Anton with Velthara. 
===14th May, 1513===
The brothers arrive at the Throne room. In their absence, Scoria went on a rampage. Cawksport and Pernisis have been burned to the ground by Scoria and her spellcasters. Darsis, Stoneport, Bon' May and Kurshwikk have all been badly damaged. Krublin and Kronwikk are starving because Whalers Bay is occupied by Scoria's enforcers. Elven Ambassador has withdrawn Sylvas support for the time being for reasons he wasn't willing to express. 
Shine has visited Drekiss, as well as the chromatic dragons she had aligned herself with temporarily, in search of the Dragonbane Weapons. The chromatic dragons have joined with Scoria. The dragons occupied Renkore, and set up a trap for the brothers. Shine demands the Dragonbane Weapons, in exchange, she will serve them and help defeat Scoria. The Queen suspects Shine is not in league with other dragons that are currently occupying Renkore. 
The Queen shows them the map of Renkore, the blue dragon surrounded by a ballista. The red dragon is in the square, surrounded by coal and cages full of civilians, and is surrounded by anti-teleportation wards. The white dragon hovers around the city, and 2 green dragons' whereabouts are unknown.
The good news: 2 delegations have arrived. The "king" in Redport has brought a ship to Bon'Theris, a gift to dragonslayers: 10 fine horses, 10 suits of chainmail, 3 matches snow-leopard cloaks, 3 matched panther cloaks and a box of exotic spices worth 5k gold. The second delegation is an offer from GNoME to supply their castle with 20 gnomish workmen and their families. Tyrael declines the offer and sets up a private family dinner with The Queen. 
Prince of Kurshwikk explains the attacks in more detail. The princess of Suulwikk gives them a rundown of Drekissian military capabilities. Drekis is down 11800 soldiers and knights, 13200 currently active. Mistrya has about 2500 active and 2500 losses. If there was no Scoria in the way, they would easily overrun them. 
Imrik goes with to her tower, and Imrik brings up how Glacia works to her, and the issues that come of it. brings up how this island sounds like the island from the south that was quite alike (Which we know from previous knowledge that it could have been moved by the gods in order to punish the people there). states that Imrik has now surpassed her, and the expectations that everyone had for her. Imrik asks for protection scrolls to fight the dragons and Sombar states that they have none on hand, but they could make some more soon. Imrik fails to learn , , learns .
Anton goes to speak with the cleric of Martha in the capital, in gold armor and the bat cloak, he walks in and gives the cleric the holy shield of Martha and shows the head cleric about the Death Knight (Paladin Athena's) death through . The Head Cleric says what Athena must have done horrible to be turned into a Death Knight and Anton explains the love letter that Athena had sent. Anton will recount things from the Book of Exalted Deeds which lost him exp, to her. She talks about how Tyrael has connections to the underworld, and how his loyalty may not be with the crown fully and Anton gets angry and leaves. She sends an apology letter, Anton rips it up, and does not care.
Tyrael talks to the elven ambassador, and they speak on, how the elves have a direct line to Scorias Lair and that if she has left the Peak why they hadn't made advances into her lair, The ambassador states that they had heard that she left her lair, but she was just using illusions and when the elves entered her lair they were met with fires and did not make it back, he also states how elven numbers are not as high as they used to be, but does not give numbers, and states that they had to defend Theydin Lod and Yetel, but they cannot be everywhere at once. The ambassador also states that if the brothers want elves to help them in battle with Scoria they will need to convince everyone separately, because there is no real crown in Elven lands, every person has their own will, and is voluntary, he also asks if it is true Anton wears Gold dragon armor and Tyrael states that "I wish that was the most troubling thing my brother has worn, we have been through a lot"
=== Dinner With The Queen (Scroll down for TLDR) ===
Party comes together, and has dinner with The Queen, Anton comes in full regalia, Imrik wears his robes, and Tyrael wears normal Silken clothing, on the way to the castle, Tyraels guards say that they will be guarding him, because of the rumors of spies around and how there have been making attempts on their lives. The Queen has a taste tester test all the food before she eats it, the table seems much too long for this situation. 
Tyrael states "I didn't wish to demean you or bring any doubt to our military plans, in front of royalty, but I must ask what has happened in our absence it seems unfathomable that Scoria has made so much progress in our absence, surely we are not the only military that can put a stop to her?"
