people start right away." Her eyes unfocussed for a moment and then she was back with them. "Our report is a positive one to say the least; while the human fleet looked impressive it posed little threat to our own. As we suspected, most of the Impa fleet have moved in along coastal cities to keep their waters clear. We have a team of strategists that have been trying to figure out why the Impa let Noris's water fall with so little Iumenta back up. The reason we suspect is that they knew that Noris was going to fall, or at least at sea it would. We believe that their goal is not to try and beat our navy, they know they can't; however, they can stop landing parties. We think they will focus on trying to keep coast lines clear enough to move supplies and repel landing parties."
    Legon listened as she outlined her plans for how she was going to deal with the Impa Navy. After she was done other Houses gave updates on all of their activities, most either being on schedule with their plans or further ahead than expected. Legon was shocked to hear that the Precipice was being attacked. Tuneal of House Paldin had chosen not to meeting Cona forces at the sentinels but instead to force them to fight in the narrow canyons leading into the valley where the dome was. The representative from House Coreen reported that the land invasion from Pawdin lands had met little resistance in the open plains area south in the empire. His report detailed that in many cases small villages and co-ops welcomed Elvin forces with open arms.  
    "That goes to show that Arkin's work was effective; however, I do not think all of the war will go this easy," Sydin said.
    "No. I do not either," the representative from House Coreen said. "We suspect that the further north we go the more resistance we will face, but more than that even after a town is cleared we expect that in the northern areas we will have more insurgency from those loyal to the Cona Empire. Un Prosa Legon, may I ask what reports we have from House Evindass' spy network?"
    "Yes I have been receiving reports. Thankfully Arkin made plans in the event that he was killed." There was a collective sigh of relief from the room at Legon's pronouncement. "We are still getting information from each city in his network. From what we can tell most of the Cona lands don't even know there is a war on, only high ranking officials seem to know anything. In the southern areas there is more awareness, but the closer to the Capital a city is the less they know. Some of our cells have attempted to start rumors of the war but have had efforts blocked by Iumenta Ascended influencing people heavily," Legon said.
    "This makes you happy Un Prosa?" Hydra asked looking him over.
    "Yes it does, as you are all aware when someone’s mind is influenced too strongly they become aware of it. From all accounts the Iumenta have had to divert their more skilled Ascended to handle the threat we posed. As a result, many novice Ascended are influencing people and in some cases people are starting to become aware."
    This seemed to please most of the Elves in the room and Legon went on. "However, while Arkin's network is giving us information it still needs a new Head, for that I am planning on assigning Stacy, Arkin's right hand in Salez and significant other."  
    "How much do you trust her?" Hydra asked.
    "Arkin had one hundred percent trust in her, they were connected mentally almost the entire time he was in Salez. She has the drive, though that does concern me. I don't want her to make mistakes as she looks for revenge, but that aside I think she is our best option. She knows more about Arkin's operation and plans then anyone, she is even responsible for many of the things his network did."
    None of the house representatives pushed the subject, Legon knew that their questions were more driven out of curiosity than anything else.
    A raven haired Elf representing House Neephom spoke to Sydin. "Sydin what are your plans with the
