"Let me do that," Lord Stormon told Master Arkam during their small gathering in the time of recess.
"I'll put forward the issue of those insolent spies in court. As you already know, my words will carry a heavier weight than yours in this situation."
Eugy Stormon continued to speak. "I am the Lord of House Stormon, one of the Three Great Walls of Nortvard. Even the council know what that means. I will not allow my nephew and the others while away in wherever the gods know because of your childish squabbles, Master Arkam."

Lord Eugy Stormon was ready to alter the course of the proceedings having sat back as a spectator since the trial commenced. He stood to his feet and cleared his throat, he could see the shock expressed in Lord Valen's eyes.
"Elders of the council and my fellow lords, there is something I wish to add," he said. The room fell silent to his voice, a testament to his commanding presence and influence among the noble families of Nortvard.
