Revana, Ekhart, Sanglant, Remy and Delrune all talked about what the party learned in the Infinite Library.
They agreed they needed to travel to Tol'Enay to talk to Cidmuir.
Delrune explained her justification for keeping it secret from Cid; she did not know what Auranos's plan for the child was, but thought it would be best kept secret.
They party all spent some time around the University.
Revana attended several lectures, learning more about the human history and politics.
Sanglant spent some time around the quad, having a good time with some students.'
Remy went to the Glassworks to learn how the University makes such high quality glassware.
Ekhart and Delrune spent the evening talking about the future of Voltana.
Delrune told Ekhart that the Duchess of Voltana, Lyre Lefarge, had been relying on her for advice on what to do politically lately, as a representative of the University.
Sometime the next day, Fairwyn and Naverus would declare war one each other and call for the banner support of every Lord in the Empire.
They learned that His Holiness Josephet, the Duke of Ortelai, intends to support whichever country Voltana doesn't.
Even though Ortelai doesn't have a large standing army, they have large stocks of money and supply.
Ekhart suggested that they should support Naverus and the Dowager Empress, as her claim to regent was more legitimate, and her brother seems to just be going for a power grab.
Morning, 5th High Summer, 498 CE
The party awoke in the Study Floor in the Masters Hall.
They discussed the different options of travelling to Cel'Edor.
They could walk; this would take the most time but would be the safest way to travel.
They could charter a ship; this would be more risky as the ships have been moored by the Duchess in anticipation of the war.
They could travel via the Faerealm; this would be the fastest, but most risky. Prolonged stay in the Faerealm may have unintended consequences.
As they talked, a servant brought Delrune the mail.
Knowing now that traveling by land may be more difficult that they had previously thought, Delrune reluctantly told the party about a ship captain she knew that was in Mae Relian.
They fought together in the Quiet War, and all had great disdain for the church, especially Father Elai.
Delrune doesn't talk much with Wysees since he became a Pirate.
Afternoon, 5th High Summer, 498 CE
The party travelled to the Summoning Circle in the University that was hidden away in some long abandoned classroom.
Delrune explained that she had created a Summoning Circle inside her Tiny Travelling Laboratory, so she could always have quick access to the University wherever she went.
Everyone entered the circle, and Delrune teleported them back to Mae Relian.
Delrune bid the party farewell and left to talk to the Duchess of Voltana.
The party, trying to be as subtle as possible, travelled to the Violet Harbour to find Wysees.
After a bit of searching, they found a ship that they identified as the Meraverus, and met Captain Wysees.
They told him he was Delrune's son, but he still wanted payment for taking the party to Cel'Edor.
They agreed to tell him about the Demon infecting a high up member of the church.