The Queen then states "No, you are not, Outlast has managed to do very well, Bon' Theris itself has held off Scoria impressively, the spell casters there, the clerics and alike with the reinforcements of missile weapons, and Ballista's did keep her at bay. Some of the woods and outlying villages were burned and destroyed, but nothing too severe. The other situations have been terrible, Scoria appears out of nowhere overhead without warning and opens volleys of dragon's breath, and even allowed people to ride on her carrying Wands of Fireball, and it took only a few 20-30mins before Cawksport was destroyed."
Tyrael: "What kept her from making so much progress in the past? Before we were armed well" Imrik: "She was scared of us"
Tyrael: "No, surely not, not before we... Do you think 6 months ago we could... I am not sure we could kill Scoria today, it is highly questionable, and the situation would have to be perfectly planned out, she could appear over any town and raise it even now."
Queen: "We have spent much time hypothesizing over this, my leading theory is that Scoria is an ancient beast, she has ruled over Mistrya for some time, and has contented herself to their tax dollars, and gold, to harass the elves for fun, and go off from time to time and do something off this island. Before this war she was not interested in conquering or burning Drekis, when the war began, she was not involved until our people pushed to deeper lands of Mistrya, only then did she attack. My theory is that she does not care about the war, until as Shine has stated, when the Dragon slaying weapons came into play, and they have drawn her ire and brought about her wrath. She fears them."
Tyrael: "How is Mistrya doing, we disabled mines, and freed prisoners, they have been undergoing sabotage and attacks, are they marching as if nothing has happened? What are they doing?"
Queen: "No they are staying beyond the river Vodan, their numbers are few. Less than a fifth of ours. The people of Mistrya, while suffering, have made some progress and have aligned with the Mahtavans and have conquered Blue cliff for grain." and she wishes to speak on that later, and that they could destroy it.
Tyrael: "What is the general feeling around the kingdom now that we have lost so much so quickly? Are people fighting as they have been? Are the people maintaining loyalty? Do people feel like we are winning?"
Queen: "I am not entirely sure... I think it varies, in the capital, it is very high hopes, the famed McGary brothers have their weapons, and are very strong, all bodes well here until refugees have come in things have now taken a more serious tone, in the burned cities i doubt it is well, Moral is not a monolith."
Tyrael looks left and right at his brothers to see if they have anything to say.
Anton: "It is time we have the conversation"
Tyrael: "I think that we need to have a conversation regarding the ongoing matters of the war, the future of the kingdom, and the future of both of our families. Would you agree to a conversation under a Zone of Truth?"
Queen: "It bothers me that you wish to speak under spells, do you not trust me? Is there something I should be concerned about? Have we not been frank and honest with each other from the start?"
Tyrael: "I believe that we have been honest with each other, as much as we can which is why a zone of truth would not be any impedance to us having a honest conversation."
Imrik: "If I may interrupt, I think it is more so that you can trust Tyrael"
Tyrael: "We have seen a great number of amazingly unfathomable things in the lands we have traveled, some of these things perhaps are premonitions of the future, I will be honest there are things I am worried about going forward, and I am sure there are things you are worried about going forward, perhaps speaking under the zone of truth will ensure that both of us are speaking as honestly as we can."
Queen: "Trust between us aside, there is something to be said for the symbolic nature, I am the Queen here, these are the lands I rule. Allowing my subordinates to question my honesty, does not paint me in the best light. I don't know if I can follow such a request. If it is a matter of trusting you the I trust you implicitly, I believe what you say. Would you imagine the rumors around that Tyrael McGary would demand that The Queen speak to him in the confines of a zone of truth spell?"
Tyrael: "No I would not, No one at this table would spread such rumors, it would bring harm to both of us, to you allowing yourself to be subjected to it and me for forcing such a thing."
Queen: "As much as I wish for rumors not escaping walls they always do, as the truth always finds its way out." Imrik: "Tyrael can still say what has to be said."
Tyrael: Shakes head "Absolutely not, I think we need full faith and trust of magics to make us both as forthcoming as possible." 
Tyrael shows the queen all the gear on a paper that they got from Glacia, by sliding it to the queen across the table. She reads it over seems impressed but keeps a level head.
