With Arbiter Althair stricken by illness, Judge Bremeti, as second on the Political Council, assumed role as Arbiter.

Bremeti, in a joint move with the Religious Council and Military Councils, arranged for an immediate hearing of Priest Fullbright upon his return.

Bremeti believed The Iahn's actions to be a violation of the natural order that Ion existed under.

If The Iahn would make it a Religious matter, Bremeti would make sure he would still retain oversight on what happened.

Three branches of Ion's Government overseeing the meeting would slow down any ability for the Iahn to come in and seize the procedings from him.

Intercepting Fullbright's party as they arrived would delay the Iahn further. Bremeti needed to know what happened in Cryostoria's tower.

And how it might affect his own plans.

As Sky and K'Sarian arrived in Ion, they were quickly ordered, with no chance to act otherwise, to a hearing of the three councils.

The two were ushered into a private meeting of the three Ionian councils.

And immediately demanded of to speak of everything they knew.
