We just arrived with Priest Fullbright.

I see. It is good that we finally have a representative of Ion here.

Why's that?

I was worried with the possibility of war looming on the horizon, Ion had forgotten about the refugees.

Ya want us out of your hair, huh?

No, not at all! I am simply saying there is not enough space here to house everyone.

This safe bunker was designed for a quarter of the capacity it's currently at now. There simply isn't enough space for everyone. Especially not the sick and wounded.

I'm disgusted by what Cryostoria is doing. We both are.

We... don't exactly see eye to eye with Ion most of the time. Lunism teaches that our magic is some kind of 'dark', evil thing, and that's not exactly good for building diplomacy.

It is difficult to have much of a relationship with del who believe you're using the power of their dead god.

But our mutual distrust of Cryostoria at least has them talking to us, which is something.

I would like to hope eventually on Alastere all Del could live as they want to, but there are many that consider me too much of an idealist.

Since our father's passing, however, my brother and I have taken great steps to improve our country's image in the eyes of others. That's why we lowered the powers of the nobility and implemented the parliament.

Honestly, we are glad to help provide this safe haven for your tribe, at least for a while.

What Cryostoria is doing is horrible.

Does that mean you're going to help Ion with the war?

That is not either of our decisions to make.

The Royalty of North Dryar don't have the ability to declare war any longer. We can broker peace, but we can't actively lead into war.

We can make the case to parliament, we can offer aid to Ion's side, but we can't actually send any troops to war.

But that's why we're doing this! It's something we can do without the parliament even knowing. Like I said, helping out where we can.

I'm sure if Cryostoria knew you all were here he'd likely invade, so it's important we keep your sanctuary a secret.

Food, water, shelter, and medicine is the upper limits of what Amalon and I can provide, but we provide it gladly.

...We're here..

Yes, this is Doctor Marcela's quarters. We should probably knock.
