The Imperial Herald

Now that we've got a reliable witness we may begin negotiations with the Historians. Take this white flag, otherwise their mercenaries won't let you near their base. You must meet with Vissarion Arhivin, the Historians' leader in Asee-Teph, and relay to him all that we've learned!

It's good that the Historians' representative here is a Xadaganian, and not Zayan de Desirae. I bet that deep in his soul Arhivin remains loyal to the Empire, which plays in our favor.

Now hurry, and make sure to act as politely as possible! The situation is still very delicate and we can't afford to go to war with the Historians.

Unfortunately, Chairman Arhivin isn't here. Maybe I can help you? The camp is in chaos from all that's happened here recently. After the attack in the night, Arhivin instituted martial law amongst the Historians and headed straight for the Temple himself.

Before leaving he gave express orders not to enter into any negotiations, and to let the League and the Empire sort things out amongst themselves. That's all I know. Why, is there any news I should know about that could sway my decision?
