The Government Palace of the city-state of Faentaure is a white building without windows, but with quite a few loopholes for arrows. It's a true fortress, with strong gates, a portcullis, and two soldiers in green standing guard outside. It has four towers, one on each corner, and other than most other buildings there are no plants growing up to it.
Inside, the halls are shiningly clean, and there are always civil servants running around. Besides the offices, there are two large armouries, a few large halls for people to hide in, and there is always a stock of food and drink to last a siege.

The Battlepriest leads Satorius through the halls to the door of a small office. He knocks, and a male voice bids them come in.
"Here you will find Themin Ghuir. Speak to him. Good luck, Mr Trevain."
He bows, and walks away.

Thank you.
*He turns and walks into the office*

Themin Ghuir, a nervous young man, looks up from his desk and twitches when he sees the man stepping in is a stranger.
"Good- good day, my Lord, good day..."
He gets up and bows.

Good day. Please, just call me Satorius. I was asked to speak with you.

"Ah, yes, thank you, yes, I- ah, I am Themin Ghuir, pleased to meet you. You are a stranger, no? Ah, yes, you are requested to fill in this form... Please?"
He hands Satorius a form.

Themin looks at the form and blinks. He blinks again.
"Uh- uh sir- uh please uh- wait here?"
He runs out of the office, form in hand.

Around twenty minutes later a woman steps into the room. Her white hair tightly pinned up, she is wearing a long stately green dress. She moves with a decisive sort of grace and a confident air of authority. She pulls the door shut behind her and sits down in Themin's place before she puts the form, which she was holding, on the table. She studies Satorius with cold grey eyes in a stern face.
"I am Llandira Enge'dwellen, one of the High Kuruni here. You are Satorius- Trevain?"

Mae govannen, Kuruni Enge'dwellen. Yes, I am Satorius Trevain.

"High Kuruni. The appropriate title would be Lady."
She speaks in sing song Sindar.
"That is a Faentaurian name, mind explaining how you get by it?"
She acts very curt and stern.

Sorry, I'm afraid I'm not completely familiar with your customs, particularly regarding the rather unique Kuruni.
*He remains pleasant as he speaks*
By marriage. I had no last name of my own, so I ended up with that one.

She raises an eyebrow in a very pointed manner.
"There is no one alive by that name."

Post by Satorius on Sept 29, 2004 14:31:18 GMT -5
Actually, there are a number of people alive with that particular name. Yet, the one we are speaking of no longer has rights to that name, which is the woman I married, and whose name I intend to clear. As I said, I took the name because I did not have one of my own.
