In the Throne Room...
"I am afraid I cannot currently open hand of the recently acquired lands in Ravenhorst and surroundings, but if you wish for a true trial of your abilities, I believe the Archon might be willing to sell us some land in the new continent. I will handle all acquisition and defense expenses, but the land's management and development will be your responsability"

Meanwhile, at the Palace's gates...
The military truck grinds to a halt before the colossal construction's entrance, of the whole city, the palace, at least, seems to have survived the passage of time mostly unchanged. Malcador leads you inside, gesturing at the hulking power-armored guards at the entrance for passage. After a few minutes of walking through the building, you are made wait in a finely decorated hall, ending in a set of ornate double doors.
The doors open without a hitch as Malcador passes through. Shortly after a guard similar to the ones you met at the entrance, but with a heralded armor, a sign of rank, comes over and speaks with a deep voice, probably from having a vocal modulator built in his armor: "The Patriarch is currently in a meeting, but will meet you shortly, Your Highness". He bows down briefly, before turning back and leaving for the throne room.
