A long shot...

This might be a minor detail of confirmation, but when Enzarond had left the field for a time and Balliol was walking about "on his own" he was able to exert a mental control that defied all efforts of mystical or will to resist. I thought I had heard an ability of that ilk attached to Enzarond.

There is more, but it is not for me to say...for now.

Bengarion,

If there is more now is the time to say it. And if not you, then tell me who to look for regarding this.

Please.

This only helps confirm this theory and every shred of evidence is useful here.

Any and all information regarding the actions of Duke Balliol and Chancellor Enzarond Melentres is absolutely important to make known now, Bengarion.
Seth is right, there is no time more pertinent than this, when the Duke's first legion is at our doorstep. To hide any information would be doing your fellow subjects a great disservice. Without all the information we can collect, we cannot face this enemy with absolute certainty. Any information about what happened in the capital and surrounding times should be made known.

If anyone has any detail, no matter how small, in how the Duke or his chancellor acted, fought, or spoke, then do your part in aiding the kingdom by making it known here. Creatures like Val'Ixtal Vai pray on our secrets and lacking communication. Now is far from the time to withhold any detail.

Val'Ixtal Vai and the other council members are unlike any other Zar'Ilmask. With this in mind, nothing can be ruled out as a possibility of his powers.

My knowledge of True Warlocks and their Symbiotes is second hand at best and lacking a great deal. If there's one thing I hate it's trying to put together a puzzle missing most of it's pieces. Is there anywhere I can look to learn more of them?

The short of it is, True Warlocks are demons that make deals with willing mortals and they merge into one. The Mortal gets power, the Parasite gets a body within our plane, to enact their will.

Find a Witch Hunter in the proper and they will be able to fill you in further.

I would prefer this posting was reserved for information specifically about Enzarond, Val'Ixtal Vai, Balliol, or anything pertaining to them and their plans.

**NOT EBONY**

Aw dang. Missed a chance to stab that creepy old guy. Glad y'all spooked him tho.
Well when we was all in Grimwyr, the old guy was always whisperin in the Duke guy's ear. Always near him. When fightin my General in a sparrin match it seemed the Duke was tryin to force my General to kneel before him, we stopped him though by tryin ta stab him. Turned out the old guy was sayin weird stuff during that match that he didn't in the others, like it was him tryin to make him kneel.

Did any of y'all see a female Gaaldronian fightin on the enemy side? I have a few words I'd like ta say ta her an some holes ta add ta her anatomy.