Tyrael: "I think that the 3 of us might have located a stash of these items before you, and it would be easy for us to procure, obviously looking over this it is more magical wealth here than perhaps that is on the entire area of Drekis. I am hesitant to see further for this because none of us seem to know what a post-Scoria world will look like. Or what our positions in that world might be. That is why I wish t have a very honest chat with you, about everything. Even if Scoria wins."
Queen: "We need not worry about if Scoria wins we will not see that world."
Tyrael: "Perhaps, who knows what Scoria wants, winnings might just be burning cities, and hiding in her cave forever. Do you think this would have a formidable impact on our ability to defend, if not perhaps we can secure it for our household further on?"
Queen: "As my advisors tell me Scoria is strongly resistant to magic, under normal circumstances I would say wands lighting or fire would easily turn tides of battle, we have seen that when Scoria has these at her disposal they make easy work of an entire city."
Tyrael: "There are still others to fight if not Scoria then people."
Queen: "Yes these would easily turn the battle easily. I admit that this concentration of power is somewhat troubling if they fall into the hands of the enemy then they could widely decimate our forces, Wherever these are they should not be in the wrong hands."
Tyrael: "We agree" Queen taps where Ring of Telekinesis "You have 6 of these?" Tyrael: "I believe so"
Queen: "I would personally be interested in one of those, and this rod of splendor, what does it do?"
Imrik: "It is quite a fascinating piece the first part is that if converts any who holds it to being 18 charisma and influence actions of others useful for a ruler and second make a large pavilion for feasting a small contingent of men."
Tyrael points to the armor of command and states that it is also useful for leading troops to battle.
Queen: "Does the armor of command also confer a heightened sense of leadership?" Tyrael: "Of course"
Queen: "Those 2 things I would worry about ending up in the hands of a usurper who would try to seize power with a cult of people. I do not mean to offend, but those I would prefer you not to wear or use, they may blur the line between command structures."
Tyrael: "Are you not worried that that line is already being blurred, for us to leave and the kingdom to be ravaged in our absence?"
Queen: "My dear nephews you are our greatest asset and strongest weapon at this point, and yet I don't think there has been too much in the way of confusion about who is in charge. Your mother, of her own volition, stepped down to marry your father, the three of you have not had eyes for the throne, as I understand it. And if any of you did, Scoria would quickly become a secondary problem, war between us would not turn out well, I do not know how the kingdom would recover from that. Even if one side was to prevail, split loyalties lie deep, and the other principalities would not follow one of you. They all vie for the throne, but the children of the dismissed queen would find trouble gathering these principalities to their side, and on the other destroying our greatest weapon would greatly reduce my ability to lead anyone anywhere. I think if the two of us were to (Looking at Tyrael directly in the eyes) come to a disagreement on any matter it would mean the downfall of all of us."
Tyrael nods: "I would like to agree with that, but, we have been built and sold as dragon-slaying weapons, we worry sometimes about what a post Scoria/dragon world would look like with us still in it. You are a clever woman I am sure you have thought as much as anyone else about the possibility, that the 3 of us could make a bigger play after, but I am not saying we would, we obviously have no desire to. I guess it may just be strange magics playing tricks on our minds, I had many visions while in Glacia and I would be lying if I said I wasn't troubled by what I had seen, and what happened, and what could come to pass."
Queen: "Perhaps this is a conversation for a more private chamber" looking around at the servants who are taking dishes, she gets up and states "Come with me why don't we come to a more private place." 
=== Royal Sauna (Scroll down for TLDR) ===
The Queen leads the way and one of the guards seem to give the 3 of them a slow up and down, gaging the 3 of them before falling in line behind her, obviously weary of the situation, when he is looking both Tyrael and Anton look stern in his eyes, Imrik smiles. She leads them to the steam room. She changes into sauna attire
Imrik: "Are your friends going to be joining us in the water?" Queen: "No one will stay inside, I cannot be left alone, they would defy my orders even"
Anton whispers to Tyrael if he wants to bring up the Zone of Truth now that it is only them.
Anton stands guard beside the Guard, Imrik brings a spider just in case. The Queen floats, and it is the first time they have seen her so vulnerable, but she is still wearing rings and a necklace, earrings, and jewelry. It is clear that her guard is down.
