The Emperor's chamber is dimly lit by a single candle in the dark of the night. In the shine of the table sits Donari, studying a sheet of paper with great thought. She folds it together and sighs, more out of relief than worry. Up until now, she was not certain whether ascending the throne was the right decision, but hard seating of the throne was feeling ever more comfortable. In her mind, she recalls the events of recent.
House DeFaye - Just this very day, Lord Jocas has signed the treaty to submit, amicably, to Imperial Law. From this day on, the fates of the guilds would be closely entwined. And perhaps he would prove a valuable ally in the days to come.
Two new, very promising recruits had joined the Empire, freshening their ranks. The halls of the Empire once again were full of merry chatter.
Jilerel had finally made it to a full Imperial. He was proving a good Imperial, clever and loyal to the Imperial Cause.
Kaerli, her old friend, had accepted the position of Chancellor, relieving her of the pressure of solely determining the path of the Empire.
The future does not seem too clear to her, but she is feeling confident that the Empire will be up to the task. She blows out the candle, then heads for the comfort of her bed.
