The old War Wizard looked over the list with his one good eye. He quickly scanned the names and descriptions written across the page, checked for the seal of Ganrahast at the close of the text, and summoned for a captain among the Purple Dragon Knights. The solider hastily made his way into the wizard's chamber and snapped to attention, his armor making a clanging sound as he stood upright and silently awaited his orders."This is a list from the Royal Magician of four notable personalities that are in and around the realm. I require them transported to the palace dungeon here in Suzail within the next tenday. I do not care what means it takes to get them here, but I do demand they be alive. For the sake of the Crown, your discretion is crucial."
The senior War Wizard handed the knight the parchment and allowed him to skim over it. A look of question momentarily flashed on the soldier's face, but he quickly regained his composure. "It will be done, my lord."
"Well met, Captain." was the wizard's reply as he bowed in appreciation. The knight made his exit as ceremoniously as always, leaving no question as to the efficiency with which his new task was about to be carried out.