Queen: "Speak" 
Tyrael: "If your idea was to seduce me then if you will have me know this is an amulet of charm resistance (referencing his amulet of health) then it won't work"
Queen: "(Laughs) No, not my nephew I think not, that part of my life is over, I obviously still have my concubines, but I look for more young flesh"
Tyrael: "I must ask, now that we are more private, why the reluctance for spells ensuring we tell the truth? Well, before you answer, see it from my point of view, what would you do in my position, if you were poised as the dragon slayers, and the dragons are gone now there are no dragons to worry about... All they represent is a threat, is it really foolish of me to be worried?"
Queen: "What am I going to do Tyrael? Come up behind you and slit your throat? I don't think, at this point, I could kill you if I wanted too, maybe a trap could be set. Certainly, Scoria will try, maybe there is a long ploy to get you killed, but to what end?"
Tyrael: "I think a year ago we were much younger and underestimated your cleverness. You are the queen and will continue to be the Queen, that is no accident, and sometimes, I worry, we have grown much and you may underestimate our cleverness. Surely you could have us killed, it is not beyond you to have such an end achieved. You could have 20 guards hidden here for all I know, there is not much we could do to stop it."
Queen: "I could have poisoned you I suppose."
Tyrael: "If any wine was poisoned, I am sure Imrik would find it quickly, what of us after Scoria's fall? I am concerned after Scoria's fall, and the safety of my family, I am not sure what Anton will be doing after we have slain Scoria, I and Imrik will be staying of course."
Queen looks up at Anton in all his armor: "Anton I have known you my whole life I have seen your scars, you need not fear judgment, the waters are safe and warm, are you going somewhere, are you leaving us?"
Anton: "Sounds like we are all fine and dandy about the Zone of Truth scroll"
Queen: "Not quite, young cleric... Let us talk... Are you leaving? Tyrael said he is not sure what you are doing after?"
Anton: "I don't plan on leaving my queen, but I do have my duties to Velthara and the church, You must understand that."
Queen: "Have I ever wronged you?" (No) "Have I ever demeaned you or your family?" (No) "Do you have any reason for vengeance on me?" (No) "See I fear the 3 of you not, I do not believe that Anton High Cleric of Velthara would be apart of a coup with at least some reason."
Imrik: "We are all in agreement then"
Queen: "And young McGary here, it is hard to become a more powerful mage if you are busy warding off invaders and threats, I cant imagine Imrik having much stomach for regicide and killing of your own aunt."
Imrik: "Absolutely not, maybe we could turn to another path of discussion and talk about what is to happen with our enemies' lands"
Tyrael: "Well that is a part of what the post-Scoria world will look like, we have the lands of Mistrya, Akuba, Eridon, and Mahtava"
Queen: "Every ruler holds many keys to power the 3 of you are perhaps the strongest military keys, but political keys, not so much, not within Drekis at least. I think the 3 of you are almost free to pick whatever lands you wish, some lands have been promised to people already, but there are lots of territory and places above those that have yet to be filled, it is difficult to make promises so early in wars we usually wait till the end to doll out lands honors, wealth and castles."
Imrik: "In the Interest of holding Mistrya, to put in a ruler within the existing power structure there might be the best way to control and occupy the land for long term conflict"
Queen: "By the gods, would you want that duty? If you would like it one of you may have it, I would be glad to hand over Mistrya to such a loyal and worthy person/group it seems like the least desirable of any position."
Imrik: "Perhaps, but it would ensure long-term prosperity for whoever holds the land."
Tyrael: "Mistrya also represents an opportunity as well, if we are running farmlands of the Riverlands, and limitless finances to rebuild we could get Mistrya back on track."
Queen: "It would be a long, ugly task, but someone has to do it and if that is what the 3 of you are asking for I would hand it to you with a smile on my face, and my personal thanks, having someone to control Mistrya after is a dangerous, and difficult job, and I have not found someone suited for it."
Imrik: "If Tyrael is to be king what does that make you?" Queen: "Well I guess Empress"
Anton: "What may even further the connection is a joining of our houses, your youngest Famyea taking the McGary name."
Queen: "I have a slightly older daughter, Celeste, might not she be more, well I know she is more homely, either way, I have no qualms with that, you hold my daughter hostage."
Tyrael: "Woah cant you say that nicer, like bethrowed" Queen: "I thought we were speaking honestly here"
Imrik: "Tyrael could also marry into the old Mistryan family" Queen: "Mistrya is ruled by the new royal family, the old one is dead."
