//No, not necessarily, I am just doing this for a couple of reasons. First, the relationship between Draven and Haraldur I believe needs to be fleshed out a bit. Second, I want to establish the Crimson Capital as setting with a sense of place, as a location in the RP. Thirdly, it is part of my explanation of "Aspyes" and the relationship between Haraldur and Tesla, and the tatoo. Fourthly, in reference to number three, there are some NPCs I want to introduce, some of which may become PCs. Fifthly, to start elaborating what Haraldur, The Rebel of the Aspyes, and the Aspyes are rebelling against. So, I do have some reasons. After all, this is a very good story-telling medium.//
"Ah, good, an underling," said Haraldur, smiling as he saw the party approach.
"I expected him to be out, after all, he has an empire to run," Haraldur said as he smiled sardonically. "However, I advise you not to refer to me or my associates as commoners, as it is innacurate. To be called a commoner implies being common, while we are quite rare.
"I have a request. I request that you release all your prisoners who have this tatoo on their arms," he said, as Tesla rolled up his sleeve, showing the men his tatoo. "My reasons are my own," he said, as Tesla covered the tatoo up again, "but it should be sufficient that I request this. If you do not have the authority to do this, or you would prefer to consult your master, then send a message to Lord Draven sending Lord Haraldur's best regards and that Lord Retan would be proud etc. etc. and that Lord Haraldur requests that his old comrade in arms would grant him an audience in reference to some prisoners Lord Haraldur would like released."
Haraldur bowed, and for an instant, a line of red was seen on the edges of his black clothes, resembling that of a Dark Empire High General, before disappearing again.
