After some considerable time, a saurian lizard returned, carrying a bundle of parchments and other devices. One, most interestingly, was a crystal device that when peered through showed the map in the image thus revealed. A quick check showed that all of the various items were substantially the same, being maps or detail maps of the various aspects of this "Pyribyr Vestana", although hidden amongst these works was also a long scroll, titled The History of the Arhosan Empire, as told by the Palace Guard Tatchxeta. It was presumably the saurian lord's way of acknowledging their request for detailed information about the history of the world since those of Marleath had last broached the surface. Although given that a cursory inspection showed that it opened with a lurid tale of bedroom conquest, it was perhaps not the most applicable of documents.
Having delivered his documentation, the servant guided them from the room they had been inhabiting and outwards, beyond the gate of the compound, there to hand them a token and say that their friend would be returned at the appropriate moment. Otherwise, they were free to do as they willed.
