Threats, barbs, and taunts, an impetuous act, a deception, a trap by one, an ambush by the other, and daedra, lots and lots of daedra. Its safe to say that the parley between Queen Arzhela of Evermore and the Imperial Magus-General Septima Tharn went about as well as could be expected.

Queen Arzhela should perhaps have known that Imperials do not offer parley on the back foot, it is always but a tactic to strengthen an advantage. As courageous and resolute as Azhela has proven, the arrival of King Emeric from Wayrest will add some much needed seasoning and acuity to the court of Evermore, especially if they are to survive the incursion of the Seventh Legion.
