 Feirn Than'Kar Salan sits quietly in his roughly hewn chair,
absentmindedly watching tiny vibrations play across his untouched burgundy
wine. The glass is filthy, crusted with grime though the wine is is fragrant
enough. Feirn reaches out with his hand, his alabaster robes slipping down
his thin pale arms.

He gently tips the wine glass back, splashing his drink slightly. It
overflows, dribbling wine onto the table. He smiles pleasantly as a hooded
figure in red enters the tavern, and withdraws his hand. He gestures
politely for the newcomer to sit.

"It is not like an elf to be late Quinenthal."

The man chuckles and removes his hood, revealing an old bearded face! "I'm
only half elven old friend, so I hope I am excused. Nobody has called me my
proper name in quite some time, it is simply Master Quinn now." The red
robed man smirks and hails a barmaid, ordering the house ale. 

"I was surprised to receive your message Feirnthuan, you haven't left the
Qualinosti lands in one hundred years. This matter must be of some
importance to bring you so far from the Speaker of the Sun." Feirn nods
solemnly, handing a delicate scroll to Master Quinn.

"We senses the world is begin to churn once more. The old powers stir, many
who slumber have been disturbed. The Speaker has decided it would be wise to
rekindle our forgotten ties. The Speaker has named me a Qualinesti
ambassador to the Conclave."

Master Quinn breaks the scroll's seal and quickly reads the elvish script.
He frowns, not entirely pleased with what he has read. He leans back, gently
massaging his brow. "Old friend, the Conclave will not be pleased with the
arrogance of the elves. My order is proud and powerful, you cannot be expect
to simply be admitted?"

Feirn stares back blankly, blinking once in the silence. "Quienethal, I do
not understand. If it is a matter of my skill, surely you can vouch for my
talent. Have I not abided by the rules of high sorcery?." Master Quinn waves
off his friend, groaning to himself. "No Feirnthuan, you will be expected to
endure the Test. Your talent cannot be denied, but is your will strong
enough?"

Feirn Than'Kar Salan sighs heavily, bringing his hands together in
contemplation. "If that is what must pass, then I have little choice. One
hundred years ago I saw little to learn from wizards and magi. But my
seclusion has dulled my art, and perhaps I was too hasty."

Master Quinn snorts, "The Conclave was less than thrilled when you spurned
their invitation to further your art Feirn. As was I." The half elf rises to
leave, bowing to his friend. "I will notify the order of your arrival, and
perhaps they will answer."

Feirn Than'Kar Salan bowed and returned to his wine watching.