Tyrael: "How much legitimacy would dealing with the old royal family hold? We watched a Time Pool showing how Scoria just walked up and said I am in control now"
Imrik: "I doubt every noble of Mistrya will be killed"
Tyrael: "I doubt they would look to a family that turned to Scoria anymore than the other family coming in."
Anton: "We should talk about Famyea more than these convoluted ideas."
Queen: "That would mean my grandson/daughter will rule after you, you would have my youngest, all to your own, I think that would be very nice way to keep the peace, it would ensure that neither of us tries to take the other, not that I expect that, but if you are worried about, there is the distrust that emanates from you Anton"
Anton: "After Scoria, you will not have to worry about it." Queen: "Good"
Imrik: "What is important to understand that we live our lives day to day so much that we having been in such deadly and dangerous situations, it does fuel paranoia, in ones heart."
Queen: "Understandable, then take my daughter and take the lands and govern them yourself as long as you are keen on me being Empress, we could unite all of Arcadia under one rule and turn this place to the empire that it was before the gods saw fit to strike the world and split it into parts."
Anton: "All of Arcadia even the Eastern half?" Imrik: "In Time perhaps"
Queen: "At this moment there is not much there, it is ruined land, I don't know if it... it could be claimed, but it is a useless claim until there are people who live there it will be many generations to settle those areas, but yes. We may have to make exeptions for Wake county or maybe not, a second war so quickly is not in our interests, but with great dragon slayers on our hands. Well, perhaps that war is more of conquest and unjustified, I am not ready to make plans like that so quick. As for the Akuban dogs, we almost had peace with them, we have a promise to marry the families, but everything there is so..."
Imrik: "If we can deal with the dragon, perhaps we can choose the most favorable to us and make it happen ourselves. Remember I spoke to you about our friends the Wayfarers, they wish to discuss the fate of Eridon once it is over, I am not sure if you have spoken to them, but I am just reminding you."
Queen: "Are they trustworthy?" Tyrael: "Under a zone of truth they are" Imrik: "One of them died for us in Glacia"
Queen: "Which one?" Imrik: "Cleric Teressa, Disintegrated by a beholder, her fate was foretold to us in visions, from the moment we arrived" Tyrael: "Among other things that were foretold"
Queen: "You have made many references to that, what visions have you seen"
Tyrael: "Conversations between you and highers up about the removal of us post Scoria"
Queen: "Ahh, Well I can tell you that no such conversation has ever happened, and I have no intention of holding such conversations."
Anton Tyrael make Charisma checks with 22's and she seems to be telling the truth. Imrik looks at Tyrael as if to say they got what they wished for. Anton looks as if to say are they fighting.
Queen: "As for your Wayfarers, there are many positions they can have, I am sure there is a position they could hold."
Imrik: "I think what they wished was for when the new Empress of Drekis seeks to take control of her rightful lands that the existing rulers there are not to be abused, and peaceful manners to fall for them."
Queen: "Wonderful, I love giving people what I would have anyways. Especially as form of payment, there are only a few swathes of Dwarves and the Queen of Eridon herself is missing. Their capital is in ruins, but people are there, small potatoes, if you hear about the Queen of Eridon please do tell me , she has vanished and it was not intentional or warned."
Anton: "The Gold Dragon left as soon as it was needed most." Queen: "Speaking of Golden Dragons, Shine is most peculiar"
Tyrael: "Surely you do not believe ye-ol-tales about dragons being good or evil, they all only look out for themselves."
Imrik: "My view of Dragons has dwindled severely in the past years"
Queen: "In my experiences with Dragons, and I have met a few in my time, there once was a silver who lived here, I am sure you remember, silver and gold always keep their words. I spoke with Shine and clarified whether she mean Serve or advisor and she meant Servant. She said in exchange for the weapons she will serve for 5 generations of our family"
Anton: "After a few big tasks Velthara could give me to cast on Shine, we could do anything with her as a servant."
Imrik: "Do you think she would go into battle with us against Scoria?" Queen: "Yes she will help in any way possible."
They discuss the dragons in Relkor: 1 Blue Dragon, Zuure, (Ageclass ~7), 2 Green Dragons (Ageclass ~6), 2 Whites (Ageclass ~6/8), Were 2 Reds (Met with scoria and she killed the larger red smaller is (Ageclass ~6) and is alive.
