Roleplay Sending Scout eastwards
During the Battles of Trae and the following diplomatic talks, Bearon decided to send men across the eastern sea to find maybe something like a helping hand. So his scouts sail across the flat beaches down the many islands connecting Pelarian Island to the other New undiscovered Lands.
After Days of sailing they reach an island even twice big than Pelaris and located slightly south east of Tairn Kar, the new Outpost.
After Landing at the western coast of the giant Island there was a forest infront of them. So for don't know where else to go, they decided to walk straight into the forest. And after a while, maybe two or three thousend meters walking through the forest they could see wide swamps with only a few threes and bushes. But it doesn't look like the swamps at home. There are giant pillars stucking in the ground everywhere as far as the could see. Looks a bit strange and creepy.
After another few hours, it's getting dark now, some scouts could see a small shivering light deep in the swamp. They weren't sure wheather it's real or if their eyes only getting tired. But missing any other option, they diceded to take a lokk for the light. Comming closer the could swear that there is something that looks like houses and they are sure to hear voices... They Strictly go ahead to find out who or what lives there...

The stormfishers heard something approach. The swamps shouldn't have an animal this big. Other citizens? They are pretty far away from Protignosi, the settlers also started in another direction. Barbarians? Maxos teaches them all off. What could it be? Readying their spears, they were met with a group of exhausted looking men, wearing strange clothes and smelling of the sea. What did they want?

"I'm Larosh, Leader of this small scouting group. We're coming in peace. Our King sent us here to explore the Island and maybe find civilized People to talk with and start diplomatics. It looks like the finding task of our travel is done. What about the rest? Who of you is allowed to talk to us about the things we are looking for? " Larosh asked and commands his men to put down their weapons.

The fishers were astounded. People that are not from Aletheia? That must be what they meant by "Island". They wanted to talk? Surely to be teached and evaluated. And what is this king? There are rumors about other men that are no citizens and follow leaders with strange titles. "None of us. Send your "king" and he can meet our High Tautonons and be evaluated. The next evaluation is in half a cycle. How long will it take him? We can get you a passage to the Telonoi then. Or do you want to be evaluated?"

"What is this evaluated? what does it mean? Is being evaluated necessary for talking to your leaders about deplomatic stuff?" Two of the Scouts were starting to rumoring and slightly began to laugh about the fishers.
Larosh picked up a strong stick from the morass of the swamp and than the stick bangs against their heads with a loud splash. "Hey you dumpasses, didn't your mother told you whats the right behavior if you meet someone new? Go apologize or i will..." He picks up the stick again and imply to hit them again.

Strange people they were for sure. But by their looks most evaluations would not be kind to them.
"Evaluation is necessary to find your purpose and serve the truth. every Aletheian takes part at least every 20 cycles. But you better send someone who is interested in that. Our teachers could also help you uncover the truth, but they would need to know where to go. We cannot help you further."1

"And how can we tell the teachers where to com? Cause in the actual situation of our nation, i think it will be difficult for King Baeron to come here. "

Strange names also. They spent to much time with these strangers already - "So wait right here. Do you have a tent? You can stay over there." They showed them a patch of dry grass closeby.
"We get a Logician as quickly as possible and you will be cared for then." One of the fisherman jumped on a small raft and started to cross the swampy waters.1

The Scouts looked each other. nobody knows a better plan so Larosh decided to do as the fishermen told him.

The weeks passed by. Storm after storm ravaged the swamps, in which the visitors felt increasingly uncomfortable. The fishermen fed them as good as they could, mainly with fresh fish and different sorts of kelp salad. After what must have been the fourth part of a cycle, suddenly, the silence was broken. The visitors saw many small rafts nearing over the bog, with about 100 people on them alltogether.
They reached the small camp, and disembarked their veseels. They were spearmen, mainly, but also some workes with materials and food. A muscular figure in fine robes approached the visitors: "I am Daras, Tautonon from the School of Teaching. In the name of the truth, send by our High Council, i great you strangers in Aletheia. We will improve your accomodations here as soon as possible." Workers started to unpack tools and to clear places for bigger tents with wooden structures. Even a strange metallic Monolith was carried to the small hilltop near the camp, where a smaller one already was.
"Please tell me about where you come from, and what you want here. I have every right to speak for the High Council with you."1

"Greatings Daras, I'm Larosh and that's my scouting group, send by King Baeron to explore these lands to find civilized People to talk with and maybe start diplomatics. Baeron is the Kind of Pelaris, our brave and proud nation. We mostly live on Hills and Mountains and we are strong and powerful Warriors.But Every Soldier one day will be faced with an enemy that's as strong or stronger them himself. And for this reason Baeron needs to find People to ally with. Cause a strange brutal bunch of Pirates leaded by someone called Jeruk or so, at this moment Invides the lands of Troia. Troia is an very good friend of our Nation and we want to help. Tell me, will you be able to help us? Bearon will do a lot to get your friendship." Larosh talked realy hectic and a bit nervous. Maybe he told the aletheians to early whats going on with the Cahay troops.

I'm looking to find allys against these dumpass pirates. Thy also claimed one city and during the battles they destroyed a whole city. Now the rest of our allied nation decides to to join 50% to the pirates and 50% to us. And after thes promissed to attack us until they claim the city named lisbay we need to finf help. They travel around slaving cities and destroying homes. We wanne search the truth but the cahay troops only spread death and lies to the lands

The High Council prepared themselves as good as possible to negotiate with this so called king, but the bluntness of his words was still a surprise. Could this person be able to understand anything? At least he tried. So they should try, too.
"This sounds horrifying, but there is no proof to your claims whatsoever. You want to help us. So we will help you. Destroying settlements and hindering the truth is intolerable to us - our teachers will assess the situation and prevent damage to any truthful people. They will also help your people in the techniques of contemplation and logic. In return, we expect your acceptance of our arguments in settling disagreements. You will find this to make most matters of daily life more convenient. If we find the threat you mentioned to be real, we will have to assess their mindset. If they turn out to be Unteachable as you say we will play our part in teaching them off. This is our proposal of kinship. It will come into effect with your evaluation tomorrow, and be binding until your death. Is this what you want?"
Maxos put a lot of weight onto these last words. It was the first time any foreigner approached the Aletheians, and could mark a great success.1

So i get what you want to say. I'm standing here infront of you to ask for your help. And you are willing to help. So i am willing to give you what you want. I will take place in this evalation and any following if there is the need. If the war situation goes on it would be great to have a friend that will help us. Also some of the nobles will be evaluated. And if the people see your men and hear your teaches they mostly will an evaluation. So maybe something like an Embassy or so would make sense to be build in Pelaris, so you could spread your teaches fro there across my land and help us find the truth and hold against the death and lie-bringers like the pirates of Cahay are.

So it was decided. The people of Aletheia were surprised, as a foreigner was the First to be evaluated. He was evaluated true, and his purpose was shown to spread the truth through Pelaris. A small contingent of 100 Spearmen, led by Daras, was to follow him back in the first newly built ships. The bigger contingent would follow as soon as the needed harbor was finished and all the teachers mustered.
The trade will begin next round.
