to back up your claim?”

“Sarren, please provide your testimony” Sarren then takes a step forward and produces a letter, a noble quickly comes up to collect and delivers to the King. Solomon then breaks the seal and reads over the letter. “Thank you Sarren, no further information is needed.”

“Lucky, please provide your testimony”
Lucky steps forward “Zyllis was my commander while I was in Blinding Spear during the Ashlem War and can confirm his statements are accurate and truthful.”
“Thank you Lucky, no further information is needed.”

“Jin, please provide your testimony”
Jin steps forward “Zyllis was my commander while I was in Blinding Spear during the Ashlem War and can confirm his statements are accurate and truthful.”
“Thank you Jin, no further information is needed.”

King Solomon turns to speak to Oddo Rand and says something to him with a stern face and voice and the Prince nods. DC 13 Perception
“Not another soldier steps foor anywhere until we get this sorted or you'll be joining where ever Zyllis goes, understood?”
“Thank you Zyllis, Sarren, and Lucky/Jin for your statements. After hearing them I believe we need to escalate this to the Royal Conglomerate. At this stage you will not be required to attend but until this is resolved all of you will be kept here.” he turns to the noble and nods.

“King Solomon Walterus the Righteous of the Reton Empire has spoken, the meeting is now closed.” You, Sarren, and Lucky/Jin are escorted out of the room and down into another room together, while not a prison cell you are still magically shackled and many guards including Miguel's division surround and keep guard.

The Outlawing for all except Tieflings will be reverted, still takes months for news to spread and a lot of people still hold their views and biases on the outlawed. Reton Empire refocuses on stopping the rebellion and “extradition” of Tieflings.

“Thank you all for attending, we are here to overview Zyllis' claim of ownership of the demonic invasion of the Ashlem Rise in 12270. Zyllis please step forth and present your claim.”

“The Royal Conglomerate will now ammended the outlawing of races within Mor-Thir. Dragonborn, Dailias, Changelings, and Aasamair have been removed from the outlawing. The ammended list of outlawed contains Tieflings, as they aided The Nine Hells during the Ashlem War. This ammendedment is to be put into immediate effect.”

“All members of Blinding Spear past, present, and future are hereby exiled from Mor-Thir. Individuals have one week to leave the continent starting at the end of the decree, if an individual is found on the continent or it's surrounding waters after the grace period they will be sentenced to death, any unlawful conduct will forfit the individuals remaining grace period and will be sentenced to death.”

#1 Zyllis: On trial

#2 Lucky: In Carfell Rise, if a call is put out in the area she'll show
(Unknown, last thing I herd was she went to live and work near the royal city of Reton. I haven't seen or spoken to her in many years.)

#4 Sarren: Hates the situation but will go along, including testifying against Zyllis.
(Working with Duke Miguel to get close and cause disruption)

#6 Red:
(Red Stayed behind at blinding spear's base. It seems like he wanntef to research and compile evidence. I have only spoken to him once after we dispanded.)

#7 Jin:
(Jin told me she was heading to the south of Breton to do her best and help people. That was some years ago.)

#8 Eryn:
(I don't know where she is and I highly doubt she will want to see any of us ever again, especially me.)

#11 Alister: If Oxtrad gets involved Alister will be brought in, in simple shackles
(Last I herd of Alister he was in prison. Not for anything drastic it sounds. More expolsive accidents. I am not sure exactly where he is but it sounds like he is in Oxtrad somewhere.)