Queen states about how Shine could be a great help if she was to help train the soldiers hit moving targets flying like Scoria using blunted weapons, your weapons are great for a specific task, but the gold dragon is great for a broad range of things, but if you think the weapons are needed to kill Scoria then it is no question what we should go with.
Imrik/Tyrael/Anton: Speak about how they should go about Killing the Chromatics in Renkore and if they should talk to Shine (Ageclass 7) or even think about the offer, they decide that they will think on it more. 
Queen/Tyrael: to queen "By tomorrow you can have a list of items you wish to have and we will see if we are open to parting with them" to Tyrael "Earlier you stated that they could be found does that mean that they are in your possession?" to Queen "Perhaps if one was to search our house one would find them" "Our minds are still messed with from those lands, but there is more to be found there." to Tyrael "I did not wish to speak this in front of everyone, but there is another item that brought my intention, a Phylactery of Long years, does that have anything to do with a certain Lych?" 
Imrik to Queen: "No, I think that it is just a nod to the long lived" (Talks about other ways to live longer if that is what she wishes after Scoria)
Queen: "Do you still need that zone of truth? or are you comfortable where things stand?" Tyrael: "For now, but we will see in the future, anything else for us?"
Queen: "My eldest nephew, Tyrael, as long as we are being so open it has come to my attention that amongst your members there are those who have been or are still members of thieves guilds... that there have been meetings behind closed doors with underground elements... Is this something I should concern myself with?"
Tyrael: "I can update you with anything you see fit... But I am sure you know where my background and my uncles come from... My uncle was a man of many talents some of them not so noble as others... If there is to be an underground element running in the kingdom we should have it under our thumb, we have penned out deals to ensure they behave as much as possible, but if you worry I can get you into contact."
Queen: "Crime will always exist and I agree that it is best that we keep a close eye on it then attempt to destroy it. I appreciate having a man on the inside so to speak, if you are running Mistrya and I Drekis it will be nice to have someone who is keeping a close eye. I would not want a city under siege have crime lords hoarding food causing famine. Well then, nephews, I wish to stay here longer, and think through what we have discussed."
===TLDR===
The Queen does not wish to speak in a Zone of Truth, but seems truthful when she says she has no plans to get rid of them. She enthusiastically agrees to have Tyrael rule over conquered Mistrya and agrees for her youngest daughter to marry under the McGary name. Shine has promised to be in servitude for 5 generations, but they are unsure if they should trust, or even consider the offer. (Weighing the benefits of having Dragon Slaying Weapons or Shine)
=== Later on that Night ===
Tyrael asks the weapons if they speak to dragons, and the hammer states that every slash they tell them their time is near and that they will die and I will take a part of them to grow stronger and slay more, Tyrael also asks if the dragons can feel them the hammer states that they can feel him, but only at close ranges.
They Speak more on the weapons and Shine, and think more on it. Shine has shown no respect and even caused severe damage to thousands of people who are trapped in Renkore, and they think they are pretty sure they should just kill all the dragons.
Tyrael asks the queen if people think Shine is good or in general more dangerous than it is worth. Imrik recalls the Queen said Shine arrived with metallic dragons, Kal in particular, and that she spoke with people in Wake County. 
The brothers the conversation between Shine and King Jacob Redwing. They see Shine ask the king about who holds the Dragon Slaying Weapons. He wonders why he would give over the information and she states that they (The Weapons) bring doom to Arcadia, and that only more dragons will come after the weapons, and that they are deeply hated by all of her kind, if they remain they will only bring more harm. The king states that he has no issues with dragons and that the McGarys are the ones with the weapons, he also speaks on how the others are a great force and they kill the evil dragons and send off ones that endanger people and that they only wish to kill Scoria and see the scourge of her reign end, the dragon thanks him and leaves a bag.
Tyrael can feel 3 dragons nearby to the east (Kal the Copper, Shine the Gold, Mist), the hammer is not asking them to go murder them all. They speak on how they are going to go and kill the Dragons. He reaches out to the Kralfort and asks what will happen when all dragons are gone from the world, it states then he guesses they will have to go to another plane and attack them where they come from. 
Tyrael thinks about whether they could have all 3 dragons on their side, how Scoria has been meddling with human affairs, and how it could bring about ill will from other of her like.
Anton asks Velthara if it is okay to remove the weapons, she says that the weapons create vengeance where there isn't really any, and it is not true vengeance and it is okay to have them destroyed.
